#DyingLight #Review
This channel is criminally underrated.
that's why i like every single video and comment at least once in each video, hope it helps. =)
Agreed. Just discovered it. As a gamer that picks up games months if not years after release, I really like reviewers that have really gone through games with a fine toothed comb.
I currently have about 3000 hours in dying light
And your review, is much better than any other ive seen
You portrayed the points of long time players better than anyone could
Thank you
I am genuinely curious. Is there 3000 hours worth if stuff to do? How have you not done everything multiple times?
@@Blasted2Oblivion theres not much to do other than replay the story over and over, but I like hopping in with my friends on nightmare difficulty often because the physics are wonk as shit so you can have some very funny moments
@@TimeToDie-rh1mo Fair enough. I shouldn't really judge anyway. Not after running through mass effect 60+ times to see every variation.
@@Blasted2Oblivion I play most of my games way too much because I dont have any friends close by that want to go anywhere and do things
@@TimeToDie-rh1mo i don't have friends either bro
I remember when I first played this game (after finishing Dead Island) that the gameplay far outshone the story. At least until I did the Following; I agree that it's the best part of the game. Good review, as always.
While in general I liked The Following, the ending retcon of the base game and the need to set up the sequel left a pretty sour taste in my mouth.
@@avozsaj While I didnt like the ending either, I do have to admit it fitted Crane's personality. they wrote him as a guy who has a good heart and just wants to help, so him sacrificing himself to save the others makes sense
@@REALVINERGY Yeah that's fair. On its own it was a really good ending.
Nightmare describes pretty well how it went for me on my first playthrough on that difficulty. Stomping on enemies who are climbing up to me or laying down on the ground was my only effective tool to kill the basic zombies, especially the virals. Actually fighting them at the start was almost impossible, because it just takes too many hits for a zombie to die, which sucks when the weapons break down before the zombie does.
I shouldn't have been so stubborn, but alteast now I can say I beat the game and the dlc on my first playthrough on the hardest difficulty :D (really not worth it)
I found after new game++ was navigating the crafting menu. Once you have everything finding the thing you want to craft (like a weapon upgrade) becomes a a bit of a chore.
I appreciate the level of effort and honesty you put into these videos. You're doing a great job.
#1 thing I look for in a game is atmosphere. It’s why we still play STALKER over a decade after release. I haven’t played any zombie games so if this is an atmospheric zombie game I’ll give it a try.
it's a great game. my advice is to ignore the story and let yourself get lost in the world.
The opening part where you explore the deserted parts of the skyscraper has the best atmosphere since Condemned.
Watching this in preparation of the Epic Games free giveaway!
Thanks for reviewing this game, your reviews are just so informative and helpful!
Saw a sale for this game over the winter holiday while having no idea what it was, but the sheer amount of DLC made me think it must be some multiplayer hoard mode game. Since I enjoy open world titles I might just keep an eye out for a future sale to check it out.
Just got it on sale for $9 on the Switch eshop today, Halloween night 2023. Thanks so much for this review. It really helped me make up my mind.
I just ordered the this game. I'm super excited. Your video is excellent. Thank you for the amazing video. It makes me want to play it that much more. Keep up the amazing work.
What sets this game apart from me is just how much different the power dynamic is between day and night time. I love it. During the day (especially one you get guns) it was a super fun and satisfying power fantasy that makes you feel like an overpowered killing machine. But during the night cycle the tables turn completely and it because a super tense survival game. It feels almost like 2 different games. The only other game I can think of off hand that has a similar system is Metroid Dread with the e.m.m.i sections feeling kinda like the night cycle in dying light.
Then there is the map diversity. The base game has 2 towns that play very different from each other and then on top of that "the following" expansion is more or less an entire new campaign in a totally new map that is even more drastic of a change.
This game is just special. Nothing feels quite like it. And the amount of love and support the devs gave this game over 7 years is something you almost NEVER see is the videogame industry.
Regarding difficulty, I would personally recommend Hard even for the first playthrough and Nightmare if you're doing coop. At least for everyone reasonably adept at this type of open-world action game. One of the most important aspects of the game is nighttime and the threats and opportunities it presents and to truly make the most out of it and the rest of the game too, I think Hard/Nightmare is the way to go. That might also partly "fix" the assault rifle being too powerful. The unfortunate thing is that zombies might feel too damage spongy at times if you haven't crafted/found great weapons, but I think the overall experience is improved regardless.
I also think you could have focused a bit more on the parkour in the review. I think that is by far the best part of the game. The nighttime chases for example are extremely tense and scary at first and incredibly fun later as the initial scare factor runs out, but either way a great experience.
