Dying Light 1 vs Dying Light 2 | WHICH GAME IS BETTER?

- Dying Light 1 vs Dying Light 2, Which game is better???? With Dying Light 2 just releasing around a month ago, I figured now is a great time now that I’ve finished and done a lot in the game to compare it with Dying Light 1, as that’s another game I really enjoy and who doesn’t like a little needless competition. Plus maybe I can help some of you decide which game to get, but I’m just gonna save you the trouble. I really like both of these games and I would definitely recommend either of them. But just in case you are new to this series of mine, what I do is take two games from the same series and I compare them in three different categories being story, gameplay, and the world. Now normally I would do individual sub categories with points and all that but for Dying Light 1 and Dying Light 2 I'm going to go with another system. Instead for each category I am going to give each game a rating out of 10, and add up the ratings at the end and whichever game has the highest score out of 30 will be crowned the better game. If you enjoyed the video I'd really appreciate if you considered subscribing we are SO CLOSE to 100k!!! Thanks for watching and have a great day everyone!

• Should you Buy Dying L... - เกม
I loved the realistic atmosphere of Dying Light 1.
Dying Light 2 looks a bit like a fantasy world.
DL2 looks like a kids playgroung compared to the 1st
I think it’s cool to see what the outbreak looks like 3 months compared to 15 years probably why it looks so much different too
Yeah it's the medieval dark age theme they tried for
@@_Norse_Nomad_Nah its the bright color pallette, there is almost NOTHING that tells me DL2 is going for a modern dark ages theme other than the fact that they stated it in one of the Dying2Know episodes.
I loved DL1 much better. It makes me feel things DL2 doesn’t. It isn’t scary anymore, I don’t know why but the combat feels lame compared to DL1 too.
Exactly, it is too colorful for a zombie survival game.
Indeed, the combat is garbage now
The first game had much more combat options.
@@Cerex_XxX no it didnt
this comment just looks like you guys never played dl1 or dl2
The SafeHouse system in DL1 is so much better in my opinion, and they aren’t the same,
in DL2 you find a random sleeping bag under a tarp with a generator and turn it on.
In DL1 you find a closed off area that’s flooded with zombies, you clear it out, shut the door and turn on the power.
Much more engaging than running around and turning on generators on rooftops lol
Fair enough
But most of those areas with the tents are up are high on roofs, that the infected would even be up there would be questionable.
If you have read some letters or something those random things with generators are night runner hideouts from the civil war in 2025
@@thetruedeeznuts9423 yes I know, but it doesn’t make the gameplay of going to a rooftop to spam a button for 15 seconds and get a pop up saying I did something good, an enjoyable experience
the lore is cool tho
theres windmills and bandit camps to
I do miss the skeleton cracks as you hit an infected in DL1, I hope they add that in to this new game. It makes the hits more impactful.
I AGREE, FUCK “DIMMING” LIGHT TWO! I THINK “DYIMG LIGHT 1” WAS much BETTER FOR THE CUMINITY!!!
Fr, I can barely even tell I'm getting hit in DL2
I like how snap necks in dl2
@@d-stroyer6888 you can snap necks in dl1 lol
@@dukejohnson1956 please show me quickly where I said you cant ? I said i like how they snap necks in DL2..didnt say anything about DL1 please show me where I did ?
I am gonna be honest, I fellt a little disapointed with DL2. It felt so much like a Ubisoft sequel. And the combat was a lot less satisfying. I still had fun non the less but I still feel like DL1 and Following was still way better
invalid opinion
@@monarch2131 I don't think you understand how opinions work buddy
@@ptprojektred dl2 is a masterpiece bro
I agree mate DL1 is actually much better
@@monarch2131 it's a subjective thing . It's fine if u think that dl2 is masterpiece but why should he
My literal only issue with Dying Light 2 is how the night cut out the emphasis on Volatiles - they don't appear as much, and I felt like it made the night gameplay so much more scary and better. Overall, both underrated and amazing games ^^
If they add Volatiles just walking the streets that would be as much terrifying and amazing.
Virals are still fun to get chased by
idk if dl2 underrated wasnt it like the 3rd most played steamgame
@@user-wi7iy2me7y 1st
@@daddowastaken7543 wtf even beating elden ring?
Personally I feel Dying Light 2 dropped the ball by taking away the "horror" of night and making the game too easy; I've read somewhere that they intentionally made the night time easier and that was NOT a good choice.
Night time is much harder now, even with 48 armour, virals can fuck you up, and volatiles fucking insta kill you, however they need more health.
The night would be good if it was pitch dark again
@@slite2k59 that would be awesome
@@slite2k59 the streets are dark but rooftops are bright. The game is easy lol. Nights in DL1 were terrifying
more easy? :C i dont play the DL1, but DL2 is hard to me walt at night :,c
Am I the only one who thinks the graphics and physics in dying light 1 looks much better, which is weird since the game is 7 years older
I agree.
