For DL The Beast everyone is screaming at them make it more like DL1, this is honestly, probably their last chance at making a good Dying Light game or we won't see any DL games for years. Also great video!
@@TheDaniRB1 I don't know if it's just because I'm on hard mode but I'd love if time slowed when in my weapon menu. Also wouldn't mind if it was more like GTA 5 or Skyrim and their weapon menu systems. Gets irritating sometimes too on console when square is for grabbing your weapon/arrows out of bodies, looting bodies themselves, and triggering traps. I go to grab an arrow and end up triggering a light trap and then having to reset it so I have it ready for if I need it later. Besides that honestly I have no gripes with the game. It's aged very well and is still insanely great looking and runs at a smooth 60 no problem on PS5. I think if the devs just sat down and had two devs play 1 and 2 side by side and compare then they'd see a lot of where they went wrong at.
@@calelsun finished it on nightmare, and there are things that are downright poorly made-Viral ultra damaging combo, human fights, the Pit (if u dont upgrade enough), the Tahir&Rais fights (need a proper boss fight without ultra BS counter gimmicks, qtes only and/or taking away your inventory. Story could also be better fleshed out and more background/light given to some characters (Rahim, Jade, Brecken, Spike) so they have a more lastinf impact. And im on PC, so never had a keybind problem since i can change them X) (i dread to think what the games controls are on console, since i heard jump is on the trigger buttons 🥶)
They got rid of Chris Avellone, one of the best writers gaming has ever seen,+ all of the story and characters he wrote for the game because of false allegations pushed by checkmark Twitter users, they pretty much scratched it all and wrote a different story at the last minute. They deserve all the hate they can get.
@@lazyvoid7107 Avellone was specifically hired for DL2, he was never part of DL1. And yeah, DL1's story was mediocre, but that's a point I never made in the first place?
@@maboilaurence8227i think u might be a little slow bud bc saying they deserve all the hate is kinda stupid do you actually think the developers would want that ofc not i will correct ur statement the higher ups and the douche of a ceo deserve all the hate not the poor developers
The women who falsely accused Chris of SA should have went to jail. That’s in my opinion criminal to falsely accuse someone of a crime with severe social and possibly professional backlash.
At the very least , he won his case and got six figures from them. It's really annoying how people online give more credit to attention horses rather than actual victims in irl
She's a woman, dude. Look up all the same cases which involve women claiming the same thing. Only for them to walk away Scott free while the guy ether ends his life, has his life ruined or went to jail but was later released..
Maciej Binkowski was a far bigger loss for TL than Zawodny. He was the lead game designer and animation director at TL since dead island, it was his idea for the parkour + zombies. He quit in 2017 after his dream project after DL1 hell raid was cancelled and ngl Tymon failed to fill his shoes. If you watch old DL1 dev interviews you could really see his passion for the direction and especially the animation and physics integration. From what I understand from his twitter he left bc he believed DL1 was lightning in the bottle and that the sequel would not live up to the hype. If alarm bells were rung that early its pretty clear it must have been bad behind the scenes even before covid.
"-especially the animation and physics integration." One of the big things why I'm still playing Dying Light 1 to this day. Everyone knows the glory of the dropkick. But besides that, there's just so many other ways you can mess around with the zombies by exploiting it's AI and ragdoll mechanic...I should make a video covering the many ways you can bully a zombie unarmed.
@@CatsOverdrive This. It was the best part of DL1. DL2 just never felt right. The writing in DL2 was so much worse as well. I could ignore the writing if the combat was good but it wasn't.
You know, the sad part and history with Dying Light 2 for me was that I didn't know about the scandals or the mismanagement and nothing much about the game. I remember seeing the game in E3 (the one showcasing choices) and when I saw the game was on sale and I had some leftover money, I debated if I should buy it, but quickly I bought it. Playing through the game, I was hoping that every small decision and even giving water towers or factories to either of the factions was supposed to alter the story or give me different options in missions. I played through the game like that blind and during that time we moved out of the house and in our new house we had no internet, so for a month I played through the whole Dying Light 2. When the game concluded, and I got one of the endings, I was like ''Damn. I got the worst one. Let's see what RUclipsrs got!'' And everyone had the same ending as me. ''Surely it's just coincidence!'' I look through the endings and realized that none of the choices really matter and none of the choices are even decently good. And neither did my choices that had me stressed to pick one or another didn't matter for anything. I can't express the disappointment I had when I realized it. Not to say that the games' plot becomes a mess at the end. Aiden can survive a volatile attack and so many things in game, but gets knocked down by one punch in every cutscene. Dying Light 2 might be the only game that I bought and regret ever purchasing it. I love Chris Avellone. It's just, I wish we had the game that he wrote for. Because I know that he is good at multi-layered stories and making them good. (Fallout 2 - New Vegas, etc). Shame how two people can destroy one guys' whole career and get him fired. But It's how the world works. I guess.
Same thing happened with Justin Roiland, who was also accused of misconduct but like Avellone, there was not enough evidence. Just being accused is enough to screw anyone over, especially if they're men.
Avellone didn't write for Fallout 2. He was only majorly involved in New Vegas' DLC. You're still correct because he wrote planescape torment, easily his best work by far, but still
DL1 was lighting in a bottle, the atmosphere the world building both in structure and environmental story telling was better. And a big issue I have with DL2 is that it feels like a game world not a real place. Exaggerated size of certain buildings, the ledges that wrap around every floor of tall buildings makes no sense. The worst is the big tower that the only way to get to the top is essentially climbing a puzzle. Again makes zero sense.
When DL2 was about to release I replayed through whole DL1. When i got my hands on DL2 it felt like game made by someone trying to copy DL1 without ever playing it. Whole game felt somehow off.
@@beertlont776 but dying light 2's parkour wasn't even good, it felt worse than minecraft parkour. It just had no impact at all, way too floaty, at least when I played it.
I already have some doubts about it. I was genuinely hopeful in the original idea of a dlc that was affected by the base games decisions but if we get the original Kyle Crane (minus some obvious background development) I'll be happy... although after dl points being released, I lost the ability to be optimistic.
Kyle Crane won't be a sentient volatile like the Mother. He will be more like some werewolf. You can see it in the leaked script and in the trailer. I think they lost any potential already.
I will never stop wishing the worst for those women who falsely accused Chris Avellone of SA and got us a terrible game😭🙏. The story, the setting and the atmosphere of the games looked amazing in the E3 versions, shame Techland dropped him.
@@Ballinthefirst Googled high and low and haven't found anything regarding harassing co-workers. Only just saw information regarding the SA allegations, which are what affected his career the most.
Those womyn were just half of the blame. Dickland is also a bunch of shitlords for unilaterally abandoning Chris when none of the accusations were even proven at all.
I guess my main issue with the game is that half of the movement/combat controlls are binded to the same key, and what action is going to trigger is based on a few, sometimes rather unclear, variables. For instance, I've spent around 110 hours playing this game and I still have no idea if I'm gonna kick somebody into oblivion or smash their head into the concrete when I'm falling down on them from pretty much any height. I also don't get why the game tries to tell you that Aiden is some mutated superhuman who can do crazy shit, and 10 seconds later plays a custscene in which he gets totally fucking obliterated by some random weak ass lookin NPC dude
On controller it's a headache because you have to do what feels like a Street Fighter combo to do anything more complex than swing. To vault over an enemy, you have to sprint (stick), boost (stick), then jump (RB). Meanwhile, DL1 is run at the enemy and jump.
@@PelemusMcSoyRunning is automatic with the default control scheme. So unless you change the setting all you have to do is press the stick down and the right bumper.
@@CraneOnaKrane thats fine but you cant say the majority of people like dying light 2 rather than one. thats simply untrue. dying light one just simply did it better. and didnt have a sex offender in the writing team. unlike the second one
Most frustrating thing is that you can’t progress campaigns together in multiplayer. Dying Light 1 would save campaign progress to all players. How is this even a thing in the modern day?
do we want player choices to matter or not? You can't let everyone progress through the story without everyone in game making the exact same choices or without one guy just choosing the entire party's decisions permanently. They kept story progress in DL1because it was a static world and plotline that couldn't change. How do you expect them to load 2 different versions of the same area at once if 2 players decided to give control of a tower to different factions? Is one player just flying in the flooded district because he trusted the colonel while the other dude is on the lakebed sprinting around because he emptied it instead? It just fundamentally wouldn't be able to work.
@@sekiro_the_one-armed_wolf you created a problem where there isn’t one. If you’re playing in co op, you already opted out from being immersed since you’re not the main character. It’s not that big a deal especially when choices don’t matter regardless.
Nobody "hates" the game. Its just disappointing. DL 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. The second one is definitely disappointing compared to what we thought we would get but I'm on my 5th playthrough right now and still enjoy it despite its flaws.
Found a bug that spawned if I counted right 150 volatiles in one spot inside each other that would then freeze the game till it crashed. i have no clue how it happened, but it happened in old villador
i'll be fr for a minute. dying light 2 has a mid story at best and has bugs but when it comes to gameplay it's in many ways better than the first game. i think it was pathetic at launch but now it's a real sequel
@@aiIeri the fact that some mechanics are diffrent doesn't mean they're worse. I personally enjoy the parkour a lot more in the second game. As for the combat. Human combat in DL1 compared to DL2 is pathetic. Tho the zombie combat in DL1 is way better than in DL2
Ya know the funny thing is I distinctly remember a time of harsh criticism of Dying Light 1 for being "unbalanced" and "just spamming the dropkick to have fun." Lets not pretend Dying Light was this revolutionary game that did no wrong, and Im not talking about the writing. Everyone had a problem with DL1 the EXACT same way they're finding problems with DL2. Only after a ton of updates, really bizarre DLCs, and time to just accept it for what it is are people now thinking DL1 is great. Give it time, a new playerbase will think DL2 did no wrong and DL3 is a mess.
Damn, gotta say people LOVE to HATE. I mean I HATE DYING LIGHT 2, but knowing what happened behind the scenes actually make it even sadder. Instead of hate now, Im sad we never get to see what Dying Light 2 should be. And that exactly what I felt now, they "tried" to improve it, but nothing fixes the story or any clear direction of what this game could have been. Your video is damn good, so you deserve a Sub.
Omg such a clickbaity title. No one HATES it. It was a little bit more disappointing than the first for some people, but a lot of people, including myself, enjoyed it quite a bit.
Personally i enjoyed the story more than 1. Everyone in that game was so shallow or we spent so little time with them that i didn’t feel anything when they died
@@xyias3984 i know these are 2 diffrent games with some similarities but as a sequel dead island 2 is better since it actually improves on the things the first game did
@@SOBBLESALLOVERTHEPLACETbh freind even tho dl2 is kinda mid but in a good way and ik pp have diff opinions but dl2 us still undoubtedly a better game in general if you compare them both only di2 gore is top notch but beside that the game is fun but it's not like dl1 or 2 when u finish it u will think about ir and want to play it but di2 and again ik pp have diff opinion but overall with the hot mess of a game called dl2 its still better
Just play DL1 and it's DLC's. DL2 was nothing like people expected, and hearing of the dev cycle of the game, it's evident that it's not as good as the first one.
Honestly, the Dying Light community is terrible. I've never seen so many nostalgia-fueled fanboys crucifying Dying Light 2 as if it were the worst game of the century. The launch was a complete disaster, but you’d have to be pretty ignorant not to give credit for the fixes. And yes, Dying Light 2 improved on many aspects of its predecessor. The combat and parkour are much smoother and more responsive than before. As for the story... well... storytelling was never Dying Light’s strong point-both games have silly plots with clichéd villains. It feels like most of the community is caught up in a herd mentality, repeating the same tired narrative.
I haven’t played Dying Light 2 yet but I will give credit that Dying Lights story is mediocre. I remember when it released, people were saying Rais is just a Vaas (from FC3) knockoff. So when the Dying Light 2 trailer came out, I was optimistic that they’d have fixed the story. But what confused me, and put me off buying it, was the “multiple choices” design choice for the story. If you can’t write a compelling, linear story, what makes you think that it will be better now? I suspect that this design choice was partly influenced by Chris Avellones decision to come on, since his writing expertise is mainly with RPGs iirc. Or maybe they made that choice and then decided to hire Avellone. Either way, Techland has confused me.
Dying light was such an underrated title when it came out. I thought it was fantastic but I guess we were used to good games coming out so frequently we took it for granted
@@aiIeriYou do realize having fun with a game is like saying the game is good for some i was here even before dl2 lunch and i am still here and ik the game is mid but without the improvements dl2 would have been one of the worst games out there but now no i find it decent and fun not a bad game like some not the best but decent and to some instinct good
