Why Dying Light 2 Is So Awesome … and Disappointing

The dude just doesn't know that with the departure of Chris Avelon and 50 other employees from the techland studio, dying light 2, starting from 2020 to 2022, was castrated beyond recognition, and the mission where we have to enter the renegade lair and free the water was generally in the middle of the game, and not the final mission before the finale. Because in the original story, we could have sided with the renegades and already at the end we could sneak into the peacekeeper fortress and arrange a massacre there, and only then go to x-13 and kill Waltz and his Alpha zombies there.

Didn’t you shout out dying light 2 as a sponser lol

did he just praise the yellow markings around the world... ?

Thoughts on new dying light game with kyle crane coming back?

Act maam ahh title

I feel like they tried going big with this game before they realized timelines and finances wasnt going to allow it

I think after 2 years, there are no performance problems, i can say. I can easily get 120fps in FHD shadows normal, everything max except all off that does blur or distort the image. Not always 120 but if i enable FSR i can get even more (yes i am on AMD RX 6600XT).

Best game I’ve ever played. I feel like a pilot from titanfall 2 😂

There is nothing awesome about this game....stop

Huh? The music in DL2 was terrible. Not even close to DL1 tracks

This game looks SO BAD visually compared to the first one

Aiden isneither passionate or diverse.
He is bland unremarkabke and a lukewarm outmeal.
Lawan is unbelievebly annoying.
Waltz is evil bad guy number 1538362 who just so happens to at the last 5 minutes to turn out to have a tragic blah blah blah.

Dying light 1 soundtrack not interesting? Mate the theme is iconic

I find it mind blowing that you liked this story better than the original and Aiden better than Crane

Are you still giving away those tickets?

“A great game with major flaws” sounds exactly like DL1 to me. I’ll have to try out DL2 then, thank you for the review!

The thing i HATE the most in this game is that in first game, i got used to jumping over zombies to get past them, because they stumble so easily, in this game however, zombies are literally an area, in which you get constant damage, and if you try to jump over them, you get stuck in the air for no reason, taking damage, unable to move. Its really annoying when you're roaming around, and then a zombie makes you stuck in the air, and you cant do nothing other than just die.

I don't think it should be that hard to make zombies behave like zombies, especially if they did it in last game perfectly.

And the zombie grab... dont even get me started on that. i didnt have a problem with that in the first game, but here its the worst mechanic possible

Hii! Could you try DL2 again now ? It got sm better bc the devs listenned to the community and fixed everything that was bad and made the game so awsome!! It got like 10x better (and scarier)

so many pros but it still lives in the shadow of its big brother

I love the DL2 soundtrack but I think DL1 has one of the best musical scores in any of the games I’ve played.

I think the overall review is fair on all points.

It annoys me that everyone thinks that dying light 2 is the worst, dying light 2 at launch, was pretty bad, but it was fun. Yes there were alot of bugs and glitches but it was still fun. The parkour is very fun, although the combat wasnt the best, but they have fixed many of these things since then. Ive stuck with techland, and they always make their games good (sooner or later). Dying light 2 isnt bad, not at all. Just the community has standards (because of dying light 1) and techland is trying to do something new. Although, dying light 2 is really now, a parkour game with zombies, techland has really made this game alot less focused on zombies. But in dying light 1, it was a zombie game with parkour. I think that for the future of dying light, they should make the game a zombie with very good parkour. Eitherway, the game is really good just there is some flaws that can be fixed easily. Also, the community has a high standard but techland is trying new things so its not fair to keep this a standard. Techland has been really good at answering the community.

You should do a re-review on this game

Hey, we do not know each other but I would like to tell u that despite all the bad that you have done in your life, GOD still loves you and wants you to be with him (GOD), all yoi must do is to trust in Jesus like how he would trust in parachute when jumping out of a plane and you must be willing to turn from your wrong doings and do what is right❤❤❤

Biased review, stop sucking techland off. ⚠
like damn... You're really nitpicking everything.
Alot of people, and I mean alot of people think the game sucks. infact more people play dyinglight these days than dyinglight 2.
You undermind the whole fanbase biggests problems with the game, you use alot of your own opinion to hide all of it and then on top of that, the game has ZERO replay value.

