I really agreed with you about the atmosphere change. Chris's dying light 2 ambients is alot better than current version because right now it's somehow look like rip-off cliche version of The last of us but that modern dark age vibe is like the whole new genre and very unique
I recently did a playthrough with 2 of my friends, the 3 of us had so much fun, the bugs made it really funny and we liked how the story had very little "black and white" moments, as most choices were a morally grey decision, and we love that, we had a blast and hoping for more
thought I was watching a vid from someone with like 100k subs. only realised otherwise when I looked at ur channel. great video dude! I agree about the updates but there's a lot that's been rushed, too. ppl were begging for ages for volatiles to be added to the surface but now they are... their AI is shit, they spawn too often, too randomly, and too close together (and to the player) and make the night more of an inconvenience to be avoided than tensely explored
i feel like why there is so much disappointment with the story and world of dying light 2 is that everyone was talking about that techland got Chris Avellone and he is the lead writer for alpha protocol and wrote some dlc's for fallout NV. Now after Avellone and techland parted ways they had to scramble to remove much of Avellone work to avoid the media if the allogations turned out to be true. So we ended up with a half baked mediocre story with a pretty cool world, though we will always ask, what if, imagine how amazing that would be? do check out alpha protocol, its a mess of a game, but the story and choices are stellar
I really enjoy the parkour and while the combat leaves a lot to be desired, I ultimately felt burned because of how boring and copy-pasted the world was. It was like they procedurally generated the entire map which was easily felt coming from Harran.
IMO Dying Light 2 is just not the same game as Dying Light 1. They started from the ground up instead of just building on top of the amazing systems they already had. They choose animation over physics for DL2 and it really really shows.
To all those who are still hesitant, just don't buy it. U bought it a week ago, and I have been trying to force myself to play. The Definitive Edition of DYING LIGHT is still better in atnosphere, mechanics and immersion
id say the mechanics in terms of gameplay and animation and parkour are better in DL2 but youre not wrong, the atmosphere of the first Dying Light is unbeatable.
@@chickenmayo00 I just don't get any feeling when using melee weapon, not genuine weight nor animation. Everything feels shallow. It is quite simiñar to an arcade game in terms of the lack of weight of your hits. I guess I also miss the gunplay Parkour wise , I don't know, it feels to scripted. Sacrificed the feeling of speed and freedom over a more slow paced parkour. But that's just my opinion.😊
Yeah I was wondering what happened after Avalon left. I have a strong feeling the development was layed on ice. Plus it seems to me that no one in Techland is inspired or has imagination. Those two "facts" explain the poor ending and all the cooy and paste which takes out of the immersion. By now it's apparent that the team that made Dying Light 2 is not the same that made Dying Light. Dying light ooses imagination, love for detail, inspiration galore. The graphics are sort of neutral and realistic. Dying Light 2 suffers from a distinct graphical handwriting. You can tell they ran out of time and just shoestered it together. The hype for Dying Light 2 was so incredibly immense because Dying Light was so good. Plus the yummy E3 videos sparked our imagination. I had tons of fantasies where I roam the game's world and and discover sectets and hidden rooms, apartments. Turns out the interiour are too much the same. Plus the graphic's handwriting hurts the imersion. Same dusty folders everywhere. I was hoping we would be getting a second game like DLC like The Following. Something called: Beyond The Walls. But I doubt it now. We'll just get new weapons some bandates. I heard we will be getting a Elisyum "map" which is probably not even connected to the map in the game.
They really need to improve the atmosphere of the game, it's the only thing keeping players on dl1 since dl2 has better gameplay in most aspects. The biggest issue imo is the size of Harran compared to Villedor, Harran was massive with skyscrapers and giant apartment buildings towering over the actual playable area, dl2 on the other hand has a much bigger playable map but a much smaller city with only a couple apartment buildings seen in the distance, the city makes absolutely no sense since it is very small but has multiple skyscrapers and huge office buildings, right next to giant mountains which is striking considering how filled out the background was in the 2019 demo with a very similar map layout. The hud and ui look very arcadey and need to be reworked, hud could be simplified which would be easy to do considering modders have done so already and the ui could be made into something like sons of the forest where you would pull out a backpack or something similar with 1 simple animation, there would be props placed on this backpack that would open different submenus (weapon for equipment, etc.) covering a small part of the screen when clicked on allowing for the game to run in the background on higher difficulties like dl1, once a submenu is opened via interaction with one of the props, text would appear above the menu in a simple, non-intrusive manner for easy switching between tabs without having to click on the props again.