@@aiIeri some ppl have real issues on actually putting a finger on whats bad about the game or good this game isn t bad its decent, amazing gameplay mid story bad immersion the game feels like it has more but then you hit the roadblock that was hidden with wood and glue, its like reaching into a bag of chips thinking you still have chips but you don t saying the game is amazing is a lie saying the game is bad is also a lie ,the game is just not enough i love the game but being realistic here, it had potential to be a masterpiece
I tried it yesterday and I still thought it was crap, boring easy to guess what’s next story and floatty un impactful combat and the parkour? Meh. Would play it if I literally had no other choices
I like both DL1 and DL2. I personally played during launch and... Yeah, I dropped it. I came back a bit after and honestly... I quite liked it. It is really good now. Sure, it's not Dying Light 1, but it's still good imo. I still would have preferred the 2018 version of the game but... Oh well. Hopefully The Beast or DL3 end up being something like that.
“Everyone”? Thats a broad statement lmao I don’t think hate is the appropriate word. Fs. It’s not as great as one as far as how it feels but I don’t think ppl HATE it lmao
True I'm playing it again cuz I stopped playing it and when I came back I barely remember anything (It felt disappointing the first time) It felt hollow and overpopulated and point A to point B Didn't matter enough doing it and now it still feels that way but way less with the new arrangement from the first major updates honestly hate the who player stats layout and the armor weapons if any I woulda love to see less weapons but more ways to survive and craft which is awful in this game who the hell's gives Kurenai so much damage like wtf? 😂😂 Now on my second playthrough it feels better not by much thou 😂😂 like wtf is up with the Kurenai 😂😂
Frustrated's the word for me, but it's exclusively because of the narrative. I actually think it's a blandified QoL-stuffed version of the original gameplay, with a bit too much ubisoftiness around it. But the narrative is driving me so far up the wall you'd think I unlocked that ability IRL. Like, I will ALWAYS take a dumb but competently written story that has no aspirations and makes no bones about it and has fun with itself than whatever the fuck shithole this story got to pull Barney out of. "Ohhhh the coppers are sooo bad they...like...uh...kill people! And stuff!" Fuck right on outta here with this preachy nonsense when I was nearly GLEEFULLY AND REMORSELESSLY HANGED by the survivors at the start of the game. And they also bully a disabled old man despite him being an important member, and they didn't have the decency to start acting friendly... I could keep going on. They really tried to make the police state look worse than the hippies, but ended up writing the manson family.
I played dying light 2 the other day. When i say i was disappointed that would be a understatement. Id soon rather play Gollum then give it a second chance
im gonna get flamed for this but i don't really care. as someone with 1k hours on both dl1 and dl2 i will always prefer dl2 over dl1 for many reasons. combat in my opinion is more engaging and fun gameplay wise, sure the gore and physics are not as amazing as in the first game but when it comes to feeling and overall gameplay its an improvement compared to the first game especially against human enemies. even at nightmare difficulty dl1 is a snooze fest as you can grab a weapon with 20 damage and still be able to 1 shot half of the enemy types in dl1 with drop attack skill. Every weapon in dl2 feels alot more smoother and feels impactful example being 2 handed weapons in dl1 were painfully sluggish and mediocre if not worse than most weapons meanwhile in dl2 its one of the best weapon categories in the game. Plus weapon modification is strict in dl1 because your forced to use the highest rarity in order to get the best damage value and are forced to use a specific elemental set from that rarity, at least here you can chose any mods and still be effective against any enemy. Enemies are alot more smoother to dodge and avoid, volatiles in dl1 have a common tendency of gluing onto you when they start to pounce and human enemies and virals take 0 damage when they start the dodging animation and regardless if you hit them they won't take damage. While it did have a rocky start, it was at least enjoyable and fun for me in many ways and was a breath of fresh air when it came to core gameplay and mechanics. The story while not being mindblowing is definitely alot better than the first games predictable story line. The only complaint i can say is that it is the physics and gore not being the same way as dl1 but that doesn't meant its bad its really good. CO-OP is something i can't give an opinon cause i don't enjoy playing with randoms and prefer to play alone. Parkour in dl1 is good but is forgettable because the grappling hook exists and sometimes the parkour itself feels stiff at certain times. dl2 parkour is a huge improvement and alot more fun and engaging even with the paragliders and grappling hooks its alot more fast paced compared to the first. Dying Light 2 is a good game but not perfect, there are many things that does right and better and many things that does wrong and worse and the same thing goes with dl1. When people say *i enjoy dl2 or i love dl2* other people go apeshit and is like *YOU NEVER PLAYED DL1 HOW DARE YOU LIKE DL2 AND YOU MUST BE A FUCKING IDIOT FOR LIKING DL2* and i have seen this occur more than ever. the number one reason i have 1k hours on dl1 its because of pvp and thats it and if it did not exist i would stop playing at 300 hours ish because there aren't alot to do once your done with the game. and the number one reason i have 1k on dl2 because of the combat and parkour being extremely engaging as well as Jai's survivor missions. Even with newgame plus im able to finish the game in many ways because it has a few instinces in the story where the mission or gameplay changes entirely.
@@just1randomboyo yea dl2 is a good game but when the modding support comes then it’s gonna be sooo much better and then hopefully these haters will hush
@@vexberetta7944 I did I beat it on release and rebeat it not that long ago which made me try dying light light 2 I think dying light 1 is amazing but I strictly only care about gameplay and dying light 2s parkour and combat has so much more depth and I enjoy it a lot more although the physics aren’t as good as I miss the bone breaking in dying light 1 and dying light 2 just seems to have way more things to do after the end of the game so I just enjoy it both are great though :)
@@vexberetta7944 yeah and in fareness Kyle crane is way cooler the music is way better in dl1 and the graphics are even better imo dying light 2 looks more cartoony then dying light 1 and the story is garbage in dying light 2 .. sorry about the big text I just love talking about these games
DL2 is upgraded Dl1 and its amazing. They are just judging by the slow start and are blinded by nostalgia cause they're not nature enough not looking at it objectively but emocionaly like little kids or women even though they are already adult by the number. But mainly they are just consumers and as I said they evaluates based on their emotions and cannot look on games objectively (what pros and cons games itselves contains.)
12:50 You're probably being sarcastic (or braindead) and I understand the whole sentiment. But dude, this game has much better parkour, OST, graphics and open world traversal. I personally walked through the whole game 3 times and I can't say I regret it. It does feel very much like Metro Exodus because of all the cut conten, but it's still decent. Wouldn't recommend buying it though. I didn't.
I actually really enjoy both games. The first one for its story and awesome characters, and the second for the combat and parkour. I also feel like there is more to do end game wise than in the first. Shame we will likely never see what DL2 could have been, but here’s to hoping that Beast will clutch this, otherwise we will likely not see another DL game for a long time.
Same, i always been afraid of playing it because what people said about it but recently i started playing it and ignoring the story which i find very filler like the secondaries the gameplay is amazing and the latest update made the game better as i saw in the community
Don't need to listen anybody... Somebody talking trash even never played because of game price... I have both games and I play second one much more.Nightmare mode is fun...
I played through the game and listened to all of the dialogue in the hopes that at least some of it would be good or that I'd find a gem like Gazi. It wasn't pleasant, but I loved the first game and trusted Techland enough to endure the torture. It didn't pay off, the story was ass. People complained about DL1's story, that it was too tropey and cliche, and it was. It was bad, but in a campy, fun way, like a cheap slasher horror movie. DL2's story is just bad with no campy or fun aspects. But okay, fine, I could overlook a bad story if the gameplay and world were great. I played through the first game like 10 times, and I still love dicking around in Harran to this day despite the bad story. But the problem is that DL2 didn't nail that aspect either. The atmosphere is off, it's too colorful and cheery, and it contrasts the bleak and "serious" story too much. The world itself is boring to traverse, there's too little visual variety and too much clutter. The parkour is too floaty, and despite having more moves, it still feels worse to play than DL1's. The only upgrade is the combat against humans. All in all, DL2 feels like a cheap copy of DL1. Like a team of devs only saw some limited gameplay of DL1 and tried to copy it, managing a passing resemblance without capturing the soul of the game.
If you try the color filter options the map becomes incredibly depressingly bleak, a total 180 but not really in a good way that makes you feel melancholy and say “wow this is deep” like the last of us, more like “can I find something interesting for once”
@Journey_to_who_knows DL1 caught lightning in a bottle with the atmosphere. It wasn't just the bleak colors, but a lot of things like the music, the ambiance, the zombies, and so on. Every once in a while as I run around, I stop to take Harran in and just exist in it for a moment. That doesn't happen in DL2, at least not for me, and it's not just about the colors. Everything about it feels off.
If they really pulled off those graphics and that legit fire story and the story mechanics they had promised and it was really that detailed and great. This would’ve been one of the greatest games of all time, but nah they failed miserably.
The story could have been good if they actually finished it, there are more plot holes and loose ends than the writer has braincels and they tried to hide it with “aiden dips the city LOL” hell I was actually getting invested near the end and then they pull that stunt and none of your choices matter and you don’t find out what happens to anyone. Not knowing someone’s fate can be a interesting plot detail but not in a game that Suggs itself over your choices supposedly mattering.
I disagree, if you are surprised at DL2 being a buggy mess then you clearly never played DL1. I went in expecting Dying Light and I got Dying Light. Setting aside the fact that Techland also worked on the buggy mess known as Dead Island you should NOT be surprised this is a buggy game that barely takes itself serious...
The free running is fun, it's a shame the story is garbage, they made nights a mess, and the systems we were promised don't work. The DLC is too grindy too.
It’s the opposite, whatever works in the beast they’re adding it to dying light 2. Which people will still complain about I’m sure even tho the beast looks just like dl2 with slightly better lighting and graphics
Never understood why a sequel needs to be completely different.. they got rid of everything that made the first game great, combat? Shit, parkour? Frustrating, story? Shit, graphics? Only good thing. Don’t even get me started on the hud and menu choices.. It had so much potential if they just stuck to the first games mechanics and story telling, but no it had to be new and different. Hope the beast isn’t a flop aswel.
The combat and parkour are infinitely better than 1, and the story, though still a corny mess, is at least more entertaining than 1’s. Did anyone actually rewatch the story of Dying Light 1 in the last few years? It’s awful! Rais is a wannabe Vaas who doesn’t work because Crane isn’t anything like Jason. It’s almost funny because it makes it look like Rais is in his own fantasy world imagining he’s got this Vaas/Jason dynamic with Crane, but Crane’s just getting progressively more annoyed with his pointless rambling. The only enjoyment one can derive from Dying Light 1 comes from irony. Say what you will about Dying Light 2, but at least it has some actually poignant plot moments buried in the corn. And Aiden and Waltz both namedropping the subtitle and title of the game respectively in dialogue with at most thirty minutes between each other is peak comedy. Even when it comes to ironic enjoyment Dying Light 2 has a better story.
@@Hewasnumber1Respectfully I have to disagree, the parkour made me quit the game a few times, climbing a building was just frustrating, not timing the grapple hook right, being able to jump 30-40feet? then also being able to fly to the top of a building and around the map defeats the purpose of parkour in the first place. Atleast in number one all you had was a grapple hook, which was an end game item and had a limited amount of uses before resetting, forcing you to free climb, and the world was catered extremely well to the simple parkour mechanics. Making it a smooth and enjoyable experience. Not once did I get frustrated I couldn’t time 6 jumps perfectly to get from point A to B. Or not knowing if i can grab that edge.. Just because number 2 has more parkour options doesn’t necessarily means it fits. Next the path ways you can take in the story.. it pretty much forces you to google what the best option is to get a half decent ending, now I’m not saying the story is inherently better in number 1, but the linear way they did it made more sense, like the last of us, it made it more immersive, having to think for every dialog choice completely breaks up the experience. Hense why they’re going back to a linear story for the new game. The combat is clunky and full of bugs compared to number 1, enemies rag doll physics are horrible, they teleport towards you, same animations for basically everything and yea.. I also never got exited to find a good weapon, they’re everywhere, felt like an easy sandbox arcade game compared to the first.. for me the only hard part throughout the entire game was fighting Walt’s at the end. Night time isn’t scary, zombies aren’t scary, humans are annoying to fight (same as the first but they weren’t overly clunky and buggy) and parkour is just.. idk man its not my cup of tea, only thing I thought was better is the graphics enhancements. Anyway each to their own.
