Guns should exist, but in such distant future, the won't be any ammo left, so they should make it truly special, guns would be common (always broken to not make it too annoying to own many useless weapons but still present for realistic purposes) but they should let the possibility for the character to find secret hideouts where there will be around 2 magazines for a simple hand-gun. Thus making guns similar to the BFG-10000 in DOOM : a way to get out of an impossible situation.
wow, excellent video you pretty much sold me a copy, I didn't even realized they removed guns from this game, I think having guns for the later levels might be good, in sparingly short supply of ammo, I also agree about removing the the mini map. when i used to play GTA liberty city after awhile you learned all the locations and crevices alleys and such so you didn't need the mini map which made getting away from the cops and doing timed missions much easier by navigating by land marks alone. (( subscribed! ))
How much did they pay you creators to read this script they handed out? Like seriously 3 of you guys are explain this game word for word😏 definitely reading of a script written by the Dev team's PR squad.
If there’s stealth in the game then the bow needs to be that strong. If you shoot an enemy in the head while in stealth mode and they still have them alert you it would be terrible.
I don't love the health bars on zombies visually, but at the same time it's kind of useful because in the first game I got annoyed by not knowing how many hits each weapon needed to kill basic zombies. It's an interesting balance. Hopefully there's an option to turn them off.
I prefer having no health bars for the Zombies or people, it kind of makes it feel more realistic and immersive. And I think that taking away guns is a good thing too. They were very op in dl1
The only thing i would need the health bars is during day but it would be gone once it becomes night because you can see their levels and it kinda takes away the horror of it
that’s exactly what i was thinking. in my opinion it’s more of a thing where each person can choose whether or not they want to cruse though enemies using a bow.
Yeah, if they wanna nerf it, imo they should either make the reload much slower (atm looks like an arrow just teleports into the bow) so you can only kill 1 or 2 humans before having to engage, or decrease the accuracy. I think this would be a much more fun weapon, something which does a lot of damage but needs precision
@@hunterhutchings2784 well luckily this isn't cod otherwise guns would be to overpowerd against other online players but in a zombies game that luckily doesn't matter
@@DaSourOrange That’s one thing that immersion breaking and not to mention annoying as fuck. There is nothing I hate more than having to shoot a zombie multiple times in the head. One head shot is what it should take simple. That’s the whole point of zombies.
When it comes to UI , Id say giving players the option to customize every aspect of the HUD to their satisfaction is the key. I should be able to remove/ display healthbars or turn on/ off icons , according to my preference.
Yeah and allowing dynamic UI would also be great. Like for an example, I don’t need to see the weapon/equipment icon on screen the whole time but when selecting them, it would be great to see what I’m selecting. Or if I’m just exploring, HUD could just be off completely or have only the compass on screen.
The UI does seem super cluttered. Especailly with the prompts all over the place on everything. At the bare minimum I think they should remove health bars for at least your average fodder enemies and zombies. I get having them for some of the larger enemies and bosses, just so you have some idea of how much damage you are doing to them. But then again this could also be done through visual queues by just actually having the enemies become visibly damaged. Now that I think about it, this game probably could have benefitted a lot from a damage and dismemberment system for the enemies.
I'm hoping they add some up customization so you could maybe remove things that you don't particularly like, for example I like the health bars on the enemys but I don't like all the quest markers all ove the screen so if I could I would like to add or remove what I wanted
@@zachthebrave8100 trouble is when the game is designed around visible healthbar.. then removing it is gonna be only a half solution, but if you cant chop the zombie up to visually see how is his health, then it's gonna be troublesome.
NOTE: TECHLAND DID NOT PAY ME OR PREVENT ME FROM SHARING ANY NEGATIVE OPINIONS ABOUT THE GAME. A lot of people keep mentioning that I am not critiquing the game enough. Techland didn't tell me that I couldn't critique it and I genuinely didn't find many flaws with my experience playing the game. Many creators base their reviews off of what other people say, but I don't do that so I wrote this video without watching any other DL2 reviews other than the generic IGN one. I am a huge fan of the Dying Light franchise and these are my honest thoughts that I wrote down in my notes while I was at the event. So yes, I do have a bit of bias due to how much I love the first game, which could definitely allow me to MISS some things that other people find negative, but I definitely didn't see many problems with it. Again, this video is just talking about my thoughts and what you hear is exactly what I was thinking.
Hey RoboKast, I've noticed in the game trailers that when the characters vaults or jumps he kinda stays in the air a lil bit longer as if the gravity was weaker. Did you notice anything like that when you were playing?
Guns haven't been fully removed. What do you mean, you will be able to build a Rudimentary Shotgun and there is the Scorpio that shoots like harpoon things still. (Loved the video though)
Just guns being in the game doesn't automatically make the game easier. Guns could certainly be balanced in a way in which they aren't super OP, probably through ammo scarcity since high health and bullet sponges wouldn't work well with the melee combat. It would make sense with the setting as well. But yeah, just having guns in the game does not immediately make the game easier if the game is properly balanced around those guns. The issue in the first game was just that it wasn't. I'm assuming the lack of guns is explained through just the scarcity of the post-zombie world, but there are literally more civilian-owned guns in America than there are people. It would take quite a while before we completely ran out of guns and ammo. That being said I would be more bothered if there were no ranged weapons at all. Since there are still other ranged weapons and clearly the game is designed around guns not being a thing, I'm not too bothered by it. But I would like it if there were at least a few guns as super rare late-game items.
While I agree with you in terms of guns making things easy aspect, I personally think bullets would be extremely wasted during a zombie apocalypse. Definitely since most civilians don’t know or aren’t experience with guns. An average American civilian would waste 70-80% of their bullets on top of the 20-30% that actually hit a zombie won’t necessary mean it’ll kill a zombie
@@ngythe1king still has a whole lot of advantages over trying to kill a zombie with a melee weapon. The average person isn't going to be very keen on being anywhere near that close to zombie to attack them. Ranged weapons would have enormous value. You also underestimate the sheer quantity of ammunition that's out there. Even if all of it was gone, people would still be able to handload old brass and reuse it. And it wouldn't be that difficult to make new bullets. Still basically the last thing a normal person would want to do is put themselves within biting range of a single zombie much less a whole group of them. Also it's important to remember that we aren't really talking about "most people" in such a scenario. "Most people" in such a scenario are *already zombies* , those who are still alive are likely the ones who were able to effectively use firearms and other weapons to protect themselves. Or at least were capable of making good enough choices not to end up as a zombie. Sure in the beginning there would be a lot of ammo wasted, but those who survived would likely become at least competent with firearms relatively quickly and I am sure they would understand the value those weapons had and therefore the value that each bullet has. I mean there is a reason that ammunition was the currency in games such as Metro. While obviously the circumstances would vary significantly depending on where in the world you are, at least when it comes to the USA guns and ammo would be quite abundant for at least a couple decades. As of 2018, the USA was 4% of the world's population but possessed 46% of all civilian owned firearms in the world. At the minimum it would take multiple decades before firearms and ammo would become so rare that people would transition to melee weapons. That's assuming that people ever really would and wouldn't just use bow and arrows or build repeating crossbows Joerg Sprave style. When dealing with zombies ranged weaponry will always be in demand just due to the threat that zombies pose and how they attack.
The game takes place in a european city, i live in europe so i know that the only guns you ever see here are double barreled shotguns used by hunters or (if you are very unlucky) a handgun used by a criminal pointing it at you. And even then you have a bigger chance of getting stabbed if you ever ran in to someone with bad intensions.
My only complain is the health bars on enemies. If it was for bosses, that would be understandable. But seeing health bars isnt that really helping me more immersed into the game. Example, lfd1 and lfd2 in comparison with back 4 blood. In lfd series, everytime i shoot once at zombie with a high caliber rifle. I was quite surprised seeing that zombie still alive and quite angry. But in back 4 blood, seeing all the health bars is just kinda more arcade to me. It's more of a distraction than anything imo. Edited : great news! It can be turned off, good to know that techlands listen to peoples feedback.
I also dislike the counter argument being ''It's a toggle on/off, don't worry about it''. I just don't feel like this type of feature belongs in a game like this. In DL1, I loved the tension of rushing to kill a zombie, unknowingly sure if the zombie was close to death before another one would approach you. Having a health bar above enemies and directly knowing if I should continue to attack completely removes alot of the suspense. Also, immersion good. Still excited for DL2
@@goncaloalmeida5301 I forgot to say this in my original comment: If they do keep the feature, I'm totally fine with that. I just wish it was reversed (No healthbar by default, still have the option to toggle it on). I know that's specific but I would prefer it that way
The hud is my biggest complaint, I loved the old minimalistic feeling, so I wish the HUD could be toned down a bit, or even better make alot of the extra bits appear when using something like survivor sense from the first game, example being the objective markers/health bars, especially those button prompts for "RB, RT etc".
