Preload is live, game unlocks later today. Can they redeem the shitshow that was the second game? Early previews are positive and all the marketing is making a point of how this is more like the first game. We'll see I guess, but I'm pretty excited to play and find out.
>>720974942>Can they redeem the shitshow that was the second game?Probably not, and I don't really care to give them the chance.
>get dying light>enjyoing my time>night-time comes>uninstallI'm just too much of a bitch for horror
>>720974942>>720975013People didn't like the second? Why? It seemed fine
>>720975051That was the best part though, the intro to night time in 1 that explained "no, faggot, you RUN," to you was such a fun change from daytime gameplay and it was such a great moment in sound design since Crane activity sounds desperate and almost panicked in a chase or hiding at night and I liked how it encouraged you to actually go back to safe zones to avoid having to deal with night runs, and the missions that took place at night were treated in game as big fucking deals that the characters have no other choice to do. Comparing that to 2 where one of the very first side missions you encounter involves you doing a night race with a retard scammer and it's like fucking night and day on that shitGod 2 is such a soulless sequel. I'm playing through it right now and for every one cool idea two more concepts are shit
>>720975051play with a friend to make it less scary anon or alternatively, wait until one of the events that gives you unlimited grappling hooks and run away in terror
>>720975105They made a second one?
>>720974942I got the game since i’m an ultimate edition paypig hope the game openworld is interesting I got an explorer itch
if this game has copy pasted ubisoft time waster missions like dl2 i'm gonna be pissed
>>720975051I felt the opposite and the RPG mechanics of the game make you too strong too fast, and there's really no tension anymore. I liked having to actually weigh up if it was worth going out at night.
>>720975051you're supposed to run back home in a panic it's fun
>>720975051>play DL1>terrified of the night>makes all of the scattered safe zones throughout the infected areas super comfy because you feel so safe in there
>>720975051those night time dungeon crawls are something else embrace the suck
>>720975536>Owners of DL2 Ultimate get The Beast + PreOrderBonus for free I have to give them credit for this. They're really trying to make it up to people how shitty DL2 was when it launched. I still need to play it, and for that matter finish DL1, but Techland for all their faults at least seems to really put effort into supporting their games for the long haul. Though I'm still a bit annoyed that the games are all >Its 4 copies of the same dude in multiplayer, with slightly different clothesThey know how Dead Island worked with different aesthetics and abilities, so I don't get why you couldn't; have customized a character or some shit. For DL1 for instance you could have either played Crane or Jade (and then changed their hair styles, colors , maybe face etc etc) and the one you didn't play would have the role that Jade had in the game etc. I can understand it for DL1 to a degree for them to kinda cheap out because it was an early A/AA title a decade+ ago, but for fuck's sake DL2 sold as a AAA title; it shouldn't be 4 copies of Aidan whateverthefuck. Hell, you should have at very least been able to pick either Aiden or Rosario Dawson's character to play as and then go from there. Then again DL2 should have had many other changes including better development of both factions but I digress.
>no denuvoI will pirate out of boredom
>>720975409I got the same impression by the 2nd game, though I didn't play it myself Kind of just feels underwhelming, like everything got played down instead of doubling down on nigttime horror and daylight action.
>>720976103>DL2 ultimateHow can I check if I have this I can't find it on Steam
>>720975105DL2 was a downgrade to first one in many regards ( no throwing your melee weapon, no fists, no guns, lame nights etc). They did fix most of these issues, even removing the samina cost for climbing after player feedback, and added guns to the game. It's decent now, easily 15 bucks worth or so. Remains to be seen if the beast is good from the start, or if it will need a year in the oven like DL 2 did.
>>720976023and then in 2 there are uv lights everywhere
>>720976343Its not longer available. Go into your DLC if you own the game, and one of the DLC you own should be like "Ultimate Pack" or something similar
>>720976610thank you!
>>720976343If you got it the game should be in your library
preload is up
I really want this game to be good. Can't wait to see the reception.
>denuvo last minuteits ogre
>>720975828From what I saw it has actually safe houses where you need to turn on power and clear out to use like in 1 instead of the windwill dogshit in 2 so that's a plus
>>720977802Good.
It’s funny how the Beast feels more like the actual Dying Light 2, than the actual Dying Light 2What the fuck were they thinking with dropping Crane as main character in the first place??Sequel should have always been about Crane especially after the Following cliffhangerI also like that in the Beast you have a giga nigga mutant mode, gives me Far Cry Instincts vibes
>no reviews yetuh oh
denuvo status? I rather not give p*les any money.
>>720979296I'm so glad that most games have denuvo nowadays these people are vile
>>720975013Between DL2 development hell, bad reviews and how fast The Beast released I can only imagine that it well go back to DL1 big time.
>>720979057Dying light 2 could've been great.If the writing wasn't whatever the fuck it was.
>>720976103Yeah it’s a solid one they do here plus they did update DL2 alot with slop content like seasonal quests to complete I enjoyed my time. I had friends to play with though
>>720974942I'm waiting to see how it runs first. If it's buggy as shit and performs like ass I'm not getting it but if it runs fine, then I'll pick it up to play with a mate
the devs are racist
If Mama ain’t happy, nobody happy!
>>720979057After 2 was kind of a shitshow it seems like they got scared straight like "okay okay we'll just make DL1 but better this time like we should've." Looks like a lot of systems that were changed for little reason in 2 are back to what they were.Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be shit, or is yet another technical mess on release.
so how shit is it?