Finally someone mentioning the Chris Avellone nonsense that got him booted. The plan for the story was supposed to be choices and consequences. Which would have made the story much more enjoyable and replayable but the choices you have here are lacking af
I think guns are fun but they definitely break the game. In DL1 after you get a shotgun the game was a cakewalk. But I agree fun is a big aspect of Dying Light series.
Honestly dawg dying light 1 traumatized me with night time stuff even tho i have pretty good natural night vision seeing the volitile for the first time scarred me (Im 29 playing dying light 2 compared to 21 year old me playing 1)
I think the most major disappointment for me was the missing narrative Chris Avellone had developed for the game. The majority of the content they removed had been aligned to his work and his narrative and it all tied in so well. I do not blame the developers for the game's state, but rather those who are in charge of the development. We clearly can see the quality of the developers from E3 Dying Light 2. Sadly I bought the collector's edition of the game without knowing its current state. I'm hoping the last upcoming DLC this year will hit home run, otherwise I will have lost most hope for Techland. They are making a fantasy game as of now which is interesting.
They need to add different looking weapon mods and make more of environmental parkour like there’s the cut slide down bar thing they should also make the zombie count at night how it is at 13:40 in the video
The problem with higher zombie count is that it cost performance and I mean A LOT. Pretty much only reason I don't play this game on hard is because on hard diffuculties zombie count is increasing and that couses my gpu to heat up. Also think about the consoles they will definetly won't run the game on stable frames if that happens
@@kozmoz267 I only play on console and never ran into performance issues the Xbox one should be being left behind soon so I other than pc and idk about PlayStation or series S but it works fine and I run hard and don’t notice an increase in zombies
@@Chunk757 I have a copy of the game both on my ps5 and on my pc and I am ceartain that there is an increase in zombies on both. Maybe they disabled increasing of zombies on ps4 and xbox one for performance.
The map itself feels very copy-pasted after a while, idk how long you've played but after 700 hours its all the same barebones interiors followed by the occasional monkey bar or plywood squeeze. I'd also say it feels like there's maybe 4 different biter appearances and they often have many duplicates in the same group which is just jarring and lazy.
Dying Light 1 is my all time favorite game cause of the open world night time and everything. Love that game so much it has a special place in my heart Dying Light 2 tho....I'm just disappointed with the game but tho the game is getting better with the updates
yo doood,if you like the parkour in the older ac games you rly should give unity a try,that one has the best parkour out of them all by a mile,also mirage has had some improements to the parkour also
hope u enjoy it bro👍i didnt mention the story in the video because its beyond mediocre and doesn’t really matter. Most people like dying light for the gameplay either way🤷♂️
I've been playing for the last few months and am suffering from DL2 fatigue. Apart from the main quests and certain side quests there's way too much copy paste stuff reminding of Ubisoft games. Loved the first one but here I'm just wondering if I should just do the main story and grind minimally. I have around 100 hours in it.
As someone who occasionally does parkour as a hobby. (I'm not good) I just wish the parkour rolls were more realistic. Kyle/Aiden only does the roll when you jump down from somewhere that is unrealistically high. I wish you could also roll from smaller jumps because it would look more real
i'm real glad that Dying light isn't getting the same Treatment as cyberpunk for older gen consoles. Cyberpunk 1.5 sucks ass on ps4 And dying light 2? it doesn't. Its awasome. even tho the game has the Blurry pixels like RDR2 but its still great.
i bought pre order deluxe edition on november of 2021 and it give me mine pre order outfit from i waited a year, that's look strange on Techland Don't give outfit on release, yeah ik it can be just steam bug, but i not seen pre order pack on the DLC's, it give me game on november of 2023 that's not good, but i think DL 2 was a good project but still miss about Kyle Crane, maybe on next DLC 2 we'll seen him again or maybe we got other infected from DL 1
I don’t understand how people hate the story. Unless they changed it before I just played it lol I thought it was really good, and I was engaged in the main story the entire way. It just felt too short. Left me wanting more
People hate everything about retail DL2 because you should see E3 content and 200 page of cut content. The story and the map was supposed to be even 100x better than DL1 or DL2 Retail map.