@@dunno6442 The only broken item in Dying Light 2 is the paraglider. Don’t use it if you don’t want to. Or at least use it less. And the grappling hook is a midgame item at best if you actually bother to do side missions. You actively have to avoid unlocking it to make it an endgame item. And why are so hung up on getting a "good" ending. Let me tell you, the story is way more enjoyable if you get a bad ending. My experience with the story is way more positive than DL1 because I got the second worst ending in the game because I went out of my way to roleplay as Aiden, and made choices based on what I thought was the best way to find Mia. I tempered altruism with my goal of finding her, and I traded loyalty for skepticism. I sided with whoever I thought would be the most convenient way forward, which made my game way more intriguing, and gave me a lot of emotionally poignant moments. It’s still Dying Light writing, but I was more invested in Aiden’s journey than Crane’s because my Aiden was a conflicted person trying to navigate the city’s politics to get what he wanted.
@@Hewasnumber1 You pretty much need the paraglider to get around because of the map design, relying souly on the parkour makes it annoying because of that, now yes you could get the grapple early in 1 if you sought it out, but you don’t need it to get around efficiently, which is important in a game build around parkour. It’s a privilege item, not a need. and generally the “good” ending is more fulfilling than a bad one for me, I’d rather experience the best story line possible without having to replay the entire game later or RUclips the other outcomes, which again comes down to personal preference, I’m not a fan of the open choice story line role playing side of things, morel of story is I prefer dying light 1, you prefer dying light 2, let’s leave it at that, have a good one 👍
@ You don’t need the paraglider. If anything, not using it makes the world so much more interesting because you have to go up and down and through the buildings to get where you want to go quickly. It leads to a much more interesting parkour experience because the skyscrapers have multiple viable paths through and around them. Sure, the paraglider is necessary for some activities, but for general exploration you’re free to not use it.
DL2 is slowly turning into the game we were promised. I see it as another Cyberpunk problem but DL2 will always be a more fun game to parkour around than the first.
@@Rammstom2It’s better than Dying Light 1 in every possible way other than nostalgia. Like, guys, I grew up playing Dying Light 1 and even then my rose tinted glasses aren’t on tight enough for me to ignore the fact that it’s just worse than 2.
@@Hewasnumber1 The parkour is more gritty, making any cool traversal earned, the story isn't woeful and has the decency to stay outta the way, the dying of the light is actually relevant instead of this RPG-style "bonus mode", it's actually scary, the fan zone killer exists Yeah, DL2 is totally superior to 1 in every conceivable aspect 🙄
@@Rammstom2 Combat, parkour, story (still not good by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s better than Dying Light 1’s), weapons, tools, side activities and missions, characters, world design, and the list goes on.
I think this video is based on the wrong part of Dying light 2. You proceed to say that the game is bad, but all you want to do is talk about it's development cycle. I think ur missing the real point and this is just simply hating on a game, that has come a long way. Dying light 2 Reloaded edition was a game changer. Combat felt nice after this, its crisp, responsive and satisfying. It also got a lot of graphical optimizations especially on console. Although the story really is horrible, i do think that in the first game its the complete opposite. And talking about glitches they really fixed tons of things, but then again glitchwise the first game wasnt perfect at the start either and still isn't, but thats not the point. I think people gotta start giving this game a another chance. Hell, maybe it was a development hell at the start, it had a rocky launch, but then again its important to be open minded and give it a chance. Games like cyberpunk was a disaster back then, but still people forgive and gave it another shot and they liked it. I think its the same for dying light 2. I honestly can't compare how the game was on launch and what it is now. Ignoring it is just wrong.
@dowahkin1852 Nah Im not ignoring anything, this is wrong. The game is bad because of the dev cycle and leadership. All of my gameplay footage is from reloaded edition.
@@SKREWEY1 but if your a regular person who doesn't care for some hidden leadership problems and drama about Dev cycle, it won't effect your gameplay. The game is good until you start looking into things that have nothing to do with your gaming session.
@@dowahkin1852 this guy is just a yapper, dl2 is so much fun, especialy when compared to dl1, its just better, the story is a bit cringe but it has its highligths (tower climb scene). overall mid game for its price but not a completlly bad game, i really enjoyed it
@@COULY_GALLO01-yo6sgyou're the yapper one, you're probably one of these kids who preorder games and doesn't even care about quality as long as it gets you occupied for a few hours. That game was a mess and it was nothing ompared to the first kne, it is fun now after 2 years of updates, in the beginning it was a complete mess and if we're being fair, it still is to some extent, so you and your friend there are the yappers, you two snowflakes are the reason why nowadays games are so trash and they keep on on being more and more shit but with increaing prices
so what you are saying is that its a far lesser experience than DL1 ? i just finished the main game in normal and im gonna start the Following soon, and potentially go NG+ hard, and NM in order to max legend pts. should I wait on DL2 ?
I played this game through in solo, watched all the cutscenes, and I LOVED IT :( I feel sorry for the people who payed for it and got disappointed, I was happy for my money. And when the end credit song came, I legit cried, I listened to Metric when I was young and I didn't expect it. I can see what people are missing, especially after the first game, and it's expansion, but I can tell that I really love everything that is Dying Light. The troubled development and the Ccksckr Head in Techland is very, very sad, and I wish it was different. I really hope there will be more Dying Light. The video was nice BTW, keep up the good work
Dying light 2 is still a great game, It feels unfinished yes but over dl1 and dl2 I prefer dl2 as I like the parkour aspect of it. The combat of dl1 is unmatched. I always liked the run the fuck away from fights of dl2.
Do you know what human combat in dl1 was like it was actually shif It made me wanna turn my console off every time I have to fight a human in dl1, but I love human combat in dl2 it's actually fun to fight humans they don't just hit the block spam making it impossible to hit then unless you have a ranged weapon but I'll agree that dl1 had better zombie combat.
@@goodygooger69 I felt like the combat in dl1 felt realistic with the weight of your swings. While yes dl1 combat is insanely harder than dl2 that doesn't mean its shit
@@Alvixity I didn't say anything on the zombie combat that's the highlight of the game I was talking about the human side of dl1 and I'd say that dl2s zombie combat is weaker then dl1s but I do agree that dl1s combat feels realistic with the weight of yoir swings but it felt better with humans in dl2
@Alvixity let's be 100 percent fr right now the first games human combat is absolute unfettered ass. Somehow kyle crane is the only mf in the quarantine zone that doesn't get unlimited I frames on dodges, and when I swing it's a 5050 of whether or not it will register. Dl2 beats out dl1 in human combat any day of the week, and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't. It's not that the first game is harder, it's just that the human combat is poorly designed. That's all there is to it.
Yeah, they just had to throw in a Walking Dead scenario because "ohhh, post-apocalyptic" only to have things run like a really bad section of Detroit (which isn't saying much).
you say all this as if every single character in DL1 didn't speak like an autistic A.I chat bot. the story is bad in both games, but that literally doesn't matter because parkouring across rooftops, and drop kicking zombies literally never gets old. i've put 100s of hours into DL1, and i'm currently 25 hours deep into DL2. most of that time isn't even playing missions. almost every mechanic in DL2 is an improvement over DL1, and i say that as someone who genuinely loved the first game. i think the DL community is going through the same thing as the GTA community where a huge portion of the fanbase refuse to acknowledge the improvements of the latest entry due to hipster syndrome. the people who are incapable of seeing the blatant improvements to gameplay are actively begging for it to regress, because they're blinded by nostalgia. same thing happened when Gta 4 came out. everyone kept saying it was a step sown from San Andreas, but it suddenly became the best game in the franchise once 5 released. i suspect this game will meet a similar fate.
okay you can diss dl2 cuz of its poor story but do not diss aiden he is a pretty chill dude like once he saw a zombie and said "be chill" and he was so chill the zombie froze
Aiden just is not a likeable character. Crane was a badass and funny at times. The DL1 story was mid sure, but it didn't try to be more than it was (cough cough DL2)
@IkerPacheco-y8z i can see that. For me, I just don't like him because of the great job that Roger Craig did with Crane. Aiden is good in his own right, but the lame and confusing story did not do him any justice.
@@Exotic-_😂😂 ok we get it you don’t like how polite Aiden but that doesn’t make him a unlikeable character, he doesn’t have to be battle hardened like crane and he actually can be aggressive depending on which choice you choose.
I haven't watched the entire video as of writing this but ill say the big thing that keeps me from liking DL2 is the rpg mechanics. Don't get me wrong dying light had a skill tree and weapon stata but in DL2 its taken up a notch. It feels like i just cant do ANY damage if im not running a perfectly optimized build priortizing stats over everything else. I hate having to upgrade blueprints dozens of times just for them to be useful. I hate having to farm for resources. I hate the stupid shots you need to get to upgrade health and stamina. There is a lot about DL2 i absolutely love. I love the parkour, i love Villadore especially the inner city, i like the choice mechanics, i love how dark zones are utilized Theres so much i love but the bad far outweighs the good for me. So much so that i only ever beat the game once and on subsequent attempts ive never even reached the city Now? I just play dead island 2 whenever i wanna crack zombie skulls
Dying Light 2 being released the eay that it did. I gotta say the developers are doing too much to help it by now. They're spending lots on time and money on a game that is being played as much or less than DL1. CDPR stuck with Cyberpunk because they knew how good of a game that was and it needed to be fixed so people can see it. But that cannot be said with DL2.
i have multiple issues with the parkour that put it below dying light 1: 1. the stamina system arbitrarily blocks you from climbing certain structures, you upgrade it by finding meth or whatever instead of doing parkour. 2. too many of the upgrades are "do a comically high jump after doing x" instead of new parkour moves that they were advertising before release (for clarification, they talked about adding many new animations, hinting at new moves unseen in the first game) 3. the environmental design is straight ass - you have yellow paint on ledges and flood lights on sides of skyscrapes telling you the correct (and only) way instead of designers trusting the player's intuition. 4. this is more of a personal preference, but i hate villedor: there isnt enough between street level and rooftops for verticality and the sloped surfaces slow you down in a very annoying way. i love the slums in the first game, everything is built in an organic way where many buildings arent on the same level which makes traversal feel more dynamic. i really think that dying light 1 and mirrors edge (dont know about catalyst) have much better parkour.
Absolute W video from a small youtuber. I loved DL1 but had no idea what was going on with 2, and never played or watched it as the overview was mostly negative from the community. I wish this game lived up to the original, but DL1 will always be my favorite zombie game
I played DL2 and within minutes I can tell they dropped the ball. I didn’t know about the false accusations either. They should prosecute and double the jail time for false accusations.
In a parallel universe we got the dying light 2018 e3...but thanks to some random women falsely accusing avellone it all fell apart like a deck of cards, now the only thing saving dying light 2 is project renaissance
@ i was a high dying light one fan so when this one came out I got it immediately I feel like it just wasn’t some peoples cup of tea cause I love all the mechanics
Finally someone who is actually talking about what happened with Chris instead of just glossing over it. This was supposed to be the ultimate zombie game in my eyes when they showed the e3 2018 trailer. Just for them erase 90% of the work and still have an unfinished product after 2 years. Here to hoping the beast and dying light 3 will actually be good. If not it was fun while it lasted
the game feels like it was built with arbitrary criteria instead of passion. many parts of the game are limited with no reason: you need to upgrade every single piece of equipment (with dogshit return on investment in most cases) and parkour is dependent on a stupid stamina bar instead of a much more elegant and subtle system in dl1 where running on flat ground slows you down, but climbing keeps you going. the story is boring and dogshit, but i can see someone having an impression that its technically better than it appears, because of the scale and different choices. most people won't come up with detailed critiques because they couldnt be bothered sitting through all that. i have played through the first game more than 5 times and there are many issues i found in the story, but the one thing i cant fault is the premise: being a secret operative sent in a quarantine zone is an infinitely more engaging intro than some fallout 4 ass "i need to find family member" story thats been done to death
For DL The Beast everyone is screaming at them make it more like DL1, this is honestly, probably their last chance at making a good Dying Light game or we won't see any DL games for years. Also great video!
Thank you! And I think so too, I hope they make it more concise tbh.
that, or they finally REMAKE the first game (dont BS, there were some features/section that need a rework)
@@TheDaniRB1 I don't know if it's just because I'm on hard mode but I'd love if time slowed when in my weapon menu. Also wouldn't mind if it was more like GTA 5 or Skyrim and their weapon menu systems. Gets irritating sometimes too on console when square is for grabbing your weapon/arrows out of bodies, looting bodies themselves, and triggering traps. I go to grab an arrow and end up triggering a light trap and then having to reset it so I have it ready for if I need it later. Besides that honestly I have no gripes with the game. It's aged very well and is still insanely great looking and runs at a smooth 60 no problem on PS5. I think if the devs just sat down and had two devs play 1 and 2 side by side and compare then they'd see a lot of where they went wrong at.