>>720974942uhhh, its going to be even less optimised than dying light 2 isnt it?
>>720975105It just felt generic. They botched some of the atmosphere, copied and pasted parts of the levels, story didn’t matter, nights were too bright.
holy shit...a WALLPAPER PACK?
2 was pretty disappointing, so i'm not gonna buy this onewill pirate tho
>>720981285YOOOOOOOO
>>720981285BAD. ASS.
I'm glas this game dialed down the cringe cause it actually let's me appreciate the gameplay
>memories of drop kicking zombies off roofs with my friend in dying light 1we need to go back..
guys the game isn't out yet who knows if they actually made it more like DL1
>>720982159Well night is good and dark so it's good enough for me
guns were a mistake, they were trash and felt shit in dl1 and were even more so in dl2, REMOVE GUNS
>>720982159Dying Light tubers already played the beta build and they're saying its a masterpiece
>>720982505agreed
>>720982520>>720982659I think them not really being a necessity is a good way to handle it. I enjoy going around shooting zombies sometimes
>>720974942hopefully it will capture a bit of the kino that was 1. two was absolutely vomit-tier shit compared to the first. combat was a massive downgrade, the city just looked too cookie cutter, and the graphics were less soulful. Haran was based, getting invaded by 420XxXNIGHTREAPERxXX and dunking on him with my parkour moves was based. nights were dangerous and based. crane was based. i just want some of that soul back bros, please.
>>720982520i hope they're right
>>720981285HOLY FUCK I JUST PICKED UP TWO DELUXE COPIES, ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR MY WIFE'S BULL
>>720983035holy shit, someone else actually enjoyed getting invaded? i used to farm those mega steroid boosters, get dozens of them and just go roidrage mode whenever invaded. i killed sooo many fucking night hunters like that.
>>720975013This.Dying Light 2 writing was so godamn awful I will never give anyone involved another chance
>>720983265we must be better men...
ZAMNCrane looks like THAT???
>>720975105Dying Light 2 was awful, you must be retarded
>>720983485That's literally my build except I never went to gym in my whole life
>>720983485gay
So how long until the game's out?
>>720984231Less than 3 hours
>>720980651Holy shit, based. Should I pirate DL2? Is she my gf?
>>720984396they forgot to fix her personality
It feels like this game is them being like "guys, we know that DL2 sucked but we want to apologize by going back to the roots" but we'll see how that turns out
>>720984960very much what they've marketed it as, soon we'll know if it's really a return to form
>>720974942The preload popping up for me reminded me that long ago I bought the ultimate edition of Dying Light 2. Fuck.
>>720974942i got about halfway through the first one a few years back but had to stop for life reasons. goddamn that is a fun game, i'll move it to the top of my list. judging by this thread i should avoid 2 and skip directly to 3 (if it's good)
Hear me outI don't get the hate
>>720985315It's just boring
PLEASE BE GOODPLEASE BE GOODPLEASE BE GOOD
>>720985315It's fine. Not worth 60 buckaroos fine, but worth the 20 I got it for. My gripes were mostly solved by the reloaded update, and I really like the combat and parkour. Never been a big fan of the stories of these games, as I don't think it's possible for a modern writer to make anything compelling.
Where the fuck are the reviews if this is literally out today
>>720974942They've improved the collision systems to be just like the original, which is a welcome change.
I hate the loot shit. This would be better off as a pure action game with no stats or loot.
Reviews are out at the same time the game unlocks. Why the fuck is this so common now? The reviews are out 5pm uk time which is the same time the game is out.
>>720985954Wrong
>>720985315Hate justified back on release, not in 2025. I think the setting of DL is just bland, so when your combat and parkour is worse than the first it stands out way more. Maybe the full vision Avellone had would have been nice but no way was it going to be realistically achievable by Techland.
>>720986230>Why the fuck is this so common now?because they got 1 million preorders and they know they might lose some of them if the reviews are bad
>>720985954Correct
>>720986371DL1 setting is goated, DL2 setting is woated
>>720986321I find loot stuff just tedious and boring personally. Like whats even the point of it? Its just needless numbers and stats. If I hit a zombie in the head with a pipe he should just get his head smashed. I shouldn’t have to get a level 52 pipe of ice damage or whatever the fuck or level 32 sunglasses of poison damage.
>>720976540>no gunsliterally the only good thing about the game. Guns ruined DL1 and ammo was far too common
>>720986398Why are they so unconfident in their game? The previews for the game seemed to be all very positive from everyone
>>720986487>literally the only good thing about the game.Curious as the guns made the second one way better.
>>720974942Why is it not on gog?
guns are op and using them ruins both 1 and 2
Its a bit weird how they got the most popular Chris Redfield voice actor for another big mainstream zombie franchise. Was that on purpose?
>>720977802Sauce?
>>720986857>>720986857he's lying, just check game page on steam, its clean2 HOURS PIRATE BROS
This is technically a ps4 gen game isnt it so that means it should actually run well right?
>>720986853well if he uses his giga zombie powers to punch a boulder at some point in this game, then we'll know for sure
>>720985315its a subpar sequel that feels unifinished even now with truly awful story and combat that feels 10 years behind a game like dead island 2
>>720987051R E T A R D
>>720974942So are we hopeful for this game? I loved the first one but have only clocked in 6.2 hours in the second game (a lot of that being the tutorial as well), it just really didn't click for me. Everything about it felt off, but I'm thinking of giving it a new chance.