Dl1 has better physics, graphics definitely not
@@JayJay_18_ I think he means the art style, it's more realistic
@@JayJay_18_I think he means the colours, they look more post apocalyptic and less colourful
i agree
I actually liked how dark the first game was. It felt like the survivors were forced to stay inside and not make developments to the city as much yet. It was 2 months into the outbreak which is why there wasn’t much color. Dl2 however has color coded things such as the monkey bars and ropes which stand out but I think they should blend in.
Yeah. The first one felt like Techland looked at Dead Island players speeding and ignoring all the zombies and thought: "Lets make a game out of that and still throw the kitchen sink at them and bring the fucked up backstory to the fore."
The second one feels more like the quieter moments in the Metro series except it doesn't feel as impactful as traveling through collapsed tunnels and running your way across the monster and radiation filled surface as the Commies and Nazies slaughter each others, Hansa chills and profits from the independent stations and Sparta tries to keep the craziest shit in check and salvage old tech.
Like in Cyberpunk and most AAAs the factions kind of are there but they don't have gravitas in the worldbuiding.
I remember early on how you get stopped before you first go outside and the guys says "just be careful okay, we lost to many already" and you go out and see hundreds of zombies in runners outfits. That stuck with me.
I've felt that the zombies in dy2 doesn't feel that threatful, you can mostly just slow walk past any zombie during the day without any bother at all. The night also feels less threatful as long as your not in a chase.
I heard the new update fixed the night time.
The funny thing is the average zombies feels like they are more my friends than enemies lol
Not really. I get grabbed often while going through zombies on the road
I haven’t played dl2 but the zombies r hella weak when high level in dl1 as well
@@shadowslayer9988 Well that bs.
There should also be a comparison for overall sound design, music, movement, ragdoll physics, gore, atmosphere, lighting, quicktime animations, and enemy design. While DL2 has a better story with more interesting characters, I feel DL1 wins in all the above mentioned categories. DL2 feels like a Walking Dead game. Its comic-booky and vibrant and plays, well, like a video game. Whereas the first one felt grounded and more creepy, especially in some areas where the music got really ominous.
And I got more attached. Like when you first meet a screamer (if that's what they're called). Or Rajim and Jade with their...
Or just the night cycle in general. I was scared at night in DL, I don't even care when it turns to night in DL2.
i still will never understand the “video game feels like video game, BAD” argument. they’re both good at different things, it’s just that one is more fantasy oriented and less realistic feeling, but that doesn’t make it feel worse necessarily? it’s different, different ≠ bad.
@@dreamlined Yea, it is different. Not a bad game by any means, I'd go as far to say it's a better game to DL1. But it isn't Dyling Light anymore. It's too different to be Dying Light. It isn't "Zombie game with some parkour" anymore, now it's "Parkour game with some zombies."
@@dreamlined not a bad game, just not a good sequel
110% true
I strongly disagree with the story assessments. I think the characters in DL2 are weaker across the board, and I found the story of the first game to be much more compelling. Also, I think a lot of the movement changes were negative imo, the grappling hook in particular was MUCH more fun in the first game. I also miss using guns, the fact that they attracted infected kinda helped balance them imo. I also hate the new gear system, specifically the fact that you can't upgrade between levels and repair items. It feels shitty to find a cool piece of gear when I'm close to the next level, because I know that within the hour, the item will be useless. There are just a lot of oversights in the second game that make it feel more hollow than the first one to me. The only thing it did better in my opinion is the actual map itself, everything else was better in the first one. I'd give the first game an 8/10, and the second game a 6.5.
What i hate about dying light 2 is the looks of inventory and the hud and also the animations the night time in the first game was much more fun because there was an actual risk but i have to agree it wasnt rewardful as it should be the night zones and immunity system is in my opinion really good addition because it makes u feel more infected than in the first game
@@kratousek1 yeah I actually really enjoy the immunity system too.
Same. And I can’t stand Lawan. There. I said it.
To pretend that the 2nd game makes no improvements over the first is comical 😂
@@JSmooove98 I think that they made a lot of changes, but I'd disagree that many of them were improvements. I definitely think DL2 would've benefitted from another 6 months of development, it felt very underwhelming and lacking compared to the first.