@Split That’s such a brain dead response. Realistic isn’t a good argument? Of course it fucking is! It’s a gritty, dark, realistic game thematically and narratively, why wouldn’t it be realistic mechanically? Ruins the game with a disconnect otherwise. There also just isn’t an excuse for poor, floaty animations. It isn’t a matter of subjective taste, it’s just straight up bad. Ignores the twelve fundamentals of animation and first person anti-motion sickness concepts. Your bias clouds your judgement. I loved the first game and I want this to be good too, but ignoring criticism is never the answer, especially when a lot of people have issues with these aspects. Not our fault your opinion is trash, just get better reasons for liking something, it’s not hard.
@Split You know, I actually quite liked some of your points here. Those are some solid examples that kind of nullify my argument. I still personally detest the floaty parkour, but I think a high FOV and mouse and keyboard will hopefully alleviate that. And yeah I think I see where you’re coming from with the ‘realism’ argument. I also kind of hate it when droves of people fall back on a flawed, easy to defend point, kind of like the ‘It’s a beta’ or the ‘It’s early access’, not a fan of those either. Start of your response was kind of dumb, name call me for using your own words and then say I’m the one not being civil. But I at least appreciate you elaborating on your point, which is what I was looking for. Have a nice day. Edit: Also, fuck you man I thought RDR2 was a great game!😂 Straight up though I really don’t have a problem with that games animations at all, I loved what little RDO provided, some of the most immersive content on console.
@@asmodeus235 Yes But its still not realistic in terms of the Jumping. Plus relastic movment can make a game less fuild. Witcher 3 had this issue when running And it felt weird in terms of how responsive it was. So if they make it realstic you run risk of making it feel unresponsive.
Firmly disagreeing with the Slums and Safezone argument, I feel the Slums were heavily varied with business-sections, Small beaches, Claustrophobic Slums (as to be expected) and more Rural areas, While the Safehouses (I feel) were very fun and varied! Some were houses, Others were Towers, Antennae, Tunnels, Etc. With a handful of Infected to clear out to make it feel challenging.
Yeah, replaying through dying light recently has made me think about the layout of the map and how fun it was to traverse with all of the different abilities. I really do hope this game doesn't take away that aspect of the first one.
slums was so much fun, i constantly found new areas and extra things added in. i love coming back to playing dying light just to experience new things!
Honestly, it felt very unbalanced and you could just wipe out hordes with an assault rifle before running out of ammo. Removed any sort of fear when going out at night, not to mention.
@@itsty-ler yea, unless u fought gunned soldiers it woud be hella hard to get a lot of them, not to mention that ive mostly gather ammo by buying it then finding it cause its so rare
The HUD is customizable btw for anyone wondering or worried about it plus in this early build it's very likely everything in the HUD was put to maxmium size
I agree DL1 music very extremely good, but the new composer has worked on music in games like Plague Tale: Innocence which was also an incredibly immersive experience, hopefully will be the same with DL2.
@@tennisman191 DL 2 iam sure will be a good game but i dont think it will be as good as DL 1 even the graphics look cartoon like the gameplay is arcade like iam waiting for a review
I don’t think many people know just how innovative and good the controls and movement and combat at the core of Dying Light is. If you played the Hellraid DLC or go back and watch videos from when they were originally making Hellraid as a game - there is massive potential there. Taking that and putting it into a new setting like a dystopian future that returns to Medeival Era Dark Ages with Zombies and Monsterous creatures is such a great premise. I hope they pull something incredible off.
An arrow to the head will kill someone, that's normal. If you're talking about balancing, I'd be thinking about arrow quality or types of arrows, headwear that protects the head from... Well everything, arrows included and the quality of the bows itself. Inaccurate shots could be considered but it's going to have the criticism that all "chance" games have. I will give it the benefit of the doubt that if they do implement it with great execution and do something nice for the game.
Absolutely, don't know if you've played Kingdom Come: Deliverance but that game handles the bow and arrow well in terms of balancing, in my opinion. Technically they're the most powerful in the game, one shot to the face and even the toughest enemies are down, but managing to actually hit skin through all the plate armour or chainmail is where the challenge lies. I'd love to see that kind of hit detection implemented, where the game takes into account where exactly you hit them with your arrow/weapon and deal the damage accordingly.
The parkour looks extremely floaty, almost like its the space mode event in dying light 1 more recently. It's looks like gravity is different here lol. Really my only complaint tbh though everything else looks fun
@@keksoslav1743 his bodie has abilities of infected, like super strenght, super jump and survivor instinct (the one that shows you what is near like loot or enemyes)
And luckily for players, HUD can often be messed around with in the options menu. So I bet things like healthbars and UI clutter can be turned off easily
I’m definitely looking forwards to DL2, but there are a few things I wish were different. A big one is the HUD and UI, I feel that the DL1 UI was pretty spot on, not too complicated or overly detailed, easy to navigate (except for the crafting menu at times), and a general good look to it. The DL2 UI looks sorta dingy and very much out of place in my opinion. Another criticism of mine is the complete removal of guns. It just doesn’t seem realistic to me. I feel it’d be both more realistic and more useful in gameplay to have just a few guns scattered across the map and just a little bit of ammo (like < 30 rounds in the whole game) scattered and locked behind levels and missions so as to not permit stockpiling. This would make it really rewarding to find, and allow for a really useful tool, one to two hard hitting shots and then back to the knives it is. I suppose this could be comparable to a mini nuke and fat man in Fallout 4, though more scarce and less accessible at any one point in the game. A third is user created content, DL1 has a great map editor and I had some good times making maps on it and trying to recreate real-world places in it. Hopefully DL2 will be similar. Those things aside from all I can tell the game looks like it’ll be fantastic and will make up for the mediocrity of some of this year’s other AAA games. I’ll definitely be getting it, heck if that deluxe preorder thing is still open I’ll get that.
I completely agree with guns are necessary. I wonder does this mean there are no enemy npcs? I can’t see myself with a straight face having to fight a group of people with sticks and bows.
I think guns wouldn't actually be that realistic. If we imagine that time has went on for quite some time after the zombie outbreak most guns would have already been found and any ammo would have been used long ago. Sure, you could handload ammo, but in the long run parts would be too sparse for too little reward that it would just go back to more primitive yet accessible weapons like bows and the like. Although I would like to see them declutter the HUD more to make it feel less arcadey (the zombie health Bars and colorful environment actually remind me of far cry new dawn a lot). And the movement also feels a bit too floaty and unrealistic with the 10 meter jumps across roofs and such. I prefer the drying light feel more for parkour as it's more realistic
@@yuritarded8870 I farmed alot at military tents on bridge. I just loved running around with the best fluid parcore. Ranking up was a chore but the most fun in any game.
To anyone concerned about weapon repairs don’t worry, a UA-camr explained that weapon repairs aren’t removed but changed, your weapon has 3 slots on it for modding which is the hilt handle and tip all of which can be customized and modded for better handling damage and accuracy and these mods add durability to this weapon and when they run out you can replace these parts with other mods to keep using the weapon.
I just can't play with a HUD anymore. After playing Days Gone on Survival II, it just breaks my immersion when I see things all over my screen. I love the fact that I have to pull up my weapon wheel to see how much ammo I have left (almost like checking your mag in real life I suppose) . Also one shot head shot kills are very satisfying and IMO realistic which I enjoy. At the end of the day though, it's a video game and however you choose to play is up to you. The point is to have FUN, so IMO the more options the better.. especially in a single player game.
Nah it actually looks worse. You can tell it was focus tested to hell and back with young people who grew up getting participation trophies. It’s too colorful. Too cheery. You can tell immediately that the teeth are gone.
Bows don't need a nerf, you shoot someone in the head with an arrow, they die dude. They could make the bow a learning curve that improves as you increase it's skills
With guns, I believe they should keep them as it created so much immersion with the first game as more zombies would be attracted to your location. While I do believe they should nerf them such as making bullets harder to make or find, and having only revolver or makeshift guns to have a slower reload, they should really reconsider adding an option close to it.
Really sad to hear that they have completely removed guns, the interplay between super noisy guns and quiet melee weapons in DL1 was my favourite part and I never found myself over using guns. If anything, I overused the crossbow in DL1 because it was silent. Still keeping my pre-order but I'm pretty upset tbh. Also the health bars are dreadful.
Continuing the pre order games is why you keep getting fucked over by AAA companies. Literally just wait one day after launch to see how it is, you don’t save money by preordering in fact you might lose it games like Fallout 76 went on sale a week after it came out.
@@saloonboone If i pre order a game, its because I like what i see. I pesonally havnt been fucked from preordering games in the past, because I preorder games that I(emphasis on I) found fun. Guess what, the games that I did preorder, I still found fun. I personally don't need to wait on someone else to tell me their experience.
@@jayadams6910 not their experience just pure playability. Dying Light 2 has been delayed, entirely rewritten, pseudo-cancelled, and delayed again. It’d be a miracle if this game lives up to any amount of hype thrown its way
Weapon durability is linked to mods, every time you mod a weapon you increase the durability so as long as you keep modding a wep you can use it for a long time without it breaking
I don’t like them removing guns, guns felt limited enough in the first one for me it was a nice balance, also I don’t know if I just missed it but you didn’t mention driving ?