>>720981285Do you prefer them to raise the price of the base game? Let the suckers who want the deluxe edition subsidize you.
>>720987051people who played the preview build said it run greats, 5070 is enough to get stable 60 at 1080p on medium to high details
>>720986559>Why are they so unconfident in their game?Well, I guess we will find out soon enough
>>720988359No DLSS, right? cuz it's beta
>>720985315Why the fuck doesn't the city in 2 have gas stations even? Where are these assholes getting fuel for their generators from?
>>720974942i'm excited for this game but still waiting for the reviews
>>720974942Waiting to see how woke it or is if the main ladies are bogged like in 2.
>>720987975you've embarrassed me in front of the other anons!!!!!!!!!!
>>720988808It's was 15 minutes city, you don't need gas station
>>7209879751060 bros….We are going home
>>720985315did you play the first one? it just feels boring and generic after such a masterpiece
>>720974942I thought this was just a small standalone game? is it a big game like 2?
>>720989279I live in the countryside and there is 3 gas stations 10 minutes from my house
Dying Light's original ending and story were so shit i literally don't want to touch anything from these people.Especially the dreadful QTE boss. What the fuck was that?
>>720989717It’s supposed to be a stand alone game that’s what they said that’s what it is there’s no knowledge about the game devs hardlocked the reviews until release
>>720988667there was huge benchmark, but get removed for breaking embargosumming up, blurry as fuck textures, raytracing from base game is gone, runs kind off like ass but still better than eu5 games
>>720989893Don't ever fucking reply to me again.
is this a good sign?
>>72098971720 hrs of main story and another 20 hrs for side content
>>720989995Okay.
>>720990008Lol, remember they pulled the released of the game forwards.
>>720990008getting less is somehow a good sign? why are poor niggers like this
What do we know about his zombie mode? Is it like an ult you have to charge, or something more creative?
>>720990012huh? thats l like half of dying light 2? and they want full price? fuck that
>>720990008yes it is a good thing>>720990154hey nigger, borderlands 4 made by nigger randy might be for youdisabling that setting is OBVIOUSLY better than leaving it for retards to enable it and then cry when their fps halves
>>720975105The combat was a massive step down from 1, enemies just tank everything with their massive hp bars, weapons have zero impact. Weapon types don't fucking matter anymore because sharp weapons can't cut limbs and blunt weapons can't stun so the best you get is enemies bouncing left-right after each hit. Nights are lame since you have to actively chase enemies yourself to keep the chase on, there is no horror element like they had in 1. And the "dungeons" are lame because there's like 3 variants that are just copypasted. No endgame content(maybe they fixed it since I played on release), story is ass, the whole "your choices matter" turned out to do nothing except change the world a bit(and there's no reason not to pick PKs just for the crossbow, who cares about a few extra ziplines?). Parkour is fucking great thought, combined with dynamic soundtrack and second map it made the game at least somewhat fun.
>>720987975This shit better not have denuvo
>>720990283You can't turn off that shit in BL4 because it's UE5 Lumen. Dying Light's ray tracing is not even that demanding since it doesn't use path tracing. you are poor and uneducated.
>>720990047THIS>>720989995ISNT ME PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED Thank you for responding! I thought it looked a bit too small in scope compared to 2.
>>720990352unless they're planning to add it 5 minutes before release, we're in the clear, no sign on denuvo on the steam page
>>720990008guess they didnt fix it from last gameit was shit looking, ran like shit, and created stutterone of the worse GI ray traced interpretation i saw since it just overlaped the AO and light probes and just made everything dark
>>720974942>broken absolute disaster for a year plus before it's even worth playingI'll get it for $5 in a year
i preordered :/
>>720975105Personally I found it superior because I played these games for the parkour first and foremost and DL2 blows the original out of the story after in that regard.However I do have to admit DL2 has a worse story, worse characters, and downgraded gameplay in some concepts. Most of these issues are because Avellone was autistic and insisted on dumb shit like no guns before he got canned. People whining about nights are dumb though since the first game was trivialized by getting zombie camo. You could literally walk around neck snapping a dozen volatiles in a row with immunity lol
>>720990654People used zombie camo?!
>>720990396Yeah me to, it’s just we don’t really know i’m ultimate paypig so I’ll found out regardless.
>>720975105My only complaint is some of those mini puzzles with matching the cables were not fun
>>720990735It essentially makes you invincible and trivializes the game. Let me guess, you didn't upgrade the grappling hook either?
>>720949562>everything is coming to life
Xboners that got the game for """free""" (you fell for the DL2 ultimate edition), can you download it? Everytime i choose install it kicks me back to the dashboard.
>>720990646Why would you ever preorder a digital product?
>>720990163I've heard it essentially is a rage mode you charge up through combat, and there are skills for improving it and letting you do new shit.
>>720990502It's looks like shit without RT. This is a big deal breaker for me.
>>720990951yeah the puzzles in power plants are gayi guess they were trying to alternate the game loop a little so you don't get bored of doing the same thing all the time but they are a slog
>>720991212Not gonna play without RT, simple ass.
>>720990737Yeah you're probably right. Fuck you btw don't fucking reply to me again.
