    My favorite line from the villain was,
    "Right or left?"
    "Left"
    *cuts off guy's right hand*
    "Did you mean your left or mine?"

      Both Jim Sterling and Yahtzee have greatly improved from the split I find, Yahtzee doesn't have to hate everything, and Jim can do whatever he likes with his various videos, which really helps as thee are more diverse topics along with random stuff he does that makes it more entertaining. Back to Yahtzee though, his videos are finally more like reviews now having balanced out, while still keeping the more cynical tone.

    Harran is a Turkish city close to the border of Syria. So yes it is in the Middle East. The reason most people are tourists and people have different accents is that the Olympics were happening there when the outbreak started.

    • @eln5343
      @eln5343 2 года назад +2

      I don't think that Harran in Dying Light is supposed to be the real world city of Harran, because you can see in the game that Harran is built near a bay or a large lake, while the real world city of Harran is not. There's also a disclaimer when you start the game, which states that all places are fictional.

So much generic zombie mush in so many different forms, how is one NOT supposed to view the greatest fictional monster ever as an overused and simplistic obstacle and nothing more? We used to get Dawn of the Dead and Resident Evil, now we get Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and, well... Resident Evil 6. Oh zombies, you've been so abused.

      Dying Light's zombies level-up overall in new game +, and much more so with hard mode. Although, hard mode also removes player advantages such as mini-map enemy detection, instant healing (changed to gradual healing), etc. It becomes very easy once you master your play-style of coarse, like with practically any game.

      @alfalfa301 8 лет назад +21

      +Jokairou94 You still don't get the point, Zombies are supposed to scare us in some way, The zombies in modern videogames are just an annoyance, an obstacle that the player either tries to avoid or tries to get rid of, not because he's scared, but because he's tired of them. Making the game more difficult only makes the zombies more annoying, not scary.

      I was referring to Dying Light, not "zombies in modern games". Dying Light's the only modern zombie game I currently play, because the others are easy, generic shit to me. That's my input and if you don't like it, fine, it's not changing for you, and likely vise versa.

The powers are cool, and therefore the gameplay is fun and the game has great humor. There is a part of the game where you infect the city's water supply by pissing in it.

      The only time first person platforming vaguely works is when the physics are altered to make everything floaty, like Halo's physics. Otherwise, first person platforming is shit.

      legion999 Indeed. The early gameplay footage they showed looked alright, except for the orange filter. But things can be changed and fixed. No reason to kick a hardworking dev team out like that. Just imagine if Deep Silver had given Techland creative freedom to do what they wanted. I guess Warner Brothers are very happy they didn't. Looking forward to Dying Light 2.

    • @ExLee_
      @ExLee_ 8 лет назад +1

      Yeah it makes the last part of this video so ironic now because if anything Deep Silver would be begging Techland to make Dead Island 2 since Dying Light was so successful after all. Even more so considering DL was originally supposed to be as DI 2 but they had "Different visions on the project, that caused them to fall out of alignment" as well, ha ha :D

    I have to really agree with the buggy aspect of the parkour. There was a part towards the last half of the game where I was in a short sewer area with collapsing wooden planks and narrow hang ledges on the walls. While there, I tried to jump to one of the ledges to shuffle over to a platform, but my character somehow managed to climb up another ledge (one that was at the very ceiling) and slipped through steel bars and get stuck crouching in open space. Had to reset, so thank gaud there are autosaves. Then there's the NUMEROUS occasions when the run function would not work properly during chase segments involving a lot of jumping between platforms continuously. I don't know if that was just because of my controller or not, but it was very frustrating and I really wish the run button wasn't the left stick button.
    Besides parkour related bugs and some minor problems about a somewhat preachy story and the lack of certain character developments leading up to the final part of the game, I genuinely had fun. This is the sort of game that will eventually be seen, if not already, as a guilty pleasure to enjoy.

      @AlluMan96 9 лет назад +8

      Well, there's just a certain learning curve to begin having to measure distance from the 1st person perspective. It's a mechanic you have to get the knack for. It's learnable, but needs some getting used to. This is all fine and good, however, the 3rd person camera can just get around all that learning much faster and much like Yahtzee breifly mentioned, it comes with more benefits than just improving parkour. This kinda makes the 1st perspective for parkour seem like needless complication. Adding an extra hurdle to adapt to that didn't need to be there.

  • @Saieras
    @Saieras 9 лет назад +3

    First person view has exactly three advantages over third person:
    1. If you're in a very cramped space such as Batman crawling through a vent, you don't want the character model obscuring your view.
    2. In horror games, it can be more effective for the monster to get all up in your face than to show it attacking you from afar.
    3. It saves developers the trouble of modeling and animating a player character model, which makes it downright baffling when they do so anyway in first person single player games.
    Beyond that, first person view degrades tactics by restricting information about the battlefield, combines catastrophically with any sort of platforming, and destroys immersion due to the limited sensory feedback offered by games (third person does a better job simulating awareness of one's own body). If a game is indie, attempting horror, or has lots of tunnels, it can make first person work, but otherwise it'll need to be damn good in other regards to get away with such an egregious mistake.

    Then it was handed to Yager Development
    Then Sumo Digital
    And currently it's being worked on by Dambuster Studios.
    The latter being best known for developing Homefront: The Revolution. So frankly, anyone holding out hope for Dead Island 2 to be a good game should probably pack it in.

This is a special moment in my life and i would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that i will never forget. I just remembered a few other people i would like to thank; facebook, the fish i caught in the third grade, my light in my room bc i wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go on facebook, my house because without it i would be homeless, and last but not least i would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me this is. I have been trying to be the first comment on a post for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day.

      How quick do your reaction times need to be in Dying Light to accurately perform the Parkour? I ask, because the main problem I have is my reaction times suck (hence my dislike for QTE's) and I want opinions before I buy the game.

    • @darketribute1562
      @darketribute1562 9 лет назад

      Darkgun231 Not all that fast. The zombies are pretty sluggish and you can mostly take your time with movement, so you have enough time to aim before you jump. I'd say you can move pretty fast anyway, just so long as you have a remote idea of where to aim when you're running.
      Nighttime is where it gets a little difficult, but that's more learning where the best paths are to get through rather than struggling with reaction times.
      It's not so difficult overall.