You can only stay in them for a limited time before your infection reaches critical and you die to it, the enemy contents fluctuate between tons of enemies at daytime and less at night
He didn't play dl1 Because there were dark zones in dl1 they just got nerfed a bit you can find them in tunnels and under bridges they have night Walkers and volatiles
Reading all these comments, I really hope Techland is reading and paying attention to them because while I am still excited for the game, you guys here in the comments bring up a few good points that I wouldn’t have noticed had you guys not mentioned them. One MASSIVE thing you guys brought up was the somewhat cluttered UI of the HUD, but more importantly, the unusual addition of enemy health bars. I’ve recently replayed DL on Hard and I realized extremely fast that early game weapons are NOT reliable for damage dealing. At first it annoyed me that I had no clue how many hits any one zombie could take before dying, but then I’d realize I was making Crane smash an infected’s head with a hammer over and over again and I’d think to myself, “Y’know, this actually makes me feel like I’m a desperate survivor.” Either I corner a zombie to shower it with enough hits to break its skull and my low level weapon with it, or I ignore combat entirely and opt just to keep running and circumventing the zombie crowds as best I can. What made this all special was that I didn’t know how much health my enemies still had. Here, adding enemy health bars feels about as intuitive as it was when they were implemented in the recent Assassin’s Creed games. It changed the combat of Assassin’s Creed from a delicate and lethal dance where one little mistake meant instant death for either you or your enemy, into a weird MMORPG where combat feels artificial and purely cosmetic in lieu of whose weapons deal the largest damage numbers. It’s not entirely dealbreaking for them to include this, but I feel the game would be infinitely more intuitive and engaging if they removed it.
After beating the game on hard mode and jumping into nightmare you find out even crazy end game weapons you get from prison raids still take like 2 dozen+ hits to kill zombies. This was pretty fun IMO because it forced you to utilize the environment and crane's skills to dispatch zombies instead of relying upon a weapon (i.e. grapple tossing a zombie into spikes or off a ledge, using environmental traps, drop-kicking a zombie into a group so you can stomp all their heads) It also encourages you to only engage infected when absolutely necessary as your killing ability is severely weakened.
@@shimo7013 Imma b real wit u chief, I play on nightmare and kill most basic zombies in 2-5 hits. Idk if that's jus me but the whole tactical stuff just don't exist.
honestly, the health bars were the one thing that dead island did better than dying light, i'm happy to see them in this game! As anyone who has played nightmare mode knows, it absolutely sucks hitting the same zombie 30+ times and not knowing if it was close to dying or what.
I think with such a large variety of areas having different leveled zones be a better option than leveled enemies that way you don't need to check levels and health bar becomes unneeded
Just So you know Dark zones didn't exist but something similar in the following did. You go inside this sinkhole or cave and you have to wipe out nests and nesting volatiles before they are fully Transformed, You get Rewards and there are every type of zombie inside the nests. I think these were I the base game, so in my opinion I think dark zones were inspired From Nests. What do you think?
Step backwards in some cases, guns ran out fast and did not always help alot. It was nice to have diverse battles. And no repair, that has to be a joke. Hopefully there's mentions of the old characters and what not from the first, it was a great game.
As others are saying, the initial fear while you learn the mechanics and level up to become better is the best part of the game, once you get better and get skilled you become a badass zombie killing parkour warrior and are no more fearful. If you want to trivialise it play in coop, as soon as you play coop the fear is ruined, but you also can't get it back so that is a shame.
Oh wait hold up, if you’re scared by DL1, then you’ve got a great opportunity to harden yourself by playing actual horror games, good ones. And I’m not talking about overrated shit like outlast, I’ve got 3 games to recommend you: 1. Amnesia The Dark Descent: Possibly one of the best ways to get into the horror genre, the game plays with your expectations and has a very interesting story if you pay attention to it. It is also really well paced, you’ll be rewarded for progressing through difficult areas and you’ll want to keep going. The gameplay is also very simplistic so you don’t have to worry about complex mechanics and give up in the face of danger just because you’d think you could do whatever is required to survive. I’d also recommend Amnesia for the story alone, even if you don’t have the stomach to get through the game, listen to the diaries online, it’s a fascinating horror story 2. Soma: Possibly one of the best Sci Fi stories ever written, it’s very similar to Amnesia mechanically, but the game is focused around player choice. It’s very high-concept, and just like Amnesia, I would recommend Soma for the story alone. The game rewards you if you pay attention to details and makes your mind go wild. 3 Alien Isolation: This one, unlike the other two, is not so much story focused but gameplay focused. It is one of the few games I refuse to ever play with a VR mod. It doesn’t have any cheap scares, just a very impressive AI for the alien that stalks you through the whole game. It’s like Bioshock but with a nemesis-type adversary constantly hunting you. This one is the most anxiety-inducing and I would recommend it last, also, play this one on Easy, The normal difficulty feels unbalanced and the Hard one is outright bullshit.
Removal of guns is the one and only huge problem I have with the game, I don't care about it not fitting into the timeline, gun play was way too fun in dying light for it to be removed in my opinion
I'm pretty sure Techland said there are guns in DL2 but they're way more scarce than the first game. I'm also pretty sure there's blueprints for building blunderbuses
DL2 looks like it's going to be really great, but I hope they give the option to hide the zombies' health bars. I had thought it wasn't much of an issue from watching previous footage, but that scene where your character went into a dark building, and you could see there were 2 zombies on the ground not because they were visible, but because there were health bars there. Definitely cut down the suspense and whatnot.
I like guns in Dl2. Removing them reduces a LARGE portion of weapon variety in the game. Plus they have the “you will be attacked by the virals and attract more zombies” thing going on if you use guns in the first one that i think is a nice touch so you will be reluctant to use them.
Personally I'm perfectly fine with having the health bars on the zombies I just think that there should be a option to turn them off in the settings for the people who don't like them
I hope they add an update where you need to make your own guns but sorta like pipe guns from the Fallout series, so they aren’t like extremely overpowered and so you need to make your own ammo
I don't think the complete removal of guns should be a thing, because in world, people would still understand how to make very basic guns, I think flintlock guns, musket, and simple, single shot guns should be a thing and ammo should be rare, but I like that there are no automatic weapons
I'm pretty sure there are like makeshift guns like the one in the first gameplay trailer the wierd wood gun that only had a couple shots then you could use it as a melee weapon
Sorta like early dl1 game as guns were rare and ammo was only in certain places but 2 should make it rare and either hard to get blueprint or no blueprint
3:38 huh? Dark zones didn't exist in the first game? That's straight up untrue. Dying light one definitely had little areas on the map that were dark zones, and I'm not talking about quarantine zones either. It's when you say stuff like this that really makes it hard to trust your opinions on stuff when it seems like you haven't really got in depth with the first game
My main gripe with 1 was that you couldn't customize the on screen elements very much if at all in most cases. I really hope dying light 2 in the future will get the ability to enable or disable on screen elements entirely, as well as pick and choose. not just one or the other
I hope that there are some firearms but they end up being extremely difficult to get, and I would like to see health bars removed aswell as repairs being possible. I liked how the stealth looked. Thankyou for the video robo!!!
personally i feel like removing the guns was a bad choice, it would have been so cool to see make shift guns in this scenario, adding to the scenario by showing how much effort people put into the keep the few remaining guns operating.
healthbars imo are a great idea i wouldn’t be surprised if they could make them translucent or taking them off. In case you forgot fighting bosses, minibosses, night mobs in the first one not knowing whether they were going to die soon or needing to run because you were dying.
I see the factions like how they were in fallout 4, the survivors are the minutemen while the peacekeepers are the brotherhood of steel and the renegades are perhaps something like the institute in terms of a villain faction or raiders. All in all I'm loving this concept ❤
I loved the story in first one. I also would love to see some guns just as an option for example or at the end of the game. It was fun to use them in DL1
I like your perspective on the "Modern Dark Age" and why guns not being implemented makes sense. Slingshots would have fit nicely in this game, with shooting rocks at enemies and eventually DIY bombs!
I'd personally hate if they nerfed the bows and crossbows. Headshots should be instant kills unless you're going up against special infected like a Volatile. Guns not being in the game is a bit silly but it's whatever. As for the parkour being floaty, I agree but I feel like it's for a good reason. With how large the areas are, you need to be able to jump further than what you'd expect. I feel like once people start playing it they'll get used to it.
You can turn off the health bars. The hud is fully customizable so you can choose to play with as much immersion as you want. I’m probably going to turn off the health bar and not use the survival sense as much. I’m going to try to learn how to spot searchable items. I realize that will probably mean I will overlook some loot but I feel like In the first 5 hours of gameplay it was getting a bit repetitive and slowing things down.
I dont like how theres no guns not even makeshift ones 😔 stuff like nail guns and handmade build and learn guns like in rust would be rlly nice in this game...
One thing I don't like about the parkour is how it looks like your just levitating up instead of jumping, to add a little more coolness to the game and to make it seem like your actually jumping I think they should add a little screen shake when jumping.