Maciej Binkowski was a far bigger loss for TL than Zawodny. He was the lead game designer and animation director at TL since dead island, it was his idea for the parkour + zombies. He quit in 2017 after his dream project after DL1 hell raid was cancelled and ngl Tymon failed to fill his shoes. If you watch old DL1 dev interviews you could really see his passion for the direction and especially the animation and physics integration.
From what I understand from his twitter he left bc he believed DL1 was lightning in the bottle and that the sequel would not live up to the hype. If alarm bells were rung that early its pretty clear it must have been bad behind the scenes even before covid.
"-especially the animation and physics integration."
One of the big things why I'm still playing Dying Light 1 to this day. Everyone knows the glory of the dropkick. But besides that, there's just so many other ways you can mess around with the zombies by exploiting it's AI and ragdoll mechanic...I should make a video covering the many ways you can bully a zombie unarmed.
Where is Binkowski now? I wanna play whatever they make next.
@@CatsOverdrive This. It was the best part of DL1. DL2 just never felt right. The writing in DL2 was so much worse as well. I could ignore the writing if the combat was good but it wasn't.
You know, the sad part and history with Dying Light 2 for me was that I didn't know about the scandals or the mismanagement and nothing much about the game. I remember seeing the game in E3 (the one showcasing choices) and when I saw the game was on sale and I had some leftover money, I debated if I should buy it, but quickly I bought it.
Playing through the game, I was hoping that every small decision and even giving water towers or factories to either of the factions was supposed to alter the story or give me different options in missions. I played through the game like that blind and during that time we moved out of the house and in our new house we had no internet, so for a month I played through the whole Dying Light 2.
When the game concluded, and I got one of the endings, I was like ''Damn. I got the worst one. Let's see what RUclipsrs got!'' And everyone had the same ending as me. ''Surely it's just coincidence!'' I look through the endings and realized that none of the choices really matter and none of the choices are even decently good. And neither did my choices that had me stressed to pick one or another didn't matter for anything. I can't express the disappointment I had when I realized it. Not to say that the games' plot becomes a mess at the end. Aiden can survive a volatile attack and so many things in game, but gets knocked down by one punch in every cutscene. Dying Light 2 might be the only game that I bought and regret ever purchasing it.
I love Chris Avellone. It's just, I wish we had the game that he wrote for. Because I know that he is good at multi-layered stories and making them good. (Fallout 2 - New Vegas, etc). Shame how two people can destroy one guys' whole career and get him fired. But It's how the world works. I guess.
Same thing happened with Justin Roiland, who was also accused of misconduct but like Avellone, there was not enough evidence. Just being accused is enough to screw anyone over, especially if they're men.
Avellone didn't write for Fallout 2. He was only majorly involved in New Vegas' DLC. You're still correct because he wrote planescape torment, easily his best work by far, but still
The Cutscene VS Gameplay thing happens in every game tbf
@@-Mawce- and it ruins every game its in
Wait you guys are playing for the Story? Lol I knew it sucked but had a blast with the gameplay, honestly gameplay is better than DL1
DL1 was lighting in a bottle, the atmosphere the world building both in structure and environmental story telling was better. And a big issue I have with DL2 is that it feels like a game world not a real place. Exaggerated size of certain buildings, the ledges that wrap around every floor of tall buildings makes no sense. The worst is the big tower that the only way to get to the top is essentially climbing a puzzle. Again makes zero sense.
i mean the game is pretty nice now after all the updates. but I agree about the buildings. Not a lot of soul
When DL2 was about to release I replayed through whole DL1. When i got my hands on DL2 it felt like game made by someone trying to copy DL1 without ever playing it. Whole game felt somehow off.