I've played the hell outta DL and just finished DL2. Overall, I think original DL is a better game - story is more memorable, fantastic atmosphere, level design is way more interesting, slashing zombies feel much better, crafting system is actually a big part of the game, much better grappling hook mechanics. I can barely remember any special moments from DL2 playthrough, it was very bland. The only things that DL2 has over DL is a better parkour system (although capped behind finding inhibitors) and better graphics. I'm hoping that DLC will bring some life into DL2, but I'm going back to playing the original after the next gen update. Stylistically, DL is superior - way more scarier, much better colours throughout, night time is actually challenging. I expected way more out of DL2 and felt let down. 7 years between games, not much innovation & a lot of downgrades. it's a 6/10 game at best, while DL is 8/10. Highly recommend waiting for sale on DL2 and grabbing the original for a fraction of a price (it goes on sale all the time)
Just remember, dying light also had multiple updates and a lot of support during the 7 years so not all hope is lost, I think most of the people who bought dying light bought the enhanced edition, not the original one( that was what I heard)
@@basimali619 I'm hoping for some interesting content, but I'm not sure they will fix the core gamplay
@@HaevyGlow there’s nothing wrong with the gameplay bro. Majority of the people either like it or are at least satisfied with it
@@basimali619 nothing wrong with it but its very different, DL1 felt a lot more satisfying. I know exactly what this dude is talking about
@@jdb9388 seems like it differs from person to person but to me, it feels the same as dl 1, which was satisfying
The reason why the combat feels heavier and so much different in 1 than 2 is because 2 is animation based. 1 is physics based.
In 2, it's based purely on programming. In 1, the action takes into account physical objects, npcs included.
Thats why, if you notice, volatiles in 2 won't fall off a ledge of they lunge at you, instead hitting an invisible wall.
Meanwhile in 1 they're sent flying as far as they were running fast.
Low key disappointed with DL2 compared how amazing DL1 was. I was hype for DL2 and in alotttt of ways feel let down. As i have already stopped playing it & went back to DL1
Me exactly the Same
Same.
but dl2 right now is better, there are updates
I don’t know. After playing both games, but I’ve played Dying Light 1 about every year since it’s release, so I may be biased. I feel like Dying Light 1 just has better atmosphere to it. Nighttime really wasn’t scary for me in 2, and I had to go actively out of my way to seek danger.
Do you think DL1 would feel dated if I played DL2 first?
@@theartillery9724 eh. Maybe the graphics would definitely seem a little less good. Dying Light did come out in 2015, after all. (Or was it 16? Hmmm…)
I gotta disagree. I think the story in DL1 is absolutely phenomenal. I could play the story over and over again without getting tired of it. I remember DL1 mostly because of the story. The gameplay is still very nice though in DL1.
I agree I just picked up dying light from cex yesterday and spent 13hrs and completed the story about 3 hours ago and I'm 40% done woth the following DLC. already one of my favourite games with the highly detailed sounds that play at night
@@JordanDuffy49 nice man. Glad you like it. Dying light will always have a special place in my heart
@@timothylever1660 I'm not someone who gets scared easily man but the sounds of bottles breaking in the pitch black as some player is hunting me down while I'm hidden on a roof is terrifying. truly a masterpiece
@@JordanDuffy49 YES. This. Love it too
Thanks to your opinion, I broke out of my FPS & action circle to play my first survival horror game-Dying Light. And God, did it turn out to be so good!!!
The only things I didn't love at all about DY2 is most of the stuff shown in the E3 trailers back in 2018 and 2019 has either been removed or changed (by change I mean not for the best). I don't mind the removal of guns or the setting being green too much but the horror element and artstyle for DY2 really put it off for me. Not once in DY2 did I ever feel like I was in any real danger or had to pause the game to actually think what my next move would be due to the horrible situation I might've put myself in (in DY1 it was the night time with Volatiles swarming around everywhere). It's not a bad sequel but not the sequel I and many others were waiting for 7 years.
At least I wasn't the last of us part 2...
@@Iamnotaspy. XD yeah that's true.
Yeah I really don't like the nighttime changes, should've made it scarier like DL1. Gameplay loop is also ass
Damn it's been 7 years 👀💀
Atleast now, techland added ‘gritty’ so it looks more like the e3
Man i just miss the physics of the zombies and the combat system of dying light 1. I gotta say i also liked the old map better.
I'm just now playing DL2. I absolutely loved DL1 at the time, and I had amazing amounts of fun with it. The exploration was great, and I loved little dumb stuff like getting the head stomp ability and stomping any zombie that got close to a car you were standing on. I felt that guns weren't exactly over used in DL1. I felt they worked just fine, it's not like you could use them for every single situation anyway. I'll come back to this video once I finish the game, but DL2 has a lot to live up to.
and guns attract virals which makes it unviable to use since it'll just bring more zomboids
?
@@montyq9857 Never finished DL2. I hated it
@@phil_matic really? Well idk I’m like 2 hours in I thinks it’s been pretty fun. What made you dislike it?
@@montyq9857 It just didn't have that satisfying feel to play it. It felt way too much like a chore to kill enemies, and idk why but for some reason my beginning weapons are absolute trash as well. Traveling around the map feels idk... not as good too
I didn't know that they had removed guns from the game. The gunplay in the first wasn't great but I was hoping for an improvement to it. Knowing that they left them out all together has made me decide to not purchase the sequel. I'm sure it's a fantastic game, but it's obviously not what I was hoping for. Thank you for the insight.