>>720990163beast mode looks gayi want to be a literal who just trying to survive vulnerable to volatiles at night so i'm forced to run, not some giga nigga zombie goku
>>720991212seriously the one thing vidyas need is rtgi, fuck everything else.rtao is sometimes based if the devs really fucked up and made the object occlusion look extremely flat
it's gonna have denuvo isn't it?btw when will Routine comes out? You will think after all this time, the devs would get their shit together
is the game setting set at the same time as DL2?
>>720991097>runs worse than borderlands 4>form the article he himself fucking posted>With Techland posting some seriously heavy system requirements and Nvidia partnering once more for RTX and DLSS additions, I was concerned that Dying Light: The Beast would be joining a growing list of recent games that don't run very well on PC. Having tested the game on a broad range of hardware, I can tell you now that it's actually all finedo you not read what you yourself fucking post?
does it have denuvo then?
>>72099182760 fps with frame generation means good for journalists. That's the case here.
I have 1440p monitor + 3070ti. What setting should i do & expect FPS rate?
>>720949562Denuvo is often used for preview builds like these. Also it doesnt say its heavier then BL4 honestly kill yourself.
Didn't Kyle crane either get nuked or turn into a zombie at the end of the DLC? Why is he back now? Is it just for brand recognition?
>>720990735Nigga did you even play the fucking game bruh?
>>720992093
>>720992093he got better
>>720991382there's a billion of "normie survives zombie apocalypse" gameszombie goku sounds like a fun change of pace
>>720991382We don't care about what you like play the first game for the millionth time if you want that
>>720992093He didn't quite zombify, he got hit with that smart Volatile shit the Mother had. The Beast adds that he got experimented on for thirteen years after The Following, so I guess he somehow got better. So now he's kind of just superhuman.
>>720992770>he got experimented on for thirteen years after The FollowingWouldn't that break him
>>720975105>shit setting>shit music>stupid story>stupid characters>stupid factions>no guns>no threatening atmosphere, felt like a parkour playground>nigger love interest >e-celeb cameosdying light 2 was garbage
>>720992770>He didn't quite zombifyAnon you literally see his PoV in the ending and he was transformed coming out of the sewer.
>>720993158He got better
>>720992072The archived link didn't preserve the benchmark numbers and videos. Trust me it's worse than Borderlands 4.
>>720993158It was night. It's werewolf bullshit. The Mother behaved similarly. Sentient person (fugly volatile face aside) at day, mindless monster at night. The serum was experimental bullshit so it might've also worked a little differently on Crane for plot reasons, allowing him to keep his appearance. That or becoming and ugly volatile takes a while. And then he got experimented on for a while, so the transformation got fucked with and now we have his superhuman The Beast self. Not that complicated.
>>720992485no one cares about ssj zombie goku retard
how many hours or minutes until it launches? i was refreshing steam so much it doesnt let me access anything now
>>72099385430 minutes from now
>>720991737No, it takes place after 2
>>720993790top selling on steam
>>720993882omg thats really soon thanks for the good news bro today and the rest of the weekend is gonna be #superfun
>>720993924to be precise it takes place after the DLC in dying light 1
>>720993965based, enjoy beheading zombies anon
>>720993949what sells is the parkour/survival aspect not giga nigga hulk zombie
>>720994068coping
>>720994149you are a certified retard kek
>>720994218still coping
>>720994068This nigga ova here didn’t play Far Cry InstinctsNothing more kino than a FPS protag getting a mutant mode who just rips shit up
>>720993975DL2 is set like 20 years after The Following so yeah
https://steamdb.info/app/3008130/depots/>only 40gbbased
>>720991419rtao is shitrtgi + a decent screen space AO is enoughideally rtgi includes reflection, but if its very low sample screen space + para;a xcorrected cube maps will do
>>720994274your still retarded kek
>>720994301>Far Cry InstinctsMein niggaYeah Crane’s beast mode reminds me of that, you also have a super jump and super sprint too
>>720994525The game is called the beast kek
>>720994374some devs are better off using rtao
1050ti, our status?
>>720994670parkour is still the main aspect of the game retard kek
>>720994993sad moment>>720994301>>720994594
TEN MINUTESI REPEATTEEEEEEN MINUTESSS
>>720992093I feel like The Beast was supposed to be about Aiden, since he already has super powers, but Dying Light 2 was kind of a flop and nobody cared for the main character, so they retconned Crane back into existence and gave him superpowers too.
>>720975105It wasnt a bad game, but it was just the first one again but worse everything.The parkour was worseThe story was worseThe side characters were worseCombat was worse
8 minutes!!!!!!!!!
it’s steamdeck verified so this game will run on most pc’s
someone upload the files and drop a link after you dl it, kthx
GAME IS OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
>>720995287It started off as a DLC for 2, so surely it was going to flesh out Aiden's zombie cutscene powers.
Are the torrents out
>>720995929Yeah, I bet it was originally planned to wrap up Aiden's story in the same way that The Following wrapped up Crane's story in 1. Presumably there are still some elements of TB's story and/or setting that required it to still be set post-2 even after being reworked for Crane, I'm curious what that will be
>>720993736It was clearly daytime (or at least afternoon) when he came out of the sewer.
>>720996032give it 15-30 minutes
>ITS LIVEITS LIVE>ITS LIVEhttps://www.twitch.tv/missmikkaa
https://youtu.be/Lv3_A4OgzgY7/10 from IGN
>>720975013This. I skipped DL2 because it didn't look very good, and all the comments I've seen about it were negative. Why the fuck would anyone give them another chance to revive the IP?DL1 was only average at best, I don't know why they have so much confidence in this IP. I can only assume it's a game of 95% reused assets.