I wish they could make An AMC: The Walking Dead like the arcade machine with those two guns inside and do side mission: with Glenn Rhee, Abraham Ford, Daryl Dixon, michonne I would love to see a game like that would you agree
Guns were so much fun to use, just walking around the streets with a revolver shooting zombies in their heads and calling even more zombies was enjoyable
9:50 the removal of guns makes sense since this game is based 15 years after the last, so there is no more, or very little ammunition left in the world. Plus realistically, ammo is not an easy thing to make.
Tbh I dont like the survivors. I want them to be morally grey not in the morally good spectrum. They seem the only good option for some reason. I want to be challenged choosing between these factions
The gibbing doesnt seem as complex as Dying Light 1. Like when you smack a zombie in the head with a pipe sometimes the head would literally explode in glorious slo mo or bladed weapons would take off limbs, bisect the zombie etc. Doesn't seem the same in DL2.
You're the person that convinced me to pick up Dying Light and now you did with its sequel lol. Can't wait till release day (and hopefully I stop dying enough to complete the first Dying Light lol).
Wait... so tell me if I’m wrong but all you have to do to claim a safe house is climb to the top... no zombies or anything... why wouldn’t other runners just do it then. in the first game you at least had to kill some zombies so it would make sense that a runner wouldn’t want to go into a building and start killing zombies in close quarters. But you’re telling me in this one a random guy has to show up and claimant how does that make sense... i’m just imagining some random guy climbing up to the top of a windmill and just yelling out I claim this windmill and then a bunch of people just come up and start setting up I Camp why wouldn’t they do that before you climbed to the top it would make sense if there was zombies but from how you said it it didn’t sound like there was zombies
Based on a lot of reviews I've watched and gameplay seen, the only complaint I have is the hud. It feels wrong but don't know why, personally I absolutely love the look of the floaty parkour and most likely will love the feel of it when I get the game. The story seems interesting which is rare for games these days, the outposts seem fun, and it doesn't look like a game that was made to just make money. Overall excited for the release and hope the hud is very customizable!
Man, I got to address my concerns. To be perfectly honest, so far the game looks pretty good. I'm not concerned so much with, will it be a good game, as I am concerned for where this franchise is heading. I've been thoroughly enjoying Tech-Land games for years. I was a huge fan of Dead Island when I played that and probably played through it a dozen times and put probably at least 500-600 hours into that game and its sequel/expansion "riptide". When Dying Light was announced so little was known about it. I remember seeing the trailer and having so many questions. It was a fairly new concept with the free running and the graphics were also really well done. When I finally got to play it, it was just so good and it felt so fresh. I also remember them hyping up a dead island 2 only to basically can it after some time and its never been released. This tells me that the success of Dying light changed their focus. Dying light in a way put Tech-land on the map. It is essentially their Call of Duty 4, or their Far-cry 3. So my concerns are, how much has actually changed with this game from the last one. Im not talking about superficial shit like what kind of skills you can get or how the graphics compare or what weapons are in the game and so on. I want to know, does it actually feel fresh? Nd is this going to be Tech lands prized pony of a franchise, which they will beat to death and replicate for years to come only to become yet another AAA company that becomes.... meh. Like Ubisoft, Activision and EA
DL1 made the zombies feel scary in packs, you do know when ones gonna fall or how many more hits. But now u can easily single out the weakest one and be fine
there's only one game that I know of that EVER made factions amazing coz most of the time factions in games are ones good others bad...but STALKER did factions perfectly or almost perfectly coz there isn't a bad faction or a good faction each had there own thoughts and beliefs about the zone like the Ecologist want to study the zone so they can harness the power of the zone, Military want to secure the zone, Loners want to loot the zone, Monolith want to worship and protect the zone, freedom wants research to make things from the zone, Duty wants to destroy anything that leaves the zone to protect Earth from the zone...then again I'm also HELLA biased when it come to stalker...
I agree with a lot that was covered accept the HUD or mini map. I get his point of view but I would hate to have the Convenience of the mini map taken away too. Overall great overview of the game so far
I personally feel the removal of guns makes sense, either way most of the time you wouldn’t use the guns in dying light because of how they they attracted hoards of zombies. My biggest issue with the gameplay we’re seeing is the hud, I feel like there are way too many prompts and it looks a little cluttered, I also feel like the health bars makes the game feel a little arcade like and makes beating up zombies a little less satisfying. Overall, the gameplay still looks really fun and satisfying and I feel like exploring this new world will be an experience worth the price tag
I liked the guns. Don't really need them. But some gamers loved them. Techland have to know that everything they remove, they might be removing the reason for some gamers to okay tye game.
just saw your video on steam and I love how your honest about mechanics you really did not enjoy such as being able to repair your weapon like that's a big mechanic and hopefully the full version of the game adds that back! And I hate the idea of health bars it takes away from the immersion but at the same time you would know how many hits it takes to kill a zombie or human npc I just hope they have a a good menu options such as the ability to turn off health bars etc.
I don't understand what you mean by that. If you're talking about the removal of guns, I feel like it doesn't really make much of a difference since the guns in the first game were very op as you can kill demolishers without running out of ammo, as long as their armor is off.
@@chrisnotpratt1903 Almost as if thats realistic. Guns were the best part of the game. I want to feel like a badass zombie killing, parkour machine. Not a guy with a baseball bat. Whats fun about being restricted?
The removal of guns makes sense thematically as you said, but it also makes sense for the timeline. That far after the "apocalypse," how would parts be machined to make firearms? How would ammunition continue to be produced?
I really hope this game will be good because usually games with health ads tend to start good then end garbage but really I hope you can turn the health bars off it gives more of a realistic experience and a better experience (my opinion)
I like the idea of guns being gone because we simply _ran out of bullets_ I would humour the idea of doing really old school flintlocks or other explosion propelled devices used against high hp targets just cause were already having crafting so intense its literally _magic_
No guns wtf Maan!! It ain't gonna sell bruh lol.. that's a drastic bad change for a zombie game🙄😫when gun's sound drew the runners that was fun in D1 guns r a must.. it's stupid not to add any
Even if the character is fully upgraded some moments while parkour jumping looks too easy. And for the love of God I hope there is an option to turn off the health bar for enemies. The lack of stealth in the first game was a bummer so not having it in this game is sad. I also think removing guns is a bad move. They could balance it by adding only super durable weapons like revolvers and DB shotguns and such.

Not sure if you can answer this but I was curious if they had side activities such as maybe Parkour obstacle courses? Kinda like in gta with raves.
Guns should exist, but in such distant future, the won't be any ammo left, so they should make it truly special, guns would be common (always broken to not make it too annoying to own many useless weapons but still present for realistic purposes) but they should let the possibility for the character to find secret hideouts where there will be around 2 magazines for a simple hand-gun. Thus making guns similar to the BFG-10000 in DOOM : a way to get out of an impossible situation.
you can take the health bar off of them
wow, excellent video you pretty much sold me a copy, I didn't even realized they removed guns from this game, I think having guns for the later levels might be good, in sparingly short supply of ammo, I also agree about removing the the mini map. when i used to play GTA liberty city after awhile you learned all the locations and crevices alleys and such so you didn't need the mini map which made getting away from the cops and doing timed missions much easier by navigating by land marks alone.

How much did they pay you creators to read this script they handed out? Like seriously 3 of you guys are explain this game word for word😏 definitely reading of a script written by the Dev team's PR squad.
If there’s stealth in the game then the bow needs to be that strong. If you shoot an enemy in the head while in stealth mode and they still have them alert you it would be terrible.

I don't love the health bars on zombies visually, but at the same time it's kind of useful because in the first game I got annoyed by not knowing how many hits each weapon needed to kill basic zombies. It's an interesting balance. Hopefully there's an option to turn them off.
I prefer having no health bars for the Zombies or people, it kind of makes it feel more realistic and immersive. And I think that taking away guns is a good thing too. They were very op in dl1

Nerfing a bow is difficult as it doesn’t really make sense for an arrow to stick into someone’s brain and then they just shrug it off
that’s exactly what i was thinking. in my opinion it’s more of a thing where each person can choose whether or not they want to cruse though enemies using a bow.
Exactly that didn't make any sense headshots are and should always stay one shot kill
Yeah, if they wanna nerf it, imo they should either make the reload much slower (atm looks like an arrow just teleports into the bow) so you can only kill 1 or 2 humans before having to engage, or decrease the accuracy. I think this would be a much more fun weapon, something which does a lot of damage but needs precision
reckon body armour and helmets would solve this
@@Nelso5000 fo sho

@@DaSourOrange That’s one thing that immersion breaking and not to mention annoying as fuck. There is nothing I hate more than having to shoot a zombie multiple times in the head. One head shot is what it should take simple. That’s the whole point of zombies.
When it comes to UI , Id say giving players the option to customize every aspect of the HUD to their satisfaction is the key. I should be able to remove/ display healthbars or turn on/ off icons , according to my preference.