@@badr.4558 The big difference is I didn't hate everyone on DL1. In DL2 I want to machine gun the companions I'm forced to do missions with. I just hate them. I stopped playing because I didn't want to do missions with some of the factions.
@@badr.4558 I had fun in DL1. I've played it a couple times. I didn't make it through DL2 even once. It was just so dull. The satisfying kills from DL1 were gone. Nighttime wasn't as fun. Loot wasn't very good. Even though the story in DL1 wasn't that great, the gameplay loop was fun. DL2 was just dumbed down. It's like fallout 4 and starfield, toned down to the point of boredom.
i forget this thing even exists evem though i bought it i never played it i did loved the first one but the second just couldn't grab me i may check it now see if they fix all the issues they had in the beginning
Dying light 2 now isnt a bad game dont get me wrong, it just was better before. completely ignoring avellone's work, we can see that dying light 2 is alright, not a horrible game at all it can still be fun. its just that we keep looking back. also one thing to note, keep an eye out for E3 Definitive mod which brings back E3 2019 the best they can.
So far the best video showing techlands shit decisions of removing elysium and the map design the game is bland and empty right now there is no flash light in co op or UV light and the flashlight is not realistic like dl1 in dl2 it feels like the flash light is stuck in ur eyes
I'm keeping my expectations low given a lot of people saying negative things here and there about DL2. I just finished the first Dying Light campaign and the following, still finishing all the the side quests. But I don't have wifi right now just mobile hotspot so i can't update it from 1.00 version to 1.43 because the size of the update file is over 30GB and i only get a couple gigs of data each month. I really want to update first before really playing but Do you think I can get a playthrough without any game breaking glitches if i cannot ever get it updated?
my play through of it at launch was surprisingly polished and never broke, but i know a LOT of people had problems, if you can get it cheap it might be worth it
you have dying light 2 at 1.00?? How? Are you aware that version is very rare if you have it as disc? Don't upgrade the version because that launch 1.00 is really good and is actually sought after by modders because of the stuff Techland removed and updated, if you can can you record some footage of 1.00 to youtube?
@@singharajusai Yes I have had it just sitting here because I was scared to try playing it without updates or anything. But I will say I have played as far as the getting to the Bazaar Merchant stores and he has been playing fine. But if you say it is ok to play this way, and a lot of people miss some of the stuff taken out by updates I will try a playthrough. And sure I can upload a video, it will take awhile though lol I am out of mobile hotspot data til next month. But I can probly make like a 1hour video of solid gameplay. But yeah I have Dying Light 2 on disc original from Game Dude my local Retro game shop that has great stuff in North Hollywood CA. It is right down the street from me, some RUclips gamers have done some cool videos reviewing Game Dude. I am going to go buy Days Gone tommorow and give it a try, I heard good things
@@ganj9217 You really should try recording that dying light 2 1.00 and post it to youtube, there's not that many footage out there and if there are they're not that good since they just show limited stuff like chases but not the actual gameplays like story mode and combat, also I subscribed to you you really should record the gameplay
such a strange feeling, as if the game was released only yesterday, these are indescribable emotions at the first launch, this game has gone through so much, a lot of changes in release dates, shit and drama in the Dying Light 2 community due to the problems of Denuvo at that time, people now do not really like the release, saying that e3 2019 was much better. How many cool beta tests and alpha versions and concepts of Dying Light 2, Techland has gone through so much, but.. for me, the game remains a masterpiece, despite those bugs during the release, with each new patch the game only got better, the Dying Light 2 community is especially talented, how many cool mods the community of this game has released. I will never be able to convey those feelings when I first launched and bought Dying Light 2, I am very glad that the game is over now, and I have brought myself to the end for such a long way, I love Dying Light 2, I love its community, I love Techland for this work of long, but beautiful and finished art.
