    Dying light is one of those games that I’ve always said I loved, but I couldn’t tell you a thing about the story. Also that first time when you’re stuck outside at night is one of the most iconic moments in any game

      @@timfrank7461 how so? It is fictional but would this scenario not play out in the real world? I mean residential evil and other zombie games are just too unrealistic. But dying lights story seems the most realistic. I mean hello bioweapons already exists. Who says they can’t get a different strain of rabies (which is deadly to both humans and animals) and do bio warfare. It’s unlikely but it does exist in the possibilities in our actual world. It wasn’t the best story but I enjoy it way more than DL2

      One time when my sister and brother-in-law came over to my house, I showed them the game and everything and my sister was like "Jesus I don't want to play that at night." so, close to dawn, I removed the music from the game and put "Yakety Sax" on UA-cam, I went to the streets after the volatiles and as soon as dawn came they ran to the caves, escaping, and I beating them with an iron pipe and a piece of wood on it's back while that song was playing, screaming "payback's a bitch, ain't it?" like Russel Casse in independence day. We pissed ourselves laughing so hard.

    Dying Light did something that very few zombie games do. They made their zombies scary. In the Dead Rising or State of Decay series you literally just mow down hordes whereas if I see 3 or more viols coming for me I just run… and I don’t think any game I’ve ever played has a horror section of the game quite like the night time of this game. I truly feared it. When they give you the job of restarting electrical fuse boxes at night I genuinely got so stressed at trying to finish the quest while doing it before the sun came out and not getting caught because I was shitting myself

      @Laneykins Рік тому +6

      I’ve found that State of Decay two in particular hits a good balance. On the easier difficulties all zombies, including the special infected don’t feel like a huge threat. But you turn up the difficulty and you eventually get to the point where stealth is feasibly the only option if you don’t want to die a horrible death.
      The Standard difficulty is great for people wanting a Third-Person shooter zombie survival game.
      The Lethal difficulty is great for people wanting a Third-Person shooter stealth shooter with certain situations making your anxiety go through the roof.
      I find that those two difficulties is the feelings I get during the Day and Night of Dying Light respectively.
      It is a fun First-person Zombie shooter during the day. And the reason why I wear brown pants during the night.

      Nah. In that world, if someone isn't consistently useful to you, they're only dangerous to you. Multiple people proved that to Crane with their rashness too, but he had gotten close to them. Rais's crew weren't close, they were doing what they thought they had to in order to survive.

      The game itself is at best mediocore, that`s why it never made into a "Best of". The only thing the game actually has is the "open world" aspect with parkour involved in a zombie apocalypse. That`s the only thing which makes the game something special, otherwise it doesn`t shine in any other regards.

    Even though these days most people have been playing Dying Light 2, I've bought Dying Light 1 + The Following and finished it for the first time (even though I saw it years ago on yt) and I gotta say - it holds up pretty damn well. The traversal and zombie's ragdoll mechanics give me sooo much fun. The story may not be the best, but it compensates with a charismatic protagonist. I'm proud that this is a product of a Polish studio that has one of their offices in my hometown (Ostrów Wielkopolski). We need more games like this one.