Hopefully they have that
Yeah and allowing dynamic UI would also be great. Like for an example, I don’t need to see the weapon/equipment icon on screen the whole time but when selecting them, it would be great to see what I’m selecting. Or if I’m just exploring, HUD could just be off completely or have only the compass on screen.
I believe Techland have confirmed you’ll be able to do so.
@@thejokingcat783 Big Yayyyyy 😃
they might do that on nightmare mode
"Everything was dangerous, dirty, and decaying down on the streets...." and then I went in to the development studio.
This made me laugh
The UI does seem super cluttered. Especailly with the prompts all over the place on everything. At the bare minimum I think they should remove health bars for at least your average fodder enemies and zombies. I get having them for some of the larger enemies and bosses, just so you have some idea of how much damage you are doing to them. But then again this could also be done through visual queues by just actually having the enemies become visibly damaged. Now that I think about it, this game probably could have benefitted a lot from a damage and dismemberment system for the enemies.
I'm hoping they add some up customization so you could maybe remove things that you don't particularly like, for example I like the health bars on the enemys but I don't like all the quest markers all ove the screen so if I could I would like to add or remove what I wanted
ye i disagree with adding health bars

NOTE: TECHLAND DID NOT PAY ME OR PREVENT ME FROM SHARING ANY NEGATIVE OPINIONS ABOUT THE GAME.
A lot of people keep mentioning that I am not critiquing the game enough. Techland didn't tell me that I couldn't critique it and I genuinely didn't find many flaws with my experience playing the game. Many creators base their reviews off of what other people say, but I don't do that so I wrote this video without watching any other DL2 reviews other than the generic IGN one. I am a huge fan of the Dying Light franchise and these are my honest thoughts that I wrote down in my notes while I was at the event. So yes, I do have a bit of bias due to how much I love the first game, which could definitely allow me to MISS some things that other people find negative, but I definitely didn't see many problems with it. Again, this video is just talking about my thoughts and what you hear is exactly what I was thinking.
Hey RoboKast, I've noticed in the game trailers that when the characters vaults or jumps he kinda stays in the air a lil bit longer as if the gravity was weaker. Did you notice anything like that when you were playing?
@@vil5008 3 minutes ago hello
@@vil5008 Good question
Was your game play a demo?
Guns haven't been fully removed. What do you mean, you will be able to build a Rudimentary Shotgun and there is the Scorpio that shoots like harpoon things still. (Loved the video though)
Just guns being in the game doesn't automatically make the game easier. Guns could certainly be balanced in a way in which they aren't super OP, probably through ammo scarcity since high health and bullet sponges wouldn't work well with the melee combat. It would make sense with the setting as well. But yeah, just having guns in the game does not immediately make the game easier if the game is properly balanced around those guns. The issue in the first game was just that it wasn't.
I'm assuming the lack of guns is explained through just the scarcity of the post-zombie world, but there are literally more civilian-owned guns in America than there are people. It would take quite a while before we completely ran out of guns and ammo. That being said I would be more bothered if there were no ranged weapons at all. Since there are still other ranged weapons and clearly the game is designed around guns not being a thing, I'm not too bothered by it. But I would like it if there were at least a few guns as super rare late-game items.
They did say you could make makeshift guns that have 1 shot before they break so they would be saved for bosses and such
While I agree with you in terms of guns making things easy aspect, I personally think bullets would be extremely wasted during a zombie apocalypse. Definitely since most civilians don’t know or aren’t experience with guns. An average American civilian would waste 70-80% of their bullets on top of the 20-30% that actually hit a zombie won’t necessary mean it’ll kill a zombie
@@ngythe1king still has a whole lot of advantages over trying to kill a zombie with a melee weapon. The average person isn't going to be very keen on being anywhere near that close to zombie to attack them. Ranged weapons would have enormous value. You also underestimate the sheer quantity of ammunition that's out there. Even if all of it was gone, people would still be able to handload old brass and reuse it. And it wouldn't be that difficult to make new bullets. Still basically the last thing a normal person would want to do is put themselves within biting range of a single zombie much less a whole group of them. Also it's important to remember that we aren't really talking about "most people" in such a scenario. "Most people" in such a scenario are *already zombies* , those who are still alive are likely the ones who were able to effectively use firearms and other weapons to protect themselves. Or at least were capable of making good enough choices not to end up as a zombie. Sure in the beginning there would be a lot of ammo wasted, but those who survived would likely become at least competent with firearms relatively quickly and I am sure they would understand the value those weapons had and therefore the value that each bullet has. I mean there is a reason that ammunition was the currency in games such as Metro. While obviously the circumstances would vary significantly depending on where in the world you are, at least when it comes to the USA guns and ammo would be quite abundant for at least a couple decades. As of 2018, the USA was 4% of the world's population but possessed 46% of all civilian owned firearms in the world. At the minimum it would take multiple decades before firearms and ammo would become so rare that people would transition to melee weapons. That's assuming that people ever really would and wouldn't just use bow and arrows or build repeating crossbows Joerg Sprave style. When dealing with zombies ranged weaponry will always be in demand just due to the threat that zombies pose and how they attack.
The game takes place in a european city, i live in europe so i know that the only guns you ever see here are double barreled shotguns used by hunters or (if you are very unlucky) a handgun used by a criminal pointing it at you. And even then you have a bigger chance of getting stabbed if you ever ran in to someone with bad intensions.
@@e2rqey I’m pretty sure in Dying Light 2 setting it’s already been decades since the apocalypse started
My only complain is the health bars on enemies. If it was for bosses, that would be understandable. But seeing health bars isnt that really helping me more immersed into the game.
Example, lfd1 and lfd2 in comparison with back 4 blood. In lfd series, everytime i shoot once at zombie with a high caliber rifle. I was quite surprised seeing that zombie still alive and quite angry. But in back 4 blood, seeing all the health bars is just kinda more arcade to me. It's more of a distraction than anything imo.
Edited : great news! It can be turned off, good to know that techlands listen to peoples feedback.
True takes away a sense of suspense of not being sure how strong a enemy actually is.
I also dislike the counter argument being ''It's a toggle on/off, don't worry about it''. I just don't feel like this type of feature belongs in a game like this. In DL1, I loved the tension of rushing to kill a zombie, unknowingly sure if the zombie was close to death before another one would approach you. Having a health bar above enemies and directly knowing if I should continue to attack completely removes alot of the suspense. Also, immersion good. Still excited for DL2
@@C-Live But If you can turn it off, you don't see it. If anything it makes the game more acessible for new people
@@goncaloalmeida5301 I forgot to say this in my original comment: If they do keep the feature, I'm totally fine with that. I just wish it was reversed (No healthbar by default, still have the option to toggle it on). I know that's specific but I would prefer it that way
@@C-Live I get what you're saying, but if this is the only negative, which I agree, I think we could do a lot worse
The hud is my biggest complaint, I loved the old minimalistic feeling, so I wish the HUD could be toned down a bit, or even better make alot of the extra bits appear when using something like survivor sense from the first game, example being the objective markers/health bars, especially those button prompts for "RB, RT etc".
I think they'll be HUD options
they said the hud is customable so u can turn off those helath bars
i really hope so
Nah I like the new hud
Yea they listened as you can change it
One thing I've noticed is just how floaty the jumping feels. It's very unrealistic especially after playing the first game.
@Split you went and had to be that guy
Split yeah but it overall felt fluid af in the first compared to the floatiness in this game
@Split That’s such a brain dead response. Realistic isn’t a good argument? Of course it fucking is! It’s a gritty, dark, realistic game thematically and narratively, why wouldn’t it be realistic mechanically? Ruins the game with a disconnect otherwise.
There also just isn’t an excuse for poor, floaty animations. It isn’t a matter of subjective taste, it’s just straight up bad. Ignores the twelve fundamentals of animation and first person anti-motion sickness concepts.
Your bias clouds your judgement. I loved the first game and I want this to be good too, but ignoring criticism is never the answer, especially when a lot of people have issues with these aspects.
Not our fault your opinion is trash, just get better reasons for liking something, it’s not hard.
@Split You know, I actually quite liked some of your points here. Those are some solid examples that kind of nullify my argument. I still personally detest the floaty parkour, but I think a high FOV and mouse and keyboard will hopefully alleviate that.
And yeah I think I see where you’re coming from with the ‘realism’ argument. I also kind of hate it when droves of people fall back on a flawed, easy to defend point, kind of like the ‘It’s a beta’ or the ‘It’s early access’, not a fan of those either.
Start of your response was kind of dumb, name call me for using your own words and then say I’m the one not being civil. But I at least appreciate you elaborating on your point, which is what I was looking for.
Have a nice day.
Edit: Also, fuck you man I thought RDR2 was a great game!😂 Straight up though I really don’t have a problem with that games animations at all, I loved what little RDO provided, some of the most immersive content on console.
@@asmodeus235 Yes But its still not realistic in terms of the Jumping. Plus relastic movment can make a game less fuild. Witcher 3 had this issue when running And it felt weird in terms of how responsive it was. So if they make it realstic you run risk of making it feel unresponsive.