@@sillygoofymarrannot everyone has the eame taste for some yeah it is and others no i aldo believe it is not a masterpiece but with proper updates i see this game in the long run being a gem and a masterpiece
Are you playing this game on pc? The amount of zombies that are roaming in the map looks plentiful in your gameplay, but when compared to Xbox series X it’s kinda scarce
So.... am I just playing it wrong? because one of my least favorite things is how the areas are set up for parkour, its like they just threw a bunch of crap down and hoped it worked, you can be flowing and 99% of the time you come across an impossible gap or an area thats a roof top dead end due to a wide open area, DL1 I rarely ever had this issue... I came back to it and was liking the new changes, but I can't get pass how tedious everything feels, I want to love the game like I did DL1 but its just not there :/
I have a feeling that, once the rennaisance team (the people that are bringing back the Elysium) finally release the map to the public, we will finally realize why techland completely scrapped the Elysium.
ıf you're on pc you should wait for e3 definitive and renaissance mods because E3 definitive restores e3 2019 version and Renaissance restores E3 2018 map
I got DL2 when it released, then stopped playing in the middle of my 2nd playthrough. I started playing DL2 with a friend about 2 months ago. The changes that have been brought to DL2 have made the game so dam fun and funny!!
because the release was a finished product regardless of how broken it was, I didn’t give it that title, it earned that title when it released. Also not sure what bugs you’re experiencing because a lot of things have been fixed for me. DL1 still better tho>>>>

Don't you dare label the women who self-admittedly attempted to defame and destroy Chris' life and professional reputation as victims. They are not victims. Chris is the sole victim in that whole situation. How do you go from saying that he was proven innocent, to saying 'victims' as though he is definitively guilty in the very next sentence? As a result of their maliciously motivated actions, we were robbed of the sequel we dreamed of, and the game that Techland wanted to deliver.
@@chickenmayo00 Okay, it just irks me a little bit when people use 'victim' as a synonym for 'accuser', that's all. I enjoyed the rest of the video for it's worth.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s it was called Free Funning/Freestyle Running and now it’s called Parkour? I’ll stick to Free Runners. Parkour sounds weird.
I went back and played it after a year and stopped playing. The world is too repetitive, GRE locations are mostly the same, buildings all look the same, side quest are stupid. This needs and expansion where they fix the open world area, perhaps they should add a similar expansion like they did with dying light, like an outside open area not a city.
I hate that Avellone was immediately condemned and lost his job before any semblance of due process, and then even after he's found innocent, cowardly RUclipsrs barely acknowledge it because they might p!$$ off some feminist, and instead we get garbage like, "none of us can really know what happened."
im not trying to not piss off any feminist, its a sensitive subject that can make certain people even victims feel a type of way. Therefore I dont pick aside as to respect anyone. Sorry if it made you feel a sort of way.
Don't think I'll ever enjoy this game. DL1 was great because it was SO simple. The entire looter shooter random stat RPG leveled enemies BS is already so off putting in DL2
i think both games are extremely simple and similar tbh, the massive differences is really the zombie density and horror of the game that was really good in the first one but not as good here
La denuncia era falsa era inocente pero perdió su trabajo y carrera por culpa de eso .... Que asco y gracias a ello este juego fue la basura en la que se convirtio
idk how they can have failed at this point with this game specially with the fundation they built with the first game. this is for me the most disappointing game of the last 10 years, especially after having played 1300 hours in DL1

So we ended up with a half baked mediocre story with a pretty cool world, though we will always ask, what if, imagine how amazing that would be?
do check out alpha protocol, its a mess of a game, but the story and choices are stellar
I actually love the environment of Dying Light 2. There's so much to interact with to parkour through.