You're review should be shamed almost because even tho you have alot of great points in it, you're trying to hide the bad in a sea of false goods.

Heyhey, the optimisation has been "fixed", i can run the game on max settings + rtx with a 4070 and my mate with a 2060 can run it on medium settings without bad lag. I have refunded the game earlier due to bad performance but when i returned i was pleasantly surprised

Kyle Crane is way better than this Main Character for sure lol

the map is terrible, it's an ai generated copy paste. Looks like fortnite too

I can't agree on Aiden being better than Kyle.

To hAve the BEST day/night system by far in gaming in general, with daytime exploring gameplay while at nighttime being hunted (and gaining bonuses) by terrifying uber predators , that you would have to work REALLY hard to avoid.... Just to tuurn it into THIS? whoever made this descision at techland, i pray for your sould because this will get you into hell

Can you return and review pls it’s a WHOLE different game

You should revisit the game because of all of the updates

bro said the story was amazing in his other video lmaoooo

Idk man I think your pretty off the mark. My opinion. DL2 was 1 playthru and I don’t enjoy it anymore. Missed the magic of DL1. Human enemies suck and that is the worst part of the game. It’s not fun. No guns sucks. Binoculars are still bugged years later.

Honestly, I wish the original creators got to keep working on it. From the first trailer leak, it got me amazed even after playing hours of DL1. The atmosphere, parkour, tools, everything got me so hyped. Then when I played it, I missed the old one. I despise the RPG combat with humans when some can take bombs and slashes, and the not so dark and frightening nights. There was so much potential, but everything got so messed up.
I do love this game, I just wish it got to stick with it's original style and story, not with whatever state it is in now.

I watch this video in 2023 and I am really impressed that Techland solved nearly all problems you mentioned.

WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT THE DL1 SOUNDTRACK

My main gripes with the game is that they changed stuff that didn't need to be changed compared to the first game.
-Volatiles dont patrol the streets anymore.
-The overwhelming focus on living people instead of making the infected the real threat.
-The fact that night time is extremely safe. You have to go out of your way to make is threatening.
-Chases dont happen naturally. They come down to Howlers spotting you... even if you kill them before they scream, the chase still happens. I assume because they spot you so the chase happens automatically.
-The chase is like a GTA wanted level. You dont get volatiles until chase level 3. Which is dumb.
-The enemies that tie into the level system. Instead of new skills allowing you to kill zombies in different ways, you just level up and brute force your way past them. In the first game, you had to rely on your environment a lot at the start. In DL2, you are either very over levelled for old areas or too under levelled for new areas which gives the game an artificial barrier. Its not to make it difficult, it is to block the play from exploring where they want to without instantly dying. Also, shooting someone in the head and them either not instantly dying... especially them taking little damage is stupid. So stealth is basically pointless in this game.
-NO WEAPON CRAFTING - This was a massive sin. You had to buy weapons instead of scavenging parts and creating new stuff.

Thank you for this review. You made a video that's exactly what I'm looking for. A review that isn't hate filled and so against the game in every shape and form. I'm hoping you'll do an updated version with the patches and soon to be dlcS

Worst part of the story was Lawan

No offence but i can only listen to you pronounce the end of your sentences over and over for so long,no one talks like that. Sorry i just find it annoying. Nothing personal because like i said i doubt how you actually talk to people in real life

bro obviously didnt play the book club x mission

😂 it's like you ate what you said on the pre- release demo

I like both games the parkour in the second one is much more fluid where in the first one it wasn't bad but it did seem a little unrefined and I like the map just a little more in the second one. In DL1 i found myself on the ground more than I liked, and I'm kind of torn between the night. on one hand I like running around with my friend and realizing it's getting dark and freaking out, DL2 it's fairly easy to survive the night if you're careful.

i'll make this quick
i first dying light zombies could fall from ledges and when you broke their bones game was doing x-ray with slow motion
second game doesn't have those would seem BASIC features, even dead island had slow motion on bone breaking hits...
and it is supposed to be "next-gen" the better one...
and it's main hero get's suckerpunched almost every cutscene wich compared to crane who was a badass is lame - i don't want to play as a weak pathetic fool

Put over a hundred hours in loved every hour crazy good time ❤