    This game causes sweaty palms unlike any other. There was a side quest where I had to pause, stand up, and move around a bit away from my desk because I was getting so damn anxious lol...
    It’s a side quest where you’re sent to go get these big 10 kilowatt bulbs from the bridge so they can be used at the Tower. Your first thought is “typical side quest nonsense, easy enough, it’s just bulbs…”
    … until you’re told you need to do it at night so you can see which ones are working since there’s a number of them. So, I’m thinking …. okay, that’s crappy, but whatever. I’ve been through the night before, right?
    But imagine: you get to the bridge and forgot that it’s covered in zombies - many packed in one area, looking for where you need to get these bulbs. There they are: high up up top, shining down on the bridge’s roadway, and you are going to have to climb all the way up to get them. Fun.
    You came right before dusk, so night is coming. Right as you’re making your way to the top, hanging off the side, your watch is beeping.
    Once you get there, it’s not a solid platform to freely walk around in back and forth. You have to skirt around the small concrete beams, swaying back and forth to keep yourself straight, and your character is walking out ON to the fixtures to open them and get the bulbs out. When you take one out that’s working, your character is then electrocuted until you move away, but watch your step! Don’t move too much.
    Since a bulb that was used to keep volatiles away is now removed, you start seeing them appear on the map below in the dark areas.
    So there you are, crouched, slowly getting around the beams, taking out bulbs …
    Once you get them on that platform, you realize, “oh … I still have to get more…” and you look up realizing you have to climb up even higher to skirt around the same styled beams again.
    Doesn’t help that there jump-scares with zombies bursting out of the doors up top, causing you to come so close to falling off while fighting them.
    My anxiety was through the roof with that mission. It being so high up paired with the night …. even though it’s just a video game, I still get that sense of vertigo with heights. It makes my palms sweaty and I feel lightheaded like I am actually there. I have to raise my hands up from my mouse constantly to let air hit them and I’m cursing myself with each step forward lol.
    I had never been SO DAMN glad to see a mission say I had completed the task of collecting items so I could zip-line my way off that damn platform lol.
    That missions always stuck with me (along with getting the mayor’s seal in Old Town … creepy place). A mission that just appears as a simple fetch quest became so damn memorable for me...
    Another mission that actually got a laugh out of me was when you go to help Rupert. His wife is in the basement. You’re led to believe this is an extremely dangerous situation, you hear all these noises and have to move around in the dark. A health kit is on the floor out from the door you need to go through, making you think there is something major in there like a volatile …. until you open it, and it’s just the standard run of the mill zombie you can take down with one hit lol. So much build-up.
    Going through replaying the game now and personally think it holds up quiet well. I don’t even like zombie games and am so sick of the genre as a whole, but Dying Light sets itself apart to where it feels like it’s in its own category.

    I personally loved the story of dying light. I loved Kyle's character who showed a lot more development than most gaming protagonists nowadays. I thought he was witty, and he made me laugh more than a handful of times. I also thought the story went perfectly hand in hand with the world you were in during the whole game. That whole "dying light is great but the story sucks" argument is so overdone and people just need to appreciate it for what it is rather than saying the exact same shit everyone else has already said 100 times over.

At the time my parents were going through a divorce and they had bought a big house together shortly before they divorced so I would often fine myself very lonely in a 5 bedroom house with just 3 people in it. (I had a sibling and mother) Anyways, it was a very tough and depressing time in my life but this game really gave me a lot of happiness and allowed me to escape (in a way) the changes in my life that I was dealing with at the time.

His delivery of his lines are supreme and, in my opinion, some of his best work.

    one thing that made esp the end-game more engaging and worked around the Agility-experience issue you mentioned for me was the fact that im extremely reluctant to use things that get consumed. in practice that means that i would almost never use a melee weapon, and a gun only on goons or humans, resorting to getting an enemy to the ground and then finishing them for everything else. this made the combat-encounters much more calculated, as a finisher also leaves you unable to move for a second. the specific placements and formations of biters had to be analysed and taken advantage of.

    I wish more ppl talked about the main protag, crane is just awesome as an avatar for the player, most of the time he sounds reasonable, human in a world with a lot of "caricatures" like rais, i loved how he was just tired of his bullshit and sounded more like he was annoying than a threat

    Even though I like Dying Light 2 more, as it feels like they took what worked great in the first one and made it even better (plus Aiden is an amazing character) , the first game is will always have a special place for my heart. Excited to watch this!

    My friends and I were playing one night and some random dude joined us, dropped high tier boomerang blades, then left the game.
    After we figured out that you can drop and dupe items we were running around at night with decked out boomerang blades and stacks of x99 UV flares. We proceeded to bully the shit out of any volatiles we could find.