You would've love it if even more if it was in E3 version :(
@@weplo1597 I thought we already surpass that in terms of gameplay? Well not story. Need that fix as DLC or sequel tho not recommend doing this early
@@swagit4174 Nah E3 does have alot of stuff that retail don't. You can check 200 page of cut content document
@@swagit4174 Not really 200 page of cut content. Gameplay is better in e3
@@weplo1597 damn. Long road up ahead cause we're not stopping now
I really enjoy the parkour and while the combat leaves a lot to be desired, I ultimately felt burned because of how boring and copy-pasted the world was. It was like they procedurally generated the entire map which was easily felt coming from Harran.
they actually did use a world generator tool and then just filled in the gaps of the stuff that was broken, hence why so many areas are copy pasted
IMO Dying Light 2 is just not the same game as Dying Light 1. They started from the ground up instead of just building on top of the amazing systems they already had. They choose animation over physics for DL2 and it really really shows.
at launch the animations were horrible but physicality has taken a deep change in the past updates
To all those who are still hesitant, just don't buy it.
U bought it a week ago, and I have been trying to force myself to play. The Definitive Edition of DYING LIGHT is still better in atnosphere, mechanics and immersion
id say the mechanics in terms of gameplay and animation and parkour are better in DL2 but youre not wrong, the atmosphere of the first Dying Light is unbeatable.
@@chickenmayo00 I just don't get any feeling when using melee weapon, not genuine weight nor animation. Everything feels shallow. It is quite simiñar to an arcade game in terms of the lack of weight of your hits.
I guess I also miss the gunplay
Parkour wise , I don't know, it feels to scripted. Sacrificed the feeling of speed and freedom over a more slow paced parkour.
But that's just my opinion.😊
@@DisturbiaMundi yeah i feel u man, and dont worry ur opinion is validated bro
Yeah I was wondering what happened after Avalon left. I have a strong feeling the development was layed on ice. Plus it seems to me that no one in Techland is inspired or has imagination. Those two "facts" explain the poor ending and all the cooy and paste which takes out of the immersion.
By now it's apparent that the team that made Dying Light 2 is not the same that made Dying Light. Dying light ooses imagination, love for detail, inspiration galore. The graphics are sort of neutral and realistic. Dying Light 2 suffers from a distinct graphical handwriting. You can tell they ran out of time and just shoestered it together.
The hype for Dying Light 2 was so incredibly immense because Dying Light was so good. Plus the yummy E3 videos sparked our imagination. I had tons of fantasies where I roam the game's world and and discover sectets and hidden rooms, apartments. Turns out the interiour are too much the same. Plus the graphic's handwriting hurts the imersion. Same dusty folders everywhere.
I was hoping we would be getting a second game like DLC like The Following. Something called: Beyond The Walls. But I doubt it now. We'll just get new weapons some bandates. I heard we will be getting a Elisyum "map" which is probably not even connected to the map in the game.
It's been 2 years??? no..... i refuse to belive that
They really need to improve the atmosphere of the game, it's the only thing keeping players on dl1 since dl2 has better gameplay in most aspects. The biggest issue imo is the size of Harran compared to Villedor, Harran was massive with skyscrapers and giant apartment buildings towering over the actual playable area, dl2 on the other hand has a much bigger playable map but a much smaller city with only a couple apartment buildings seen in the distance, the city makes absolutely no sense since it is very small but has multiple skyscrapers and huge office buildings, right next to giant mountains which is striking considering how filled out the background was in the 2019 demo with a very similar map layout. The hud and ui look very arcadey and need to be reworked, hud could be simplified which would be easy to do considering modders have done so already and the ui could be made into something like sons of the forest where you would pull out a backpack or something similar with 1 simple animation, there would be props placed on this backpack that would open different submenus (weapon for equipment, etc.) covering a small part of the screen when clicked on allowing for the game to run in the background on higher difficulties like dl1, once a submenu is opened via interaction with one of the props, text would appear above the menu in a simple, non-intrusive manner for easy switching between tabs without having to click on the props again.
Finally someone mentioning the Chris Avellone nonsense that got him booted. The plan for the story was supposed to be choices and consequences. Which would have made the story much more enjoyable and replayable but the choices you have here are lacking af
I think guns are fun but they definitely break the game. In DL1 after you get a shotgun the game was a cakewalk. But I agree fun is a big aspect of Dying Light series.
