why is everyone excited for this game?
>>
Yes. I personally didn't like it but it sold like 20 million copies and they supported with content and event updates for like 10 years.
>>
>>
>>720413226

No idea. I didn't hear of anyone liking the sequel, it even seemed to flop. First game was only popular because it came out during a time people were obsessed with parkour AND zombies.
>>
>>720413226
Dying Light 1 was the first and last time I cared about that franchise. Great game, even if it did end with a QTE final boss.

>Dying Light 1 was the first and last time I cared about that franchise.
Was that the game that starts with the protagonist burning all the zombie virus cure, and minutes after he gets infected, and he has to get a new cure so he has to work for the bad guy?
>>
>>720413226
The first game was pretty fun and was jam packed with content, especially if you bought the DLC that added in a brand new campaign + new open world map + driving go karts
>>
>>720413226
Dying Light 1 was kino despite the corny story. 2 sucked. They seem to be trying to retvrn to Dying Light 1 with this one
>>
>>720414593
Yeah, you go along with a cartoonishly evil government plan to destroy vials of vaccine that holds off turning into a zombie so the good guys need make a deal with a cartel fucker for more. Kyle's actions are profoundly stupid. And I'm pretty sure he pockets a vial of the stuff and they just kind of forget the character did it.

The story being baffling series of bad decisions doesn't change the fact that the combat and exploration is really good though.

I liked this game better as horror where you really stood a good chance of dying, and not "What if he Doomguy"

That first night you're caught away from base at night and need to get away from squidfaces? Awesome. But now I guess it's just "rip and tear"

Roger Craig Smith just makes characters he voices likeable. Ezio, Batman, Sonic just to name a few.

nice comeback, faggot
>>
>>720415756
what comeback?
>>
>>720413226
Pretty sure that DL1 gained its popularity over time due to the base game going on sale and the expansion DLC being a decent follow up. DL2 soured fans so much that it isn't surprising that people are happy about more DL1 style content.

>>720415884
You're right, it was too pathetic to qualify for that description.
>>
>>720416126
Yeah, I was pointing out the obvious. You being a retarded kek.

>>720416281
I'm not wrong, and you having no argument proves it. Go "press X to awesome" you underage fuck.

Dying light 1 was amazing. I have no hope for this game after dead island 2 and dying light 2
>>
>>720413226
1 was. 20 fucking million.
2 was an adequate 5 million. I think losing avelone hurt there.

This game is already better than the first game

I probably would've liked the second game alright if it weren't for the glider, it completely trivialized the parkour which was half the point of the first game, and it wasn't exactly something you could just ignore either, the entire city was built around the idea that you're using it constantly. Why they made it something that essentially gave you full on flight is beyond me.
As I understand it, the glider is removed from this game so I'm reasonably excited.

There's still a sizeable audience willing to pay for zombie stuff, it's just that developers are kinda retarded for the most part and either fuck it up or they did it once to cash in while it was hot and stopped for some reason. Dying Light seems to be one of the only series that still kinda knows what the people want.
>>
I'm not a fan of the main character getting super powers. Dying light 1 was at its best when you were a weak shitter struggling to survive.
Them showing off stuff like this >>720414238
is a bad sign for me. Hopefully it takes a long time ebfore you're at the point where you can beat up volatiles with your bare hands.
Also its funny that they're making a big deal about the main character from 1 coming back when no one gives af about the story.
>>
Was dying light 2 really that bad?
>>
>>720417598
No
but it was a downgrade to the first game
>>
>>720413226
Those views are bottled as hell, but that's standard for the entertainment industry
>>
>>720417841
bottled?
>>
>>720417890
Botted, got autocorrected
>>
>>720417598
The tech looked really downgraded. Zombies didn't interact with environments or obstacles like they used to. Like, whoever their tech wizard was, he's gone now. And they couldn't even scrape together what they used to have.
>>
>>720417552
What do you mean super powers? At the end of the DLC of first game, Kyle Crane becomes a volatile zombie. I assume this is just after the dlc and the time skip ending. He already had"superpowers"
>>
Oh I see, most of the people here didn't even play the first game or the dlcs so it doesn't make sense to them. Kind of surprising since DL1 was on sale for 5 dollars and it sold like hotcakes a few months ago.
>>
>>720418989
These secondaries never played the game
>>
>>720418989
There's 2 endings, and this doesn't appear to consider either canon. Either you nuke the entire region, including the survivors at the original tower... OR you become a volatile zombie. Completely. Ambushing a woman and her daughter, IIRC. But now he's just a normal human again, just supped up. So either he magically transformed back post volatile transformation, or they decided on a third outcome.
>>
>>720418989
I know nigger, I've beat dying light 1 three times.
Thats just not the direction I want the series to go in. How is it gonna be scary when you're some super mutant beating up volatiles with your bare hands and doing cinematic finishing moves >>720413675
The best part of dying light 1 was the first few hours in harran when you're underpowered and struggling. I can't see this game recapturing that feeling when you're now super Crane.
I'm still hopeful the game will be good and it looks like an improvement from 2 but this isn't really the direction I wanted for the series.
>>
>>720414593
Yeah the game is fuckin fantastic for what it is. You may not agree with the narrative, but the way it was delivered was pretty great. The combat still holds up to this day, a product untainted by the retarded AAA garbage practices of current times.
>>
>>720419931
Anon I dont think any game has scared me since DL1. And I doubt any game ever will. I personally do not mind if they don't go with the original game's direction again because it wont work again. It was a lightning in a bottle, and you cant capture it twice. I just hope they learned from the failure of the 2nd game (assuming the same people made that slop)