I'm confused as to why you would only play DL2 if it had guns. Wasn't the combat in dying light supposed to have a melee focus in the first place? And it's not like you have no ranged weapons at all.
I feel with the 20 year gap it's pretty believable that guns (or ammo) would have been almost entirely used up after so many years of different factions fighting each other.
That's fair BUT they do have kind of a cheesedick gun
Lol baby doesnt get his guns so no play.
Ion know why you guys ridiculing his opinion. I believe his opinion is based on that he likes when the apocalypse is just starting in the world and you have to use guns because that’s all you know in a zombie apocalypse. It has something to do with roleplay. He most likely doesn’t the game because its set so far into the future that you are now in a more civilized world then when it was ending.
Dying light one would've been better without guns and more emphasised combat
Love how you setup your videos and I do agree with alot of your points
Almost 100k, and nice comparison!
Great formatting and excellent points. I’ve been on the fence about getting DL2 for a while, and this definitely helped me come to a decision. Thanks again, I always go to you before making a final decision.
Couldn't agree more with the score.I just completed Dying Light 2 a few days ago and it's amazing what improvements you can make in 7 years.And for me I didn't miss the guns at all and using the paraglider is so much better
ye as a game it's totally good. But as a sequel to a zombie-focused game, its really mediocre.
DL2 is a great game but my main issue is the nights arent scary anymore in DL1 you were frantically running from lots of volatiles where as now i barely even notice them and the characters were generic except Waltz or sucked (Barney)
@@Diamondistaken Must admit I wanted to punch Barney a lot and there really aren't a lot of scary games anymore apart from a few indie games
@@Diamondistaken I think that's actually a good thing.
🤨
I’ve been looking forward to this 😄
I could totally see guns coming in a dlc for dying light 2 and vehicles, if they give this game as much support as the 1st im sure we'll get it all.
Did the developers say there isn't any guns? I don't remember what building it was. But the voice-mail on the machine says someone thing about their arsenal should still be stashed. So I always assumed there would be guns somewhere in the game.
Right now, I like 1 more. The story is good in 2, but I liked just about everything more in 1 because it felt more likeable. Love both.
I got my Steam Deck about a month ago and have been very interested in both of these great games for a long time. Dying Light one is currently on sale for $9.99 and $12.49 for the definitive edition with all DLC and add-ons included. I think I have made my decision.
That's exactly what I did 💯
The biggest problem with DL2 is the lack of camera movement and atmosphere. DL1 I feel like perfectly nailed the camera movement and animation transitions, while DL2 feels super floaty and less impactful. The atmosphere, ohhh the atmosphere of DL1, that shit was GOOD, you actually FELT like you were in an apocalypse with dangers everywhere and much more dense casual enemies, getting around the map wasn’t as easy in DL1 which really set the tone for the game
(Dying Light 1) Nah comabat was so much better against zombies i mean look at the slow motion or xray, and when you broke bones they cant stand up.
@Groat But not as good
The combat in dying light 2 just needs active Ragdoll physics otherwise it's better because of the variety of moves that can be performed
On paper your assessment seems good.I loved 1 more.More is not always better.In 1 I was more immersed, more scared, more vulnerable.Everything weighted more.More tension in daylight and night time.In contrast, the second one, felt like chores with no risk, all set up for fast gameplay.I know many ppl prefer fast pacing, but that makes people rush through zones, not making an emotional connection to the place, not even remembering it.I remember how in 1 I would explore anything, any building, to the point I knew the world like my own neigborhood.
I loved Dying Light 2, bugs aside it’s an amazing game. Thing is, I am disappointed with how the nights work, one thing I loved about DL1 was how scary the nighttime was, and how amazingly dark it was. DL2 is a bit too colorful and not as scary since Volatiles don’t roam around the streets or roofs anymore. You kinda have to go out of your way to see them. I would suggest that Volatiles roam the streets, and SOMETIMES the roofs of buildings since they are supposed to be the apex predator that murders night runners, ya know?
They do now but it's rare
The DLC The following in part 1 was great, with the sentient zombies. I think Techland let the ball drop not continuing from there, and also forgetting about Be The Zombie Mode 🤦🏻♂️
DL1 feels like a horror game with fresh action elements to it, while DL2 feels more like a common action game with some horror elements to it.
You even played it
@@pirazhar9760 no, I just like to make stuff up
I miss volatiles patrolling during night. It would be amazing if Howlers summon volatiles only and after one volatile spot you then the chase begins. Up to level 3, volatiles and virals then after chase 4 blue volatiles, spiters and some chargers. Also grappling hook need some love. Feels kinda useless compared with the glidder
Yeah I love it how soon as one sees you rip
I just finished playing the anniversary edition of dying light 1 & it’s awesome! This was a game I skipped & never played, but I’m glad I came upon it. It reminded me of the 1st Dead Island! It’s definitely worth it!