>>720989823The Following somehow had an ok plot but I'll take the original and its garbage writing over 2s any day>finally get to the center yesterday and Lawson or whatever the woman's name is kept reassuring me the leader of this survivor group is on the level and will help me>mfw he's an unhelpful belligerent faggot like every Survivor in the first area, but is also a drunk on top of it allWho the fuck doesn't go Peacekeeper in 2? Holy shit all this talk in game about them being fascists but at least they're civil dicks that didn't try to hang me in the first 30 seconds of coming to town
>>720996152Was it? I remembered it being sunset.
I'm in niggers what up
>>720975051Just sleep to change the time of dayTheres only like 3 obligatory night time missions in the game
>DL2_B_4chan_advertisement__!usefilerandomizer.jpg.jpg
who hostin?
>>720990286The dynamic soundtrack when you're doing parkour shit was nice, I'll give it that
>>720990654Wasn't camo more a late game upgrade? I didn't get it until the tail end of the second area anyway
Now that the dust has settled, how was it?
SOMEONE TELL ME IF IT'S GOOD OR NOT ALREADY. DOES IT RUN? BUGS? FUN?
I'm holding off for a sale. once any anons get in please let us know about the map size. I've seen people claim it's tiny and about as big as the old villedor half of DL2.
>>720992846If my nigga Crane had a dollar for every time he gave a fuck, he'd be broke because he don't give a fuck
>>720996670I'm getting 250fps
IM GONNA KILL PRAXIS
People keep blaming the Avellone stuff for fucking up DL2 but Avellone handles the story, and yet there's a mountain cut gameplay shitIt's like saying that just because Avellone wrote a line that says "And then Aiden drove a truck filled with automatic rocket launchers in the back and then shot them all with a revolver all while grappling and swinging like Batman" it's not like they're gonna scrap vehicles and guns and mobility etc etcIt's more like someone bonked them over the head and the entire studio got a collective amnesia or somethingAlso someone tell me what's up with Crane's spikes, I know you niggers are playing right now
>>720990008I have a 4070 Super TI, which is a pretty okay card and I don't think I have ever used Gay Tracing ever once in my life.
ngl graphics look a bit dated compared to UE5 games I usually play
>>720996453>applicationsarenowopenfaggotpretendjanny.jpg:D :D :D get fucked retard
>>720996983looks good
>no banner announcing the release on steamMan, DL2 really broke them, huh?
>>720996279so it's not gay and trans enough and is a masterpiece, then. Good enough for me!
Crane got so buck broken that he can't even stand up
>>720996983Dying Light 2's flashlight didn't cast shadows, so I assume they haven't fixed it.
i got scared for a moment then i realized it's vertical fovstop doing this shit faggot devs
>>720997090>compass THAT SHOWS LITERALLY NOTHING AND CLUTTERS YOUR VIEW>persistent dotfucking niggersnow the entire screen has been shittified and my day has been ruinedwhat was wrong with the 3D objective markers in dying light 2??????
>>720996983>dated compared to UE5 Don't care, just by the fact the game doesn't have the same generic blurry UE5 look, it's already 100x better
>>720997090wow that looks terrible graphics wise
>>720997238Calm your tits it does have immersive modeyou can't turn off most of this shit I'm only at the prologue
>>720996784What GPU and CPU?
>>720997090>>720997307Fuck, I want more Crane kino. Someone convince me not to buy this at full price.
this looks 1:1 like DL2 sadly
>>7209973547500f5090
Hows the performance
TORRENT OUT
>>720975105i didn't even like the first onenot as good as mirrors edge or dead island on their own
>>720997307wonder why that compass isn't bordering the screen unless something else goes above it?
>>720997307Has the exact same DL 2 uiIs the combat and parcour the same wonky floating shit that DL2 is?Probably righjt
>>720997596game looks good, hopefully it doesn't suck like 2
>>720975051I just turned 40 and I genuinely miss being able to get spooked and scared from vidya and movies....Winter is coming.
>>720997698The game has prologue sectionmy crane can't even run yet but hitting zombies feel good
>>720997934So the same weird ass DL2 combat meh
is hte game as open world as dl2
You can turn unnecessary uis off like this
>>720997934watching a dude on youtube go through this section, looks fine but can you do me a solid and send a screnshot of the bloody footsteps?
>>720998084based interfacemaxxing
KEK
>>720983035I slept on 1, but am playing through it now and it's amazing. The attention to detail is insane to me, almost rdr2 tier. Bought 2 for $20 and haven’t touched it yet, but I won't be surprised when it will inevitably be disappointing. Waiting to see reviews for The Beast because I don't fall for fomo hype anymore since most new AAA games are absolute dogshit.
So wait is path tracing also disabled, not just ray tracing?
>>720998138LOOOLso 50 fps at 1080p
>>720998167https://x.com/muaxh03/status/1968083614585045494They fixed the zombie physics from the 2nd game, and now it like the first with them tumbling off ledges/buildings/etc
>>720998167they remade a lot of stuff including textures and lighting
>>720998208Without RT even, lmaooooo
>>7209981672 kinda gets boring after a while the whole stats on equipment thing is boringthe weapon construction stuff that made dead island and dying light 1 cool is just a sidenote basically
They are reusing so many DL2 animations jesus christIs there a skill tree in this too?
>>720998208So just use frame gen what's the problem?