as soon as i found out DL 2 had a timeskip and everything we went through in the first game got basically discarded, all the hype died down
I guess my main issue with the game is that half of the movement/combat controlls are binded to the same key, and what action is going to trigger is based on a few, sometimes rather unclear, variables.
For instance, I've spent around 110 hours playing this game and I still have no idea if I'm gonna kick somebody into oblivion or smash their head into the concrete when I'm falling down on them from pretty much any height.
I also don't get why the game tries to tell you that Aiden is some mutated superhuman who can do crazy shit, and 10 seconds later plays a custscene in which he gets totally fucking obliterated by some random weak ass lookin NPC dude
You smash zombies head if they don’t see you and kick them if they see you. That’s just a mechanic and it’s not related to controls

Most frustrating thing is that you can’t progress campaigns together in multiplayer. Dying Light 1 would save campaign progress to all players. How is this even a thing in the modern day?
do we want player choices to matter or not? You can't let everyone progress through the story without everyone in game making the exact same choices or without one guy just choosing the entire party's decisions permanently. They kept story progress in DL1because it was a static world and plotline that couldn't change. How do you expect them to load 2 different versions of the same area at once if 2 players decided to give control of a tower to different factions?

Honestly, the Dying Light community is terrible. I've never seen so many nostalgia-fueled fanboys crucifying Dying Light 2 as if it were the worst game of the century. The launch was a complete disaster, but you’d have to be pretty ignorant not to give credit for the fixes. And yes, Dying Light 2 improved on many aspects of its predecessor. The combat and parkour are much smoother and more responsive than before. As for the story... well... storytelling was never Dying Light’s strong point-both games have silly plots with clichéd villains. It feels like most of the community is caught up in a herd mentality, repeating the same tired narrative.
I haven’t played Dying Light 2 yet but I will give credit that Dying Lights story is mediocre. I remember when it released, people were saying Rais is just a Vaas (from FC3) knockoff.
So when the Dying Light 2 trailer came out, I was optimistic that they’d have fixed the story. But what confused me, and put me off buying it, was the “multiple choices” design choice for the story.
If you can’t write a compelling, linear story, what makes you think that it will be better now?
I suspect that this design choice was partly influenced by Chris Avellones decision to come on, since his writing expertise is mainly with RPGs iirc. Or maybe they made that choice and then decided to hire Avellone. Either way, Techland has confused me.
"The combat and parkour are much smoother and more responsive than before" that is objectively wrong. Not even an opinion, it's just wrong.