Love these videos
i kept reading the subtitles and everytime i needed to play back the video lmao
Tbh I do find myself missing the the city of haran as opposed to vilidor however sometimes the most romanial task of climbing seems out of place compared to the first game where it just seemed much easier to get to your destination although still offering challenge, as I have recently unlocked the highest point in the game the VNC Tower still seems to be a pain in the ass to get to the secret spots, whoever considering even today they released a final final update after over 7 years with the first game I'm sure many improvements will be added to this throughout the years to where it is essentially perfected as far as the dying light game can go like the first one after after killing some 4 million 700,000 zombies in the first game and still feels just as fresh as the first one that's one thing they have done so it's really well!
I feel like DL2 was a lot more with its beauty aspect and less of the horror aspect even the volatiles in DL2 were not as scary as in DL1 I still think there both amazing games but dl1 was a lot scarier
The lack of guns is a disgrace imo, the fun thing about them was having to chose when to use them or not. They do more damage and give you range, but at the cost of allerting everyone in the vicinity.
Its about having the option, they can add a paraglider and chicken suit, but not a handgun?
They could have also just reduced ammo availability, meaning you cant find it in stores, just police/army vehicles and crates.
Its a huge missed opportunity
Honestly I found the entire safezone system in DL1 much better than in DL2, I liked that each safezone looked different and how you have to clear out, and secure them. In DL2 though, you've just gotta turn on a generator or climb a windmill 30+ times just to unlock a social hub that basically all look the same. On that note, I like Harran WAY more than Villedor, while being smaller, it is far more detailed and diverse, but in Villedor, it's just a HUGE, copy pasted, repetitive open world. I could pretty much always tell where I was in DL1 just by looking at the road or the buildings, but in DL2 I have to constantly look at my map to properly find my way back to POIs.
Agreed, Dying Light 1 was already a masterpiece and I don't know how Techland managed to top that off and make it even better, now lets hope all those atom sized bugs get fixed making this game even better than it already is.
I see I'm not alone.
IMO the first game is a 9/10 and the sequel is an 8. Overall it’s a better game probably but the horror hasn’t been achieved as well in the sequel.
This game gets a lot of hate, but with some bug fixes and maybe population the world with more massive groups of regular zombies would spice things up, those are the only things I feel like is keeping this game back.. also the impact of your hits in dl1 felt great, they should just make your head Bob more when you successfully hit someone
@Haxkarl yeah i definately agree with you, the City is huge but EVERY activity is pure copy and paste. DL1 is wayyyy better.
They really just need a Volatile/night update, I feel this game will have a bunch fixes,upgrades, and dlc within the next couple years it's better to wait for a collectors or enhanced editions
Ohh man, I remember watching you when you had 5000 subs : ), oh boy the assasins creed reiews were good :D. I saw your progression to almost 100000 subs. Good job dude keep it up!!!
In a nutshell
Dying light 1 makes you feel like a scared baby hiding atop rooftops avoiding volatiles
Dying light 2 makes you feel like a god dam action hero in a super hero film that happens to have zombies in it
The first game is better especially if you have the version with everything in it
I've been wondering about getting DL2. I think I'll wait for the price to go down some and after I finish the games I'm playing now and give it a go
Yeh it’s a fun game but not a game you just have to play right now
wait for it to go on sale, and when the bugs are fixed, or wait to see if there’s a special version with the story DLCs like how they did with DL1 and The Following
Dont download lol. Waste of money, im going back to DL1.
@@adamparker3151 lmao my thoughts exactly
@@adamparker3151 maybe just wait for updates.
damn bro started watching you at 2.6k subs congrats!
My biggest problem with DL2 was the introduction of enemy health bars and levels... It really takes the edge out of the game... In Dying Light 1, you had no idea how strong something was or how close you were to something actually staying dead, which constantly kept you on your toes. In DL2, you just check the health bar, which can easily tell you, if it's safe to go in for that extra swing, which will kill them.
I also really miss the X-ray effect, there was something extremely satisfying about smacking a zombie in the head and watching the skull crack.
You can turn off the health bars in the settings and there is also an X-ray effect that triggers for Dying Light 2.
As of now I’ve enjoyed dying light more but maybe that’s because it was given time and it was given updates and dlc frequently. I’m hoping dying light 2 will have the same growth and attention the first one got
Just finished my first play through of 2 and I wish I had set it to hard mode. The game seems a little easy to me by comparison. Especially the end, was far too simple. The art is amazing, but I really liked the island feel. I kinda feel like the swimming was almost pointless in this one. The bugs I encountered where I’d find Easter egg ducks but not be able to pick them up, then come back and they’d be gone wasn’t a delight either. It honestly felt to me they had been making the game, and the CV19 pandemic happened and so they kicked it into high gear and slapped the last 1/3 if not more of the game together to help with hype. I really enjoyed 2 still, but I’m not sure it has the same feel as 1 where sometimes you sign on just to crack some skulls and not even do missions. I have restarted the game in hard mode, to see a different ending, but honestly not as into it as I really liked the ending I got. Kinda found a lot of the combat moves pointless too, would have liked to see that energy go elsewhere. 1 was a 10/10 for me and 2 is a 8/10 do to all the initial bugs (that have mostly been resolved) and feeling too easy. If/when 3 comes out I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it. Can’t wait for some good DLC for 2.