>>720975013same boat, I'm not gonna bother with this shit, 60 bucks for the chance of getting a good game? no thanks.
>>720998331Game has no rt thank god
NEW JACKFRAGShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL4a6QkzkLs
>>720998138i will literally never play a game that requires me to use FG to achieve 60+ fps
>>720996343When you do the mission of restoring radio broadcast, you can handle radio transmission to the survivors. He'll sober up and become more helpful. The only good peacekeepers either die or quit, so it doesn't feel that good to keep helping them. But yeah, nearly everyone in DL2 is a prick, since that's an easy way for shitty writers to try to create drama without writing good characters.
>they re-added stamina which they removed entirely from dying light 2fuck sake
>>720998107either there's something fucky with the lighting/the guy's rig or Crane's pants look like they're scratchy and made of kevlar, can't decide which is which but I see some stuff here seems clearer than DL2, I don't see stuttering on his game too while he's streaming
>>720982520>marketers paid to shill games say it's goodbig brain comment right there,
>>720998539they removed stamina from 2?
>>720998552RIP started getting choppy when Crane got out of the facility
>>720998651for all of parcour
Can confirm movement doesn't feel floaty as DL2
>>720998332I'm probably just going to refund it ($20), then psyop myself into buying part 3 for only $40 lol. Will still wait for a few player reviews, though.
>>720998695better than bl3
>>720998539no? you had stamina even for climbing
>>720998780yes people complained and they removed stamina for climbing and sprinting entirely
>720998768fuck off retard
>>720998208nah performance is excellentwith DLAA, its performing at literally double the performance of BL4 at badass dlss quality on my 5090
>>720998768fucking retard, compare it to borderlands 4 not e33
doesn't removing stamina break the entire game? i thought managing your stamina correctly was kind of the point?
>50 bucks>runs like borderlands 4 should have run
>>720990951>>720991224>>720998450Shit they kept the cable puzzles
>I am unpacking>I just started my wage session (from home)>actually really busy so I can't play until lunch timeyou win this round, NEETs. Game sounds promising though
so is the game fun?
>>720999021I hated those in 2
>>720999021NOOOOOO
>>720999029Do you like violence??? if so YES
>>720998928it might be fun if it was actual stamina and not an asthmatic gymnast getting into melee fights lmao
>>720999029You get guns in the first 30 min
they actually just re-used dying light 2 animationseverywherelmao 50 bucks for a mod basically
yeah aight, the performance is finejust got outside, run around in the woods for a bit~70fps on a 4070 super at native 1440p
I think grapping hook trivializes the first game and it makes it too easy.On my 2nd playthrough of Dying Light 1 I refused to use the grappling hook.
>tfw 30701080p here I come
>>720996152It was sunset anon, the woman at the playground even says something in the background like "it's getting late kids, let's go home" when you come out of the sewer
>>720998826lmao wtf
Melee in dying light 1 was a lot smootherLike cutting flesh felt like cutting butterIn this every melee game feels like a baseball
>>720999156max settings ofc if that's not obvious
>>720999175i also played it without the grappling hook and it was great
>>720999153good thing I didn't play 2 so I don't give a fuckLOL
so, what are the best weapons
Wow it actually runs wellHow about that, Randy?
>>720999338Dont tell him, hes gonna go on a tangent
I never finished the first game, should I skip 2?
>>720999367finish 1skip 2
Intro was pretty cool. Just got out into the woods 100% convinced that subject alpha is Aiden.Runs better than I was expecting on my old ass 1080
>>720999021NOOOOOOOOOOO
>>720999338the beast isn't a premium game for premium gamers
>>720999402Cant bother to finish 2 what was the ending with aiden
>>720999338looks 100x prettier too
Me own fokken son. A controller player
>>720999338>>720999360All he had to do was shut the fuck up and tell his boys to cook up a patch, even ol Tim Sweeney himself said that it was a developer's skill issue if they couldn't account for UE5 running well on various hardware. It's like Bobandy wants the Cliff Bleszinski treatment of getting cucked out of the industry
>>720999452Multiple endings.Common theme in the ones where he lives is he's still some weird infected hybrid thing and is a ticking time bomb so he left the city to go back to wandering.
>white protag>white supporting characterOH YEAH WE BACK. The libshits must be reeeeing right now.
>>720999572Ah so crane is hunting him okay
Do you guys miss Aidenbabeiden yet?
>>720975105Wasn't the guy who wrote the story "problematic"ed, so they threw out all his work, shoddily rewrote the story and changed some characters to be uglier and more diverse?
>>720999402what are the chances of giga zombie fistfight with Aiden at some point?
>>720999575this is the reason why pissgamer and ignorant gave the game 7/10
>>720999367Finish 1 skip 2
>>720999338>>720999503Another proof that Unreal Slop 5 is a piece of shit engine and the doom of the gaming industry
>>720999646always thought that was the guy from 1the voices sound so similar
>>720999575Dodged trash like MH Wilds, DD2 and Borderlands 4 this year looks like it's time to actually buy a video game.
i hope aiden is killed at the end fuck you aiden
>>720999619Could be. Aidens the only other big infected dude from the old games but it could just as likely be a new character.
>>720996670>>72099735413600K / 7900XT here, I'm getting 130fps on 1440p. No upscalers, no framegen, FSR as AA. Yeah it's fairly optimized. Melee combat is fun too. Way more fun than DL2.