Firmly disagreeing with the Slums and Safezone argument, I feel the Slums were heavily varied with business-sections, Small beaches, Claustrophobic Slums (as to be expected) and more Rural areas, While the Safehouses (I feel) were very fun and varied! Some were houses, Others were Towers, Antennae, Tunnels, Etc. With a handful of Infected to clear out to make it feel challenging.
Yeah, replaying through dying light recently has made me think about the layout of the map and how fun it was to traverse with all of the different abilities. I really do hope this game doesn't take away that aspect of the first one.
Slamming the door shut in the safe zone after killing the infected was so satisfying!
slums was so much fun, i constantly found new areas and extra things added in. i love coming back to playing dying light just to experience new things!

I don’t think many people know just how innovative and good the controls and movement and combat at the core of Dying Light is. If you played the Hellraid DLC or go back and watch videos from when they were originally making Hellraid as a game - there is massive potential there. Taking that and putting it into a new setting like a dystopian future that returns to Medeival Era Dark Ages with Zombies and Monsterous creatures is such a great premise. I hope they pull something incredible off.
Let’s hope for the best!
An arrow to the head will kill someone, that's normal.
If you're talking about balancing, I'd be thinking about arrow quality or types of arrows, headwear that protects the head from... Well everything, arrows included and the quality of the bows itself.
Inaccurate shots could be considered but it's going to have the criticism that all "chance" games have. I will give it the benefit of the doubt that if they do implement it with great execution and do something nice for the game.
Absolutely, don't know if you've played Kingdom Come: Deliverance but that game handles the bow and arrow well in terms of balancing, in my opinion. Technically they're the most powerful in the game, one shot to the face and even the toughest enemies are down, but managing to actually hit skin through all the plate armour or chainmail is where the challenge lies.
I'd love to see that kind of hit detection implemented, where the game takes into account where exactly you hit them with your arrow/weapon and deal the damage accordingly.
9:36 This is dead wrong. Guns were the best part about that game.
I'm not a huge fan of the HUD and healthbars, but I hope you can turn it off ingame.

And luckily for players, HUD can often be messed around with in the options menu. So I bet things like healthbars and UI clutter can be turned off easily
@@nordikkai7185 I’m pretty sure they said that you will be able to customize the HUD. I know they said you can turn off health bars
I’m definitely looking forwards to DL2, but there are a few things I wish were different.
A big one is the HUD and UI, I feel that the DL1 UI was pretty spot on, not too complicated or overly detailed, easy to navigate (except for the crafting menu at times), and a general good look to it. The DL2 UI looks sorta dingy and very much out of place in my opinion.
Another criticism of mine is the complete removal of guns. It just doesn’t seem realistic to me. I feel it’d be both more realistic and more useful in gameplay to have just a few guns scattered across the map and just a little bit of ammo (like < 30 rounds in the whole game) scattered and locked behind levels and missions so as to not permit stockpiling.
This would make it really rewarding to find, and allow for a really useful tool, one to two hard hitting shots and then back to the knives it is. I suppose this could be comparable to a mini nuke and fat man in Fallout 4, though more scarce and less accessible at any one point in the game.
A third is user created content, DL1 has a great map editor and I had some good times making maps on it and trying to recreate real-world places in it. Hopefully DL2 will be similar.
Those things aside from all I can tell the game looks like it’ll be fantastic and will make up for the mediocrity of some of this year’s other AAA games. I’ll definitely be getting it, heck if that deluxe preorder thing is still open I’ll get that.
I got the ultimate preorder which is the highest i think. Definitely worth it my man
I completely agree with guns are necessary. I wonder does this mean there are no enemy npcs? I can’t see myself with a straight face having to fight a group of people with sticks and bows.
I think we have a swam off shotgun as a skill to use which was in the trailer
I think guns wouldn't actually be that realistic. If we imagine that time has went on for quite some time after the zombie outbreak most guns would have already been found and any ammo would have been used long ago. Sure, you could handload ammo, but in the long run parts would be too sparse for too little reward that it would just go back to more primitive yet accessible weapons like bows and the like.
Although I would like to see them declutter the HUD more to make it feel less arcadey (the zombie health Bars and colorful environment actually remind me of far cry new dawn a lot). And the movement also feels a bit too floaty and unrealistic with the 10 meter jumps across roofs and such. I prefer the drying light feel more for parkour as it's more realistic
@@SongbirdTheAI He mentioned bandits, so yes there are enemy NPCs. They'll probably use bats, knives, machetes, bows, and crossbows.

To anyone concerned about weapon repairs don’t worry, a UA-camr explained that weapon repairs aren’t removed but changed, your weapon has 3 slots on it for modding which is the hilt handle and tip all of which can be customized and modded for better handling damage and accuracy and these mods add durability to this weapon and when they run out you can replace these parts with other mods to keep using the weapon.
@Halian Nail To my knowledge I think you must replace the mod but it seems as mods and other weapons with mods are more common and you can buy them.
I just can't play with a HUD anymore. After playing Days Gone on Survival II, it just breaks my immersion when I see things all over my screen. I love the fact that I have to pull up my weapon wheel to see how much ammo I have left (almost like checking your mag in real life I suppose) . Also one shot head shot kills are very satisfying and IMO realistic which I enjoy. At the end of the day though, it's a video game and however you choose to play is up to you. The point is to have FUN, so IMO the more options the better.. especially in a single player game.

1 was a dryer climate but ya it looks good I'm just sick of waiting for it I Swear this year they've made us suffer
Yeah that was my biggest complaint of the first game, the fact that the game had almost a gray filter on it the the daytime just looked odd to me
Mmmm, curious, I liked the first game's color more, I prefer less saturated colors
Nah it actually looks worse. You can tell it was focus tested to hell and back with young people who grew up getting participation trophies. It’s too colorful. Too cheery. You can tell immediately that the teeth are gone.
@@testsubject157 Has color = Cheery?
I don't think dying lights a very Cheery game lol.
Bows don't need a nerf, you shoot someone in the head with an arrow, they die dude. They could make the bow a learning curve that improves as you increase it's skills
With guns, I believe they should keep them as it created so much immersion with the first game as more zombies would be attracted to your location. While I do believe they should nerf them such as making bullets harder to make or find, and having only revolver or makeshift guns to have a slower reload, they should really reconsider adding an option close to it.
Really sad to hear that they have completely removed guns, the interplay between super noisy guns and quiet melee weapons in DL1 was my favourite part and I never found myself over using guns. If anything, I overused the crossbow in DL1 because it was silent. Still keeping my pre-order but I'm pretty upset tbh. Also the health bars are dreadful.
Lose the pre order friend
pretty sure they stated that you could edit the health bars out of the UI in one of their dying to know
Continuing the pre order games is why you keep getting fucked over by AAA companies. Literally just wait one day after launch to see how it is, you don’t save money by preordering in fact you might lose it games like Fallout 76 went on sale a week after it came out.
@@saloonboone If i pre order a game, its because I like what i see. I pesonally havnt been fucked from preordering games in the past, because I preorder games that I(emphasis on I) found fun. Guess what, the games that I did preorder, I still found fun. I personally don't need to wait on someone else to tell me their experience.
@@jayadams6910 not their experience just pure playability. Dying Light 2 has been delayed, entirely rewritten, pseudo-cancelled, and delayed again. It’d be a miracle if this game lives up to any amount of hype thrown its way
Weapon durability is linked to mods, every time you mod a weapon you increase the durability so as long as you keep modding a wep you can use it for a long time without it breaking
Jus like dl1. I jus wonder if the mods work the same or not
I don’t like them removing guns, guns felt limited enough in the first one for me it was a nice balance, also I don’t know if I just missed it but you didn’t mention driving ?
theres driving? and i love less serious guns and having more unique typesof guns but there are guns in the game
how are the dark zones different from, lets say the tunnels at day time or hive caves?
They are not, same idea tbh.
You can only stay in them for a limited time before your infection reaches critical and you die to it, the enemy contents fluctuate between tons of enemies at daytime and less at night
@@endlesssummers2391 oh nice, thank you
He didn't play dl1 Because there were dark zones in dl1 they just got nerfed a bit you can find them in tunnels and under bridges they have night Walkers and volatiles
@@boundedscythe7726 nah he played dl1 but def didn't play it for long
Reading all these comments, I really hope Techland is reading and paying attention to them because while I am still excited for the game, you guys here in the comments bring up a few good points that I wouldn’t have noticed had you guys not mentioned them. One MASSIVE thing you guys brought up was the somewhat cluttered UI of the HUD, but more importantly, the unusual addition of enemy health bars. I’ve recently replayed DL on Hard and I realized extremely fast that early game weapons are NOT reliable for damage dealing. At first it annoyed me that I had no clue how many hits any one zombie could take before dying, but then I’d realize I was making Crane smash an infected’s head with a hammer over and over again and I’d think to myself, “Y’know, this actually makes me feel like I’m a desperate survivor.” Either I corner a zombie to shower it with enough hits to break its skull and my low level weapon with it, or I ignore combat entirely and opt just to keep running and circumventing the zombie crowds as best I can. What made this all special was that I didn’t know how much health my enemies still had. Here, adding enemy health bars feels about as intuitive as it was when they were implemented in the recent Assassin’s Creed games. It changed the combat of Assassin’s Creed from a delicate and lethal dance where one little mistake meant instant death for either you or your enemy, into a weird MMORPG where combat feels artificial and purely cosmetic in lieu of whose weapons deal the largest damage numbers. It’s not entirely dealbreaking for them to include this, but I feel the game would be infinitely more intuitive and engaging if they removed it.