I'm really enjoying this game right now. Parkour and combat is so fun
Honestly dawg dying light 1 traumatized me with night time stuff even tho i have pretty good natural night vision seeing the volitile for the first time scarred me
(Im 29 playing dying light 2 compared to 21 year old me playing 1)
I think the most major disappointment for me was the missing narrative Chris Avellone had developed for the game. The majority of the content they removed had been aligned to his work and his narrative and it all tied in so well. I do not blame the developers for the game's state, but rather those who are in charge of the development. We clearly can see the quality of the developers from E3 Dying Light 2. Sadly I bought the collector's edition of the game without knowing its current state. I'm hoping the last upcoming DLC this year will hit home run, otherwise I will have lost most hope for Techland. They are making a fantasy game as of now which is interesting.
i have a very small amount of hope that the next DLC is perfect, if it isnt i just might drop the game completely.
You care about what others might like and not just yourself ! Rare trait...don't lose it
Should’ve known the persona 5 soundtrack would be great background music for just parkouring around the city
persona 5 soundtrack perfect for everything
True
Love how Mario kart theme music is playing in the background
They need to add different looking weapon mods and make more of environmental parkour like there’s the cut slide down bar thing they should also make the zombie count at night how it is at 13:40 in the video
yes i used mods to maximize the density and i would love it if the vanilla game had a high density as well
The problem with higher zombie count is that it cost performance and I mean A LOT. Pretty much only reason I don't play this game on hard is because on hard diffuculties zombie count is increasing and that couses my gpu to heat up. Also think about the consoles they will definetly won't run the game on stable frames if that happens
@@kozmoz267 I only play on console and never ran into performance issues the Xbox one should be being left behind soon so I other than pc and idk about PlayStation or series S but it works fine and I run hard and don’t notice an increase in zombies
@@Chunk757 I have a copy of the game both on my ps5 and on my pc and I am ceartain that there is an increase in zombies on both. Maybe they disabled increasing of zombies on ps4 and xbox one for performance.
Dying light 3: they sell themselves to tencent
💀
The map itself feels very copy-pasted after a while, idk how long you've played but after 700 hours its all the same barebones interiors followed by the occasional monkey bar or plywood squeeze. I'd also say it feels like there's maybe 4 different biter appearances and they often have many duplicates in the same group which is just jarring and lazy.
bro how did u reach 700 hours?😭
@@chickenmayo00 Mental illness perhaps idk
Dying Light 1 is my all time favorite game cause of the open world night time and everything.
Love that game so much it has a special place in my heart
Dying Light 2 tho....I'm just disappointed with the game but tho the game is getting better with the updates
yo doood,if you like the parkour in the older ac games you rly should give unity a try,that one has the best parkour out of them all by a mile,also mirage has had some improements to the parkour also
Pretty chill video, really enjoyed it.
Amazing vid dude keep up the good work I’m just getting my hands on this a couple days ago I hope I have fun with it😁
hope u enjoy it bro👍i didnt mention the story in the video because its beyond mediocre and doesn’t really matter. Most people like dying light for the gameplay either way🤷♂️
Let's just say the game is still mid at best. I can't comprehend how they could fuck this game up so much
I love the way bro pronounces Elyseum lol
Bro got my favorite mario kart music from the wii
I've been playing for the last few months and am suffering from DL2 fatigue. Apart from the main quests and certain side quests there's way too much copy paste stuff reminding of Ubisoft games. Loved the first one but here I'm just wondering if I should just do the main story and grind minimally. I have around 100 hours in it.
the story isn’t rly worth much completing in my opinion, try to find something fun to do and if not then its time to let it go😭
nice ahh video. I like the music and the structure
As someone who occasionally does parkour as a hobby. (I'm not good) I just wish the parkour rolls were more realistic. Kyle/Aiden only does the roll when you jump down from somewhere that is unrealistically high. I wish you could also roll from smaller jumps because it would look more real
Was supposed to be a gritty game, turns out it was a silly game
i'm real glad that Dying light isn't getting the same Treatment as cyberpunk for older gen consoles.