>you can grappling hook around in the forest like tarzan kek
Hefty cpu requirements, but the game is, supposedly, steam deck verified. Any chance those spec recs are inflated?
>>720999760>. Melee combat is fun too. Way more fun than DL2.but its literally the same? same animations, same blocking dodging
So, are we back?
Dying light 1 parkour is fucking back
>>720999796Yep. Cranebros rejoice
>>720975013They literally fixed 2, it's amazing now, you're all just whiny faggots
>No shitnuvo>No Unreal Slop 5>No controversies so far at least>No woke shit so far at least>Runs wellI'm actually surprised
>>720999715The guy who voices Crane also voiced Ezio from Assassin's Creed.PURE KINO
Is this the Dying Light 2 we all wanted?
>>720999816Looks janky as fuck compared to dl2 tho
>>720999816>looking at shoes entire timeAutism simulator?
>>720999816Looks more like 2 floaty, slow
>>720999816looks way more fun than dl2
>>720999796we are so fucking back
>>720999887>The guy who voices Crane also voiced Ezio from Assassin's Creed.OH SHIT>50 bucks on steam>no key sitesmaaaaaaaaaan
>boot game>You HAVE to update drivers>don't>runs fineeat shit nvida I heard the crazy shit your GPT coded drivers were doing lately.
So fellas, is the light dying?
How big is the map?
>>720994984i quite remember I finished game 1 and the following dlc like 2-3 years ago?I decided to buy the game(since I pirated it) on steam and the fucking shit was stuttering like hell I had to refund it.I take it they fucked with the engine in the span of 3 years fucking me over or steam background processes are way too much compared to just playing the pirated game.either way it's over bro. time to upgrade.
>Got the game for free because I bought the bigboy version of 2 three years agocool
>>720999997
>The empty main menu changes to this after you escape the facility holy man kino
>>721000115That's really kewl
>>721000115it's their apology to you
>>720999791It plays more like DL1 than 2. Climbing animations remind me more of DL2 but combat is more like DL1. Way less filler too.
>>720974942Didn't even know about this game until today. Is this a full game like 1 and 2 or is it one of those short spinoffs?
>DL1 unaivable in germany >still got it on steamhuh, guess there's no way to get the enhanced edition then
The fact that this thread isn't shitting relentlessly on the game is enough for me to pick it up.
>>720999929>nigga never seen parkour pov vids
>>720999997https://www.skidrowcodex.net/dying-light-the-beast-tenoke/
>>721000246the map is smaller than 1 but the game is supposed to be more or less the same length
doing my job my fellow GG niggas
>>721000323ain't gonna torrent in 2025
>>721000246its supposedly a full game and the 3rd instalment but they probably didnt call it 3 because it reused a lot of assets from 1/2?
How longs the game
>>720974942game will flop lmao but make sure to watch your favorite streamer #ad it so they can make a few thousand dollars for playing it for an hour
>>721000000
>>721000323torrenting this in the big 2025
>>720999367Finish the first one and play the Following for sure. 2 is meh.
>NO YELLOW PAINT>NO DEI BULLSHIT>RUNS PERFECTLY FINEin this economy?
>>721000241They even fixed the shit color palette from DL2. OH YEAH BOYS KINO TIME. One thing I wish they brought over DL2 was the score especially the main theme. That was perfection.
Map looks big
>>721000168>>721000348the gofile links are really fast, maxing out my net atm.
>>721000470>same dl2 inventory>stats on equipmentMehhhhhh
why europe got so many cliffs?

>>720999910>>720999929>>720999935>>720999949It's good to be back really
>>721000428>charttard didn't even look at his charts before postingUH OH RETARDLOL
>>721000470>armor system is backworries me because of how lame it was in 2
>here's your female character bro
>>720974942Why is the 2nd one cheaper than the 1st? I picked it up to try it, but I think I've tried it before and didn't like it
>>721000530>stats on equipmentSo just like first game then?
>>721000568I have to use a VPN
>>721000586that ending kek, jumpscare irl?
>The Following ending referencedWell there's that. Nuke ending isn't the ending
If its like 2, craft hundreds of throwing knives which one shot normal zombs and 3-4 specials
>>721000626i remember than in the following there was an npc with a nice ass but I can't remember where
is the sound still tinny?
Where the fuck is this?
I'm watching forsen struggling on the first boss.
>>721000626continuing the tradition https://youtu.be/FL3kcZh5IaQ?t=7
>>721000919Austria
>>721000919Eastern europe probably
Was this the game that was supposed to be DLC to the previous one?
>>721000919The Alps. Probably Northern Italy or Switzerland or Austria.
>>721000496Yeah I just got the map. It looks almost big enough to be DL3 and not an expansion pack to DL2.
>jacob from dl2
Class of Heroes 3 remaster released today but I gotta play this first. What the FUCK are you doing, PQube?
>>721000715obviously
You can really fuck zombies upreminds me of Dead Island 2
>>721000626>attractive female characters are allowed again in western gamesgaming is healing.
>>721001075? Dying light 2 introduced this
>>720974942>still looks like a cartoon>still doesn't look anywhere near as good as the 2018 e3 trailer
>>721001075Awwwww, he's smiling!
Can I play this with a ryzen 5 3600 and a 4070?
>>721001160>>still looks like a cartoon>still runs better than bl4
>>721001118I guess WW3 will happen soon lol
>>721001185yea no prob
>>721001118some girl zombies got titties hanging out too
>>721001118
>>720996836kek first thing I thought of too.