Anyways, a good review. I recently found your reviews and I have to say 100% reviews is an interesting gimmick and you do it well. Subscribed.
Maaan I struggled with this game won story mode, especially in the second open world map where you'd get more special zombies asnd humans to fight you...I can't even imagine how impossibly difficult hard or nightmare would be.
I have just bought the definitive edition, I know the game is great.
But here I am I just love the confirmation bias :D and your videos in general
Goal to self - become your steam friend for no reason :p
I picked up enhanced edition as well for fairly cheap price on discount. Also being a miser/hoarder I never used guns and kept them for later use so I always used melee and my pacing felt much more better. I've not played the following but after your review I'll probably just keep on avoiding guns
The Following is even better than the main game imo. So worth it.
This game still looks incredible today!
Gotta disagree with you about hellraid it's the most worthwhile dlc in my opinion just based off the weapons you can get to help you in the main game when I start a new save I always do a bit of he'll raid first so I can start out using weapons like the foul blade rather than the junk you get at the beginning like the table leg plus corrupted justice is much easier to unlock than that darn bozak bow
Hearing you talk about how great the melee combat is in this game makes me super sad about the direction they took the sequel 😢
So i bought the definitive edition of this very recently and a complaint i have about it is that like all these games that give you op gear from the get go, ruins the natural game progression. Like i stumbled into hellraid not knowing what it was, did 30 mins worth and was able to buy unlocked weapons in the main game which are really strong. Then i passed the point in the campaign where you finish the prologue and allll of the dlc crafting options became available.
Good review, and as always to the point. Good Lord, bought the Game in 2015, The Following 2017... played for 7 Hours, to never picked it up again. Because I'm a scaredy-cat. Maybe I give it another try in the Daylight, in a fully lit room, and the volume way down. ;-)
I liked almost everything about the expansion set EXCEPT the ending :-D
I just hated it but it i can appreciate the move that the devs pulled on us there.
The gameplay and open world stuff in this game is definitely immsensely fun.
Wait, there was DLC? I must have missed it. Really enjoyed this game, was great fun with friends.
Seen you playing this for the last week or so and was wondering when this video was going to come out :)
This game is in my top 5 games of the past decade
One of the dlc gives you a silenced assault rifle that you can access incredibly early in the game and it completely trivializes the combat, pair that with the grappling hook and the whole thing is just a breeze (and incredibly fun). Still one of the better zombie games I’ve played.
16:08 I agree. The same is it with Fatshark games, Vermintide 2 has so much DLC, it looks like a Free2Play game for me. And Dark Tide, which I was super interested in is in an awful state a couple months after launch still... but all is good as long as the Cosmetic Store works! Ugh. Only now, when the Steam reviews are MIXED they sprung to action.
I completely agree about the melee combat. I think it is the best first person melee combat system. If Skyrim had a similar system it would be pretty much a perfect game. I'm my opinion at least.
I had no idea this was single player.
For some reason, the Platinum (Definitive) Edition is cheaper than the Enhanced Edition when they're both on sale (like a 2 cent difference, but it's just funny that getting more stuff is cheaper).
lol, I just got this game a few weeks ago, but it’s still in the wrapper. I guess I’ll rush to it if it seems good.
One of the reasons why I feel the melee combat feels so satisfying is because of the gore and the limbs you can hack off
That was very informative. Thanks!
Just a note, TL specified the term "monster" instead of zombie as they're mostly alive (and aware) but just infected/mutated, that's why they can still talk.
That said, excellent review and I appreciate that you 100%-ed the game at all!
Not normally interested in zombie shooters but Dying Light 2 looks like it has a surprisingly interesting story.
Im intrigued by your statement about how much you disliked the second half of the game. I actually found it fairly even all the way till the end fight, which i found terrible. I agree on the arenas, especially the first one when you dont have enough skill points to make it fun, but the escape afterwards is pretty fun. What exactly drove you to dislike the second half? I'd love more details.
Definitely agree with you about the following though. Loved it through, and while i enjoyed the main game, the following just did it better. (Did you launch the... um thing... dont want to leave a spoiler)
The game is on sale now 60% of the enhancement edition or whatever is called and 70% off the platinum edition just bought it on xbox don't know if it's on sale on PS tho
I feel like you did yourself a bit of a disservice by using firearms so much ;p
I personally always have one of those rifles in my weapon wheel at all times, but nine times out of ten, I try to kill using parkour abilities or melee combat. Makes things much more interesting, especially since playing on anything above normal personally feels too obnoxious to tolerate.