After beating the game on hard mode and jumping into nightmare you find out even crazy end game weapons you get from prison raids still take like 2 dozen+ hits to kill zombies. This was pretty fun IMO because it forced you to utilize the environment and crane's skills to dispatch zombies instead of relying upon a weapon (i.e. grapple tossing a zombie into spikes or off a ledge, using environmental traps, drop-kicking a zombie into a group so you can stomp all their heads) It also encourages you to only engage infected when absolutely necessary as your killing ability is severely weakened.
@@shimo7013 Imma b real wit u chief, I play on nightmare and kill most basic zombies in 2-5 hits. Idk if that's jus me but the whole tactical stuff just don't exist.
@@shimo7013 And what skills? Most of the combat tree is just minor additions and new stuff to craft
honestly, the health bars were the one thing that dead island did better than dying light, i'm happy to see them in this game! As anyone who has played nightmare mode knows, it absolutely sucks hitting the same zombie 30+ times and not knowing if it was close to dying or what.
I think with such a large variety of areas having different leveled zones be a better option than leveled enemies that way you don't need to check levels and health bar becomes unneeded
Nope
What?
Just So you know Dark zones didn't exist but something similar in the following did. You go inside this sinkhole or cave and you have to wipe out nests and nesting volatiles before they are fully Transformed, You get Rewards and there are every type of zombie inside the nests. I think these were I the base game, so in my opinion I think dark zones were inspired From Nests. What do you think?
Step backwards in some cases, guns ran out fast and did not always help alot. It was nice to have diverse battles. And no repair, that has to be a joke. Hopefully there's mentions of the old characters and what not from the first, it was a great game.
I tried to get into Dying Light 1 but it was too scary for me.
After you get over the initial fear and start getting better gear it's one of if not the best zombie game out there
As others are saying, the initial fear while you learn the mechanics and level up to become better is the best part of the game, once you get better and get skilled you become a badass zombie killing parkour warrior and are no more fearful.
If you want to trivialise it play in coop, as soon as you play coop the fear is ruined, but you also can't get it back so that is a shame.
@@Stinkyremy true I remember shtting my pants in the beginning hours of the game but then its completely faded away, which does suck.
Really? It was too infuriating and boring for me lol
I got to the second town and sort of quit
Oh wait hold up, if you’re scared by DL1, then you’ve got a great opportunity to harden yourself by playing actual horror games, good ones.
And I’m not talking about overrated shit like outlast, I’ve got 3 games to recommend you:
1. Amnesia The Dark Descent:
Possibly one of the best ways to get into the horror genre, the game plays with your expectations and has a very interesting story if you pay attention to it. It is also really well paced, you’ll be rewarded for progressing through difficult areas and you’ll want to keep going.
The gameplay is also very simplistic so you don’t have to worry about complex mechanics and give up in the face of danger just because you’d think you could do whatever is required to survive. I’d also recommend Amnesia for the story alone, even if you don’t have the stomach to get through the game, listen to the diaries online, it’s a fascinating horror story
2. Soma:
Possibly one of the best Sci Fi stories ever written, it’s very similar to Amnesia mechanically, but the game is focused around player choice. It’s very high-concept, and just like Amnesia, I would recommend Soma for the story alone. The game rewards you if you pay attention to details and makes your mind go wild.
3 Alien Isolation:
This one, unlike the other two, is not so much story focused but gameplay focused. It is one of the few games I refuse to ever play with a VR mod. It doesn’t have any cheap scares, just a very impressive AI for the alien that stalks you through the whole game. It’s like Bioshock but with a nemesis-type adversary constantly hunting you.
This one is the most anxiety-inducing and I would recommend it last, also, play this one on Easy, The normal difficulty feels unbalanced and the Hard one is outright bullshit.
The thing I notice first is wayyyy to much UI. Why do zombies need health bars?
Removal of guns is the one and only huge problem I have with the game, I don't care about it not fitting into the timeline, gun play was way too fun in dying light for it to be removed in my opinion
Yep. Huge mistake
A pistol made me feel like an absolute God when I first got my hands on it, I went on a killing spree and used up all my ammo within 2 minutes
Agreed. Never go into the night without being fully packed with guns.
@@MrSwitchblade327 Nope, it's the right way to go.
I swear I seen a gun in the newest trailer
I'm pretty sure Techland said there are guns in DL2 but they're way more scarce than the first game. I'm also pretty sure there's blueprints for building blunderbuses
DL2 looks like it's going to be really great, but I hope they give the option to hide the zombies' health bars. I had thought it wasn't much of an issue from watching previous footage, but that scene where your character went into a dark building, and you could see there were 2 zombies on the ground not because they were visible, but because there were health bars there. Definitely cut down the suspense and whatnot.
There will be an option to customize
I like guns in Dl2. Removing them reduces a LARGE portion of weapon variety in the game. Plus they have the “you will be attacked by the virals and attract more zombies” thing going on if you use guns in the first one that i think is a nice touch so you will be reluctant to use them.
But does it actually make sense for there to be a ton of guns left?
Personally I'm perfectly fine with having the health bars on the zombies I just think that there should be a option to turn them off in the settings for the people who don't like them
pretty sure there is a setting to take it off
@@ImMrDanny95 yes I know now, I posted this when we didn't know
I hope they add an update where you need to make your own guns but sorta like pipe guns from the Fallout series, so they aren’t like extremely overpowered and so you need to make your own ammo
I don't think the complete removal of guns should be a thing, because in world, people would still understand how to make very basic guns, I think flintlock guns, musket, and simple, single shot guns should be a thing and ammo should be rare, but I like that there are no automatic weapons
I'm pretty sure there are like makeshift guns like the one in the first gameplay trailer the wierd wood gun that only had a couple shots then you could use it as a melee weapon
Lol I disagree with you, VERY little of the population know how to make guns. Taking guns out was a good move IMO
@@ngythe1king I get that, still would've been cool for something like makeshift guns or older more easily produced guns to be a thing
@Chase Bullock dope thanks for letting me know
Sorta like early dl1 game as guns were rare and ammo was only in certain places but 2 should make it rare and either hard to get blueprint or no blueprint
I'm happy there are health bars, I hated not knowing how much health they had left. Hope it stays. Thanks for the video
3:38 huh? Dark zones didn't exist in the first game? That's straight up untrue. Dying light one definitely had little areas on the map that were dark zones, and I'm not talking about quarantine zones either. It's when you say stuff like this that really makes it hard to trust your opinions on stuff when it seems like you haven't really got in depth with the first game
Fact 100%
My main gripe with 1 was that you couldn't customize the on screen elements very much if at all in most cases. I really hope dying light 2 in the future will get the ability to enable or disable on screen elements entirely, as well as pick and choose. not just one or the other
I hope that there are some firearms but they end up being extremely difficult to get, and I would like to see health bars removed aswell as repairs being possible. I liked how the stealth looked. Thankyou for the video robo!!!
the hud and stuff can be disabled or enabled
Best way to handle it is make you piece together blueprints for weapons and ammo and then balance the crafting well with world loot.
You're saying the hideout system is bad in the first one but its the same in the second one, just more pretty, interesting.
personally i feel like removing the guns was a bad choice, it would have been so cool to see make shift guns in this scenario, adding to the scenario by showing how much effort people put into the keep the few remaining guns operating.
Made the game too ez in my opinion
healthbars imo are a great idea i wouldn’t be surprised if they could make them translucent or taking them off. In case you forgot fighting bosses, minibosses, night mobs in the first one not knowing whether they were going to die soon or needing to run because you were dying.
they should keep guns but make ammo very very rare but the gun would be a very powerful weapon to use as a last resort
I see the factions like how they were in fallout 4, the survivors are the minutemen while the peacekeepers are the brotherhood of steel and the renegades are perhaps something like the institute in terms of a villain faction or raiders. All in all I'm loving this concept ❤
I loved the story in first one. I also would love to see some guns just as an option for example or at the end of the game. It was fun to use them in DL1
I like your perspective on the "Modern Dark Age" and why guns not being implemented makes sense. Slingshots would have fit nicely in this game, with shooting rocks at enemies and eventually DIY bombs!
I'd personally hate if they nerfed the bows and crossbows. Headshots should be instant kills unless you're going up against special infected like a Volatile.
Guns not being in the game is a bit silly but it's whatever.
As for the parkour being floaty, I agree but I feel like it's for a good reason. With how large the areas are, you need to be able to jump further than what you'd expect. I feel like once people start playing it they'll get used to it.
Guns aren't completely gone there is at least one gun in the game
@@johncruisethebaldguy1710 True.