If they added a nightmare mode and nerfed the damage abilities do by a bit it'd feel tougher. I'm on my first DL2 playthru and I've been playing on hard since the start, the fights feel extremely easy. Theres no point in me using my weapons / consumables when my dropkick / dart instakills enemies. Same goes for headstomp which should use way more stamina to balance out the fact it always kills. The immunity should also be more strict on hard diffficulty, once i got to 8 minutes on my immunity timer it was pretty much a non-threat and a pretty useless mechanic, which sucks given that nighttime is already too easy
At long last, he has uploaded 🙏🏼
Dying light 1 was so damn atmospheric you could drown in it, harran felt like a real country, it was also so dark i remember early in the game your stopped by a guard before you go outside for the first time and he says "just be careful ok, we lost to many already" and you end up seeing hundreds maybe thousands of zombies in runner outfits, Or the wall of the dead by the tower that has tons of pictures of people and #saveharran painted on the ground. It feels like a real plague has actually wiped out a country.
Lol i am still playing dying light 1
I loved DL1 & pre-ordered DL2 out of hype...and I gotta say I'm disappointed. It's still a fun but it just feels off. Parkour feels clunky, story is boring, combat system is weak, weapons are lame, all the tension is gone as it feels they focused more on enemy humans than zombies this time around.
I'm enjoying the game, but I am pretty let down overall after my hype over all these years.
Ok dying light 1 fanboy
@@gregdennert4441 that may be the dumbest response to this comment you could possibly make.
Master 100k is right around the corner and being here since 3k so are you gonna make a battlefront gameplay video for nostalgia
Dying Light 1 was more immersive for me. Hell, they used the ambiance of horror icon Romero. Was so creepy and eerie, just like you feel with his movies.
I have played a hundreds of hours of both dying light one and dying light two,and honestly I can say that dying light to will in the future be a better game than dying light one, but we are so new into the life cycle of this game it hasn't been given a chance to flourish like the first one.
I's say second part has it's improvements. I love DL2 parkour for example, and paraglider is fantastic thing. The world is big and not empty. But art desing is killing me (buildings are not included, but rooftop plants do). Zombies? I don't remember any of them, I mean how they look exactly. In DL1 even biters felt unique, not some grey trashbags in DL2. I'm not even talking about special zombies. Bomber, toad, bolter, goon, demolisher, screamer. They were unique. And Volatiles, they're scary because they were the ones who spot you, like being spotted by predator looking for their prey, not some screaming howlers, harmless screaming guy, it's like touch the alarm on the car. Yes it means, that danger is coming after you, but you have a time to get out, before owner comes out. I don't mean DL2 special zombies are bad, no, they are good, but in gameplay only(howlers are not included, they are useless) . their Art design is terrible (in comparison with DL1 of course). DL2 is a bad looking girl with screaming bright orange makeup that doesn't suits her (zombie, clothes and plants design, animation impact) , her inner world is quite promising, not great, but good enough (quests, lore, characters, choices and consequences) , but her body and the way she use it is the one of the best things you can experience (gameplay)
Bro the way u explain this shit
@@toy5965 fr wtf lol
The guns in the first dying light seemed a bit op and if course adding the suppressor and subsonic ammo worked to an extent all through the aiming mechanic,was a bit clunky and slow, however the combat is much more improved so fluent and responsive the mods weather blast or crit build up is awesome
Yeah, I have no qualms concerning the lack of guns. Melee combat has always been more fun and visceral.
A simple beautiful and legit comparison
For me it’s an absolute walk over.
The story, setting, safe houses, weather, character development, physics, atmosphere, day/ night cycle, combat, gravity setting, building interiors are all far superior in the first game.
I mean you couldn’t make aiden more generic and the atmosphere more flat than DL2 if you tried really hard.
To top it off In my personal experience with DL2 I had so many bugs, including 2 that completely broke the game.
I uninstalled it within a month and it’s £70 I’ll never get back.
Crane is also incredibly generic. Just your standard badass military man, Aiden sells his emotional moments better.
And Villedor is far more alive than the Harran. The city has more colors, and the fact that the streets are dead while the roofs are colorful and populated with vegetation is pretty unique, not sure how you could call that flat.