The fact that so many guns are around brings great peace of mind, but of course it's up to the player how they want to handle each encounter :3
As somebody who's played through the game to 100% almost a dozen times split between every platform that it exists on, I definitely agree with a solid majority of your video! It's still my favorite game, but not one that anybody should buy specifically for the story ;p The gameplay rocks all kinds of socks, and I respect Techland a great deal! :3
Just picked this up on sale for Xbox series s. Love the game, but honestly it gives me motion sickness. Can’t turn off motion blur on this first one. Considering the second one, just because it seems they fixed some stuff.
Thanks because I was confused after I beat the campaign mode I was going around doing this mission thinking the game was continuing but now I know that I have to play the following I already beat the hell raid and I don't like it that much
@Mortismal Gaming You should give Monster Hunter World/Rise a 100%. I find it to be more RPG than most "RPG"s out there!
Since you 100% this, it would be interesting to also know what achievements you struggle with most and how you overcame it. Since you 100% so much, you must know some good tricks!
I'd like to hear that too! I wonder what he would think the toughest achievements were! Sheesh I cannot imagine 100%'ing a game, especially this one. What a freaking trooper.
I wanted to jump into this but its still 30fps on ps5 :(
and didn't really want to just buy it again for PC
hyped for the sequel tho :D
What do you think about Dying Light 1 vs 2 now that you 100%’d both
This game made me wish so bad that every game had a dropkick with physics.
To bad dragon age origins did not have that dlc problem.
Great review! not my cup of tea but intresting nonetheless =)
I wasn't fan of the game. The open world is good but disliked the melee combat where you running out of air constantly and a QTE with every movement or kill you make. Parcours was okay but even there misjumps happen too frequently.
great review
Can you review Vagrus
Not any time soon, but maybe at some point
To be honest with you...sounds like POSSIBLY your achievement hunting is destroying your enjoyment of some of these games...kinda funny as I am sure it started out with a great way to enhance them...yet as many things eventually go sour with over-use...I have 43 years of video gaming in...ever since its been a commercial thing...I have ALWAYS avoided illegal things like hacking 100%, and also other things that are completely acceptable legal like achievements for almost all my games. Just to do something different, I MAY just pick one game I really enjoy to 100%...after all so MANY pros like yourself do it, so maybe I also will have at it to see some enhancement to my games.
dying light was one of those games that could have been masterpiece tier, but stumbled on the easiest parts, while getting the hard parts right. it's hard to hate the game, as it's one of the most addictive open world games i've ever played, but it's also hard to love it, because its story is so stupid and the dlc was abysmal.
nice
I was not a fan of the parkor and got my money back for that game.
Mortis would basically vanish for 6 months trying to 100% Dying Light 2 from the sounds of it.
Probably about two months, I'll likely have to work on other things at the same time like I did with WotR
Harran actually exists but it's not a modern city like in the game.
It's not the same place, the place in game is just named Harran as well, there's a disclaimer on start up and everything
My most played game EVER
Better than dead island. More like reinvented in current gen consoles
Great game
free comment.
Hey Mortim, I beat Kingmaker. So for every one game I beat you’ll beat 50 😂
Still a feat, kingmaker is long as hell
@@MortismalGaming Ikr? especially that Kingdom management. It would be a good system if it didn’t constantly take up so much of your time. Making that feature so demanding was a mistake imo.
1 and 1/2 months till WotR comes to PS5 though :) From your videos and my own research WotR might be the best RPG ever made. So excited!
Harran is a real city in Turkey. zombies and shit are for sure fictional though
Are you sure the zombies are fictional? Have you seen Harran lately? Some zombies might have moved there since you last saw it. Teehee
There is a city named Harran, it is not this city in game. The 'this is a fictional place' message at the beginning confirms that. There's a Paris, TN but it's not THE Paris
that was painful to watch u strugle at parkour fever, but overall great vid
Completing the parkour fever challenges was hands down the hardest part of the 100% for me lol
the expansion too?
0:59
You should leave time stamps in your videos man 👍
This game is eh. Cult following but its not that fun in 2022. Dying 2 looks promising.
Personally, I think the story is terrible, none of the characters are interesting and the dialogues are horrendous. The gameplay completely carried this game. Haven't played the dlc though.
Dude 7 das?🤣
.
Thank you for the specific recommendation on an edition/bundle to grab. I definitely did get overwhelmed in the DLC bundles trying to figure out which I could see my self enjoying. I appreciate the specifics! 🫡🫡