I tried it yesterday and I still thought it was crap, boring easy to guess what’s next story and floatty un impactful combat and the parkour? Meh. Would play it if I literally had no other choices
As a late comer, I heard that it had a lot of problems at launch. I only came in after numerous patches were made and it was on sale.
@@nujevad28 it took them almost 2 years to finally release numerous patches, it's embarrassing
@@myhead7167 Glad I wasn't there for the worst of it.
I like both DL1 and DL2. I personally played during launch and... Yeah, I dropped it.
I came back a bit after and honestly... I quite liked it. It is really good now. Sure, it's not Dying Light 1, but it's still good imo. I still would have preferred the 2018 version of the game but... Oh well. Hopefully The Beast or DL3 end up being something like that.

This game was the only game I had on my laptop when I was hospitalized, it holds a special place it my heart for keeping me sane on that hospital bed.
“Everyone”? Thats a broad statement lmao I don’t think hate is the appropriate word. Fs. It’s not as great as one as far as how it feels but I don’t think ppl HATE it lmao
Hate 100% is too strong of a word. Disappointed, is maybe more fitting. It was a disappointment compared to the first game. Especially at release.
100% with you on this one.
True I'm playing it again cuz I stopped playing it and when I came back I barely remember anything (It felt disappointing the first time)
It felt hollow and overpopulated and point A to point B Didn't matter enough doing it and now it still feels that way but way less with the new arrangement from the first major updates honestly hate the who player stats layout and the armor weapons if any I woulda love to see less weapons but more ways to survive and craft which is awful in this game who the hell's gives Kurenai so much damage like wtf? 😂😂 Now on my second playthrough it feels better not by much thou 😂😂 like wtf is up with the Kurenai 😂😂
Frustrated's the word for me, but it's exclusively because of the narrative. I actually think it's a blandified QoL-stuffed version of the original gameplay, with a bit too much ubisoftiness around it. But the narrative is driving me so far up the wall you'd think I unlocked that ability IRL.
Like, I will ALWAYS take a dumb but competently written story that has no aspirations and makes no bones about it and has fun with itself than whatever the fuck shithole this story got to pull Barney out of.
"Ohhhh the coppers are sooo bad they...like...uh...kill people! And stuff!" Fuck right on outta here with this preachy nonsense when I was nearly GLEEFULLY AND REMORSELESSLY HANGED by the survivors at the start of the game. And they also bully a disabled old man despite him being an important member, and they didn't have the decency to start acting friendly...

Song at 1:39 is Osmosis by Good Kid
Fun Fact: same people who made the remix of from the start by laufey!

im gonna get flamed for this but i don't really care.
as someone with 1k hours on both dl1 and dl2 i will always prefer dl2 over dl1 for many reasons.
combat in my opinion is more engaging and fun gameplay wise, sure the gore and physics are not as amazing as in the first game but when it comes to feeling and overall gameplay its an improvement compared to the first game especially against human enemies. even at nightmare difficulty dl1 is a snooze fest as you can grab a weapon with 20 damage and still be able to 1 shot half of the enemy types in dl1 with drop attack skill.
Every weapon in dl2 feels alot more smoother and feels impactful example being 2 handed weapons in dl1 were painfully sluggish and mediocre if not worse than most weapons meanwhile in dl2 its one of the best weapon categories in the game. Plus weapon modification is strict in dl1 because your forced to use the highest rarity in order to get the best damage value and are forced to use a specific elemental set from that rarity, at least here you can chose any mods and still be effective against any enemy.
Enemies are alot more smoother to dodge and avoid, volatiles in dl1 have a common tendency of gluing onto you when they start to pounce and human enemies and virals take 0 damage when they start the dodging animation and regardless if you hit them they won't take damage.
While it did have a rocky start, it was at least enjoyable and fun for me in many ways and was a breath of fresh air when it came to core gameplay and mechanics.
The story while not being mindblowing is definitely alot better than the first games predictable story line.
The only complaint i can say is that it is the physics and gore not being the same way as dl1 but that doesn't meant its bad its really good.
CO-OP is something i can't give an opinon cause i don't enjoy playing with randoms and prefer to play alone.
Parkour in dl1 is good but is forgettable because the grappling hook exists and sometimes the parkour itself feels stiff at certain times.
dl2 parkour is a huge improvement and alot more fun and engaging even with the paragliders and grappling hooks its alot more fast paced compared to the first.
Dying Light 2 is a good game but not perfect, there are many things that does right and better and many things that does wrong and worse and the same thing goes with dl1.
When people say *i enjoy dl2 or i love dl2* other people go apeshit and is like *YOU NEVER PLAYED DL1 HOW DARE YOU LIKE DL2 AND YOU MUST BE A FUCKING IDIOT FOR LIKING DL2* and i have seen this occur more than ever.
the number one reason i have 1k hours on dl1 its because of pvp and thats it and if it did not exist i would stop playing at 300 hours ish because there aren't alot to do once your done with the game.
and the number one reason i have 1k on dl2 because of the combat and parkour being extremely engaging as well as Jai's survivor missions.
Even with newgame plus im able to finish the game in many ways because it has a few instinces in the story where the mission or gameplay changes entirely.
I totally agree with you. The people who say the combat sucks and prefers dl1 combat over dl2 don't know what they're talking about
I don’t understand why people hate the gore bro it’s literally the fucn same as dl1 except you can see their brains and teeth

DL2 is upgraded Dl1 and its amazing. They are just judging by the slow start and are blinded by nostalgia cause they're not nature enough not looking at it objectively but emocionaly like little kids or women even though they are already adult by the number. But mainly they are just consumers and as I said they evaluates based on their emotions and cannot look on games objectively (what pros and cons games itselves contains.)
12:50 You're probably being sarcastic (or braindead) and I understand the whole sentiment. But dude, this game has much better parkour, OST, graphics and open world traversal. I personally walked through the whole game 3 times and I can't say I regret it. It does feel very much like Metro Exodus because of all the cut conten, but it's still decent.