Cyberpunk 1.5 sucks ass on ps4 And dying light 2? it doesn't. Its awasome. even tho the game has the Blurry pixels like RDR2 but its still great.
i bought pre order deluxe edition on november of 2021 and it give me mine pre order outfit from i waited a year, that's look strange on Techland Don't give outfit on release, yeah ik it can be just steam bug, but i not seen pre order pack on the DLC's, it give me game on november of 2023 that's not good, but i think DL 2 was a good project but still miss about Kyle Crane, maybe on next DLC 2 we'll seen him again or maybe we got other infected from DL 1
We lost the real dying light 2 because of 2 unloved woman, it hurts.
I don’t understand how people hate the story. Unless they changed it before I just played it lol I thought it was really good, and I was engaged in the main story the entire way. It just felt too short. Left me wanting more
People hate everything about retail DL2 because you should see E3 content and 200 page of cut content. The story and the map was supposed to be even 100x better than DL1 or DL2 Retail map.
Dl1 clears . Better story,map,enemies, characters and scarier
Keep coping, kid, characters, enemies weren't that better and it wasn't scarier. I swear you americans are scared by everything
Both storys are dog water
@@badr.4558 The big difference is I didn't hate everyone on DL1. In DL2 I want to machine gun the companions I'm forced to do missions with. I just hate them. I stopped playing because I didn't want to do missions with some of the factions.
@quademasters249 still both storys are dog water plus hakon is a good character like in dl1 like rahim and others some lovable char
@@badr.4558 I had fun in DL1. I've played it a couple times. I didn't make it through DL2 even once. It was just so dull. The satisfying kills from DL1 were gone. Nighttime wasn't as fun. Loot wasn't very good.
Even though the story in DL1 wasn't that great, the gameplay loop was fun. DL2 was just dumbed down. It's like fallout 4 and starfield, toned down to the point of boredom.
No guns in dl2 is a huge negative. Its a zombie game of course it should have it .
I honestly feel like the game is great now. The story is not the best, but everything else is awesome.
i forget this thing even exists evem though i bought it i never played it i did loved the first one but the second just couldn't grab me i may check it now see if they fix all the issues they had in the beginning
Same. I keep wanting to go back and play it but when I do the same problems crop up and I quickly quit.
Crazy how you only got 370 subs with this quality of video
i appreciate it bro😭🙏
Dying light 2 now isnt a bad game dont get me wrong, it just was better before. completely ignoring avellone's work, we can see that dying light 2 is alright, not a horrible game at all it can still be fun. its just that we keep looking back. also one thing to note, keep an eye out for E3 Definitive mod which brings back E3 2019 the best they can.
So far the best video showing techlands shit decisions of removing elysium and the map design the game is bland and empty right now there is no flash light in co op or UV light and the flashlight is not realistic like dl1 in dl2 it feels like the flash light is stuck in ur eyes
I'm keeping my expectations low given a lot of people saying negative things here and there about DL2. I just finished the first Dying Light campaign and the following, still finishing all the the side quests. But I don't have wifi right now just mobile hotspot so i can't update it from 1.00 version to 1.43 because the size of the update file is over 30GB and i only get a couple gigs of data each month. I really want to update first before really playing but Do you think I can get a playthrough without any game breaking glitches if i cannot ever get it updated?
my play through of it at launch was surprisingly polished and never broke, but i know a LOT of people had problems, if you can get it cheap it might be worth it
you have dying light 2 at 1.00?? How? Are you aware that version is very rare if you have it as disc? Don't upgrade the version because that launch 1.00 is really good and is actually sought after by modders because of the stuff Techland removed and updated, if you can can you record some footage of 1.00 to youtube?