    I remember playing the following dlc with my friend on Xbox, it was my first time finishing the following story so I had no idea what to expect even after we did the optional nuke. We chose different paths, my friend chose to nuke the area and I chose to collect the vial, when it got to the revelation of krane turning I felt chills afterward and hearing my friend describe the nuke ending, killing everyone for one chance was definitely a turn

    Haven't finished video, but just passed the rant on goons. The trick I found was hit twice (depending attack speed), dodge back enough to get out of the overhead swing, and jump before the shockwave comes out. Worked 90% of the time, and the times it didn't work was from an interrupted attack.

    Not only is this game worth playing if you’ve played Mirrors Edge and Dead Island, I’d almost say that its better to have played and enjoyed both before ever touching Dying Light, because then and only then will you be able to truly appreciate how two near polar opposites came together whilst never feeling wholly derivative of one or the other. It’s amazing to be able to feel the evolution in mechanics from your own experience, and having both inspirations under your belt will completely transform the way you see and play Dying Light.

    The grappling hook is infinitely usable at late game because you can carry four of them, each with their own recharge counter that continues to recharge even when it is not equipped. So, to break the game, craft four grappling hooks (which don't wear out, IIRC), equip them to each slot, and use your first until it is empty and begins to recharge, then switch to grapple number 2, then 3, then 4. By the time you get back to 1, it will be recharged, and probably has been for a several seconds already. Voila. You are spiderman.

    Although I may be a little late with the advice I still hope it may be useful to someone. If backwards dodges aren't helping with the goon or any other enemy try sideways dodging. You say the goon always hits you even when you dodge but I've always seen that you dodge backwards. Yes, the hitboxes may be broken and way to long but their width is small and you should be able to dodge them pretty easily.

  • @TheLordNugget

    That thing was not a grappling hook. It was the Bathook. Dear lord did I love that thing. Really the best part of the game was killing zombies. I absolutely fell in love with that game. The bathook was physics breaking but it did save my azz a number of times when I jumped off a roof and otherwise would have died but grappling the ground saved me. The story gets far more hate than it deserves. It had a clearly defined villain, good characters, and actual motivation behind actions.
    Edit: OH HELL NAW! Don't tell people to not kill them. THAT challenge is half the fun of the combat. Dear lord, me and my friends had so much fun with it we only did dark zones and GRE facilities in DL2 during the day and the volatiles are MORE boss in the sequel. What made the combat so great was its fluidity and the fact that you had a clear progression from when you were weak and couldn't take on the volatiles to when you were strong AF and on the level of volatiles. You are never so boss yourself that volatiles were weak but you could clearly fight them. They gave decent money and higher level loot too. I mean, I maxed out single hand and two hand weapons in the legend levels as fast as I could because I loved fighting the volatiles. Now, there really wasn't a reason to farm them like in the sequel. DL2 kinda killed the fun of chases and then incentivized farming of the virals, volatiles as well but to a lesser degree.

    Honestly the pvp with the night hunter IS the end game fun. It’s really hard to get into tbh. But once you get the hang of it. It can be so fun and the only thing you look forward too. It’s so fun, that some people even like starting from scratch a new character on nightmare difficulty. Grind the specific gear, items, and consumables to get into the pvp. You start hopping between dlcs, side quests, loot raids, and craft items just so you can get to the PvP. The PvP is hard at to get into though, once you get into it, it almost becomes like a game of rock, paper, scissors. Enemy spits Uv cancel and you didn’t manage to avoid with the shield? Throw flare, he spits suicide bomber goo in the flare radius? You use shield to block the blast. You are getting absolute destroyed? Drink some potions. You wanna use grapple but you gotta cancel mid way to use UV light. If you aren’t switching between side tools on the go and very fast. You will have a hard time. But that’s what makes it so fun.