I could insert the preference for the day/night cycle, combat, gravity, interiors and setting though. Harran is darker than Villedor and more "hopeless"
@@whitepanther3939 2 is trash bruh, the combat and parkour is just bad, so unrealistic
Nah there's something missing in 2 that's present in 1. And overall DL1 is a better experience
After watching Aussie gg’s return to dying light stream he mentioned how zombies scaled in dying light 1. When you first start the game zombies are slow pale and missing a limb and they evolve over the story, this is so much more engaging than the zombies increasing in damage and health
Just started playing DL again never finished the following...I'm really enjoying coming back to this game and I love the setting of the following
DL1 has so many moments where it was almost shit your pants level of scary moments. And night time in that game is on par with intense horror games it was genuinely tough and scary to go out at night
DL2 is sooooo soft compared to the first. Maybe a couple times where I jumped.
The parkour and combat def is better than DL1 but the fear that game put into you isn’t matched
I can't really agree with the score, all round DL1 is better. They really butchered the combat and parkour realism/physics and dumbed down the atmosphere. The map design is also not as fluid and is quite flat without many hills or cool locations like infamy bridge. DL2 just feels uninspired and like it was developed by Ubisoft lol
dl2 combat is 100000000000000000x better than dl1, dl1 is just slash fest with drop kicks. DL2 has tons of viable and effective ways to appraoch a fight. Similar with the parkour also 1000000000000000x better as there are tons of different parkours moves in dl2 with way better parkour layout. DL1 is inferior to DL2 in everything except maybe storytelling.
@@idestructiiion1337 if you can honestly say DL2 is Better than DL1 i question your mental stability. DL1 has folk songs written about it, tales are told about its unique and amazing gameplay. DL2 will be forgotten before 2023
@@jdb9388 bro honestly you should quit smoking crack. DL1 is lightyears inferior to DL2 in every aspect except story, given story is subjective. Combat is 100 times better than DL1, Parkour is 500x better than DL1. Graphics are 100x better, world and details are 100z better.
@@idestructiiion1337 They say smoking crack opens the mind, whilst being dropped on your head as a baby, like you. Closes it.....
In dying light 1 if a biter grabs u, and if there were other biters around they could attack u but on dying light 2, zombies can't do that they can't bite u around Aiden if your grabbed by a single biter.
Combat in DL1 feels like it matters what weapon you use, DL2 is just swing right swing left and repeat with all weapon types
I gotta disagree with you about Crane... He wasn't confused about which side he wanted to join... As soon as the GRE decided to give odd quests to him, he automatically wanted to help the survivors and save the city. He also wanted to help Zere and Camden find a cure which is a great purpose.
Hell he even gave away his ticket out of Harran so that he can stay and help the people
Crane was a great protagonist, Roger Craig Smith did a superb job ...
Rais may have been generic yes but his voice acting was great and on point... I was actually glad to know that he was the same voice actor of Angelo Bronte from red dead redemption 2
Dying Light 2 only did the parkour and combat (maybe) better
Dying Light 1 had better story, atmosphere and music
But hey, you can't please everyone I guess
Yes crane is the great protagonist and in the dying light 2 they mention Kyle Crane is the Hero of Harran.
why does Dying Light 2 give me Farcry but zombies vibes.
I can't be the only one. You should make a Dying Light vs Farcry video.
After playing both far cry 6 and dying light 2 i must say they 2 different games and they dont have the same vide i mean dying light 2 doesnt have guns lol dying has a lot of good side content that doesnt feel like go to point A to point B and the story is really interesting and can change a lot of things while far cry is just the same thing over and over again
It kinda has the FarCry/Ubisoft game formula to an extent with missions and some side activities so I kinda see where you’re coming from
Agreed, Dying Light 1 and 2: Far Cry with Zombies, summed up in a phrase. Which is not at all a bad thing as I love the open ended nature of both of these games, I generally care less about story or quests and just go to exploration. I still find stories good though
Probably because of the UI/UX design and some open world bloat like evac convoys, forsaken stores and dark hallows along with GRE hospitals.
dude this was my exact reaction, im playing farcry with zombies, even climbing the windmills
First I want to mention that you are doing such an amazing job and I really enjoy your videos so much! Thank you 😄❤️🔥💪
And also I got a request which would interest quite a few people I think:
Could you please make a video about the game “7 days to die”? I really want to know what this game is about and if it’s any good. Because it’s on PlayStation store for only €7 now until March 17th.
I love DL 1 better in every way. The only thing I don't like is the lack of different zombies appearances. I feel like I get horded by the same zombie.
Dying light 1 is much better
Fully agree with this comparison! But I will add that with the guns in Dying Light 1 that the guns ended up ruining the tension of the last parts of the game and ruining every encounter that came after getting a gun, it made the game way to easy and boring. Glad they got rid of guns as well.
Guns kinda ruined the game for me in general in DL1, the fact I had 30k damage semi-auto shotgun to just say “fuck off” to everything in front of me with was fun but it gets dry and melee weapons don’t lose their fun factor to me
You can play DL1 without a gun lol 😆
@@robbiehutch8126 If a gamer has to force themselves to use a weaker weapon just to have fun then your game has failed at this critical point & it did. Dying Light 1 failed at the end because the guns make the game drain dead & have no challenge.