Shame we will likely never see what DL2 could have been, but here’s to hoping that Beast will clutch this, otherwise we will likely not see another DL game for a long time.

I played through the game and listened to all of the dialogue in the hopes that at least some of it would be good or that I'd find a gem like Gazi. It wasn't pleasant, but I loved the first game and trusted Techland enough to endure the torture. It didn't pay off, the story was ass.
People complained about DL1's story, that it was too tropey and cliche, and it was. It was bad, but in a campy, fun way, like a cheap slasher horror movie. DL2's story is just bad with no campy or fun aspects.
But okay, fine, I could overlook a bad story if the gameplay and world were great. I played through the first game like 10 times, and I still love dicking around in Harran to this day despite the bad story. But the problem is that DL2 didn't nail that aspect either. The atmosphere is off, it's too colorful and cheery, and it contrasts the bleak and "serious" story too much. The world itself is boring to traverse, there's too little visual variety and too much clutter. The parkour is too floaty, and despite having more moves, it still feels worse to play than DL1's. The only upgrade is the combat against humans.
All in all, DL2 feels like a cheap copy of DL1. Like a team of devs only saw some limited gameplay of DL1 and tried to copy it, managing a passing resemblance without capturing the soul of the game.
If you try the color filter options the map becomes incredibly depressingly bleak, a total 180 but not really in a good way that makes you feel melancholy and say “wow this is deep” like the last of us, more like “can I find something interesting for once”
@Journey_to_who_knows DL1 caught lightning in a bottle with the atmosphere. It wasn't just the bleak colors, but a lot of things like the music, the ambiance, the zombies, and so on. Every once in a while as I run around, I stop to take Harran in and just exist in it for a moment. That doesn't happen in DL2, at least not for me, and it's not just about the colors. Everything about it feels off.
DL2 story is just a soap opera
If they really pulled off those graphics and that legit fire story and the story mechanics they had promised and it was really that detailed and great. This would’ve been one of the greatest games of all time, but nah they failed miserably.
In my opinion, dying light 2's story is a little above mid and the gameplay is amazing, at least rn when it launched it was just bad
I agree the story was so mediocre
@@Meisyou1 only the launch was not good,team bean working on it asking us what to do,they did everything what we want...

The story could have been good if they actually finished it, there are more plot holes and loose ends than the writer has braincels and they tried to hide it with “aiden dips the city LOL” hell I was actually getting invested near the end and then they pull that stunt and none of your choices matter and you don’t find out what happens to anyone. Not knowing someone’s fate can be a interesting plot detail but not in a game that Suggs itself over your choices supposedly mattering.

I disagree, if you are surprised at DL2 being a buggy mess then you clearly never played DL1. I went in expecting Dying Light and I got Dying Light. Setting aside the fact that Techland also worked on the buggy mess known as Dead Island you should NOT be surprised this is a buggy game that barely takes itself serious...
Really wish we got what was promised at e3 this games could’ve been legendary
The free running is fun, it's a shame the story is garbage, they made nights a mess, and the systems we were promised don't work. The DLC is too grindy too.
i feel like they're going to take feedback from dl2 and put it to the beast. it might save its franchise.
It’s the opposite, whatever works in the beast they’re adding it to dying light 2. Which people will still complain about I’m sure even tho the beast looks just like dl2 with slightly better lighting and graphics
Why is everyone hating on dying light 2 its good
Idk, i just finished my first playthrough after it became free on psn, it was pretty good
Never understood why a sequel needs to be completely different.. they got rid of everything that made the first game great, combat? Shit, parkour? Frustrating, story? Shit, graphics? Only good thing. Don’t even get me started on the hud and menu choices.. It had so much potential if they just stuck to the first games mechanics and story telling, but no it had to be new and different. Hope the beast isn’t a flop aswel.
The combat and parkour are infinitely better than 1, and the story, though still a corny mess, is at least more entertaining than 1’s. Did anyone actually rewatch the story of Dying Light 1 in the last few years? It’s awful! Rais is a wannabe Vaas who doesn’t work because Crane isn’t anything like Jason. It’s almost funny because it makes it look like Rais is in his own fantasy world imagining he’s got this Vaas/Jason dynamic with Crane, but Crane’s just getting progressively more annoyed with his pointless rambling. The only enjoyment one can derive from Dying Light 1 comes from irony. Say what you will about Dying Light 2, but at least it has some actually poignant plot moments buried in the corn.
And Aiden and Waltz both namedropping the subtitle and title of the game respectively in dialogue with at most thirty minutes between each other is peak comedy. Even when it comes to ironic enjoyment Dying Light 2 has a better story.
@@Hewasnumber1Respectfully I have to disagree, the parkour made me quit the game a few times, climbing a building was just frustrating, not timing the grapple hook right, being able to jump 30-40feet? then also being able to fly to the top of a building and around the map defeats the purpose of parkour in the first place. Atleast in number one all you had was a grapple hook, which was an end game item and had a limited amount of uses before resetting, forcing you to free climb, and the world was catered extremely well to the simple parkour mechanics. Making it a smooth and enjoyable experience. Not once did I get frustrated I couldn’t time 6 jumps perfectly to get from point A to B. Or not knowing if i can grab that edge.. Just because number 2 has more parkour options doesn’t necessarily means it fits.
Next the path ways you can take in the story.. it pretty much forces you to google what the best option is to get a half decent ending, now I’m not saying the story is inherently better in number 1, but the linear way they did it made more sense, like the last of us, it made it more immersive, having to think for every dialog choice completely breaks up the experience. Hense why they’re going back to a linear story for the new game.
The combat is clunky and full of bugs compared to number 1, enemies rag doll physics are horrible, they teleport towards you, same animations for basically everything and yea.. I also never got exited to find a good weapon, they’re everywhere, felt like an easy sandbox arcade game compared to the first.. for me the only hard part throughout the entire game was fighting Walt’s at the end. Night time isn’t scary, zombies aren’t scary, humans are annoying to fight (same as the first but they weren’t overly clunky and buggy) and parkour is just.. idk man its not my cup of tea, only thing I thought was better is the graphics enhancements. Anyway each to their own.
@@dunno6442 The only broken item in Dying Light 2 is the paraglider. Don’t use it if you don’t want to. Or at least use it less. And the grappling hook is a midgame item at best if you actually bother to do side missions. You actively have to avoid unlocking it to make it an endgame item.
And why are so hung up on getting a "good" ending. Let me tell you, the story is way more enjoyable if you get a bad ending. My experience with the story is way more positive than DL1 because I got the second worst ending in the game because I went out of my way to roleplay as Aiden, and made choices based on what I thought was the best way to find Mia. I tempered altruism with my goal of finding her, and I traded loyalty for skepticism. I sided with whoever I thought would be the most convenient way forward, which made my game way more intriguing, and gave me a lot of emotionally poignant moments. It’s still Dying Light writing, but I was more invested in Aiden’s journey than Crane’s because my Aiden was a conflicted person trying to navigate the city’s politics to get what he wanted.
@@Hewasnumber1 You pretty much need the paraglider to get around because of the map design, relying souly on the parkour makes it annoying because of that, now yes you could get the grapple early in 1 if you sought it out, but you don’t need it to get around efficiently, which is important in a game build around parkour. It’s a privilege item, not a need. and generally the “good” ending is more fulfilling than a bad one for me, I’d rather experience the best story line possible without having to replay the entire game later or RUclips the other outcomes, which again comes down to personal preference, I’m not a fan of the open choice story line role playing side of things, morel of story is I prefer dying light 1, you prefer dying light 2, let’s leave it at that, have a good one 👍
@ You don’t need the paraglider. If anything, not using it makes the world so much more interesting because you have to go up and down and through the buildings to get where you want to go quickly. It leads to a much more interesting parkour experience because the skyscrapers have multiple viable paths through and around them. Sure, the paraglider is necessary for some activities, but for general exploration you’re free to not use it.