@@singharajusai Yes I have had it just sitting here because I was scared to try playing it without updates or anything. But I will say I have played as far as the getting to the Bazaar Merchant stores and he has been playing fine. But if you say it is ok to play this way, and a lot of people miss some of the stuff taken out by updates I will try a playthrough. And sure I can upload a video, it will take awhile though lol I am out of mobile hotspot data til next month. But I can probly make like a 1hour video of solid gameplay. But yeah I have Dying Light 2 on disc original from Game Dude my local Retro game shop that has great stuff in North Hollywood CA. It is right down the street from me, some RUclips gamers have done some cool videos reviewing Game Dude. I am going to go buy Days Gone tommorow and give it a try, I heard good things
@@ganj9217 You really should try recording that dying light 2 1.00 and post it to youtube, there's not that many footage out there and if there are they're not that good since they just show limited stuff like chases but not the actual gameplays like story mode and combat, also I subscribed to you you really should record the gameplay

such a strange feeling, as if the game was released only yesterday, these are indescribable emotions at the first launch, this game has gone through so much, a lot of changes in release dates, shit and drama in the Dying Light 2 community due to the problems of Denuvo at that time, people now do not really like the release, saying that e3 2019 was much better. How many cool beta tests and alpha versions and concepts of Dying Light 2, Techland has gone through so much, but.. for me, the game remains a masterpiece, despite those bugs during the release, with each new patch the game only got better, the Dying Light 2 community is especially talented, how many cool mods the community of this game has released. I will never be able to convey those feelings when I first launched and bought Dying Light 2, I am very glad that the game is over now, and I have brought myself to the end for such a long way, I love Dying Light 2, I love its community, I love Techland for this work of long, but beautiful and finished art.
DL2 isn't a masterpiece but alr
@@sillygoofymarrannot everyone has the eame taste for some yeah it is and others no i aldo believe it is not a masterpiece but with proper updates i see this game in the long run being a gem and a masterpiece
@@badr.4558 it had the potential
@sillygoofymarran basically and still has tbh man if techland keep up i can bet on everything dl2 at thw end will be a gem
any idea when guns will come to the game? yeah i like them like in Walking Dead its good to have both options
should be pretty soon
@@chickenmayo00 thanks bro
Are you playing this game on pc? The amount of zombies that are roaming in the map looks plentiful in your gameplay, but when compared to Xbox series X it’s kinda scarce
yeah im on pc and use mods to max out density
@@chickenmayo00 oh okay, thanks!
Im juust waitng for the guns to be released, The moment it drops, NG+ will get clicked right away
So.... am I just playing it wrong? because one of my least favorite things is how the areas are set up for parkour, its like they just threw a bunch of crap down and hoped it worked, you can be flowing and 99% of the time you come across an impossible gap or an area thats a roof top dead end due to a wide open area, DL1 I rarely ever had this issue... I came back to it and was liking the new changes, but I can't get pass how tedious everything feels, I want to love the game like I did DL1 but its just not there :/
I have a feeling that, once the rennaisance team (the people that are bringing back the Elysium) finally release the map to the public, we will finally realize why techland completely scrapped the Elysium.
Yo what is that skin you're using in that little parkour montage in the beginning of the video

Don't you dare label the women who self-admittedly attempted to defame and destroy Chris' life and professional reputation as victims. They are not victims. Chris is the sole victim in that whole situation. How do you go from saying that he was proven innocent, to saying 'victims' as though he is definitively guilty in the very next sentence?
As a result of their maliciously motivated actions, we were robbed of the sequel we dreamed of, and the game that Techland wanted to deliver.
I addressed this in another comment by saying it was a mistake, obviously hence why I mentioned he was proven innocent.
@@chickenmayo00 Okay, it just irks me a little bit when people use 'victim' as a synonym for 'accuser', that's all.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s it was called Free Funning/Freestyle Running and now it’s called Parkour? I’ll stick to Free Runners. Parkour sounds weird.
I went back and played it after a year and stopped playing. The world is too repetitive, GRE locations are mostly the same, buildings all look the same, side quest are stupid. This needs and expansion where they fix the open world area, perhaps they should add a similar expansion like they did with dying light, like an outside open area not a city.
Also, just to point out, based on how I play the game, the most useless feature in the game is the tall grass lmao

I hate that Avellone was immediately condemned and lost his job before any semblance of due process, and then even after he's found innocent, cowardly RUclipsrs barely acknowledge it because they might p!$$ off some feminist, and instead we get garbage like, "none of us can really know what happened."
im not trying to not piss off any feminist, its a sensitive subject that can make certain people even victims feel a type of way. Therefore I dont pick aside as to respect anyone. Sorry if it made you feel a sort of way.
Don't think I'll ever enjoy this game. DL1 was great because it was SO simple. The entire looter shooter random stat RPG leveled enemies BS is already so off putting in DL2