@@ImStillWoodynah, youre not forced to use them
The aesthetic of dying light 1 the art style...so much better then 2...the faded vibez of the cities and that sun...dam that sickly faded sun..
I hope you make another video like this in the future. as Dying Light 2 is yet to get its 2 story DLCs that will add more story. and more open world areas just like how DL1 got the following.
No1 is better on everything.
Gotta say dying light 2 was a massive disappointment. Definitely if you go back and look at the E3 gameplay. Id much rather have that game then what we got.
Assassin are you into the souls games? I'm curious what you think about Elden Ring
I played a TON of DL1 which I always thought was a lucky find for me. I bought it on my xbone during a discount where it was super cheap and though I hadn't ever heard of it, the description sounded cool so I figured I'd try it out, falling in love with it.
That said, what I've played of DL2 seems to be having the same effect as the 1st, if not a little more. I really like the re-tuned parkour (I know, I'm in the minority), the combat is fantastic, the world design is absolutely beautiful with a killer soundtrack to compliment, and the characters are a little better as well though there is the occasional bland one. Aiden is great, much better than Crane, mostly cause he's not as cringey with his line delivery.
As you state though, they both are fantastic games. Only thing I'm disappointed with is the initial purchase. I bought the deluxe edition thinking it was the base game and season pass, only to find out the season pass is only in the ultimate while deluxe only gives you access to 1 future expansion if I understand correctly.
dying light 1 is still in earth fight zombies in Harran,and more realistic
DL2 is like fantasy world,i don't feel like in earth although there is a lot of buildings and humans..it's not like a zombie games that i want
DL2 NPC in out of base not look like human,it's like fairy tale creatures
You played dl2?
If the game gets too easy with guns, just don’t use them. People these days are soo stupid when it comes to this stuff.
I played both of the games still Dying light 1 much more fun and exciting to play. And that feeling that you are running for your life isn't there anymore in dying light 2.
All I need for 2 is a Nightmare Mode so I can have a challenge a real reason to use boosters and elemental arrows/bolts and even stronger weapons to some extent
Dying light 1 no doubt. It even launched better. Plus guns🤔☺️
Guns ruined the game in DL1. I'm glad they removed them from the second game.
@@NewCandyCane shit🙄🤣
@@NewCandyCane gun are fun in dl1
@@NewCandyCane ok Karen 😷
@WastedZymbol
I'd say Firearms improved the overall combat and gives more options to engage with whatever Hoard or chase you're dealing with
DL2 does not even hold a candle to Dying light 1
Dying Light is the reason gamers were crazy hyped for Dying Light 2. Of course the 2019 E3 footage elevated the hype too. But the game needed at least a year longer development. It didn't reached its potential.
As soon as I started dl2 I turned off health bars and I just saw this video and went. 'How does the enemies have health bars?'
The first Dying Light is a thousand times better than Dying Light 2. I despise Dying Light 2. One of the most broken and stupid releases of this year
On drugs, 2 is one of the best games I’ve played
@@sarnecki6059 you played the most unrealistic parkour ever 😆😆😆
Literally how is he gonna say “the parkour feels more smooth in 2” like tf no it doesn’t
1 was some much better
The DL1 OGs finna be mad about this one
Dl1 is my favorite game of all time, I played it more than any other. I'm not mad because the game is what I wanted from the recent trailers, a melee focused parkour action zombie game. For bugs which I had they were already fixed and I'm just waiting for more content.
@@quartermaster2809 glad ur enjoying it bro it seems like most dl1 players aren’t liking the sequel so much
Dying light 2 feels as if Techland recruited from Ubisoft to complete the game for them.
Dying light 1 was a survival horror dying light 2 is Hollywood nonsense.
Personal preference here: My friend and I are playing DL2 co-op. At the moment we like DL1 much better.
First off, there are too many bugs in DL2. We got caught respawning in a room with no exit and couldn't get out - this caused us to restart the game. Several times zombies were attacking us with no life bar so they couldn't be killed. There are times when my friend could access a GRE box and I couldn't because a hatch wouldn't open up - this caused us to go back and replay the area. The game controls don't seem to be as good as the original as we have a much harder time running across cable lines, climbing, etc. It seems like we fall way more than the original game.
I think the map is better in DL1 and doesn't see so "cut and paste" - maybe it's all the plants and tree on top of the buildings in DL2. I love the grappling hook in DL1. The planes dropping supply boxes and racing to get them. There seems to be a lot more lockpicks in the first game and more weapons to find. We spend most of our time on the roof tops in DL2 where in DL1 we spent more time on the street level looking for things.
how is it with the new patch?
Bro missed world war 3 and 4 writing this 🤣
Did u really just say that dl1s map isn’t copy and pasted…. There’s like 4 different building assets😭
@@JayJay_18_ at least the dl1 map has more easter eggs
@@saulgoodmanunofficial dl2 actually has more and we haven’t even found have of them yet