I like the current Dying Light 2 more than the first game.
I think this video is based on the wrong part of Dying light 2. You proceed to say that the game is bad, but all you want to do is talk about it's development cycle. I think ur missing the real point and this is just simply hating on a game, that has come a long way. Dying light 2 Reloaded edition was a game changer. Combat felt nice after this, its crisp, responsive and satisfying. It also got a lot of graphical optimizations especially on console. Although the story really is horrible, i do think that in the first game its the complete opposite. And talking about glitches they really fixed tons of things, but then again glitchwise the first game wasnt perfect at the start either and still isn't, but thats not the point. I think people gotta start giving this game a another chance. Hell, maybe it was a development hell at the start, it had a rocky launch, but then again its important to be open minded and give it a chance. Games like cyberpunk was a disaster back then, but still people forgive and gave it another shot and they liked it. I think its the same for dying light 2. I honestly can't compare how the game was on launch and what it is now. Ignoring it is just wrong.
@dowahkin1852 Nah Im not ignoring anything, this is wrong. The game is bad because of the dev cycle and leadership. All of my gameplay footage is from reloaded edition.

Osmosis by Good kid
I played this game through in solo, watched all the cutscenes, and I LOVED IT :( I feel sorry for the people who payed for it and got disappointed, I was happy for my money. And when the end credit song came, I legit cried, I listened to Metric when I was young and I didn't expect it. I can see what people are missing, especially after the first game, and it's expansion, but I can tell that I really love everything that is Dying Light. The troubled development and the Ccksckr Head in Techland is very, very sad, and I wish it was different. I really hope there will be more Dying Light.

Dying light 2 is still a great game, It feels unfinished yes but over dl1 and dl2 I prefer dl2 as I like the parkour aspect of it. The combat of dl1 is unmatched. I always liked the run the fuck away from fights of dl2.

@Alvixity let's be 100 percent fr right now the first games human combat is absolute unfettered ass. Somehow kyle crane is the only mf in the quarantine zone that doesn't get unlimited I frames on dodges, and when I swing it's a 5050 of whether or not it will register. Dl2 beats out dl1 in human combat any day of the week, and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't. It's not that the first game is harder, it's just that the human combat is poorly designed. That's all there is to it.
I just don't like the way they threw away the quarantine aspect of the story. That aspect made it really unique.
Yeah, they just had to throw in a Walking Dead scenario because "ohhh, post-apocalyptic" only to have things run like a really bad section of Detroit (which isn't saying much).
@thientuongnguyen2564 Agreed. Just make another quarantine! Have some political machinations! DL1 was so interesting!
you say all this as if every single character in DL1 didn't speak like an autistic A.I chat bot. the story is bad in both games, but that literally doesn't matter because parkouring across rooftops, and drop kicking zombies literally never gets old. i've put 100s of hours into DL1, and i'm currently 25 hours deep into DL2. most of that time isn't even playing missions. almost every mechanic in DL2 is an improvement over DL1, and i say that as someone who genuinely loved the first game. i think the DL community is going through the same thing as the GTA community where a huge portion of the fanbase refuse to acknowledge the improvements of the latest entry due to hipster syndrome. the people who are incapable of seeing the blatant improvements to gameplay are actively begging for it to regress, because they're blinded by nostalgia. same thing happened when Gta 4 came out. everyone kept saying it was a step sown from San Andreas, but it suddenly became the best game in the franchise once 5 released. i suspect this game will meet a similar fate.
Gameplay is great but they went the PC path with the stories and characters unfortunately.

It feels like i just cant do ANY damage if im not running a perfectly optimized build priortizing stats over everything else. I hate having to upgrade blueprints dozens of times just for them to be useful. I hate having to farm for resources. I hate the stupid shots you need to get to upgrade health and stamina.
There is a lot about DL2 i absolutely love. I love the parkour, i love Villadore especially the inner city, i like the choice mechanics, i love how dark zones are utilized
Theres so much i love but the bad far outweighs the good for me. So much so that i only ever beat the game once and on subsequent attempts ive never even reached the city
Now? I just play dead island 2 whenever i wanna crack zombie skulls
Dying Light 2 being released the eay that it did. I gotta say the developers are doing too much to help it by now. They're spending lots on time and money on a game that is being played as much or less than DL1. CDPR stuck with Cyberpunk because they knew how good of a game that was and it needed to be fixed so people can see it. But that cannot be said with DL2.
Keep up the content brother. These videos keep me hooked lmao. Hope to see some more.
Cry baby there nothing wrong with the game?? Lol
The worst part about this game is that the parkour is good
i have multiple issues with the parkour that put it below dying light 1:
1. the stamina system arbitrarily blocks you from climbing certain structures, you upgrade it by finding meth or whatever instead of doing parkour.
2. too many of the upgrades are "do a comically high jump after doing x" instead of new parkour moves that they were advertising before release (for clarification, they talked about adding many new animations, hinting at new moves unseen in the first game)
3. the environmental design is straight ass - you have yellow paint on ledges and flood lights on sides of skyscrapes telling you the correct (and only) way instead of designers trusting the player's intuition.
4. this is more of a personal preference, but i hate villedor: there isnt enough between street level and rooftops for verticality and the sloped surfaces slow you down in a very annoying way. i love the slums in the first game, everything is built in an organic way where many buildings arent on the same level which makes traversal feel more dynamic.
i really think that dying light 1 and mirrors edge (dont know about catalyst) have much better parkour.
dying light 2 still better than dying light!!
You are not real.
Dying light 2 sucks ass
I am real, also i think that far cry 6 better than far cry 3

okay, i somewhat agree with this video, this game had tons of bugs, but when it wasn' tweaking out with bugs it was decently good.
Absolute W video from a small youtuber.
I loved DL1 but had no idea what was going on with 2, and never played or watched it as the overview was mostly negative from the community. I wish this game lived up to the original, but DL1 will always be my favorite zombie game
I played DL2 and within minutes I can tell they dropped the ball. I didn’t know about the false accusations either.
They should prosecute and double the jail time for false accusations.
In a parallel universe we got the dying light 2018 e3...but thanks to some random women falsely accusing avellone it all fell apart like a deck of cards, now the only thing saving dying light 2 is project renaissance
Wouldn't say I hated it but, it just does NOT hit the same as Dying Light and The Following.
Dang am I the only one who enjoyed the game 💀
Nah, i just finished my first playthrough then got recommended this video lmao. Personally i really liked it. Idk what it was like on release though
@ i was a high dying light one fan so when this one came out I got it immediately I feel like it just wasn’t some peoples cup of tea cause I love all the mechanics
Finally someone who is actually talking about what happened with Chris instead of just glossing over it. This was supposed to be the ultimate zombie game in my eyes when they showed the e3 2018 trailer. Just for them erase 90% of the work and still have an unfinished product after 2 years. Here to hoping the beast and dying light 3 will actually be good. If not it was fun while it lasted
the game feels like it was built with arbitrary criteria instead of passion. many parts of the game are limited with no reason: you need to upgrade every single piece of equipment (with dogshit return on investment in most cases) and parkour is dependent on a stupid stamina bar instead of a much more elegant and subtle system in dl1 where running on flat ground slows you down, but climbing keeps you going. the story is boring and dogshit, but i can see someone having an impression that its technically better than it appears, because of the scale and different choices. most people won't come up with detailed critiques because they couldnt be bothered sitting through all that. i have played through the first game more than 5 times and there are many issues i found in the story, but the one thing i cant fault is the premise: being a secret operative sent in a quarantine zone is an infinitely more engaging intro than some fallout 4 ass "i need to find family member" story thats been done to death
I dont care what anyone says dying light 2 fucks hard.
I see You’re having fun playing this game