You can turn off the health bars. The hud is fully customizable so you can choose to play with as much immersion as you want. I’m probably going to turn off the health bar and not use the survival sense as much. I’m going to try to learn how to spot searchable items. I realize that will probably mean I will overlook some loot but I feel like In the first 5 hours of gameplay it was getting a bit repetitive and slowing things down.
I dont like how theres no guns not even makeshift ones 😔 stuff like nail guns and handmade build and learn guns like in rust would be rlly nice in this game...
There is a handmade shotgun
I'm just hoping they add plenty of Easter eggs and collectibles. The first Dying light I remember grabbing the wingsuit from the super Mario tunnel
One thing I don't like about the parkour is how it looks like your just levitating up instead of jumping, to add a little more coolness to the game and to make it seem like your actually jumping I think they should add a little screen shake when jumping.
I wish they could make An AMC: The Walking Dead like the arcade machine with those two guns inside and do side mission: with Glenn Rhee, Abraham Ford, Daryl Dixon, michonne I would love to see a game like that would you agree
I’ll say one thing, at least Techland are honest enough to show off what’s wrong with their game rather than CD Projekt Red.
Guns were so much fun to use, just walking around the streets with a revolver shooting zombies in their heads and calling even more zombies was enjoyable
Are we able to toggle off health bars? Are there different difficulties to play the game on? Thanks to whoever responds!
I don't know about the difficulty but I do believe they said you can remove health bars if you wanted to, as an option.
9:50 the removal of guns makes sense since this game is based 15 years after the last, so there is no more, or very little ammunition left in the world. Plus realistically, ammo is not an easy thing to make.
Tbh I dont like the survivors. I want them to be morally grey not in the morally good spectrum. They seem the only good option for some reason. I want to be challenged choosing between these factions
This is why I will side with the peacekeepers.

@@InnerRise On occasion
1 thing we know for sure is if we found something not fun or broken they are going to fix it and keep doing that just like in dying light 1
The gibbing doesnt seem as complex as Dying Light 1. Like when you smack a zombie in the head with a pipe sometimes the head would literally explode in glorious slo mo or bladed weapons would take off limbs, bisect the zombie etc. Doesn't seem the same in DL2.
Yep I agree. I think I'll stick with 1
@@MrSwitchblade327 remember all that footage is from 2 months before the game comes out they have time to fix it
I like the health bars with the zombies. I enjoy knowing how many more hits it will take to kill them.
As for customising the HUD I would love to see something along the lines of what ghost recon breakpoint did
SUPER HYPED i have played dying light 1 for abt 7 times already cant wait tbh
I'll bet money one villian in the late game ends up pulling out a gun
Don't a dude get shot early in the game too? 😂
You're the person that convinced me to pick up Dying Light and now you did with its sequel lol. Can't wait till release day (and hopefully I stop dying enough to complete the first Dying Light lol).
Can't wait for 50 different endings.

i wish they give you more settings like having a map or not, having a health bar on zombies or not, you get the point
Wait... so tell me if I’m wrong but all you have to do to claim a safe house is climb to the top... no zombies or anything... why wouldn’t other runners just do it then. in the first game you at least had to kill some zombies so it would make sense that a runner wouldn’t want to go into a building and start killing zombies in close quarters. But you’re telling me in this one a random guy has to show up and claimant how does that make sense... i’m just imagining some random guy climbing up to the top of a windmill and just yelling out I claim this windmill and then a bunch of people just come up and start setting up I Camp why wouldn’t they do that before you climbed to the top it would make sense if there was zombies but from how you said it it didn’t sound like there was zombies
Yeah. Reminds me of the older far cry games. Climbing up the radio towers.
Based on a lot of reviews I've watched and gameplay seen, the only complaint I have is the hud. It feels wrong but don't know why, personally I absolutely love the look of the floaty parkour and most likely will love the feel of it when I get the game. The story seems interesting which is rare for games these days, the outposts seem fun, and it doesn't look like a game that was made to just make money. Overall excited for the release and hope the hud is very customizable!
Man, I got to address my concerns. To be perfectly honest, so far the game looks pretty good. I'm not concerned so much with, will it be a good game, as I am concerned for where this franchise is heading. I've been thoroughly enjoying Tech-Land games for years. I was a huge fan of Dead Island when I played that and probably played through it a dozen times and put probably at least 500-600 hours into that game and its sequel/expansion "riptide". When Dying Light was announced so little was known about it. I remember seeing the trailer and having so many questions. It was a fairly new concept with the free running and the graphics were also really well done. When I finally got to play it, it was just so good and it felt so fresh. I also remember them hyping up a dead island 2 only to basically can it after some time and its never been released. This tells me that the success of Dying light changed their focus. Dying light in a way put Tech-land on the map. It is essentially their Call of Duty 4, or their Far-cry 3. So my concerns are, how much has actually changed with this game from the last one. Im not talking about superficial shit like what kind of skills you can get or how the graphics compare or what weapons are in the game and so on. I want to know, does it actually feel fresh? Nd is this going to be Tech lands prized pony of a franchise, which they will beat to death and replicate for years to come only to become yet another AAA company that becomes.... meh. Like Ubisoft, Activision and EA
Techland are not the devs of Dead Island 2
DL1 made the zombies feel scary in packs, you do know when ones gonna fall or how many more hits. But now u can easily single out the weakest one and be fine
During the day yes. But try the Dark zones and GRE facilities and that wont happen. Or running during the night.
there's only one game that I know of that EVER made factions amazing coz most of the time factions in games are ones good others bad...but STALKER did factions perfectly or almost perfectly coz there isn't a bad faction or a good faction each had there own thoughts and beliefs about the zone like the Ecologist want to study the zone so they can harness the power of the zone, Military want to secure the zone, Loners want to loot the zone, Monolith want to worship and protect the zone, freedom wants research to make things from the zone, Duty wants to destroy anything that leaves the zone to protect Earth from the zone...then again I'm also HELLA biased when it come to stalker...
What about fallout new Vegas?
@@relaxedberserker4156 never really played it
@@relaxedberserker4156 was about to say the same.
I agree with a lot that was covered accept the HUD or mini map. I get his point of view but I would hate to have the Convenience of the mini map taken away too. Overall great overview of the game so far
I personally feel the removal of guns makes sense, either way most of the time you wouldn’t use the guns in dying light because of how they they attracted hoards of zombies. My biggest issue with the gameplay we’re seeing is the hud, I feel like there are way too many prompts and it looks a little cluttered, I also feel like the health bars makes the game feel a little arcade like and makes beating up zombies a little less satisfying. Overall, the gameplay still looks really fun and satisfying and I feel like exploring this new world will be an experience worth the price tag
This is the first game I've ever pre-ordered, and I'm certain that I won't regret it when I get to play it in a few days!
I liked the guns. Don't really need them. But some gamers loved them.
Techland have to know that everything they remove, they might be removing the reason for some gamers to okay tye game.
just saw your video on steam and I love how your honest about mechanics you really did not enjoy such as being able to repair your weapon like that's a big mechanic and hopefully the full version of the game adds that back! And I hate the idea of health bars it takes away from the immersion but at the same time you would know how many hits it takes to kill a zombie or human npc I just hope they have a a good menu options such as the ability to turn off health bars etc.
They just lost my purchase. Why on earth they had to try and change the game so much is beyond me. Just stick with what worked.
This ^ 100%
I don't understand what you mean by that. If you're talking about the removal of guns, I feel like it doesn't really make much of a difference since the guns in the first game were very op as you can kill demolishers without running out of ammo, as long as their armor is off.
@@chrisnotpratt1903 Almost as if thats realistic. Guns were the best part of the game. I want to feel like a badass zombie killing, parkour machine. Not a guy with a baseball bat. Whats fun about being restricted?
The removal of guns makes sense thematically as you said, but it also makes sense for the timeline. That far after the "apocalypse," how would parts be machined to make firearms? How would ammunition continue to be produced?
All i wanna know is grappling hook 🤨???
I loved DL1’s campaign. I was totally immersed
I really hope this game will be good because usually games with health ads tend to start good then end garbage but really I hope you can turn the health bars off it gives more of a realistic experience and a better experience (my opinion)
Exactly
I like the idea of guns being gone because we simply _ran out of bullets_
I would humour the idea of doing really old school flintlocks or other explosion propelled devices used against high hp targets just cause were already having crafting so intense its literally _magic_
No guns wtf Maan!! It ain't gonna sell bruh lol.. that's a drastic bad change for a zombie game🙄😫when gun's sound drew the runners that was fun in D1 guns r a must.. it's stupid not to add any
Even if the character is fully upgraded some moments while parkour jumping looks too easy. And for the love of God I hope there is an option to turn off the health bar for enemies. The lack of stealth in the first game was a bummer so not having it in this game is sad. I also think removing guns is a bad move. They could balance it by adding only super durable weapons like revolvers and DB shotguns and such.
I ain’t gonna say this looks bad but personally I think dying light 1 looks better
It just looks like it doesent have that feel
Agreed