>>721001075that looks like the AC Unity guy
>>721001118>gaming is healingwomen shouldn't (and wouldn't) be in this sort of position at all in a post-apoc world but yeah because she's white, you're ok with it
>>721001251Thx bro
>>721001185no sweat, i'm over 70fps avg on 4070 super @1440p
>>721001074There was a chunk of the playerbase who saw that newspaper from 2 and deduced it to be the ending, then The Beast got announced and some people thought it was an Invisible War scenario where both endings were true at once, then there's the Following haters who believed that the expansion was non canon and Crane got captured after the events of DL1 and that's why the BR story existed because they needed to inject Crane with more AIDSthere's also the whole "Crane's arms are magma" thing where some diehard fans believed he fucking tanked a nuke somehow
>>721001075
>>721001430>t. Seething Abdul
>>720975105Map sucked, story sucked, zombie combat sucked, night time sucked, parkour was too floaty, Aiden was a less fun protag. The game was just a step down in a lot of areas.
>>721001118they always were. this isnt made by Amerigoys
>>721001406
is it funor will the devs have to put out an enhanced version on a year or two to fix the game
>>721001580The love interest in 2 was a black gypo
>>721001075DI2s gore will never be topped
>>721001430It’s because she’s attractive, you nitwit. And yes, if you want a female in any sort of meaningful position you need to at minimum make her hot.
>>721001621so far it seems more like an actual sequel to DL+dlc than DL2 was lol
>Game is outSo what's the verdict so far, good like 1 and The Following or mediocre like 2?
>>721001654The fact that they let a gypsy inside a sanctuary city is baffling to me. Even when they got the entire population vaccinated for the Harran strain and they believed the coast was clear, I refuse to believe they'd let her parents in
>>721001662It was p great
>>721001810best gore system in a videogame
>>721001075What is that facial expression conveying?
Cracked status
>>721001718yeah it's aight
>>721001718I haven't played the game yet but the 78/100 metacritic sounds about right for this one.
WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK
>>721001883The beloved first game is 74 btwscores are meaning less for dying light games
>>721001915are we
>>721001810I'm still really surprised Dead Island 2 ended up being good despite being in dev hell for a decade.
>>720974942Why does it looks like Phantom Pain? Is every game gonna look the same in future?
are 581.29 nvidia drivers stable for this game
>>721001929The QTE final boss alone drops that a .5
>>721001929Yes and 74/100 is pretty spot on for DL1.
>>721001929Professional scores, even aggregates, still mean nothing because it's by "reviewers"
So is itr good like DL1 or complete dogshit combat like DL2?
should i get it? it's good after all?
>>721002112its got the dl2 combat
Fun fact: Kyle’s “Beast mode” isn’t brought on by any sort of experimentation or infection, He’s simply displaying the behaviors of an average Chicago native.
>>721002131torrents are up
>16h game>60 bucksLMAO
>>721002215>average Chicago human interaction
>its another Shepard main character
>>720998414it has, but the disabled it since game was crashingthey supposed to enable it back on upcoming days
>>721002382we'll bang ok
>>721002382He's a giga incel chad
>>721001718I'm loving it so far. Beast mode is a lot of fun. Reminds me of the superhero powers from Saints Row. Outside of Beast Mode, early levels on standard difficulty and it's hard to survive. Anymore than one zombie is tough to take down. And the combat is so satisfying.
>>721002078Crane telling Rais to just shut the fuck up during his monologue was kino though and bumps it up .3 points.
>>721002503is there a story mode? i hate chopping up zombies for 30+ hits
>>721002382
Ok i bought itDownloading
>>721002503>Anymore than one zombie is tough to take downNice, I liked how in DL1 Crane starts out weak as fuck. Makes getting stronger actually satisfying and like you're really growing.
So... are there guns?
>>721002807makes 0 sense though since crane here is a super human
does the game include the dropkick and is it as good as the first game?
>>721002503>Outside of Beast Mode, early levels on standard difficulty and it's hard to survive.The sounds exactly like how DL1 and 2 did it. You were actually scared of hordes and multiple
>>721002912>2
>>721002868Nigga he got experimented on for 13 years he can't even stand during the prologue
>>721000968Yes
>>721002868if you strap a chad to a chair and shove needles the size of harpoons up his ass for at least 9 years, he's gonna lose a bit of that edge and that muscle
>>721002946Pretty sure I remembered 2 having that super weak early game.Probably not as weak as 1 but still.
>>721002862the preorder bonus gives you a pistol so there are guns i guess
>>721002272here's your (you), you are awful at this.
please wait for me guysi have yet to install the newest gpu drivers too

zombie tits are in
oh no no no bros we got too cocky and I'm outside of the 2 hour window to refund it
>>721002907there's a dropkick not sure if its like the first game's since i played that over 5 years ago
>>721003401okay, I laughed

>>721003717okay, you wait and I will play today
parkour is better than 1combat is not better than dl2
>>721003364Wow, necrophile approved game I guess.

>>720980651>It's realHoly fuck, I might need to replay Dying Light 2. Shame she still looks like her original design in the ending cutscene.
>>721005591she looks good irl but something was off about her face in-game, she looks kinda boggedweird how it only happens when they're scanning attractive women while scanned men look 1:1 like they do irl or better
>>721005785This, it is weird though because there were some cute girls in Dying Light 2. But for some reason her model looked off despite being the main love interest of the game.
