    To me. It was disappointing. I wanted what they advertised in 2018. The dark and depressing feel of the world. And how there was so mutch detail and I liked how it all looked like Paris. And the almost vertical buildings and you could see random things in the street like dead horses and bathtubs and wooden planks. I wanted the world to feel like an apocalypse not a colorfull city

    It absolutely pisses me off what happened with Chris Avellone. His career is essentially over. One of the best writers this industry has, and when his work got cut I knew this once promising game was going to flop. Only for the harlots that accused him of sexual harassment to turn around a few years later and say "Yeah no he didn't do anything to us and we don't know anybody he harassed". This world boils my blood sometimes.

    With the internal conflicts of the direction of the game, having to work remotely, and the rotating door at the office, it's a wonder it got finished at all. What they originally showed was next level gaming. What we got was not horrible, but very rough around the edges. Basically represents the entire development well. If they can financially afford too, I think they can really turn it into something far better than it is currently.

    Ali thank you for your honesty. I think this video could be 60 min or longer due to many downgrades of DL2 compared to Dl1. Maybe you could make a video in the future explaining why DL2 is overall a downgrade in many ways compared to Dl1 except the parcour, graphics and maybe combat vs humans. This list might be helpful:
    * Lack of motivation in free exploration: There are almost no blueprints you can find (with some exceptions). You just buy them in stores!
    * Combat physics downgraded ua-cam.com/video/SgpIeMbk3LM/v-deo.html
    * The gameplay is heavily focused on grinding like many Ubisoft games: e.x. You upgrade your blueprints with various zombie tokens instead of exploration to find new blueprints compared to DL1. Thats why you have all the forsaken stores. In order to upgrade all 43 blue prints to level 9 you have to kill 2365 Common Infected, 8815 Uncommon Infected Trophies, 1892 Rare Infected Trophies, 946 Unique Trophies and collect 22059 coins. No to mention the grindy events, the agents, the over 100x inhibitor containers to upgrade your character skills etc.
    * Cities are built of to many copy & paste elements (YES much more than in DL1!): ua-cam.com/video/ZHIFTA0WtoU/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/gwmvmAZHsxw/v-deo.html and many areas look almost the same. This point is absolutely crucial for motivation to explore the environment!
    * ...because of the copy & paste design it's repetetive and lacks of environmental story telling. For example the prolog has a great story telling part with an emotional background (world end party) but thats an exception.
    * Horror elements are almost gone. Despite the filter the night lacks of the contrast between pitch dark and light e.x. with dark filters everything is going to be to look darker including your flash light and day light. The design of the infected in different glowing colors adds to the cartoonish image.
    * Night time lacks of tension or real danger. You can be easily safed by the many safe zones, buildings, grass or other places to hide or your paraglider (later in the game). It is also hard to trigger chase level 3 or 4 and volatiles are static and don't patrol on the roofs as in DL1.
    * Bad gameplay pace and lack of immersion. For example: First you have the emotional and slow paced prolog and once you arrive in Old Villador (just 30 minutes later) you get bombarded with several quests like forsaken stores, challenges, safe houses, GRE buildings, dark hollows, side quests, GRE container audio messages, camp fire stories, etc. The hud and map are spamed with icons, popups explaining new features, new infected enemy types which weren't even introduced in the main story, etc. It's just an overload with so many things. This creates the impression of a video game instead of a cruel, apocalyptic and authentic world.
    * Almost no threat from zombies during day time (due to smaller number of zombies in one area, removed stamina while running, missing infected like spitters and way to many buildings to escape)
    * Major contradictions in the story + they rushed the last part of the story
    * Repairing weapons can only be done with upgrading (except well hidden easter egg)
    * Overall boring sidequests with forgetable characters, copy & pasted mission design and disappointing rewards.
    * Entcounters and story heavily focused on human enemies. Many expected a zombie focused game not fallout + far cry + zombie game.
    * The world lacks of dark ages and survival flair (outside main quests). IMO an authentic zombie game needs that apocalyptic flair, the unknown, the hopeless and real danger.
    * Other minor downgrades e.x. weapon made of a wooden board and tin can has the same damage attributes as an axe, underwater missions are almost not present, and more.

    Great video, really like the points you brought up.
    My biggest gripes with the game are the underdeveloped story and the cost of the crafting upgrades, which is one thing I don't see people bring up enough. It is insane that they expect you to farm hundreds of uncommon tokens just to upgrade 1 item and they don't even show you what the different upgrade stages give you until you are able to purchase the next one.
    As for the chases, I really wish howlers would work like sirens from killing floor or the screamers from the first one.

    I don't get it, I understand that this type of video with these dramatic thumbnails draws some good attention, and you need views, but... All of your content is about Dying Light 2, you clearly don't hate everything about the game, and it's ok to criticize something when you have good points, but: many of the things you mentioned were already fixed, and despite what may or may not be happening inside Techland, from where all this pessimism is coming from? It seems people are stuck on that E3 video until today, this is insane. Yes, I understand that we didn't get what was shown in that trailer, but does that mean the game is complete trash? There's nothing positive about it? I play it almost every day, and I can say that the answer is no, the game may not be perfect, but I always have a lot of fun playing it, and this is far from being a downgrade from the first one. Of course this is only my opinion about it, but I'll leave here a suggestion for you, how about a video about the points you like in Dying Light 2? They exist?

      How about a video about the points i like in Dying Light 2 ??
      Bro i have been doing that since it was announced, Majority of my videos is me talking good about them & taking their side even when the whole world is shitting on them.
      People hated the bloody ties DLC but i suggested that DLC to people who like challenges saying the DLC is not meant for everyone & its not a bad DLC also if you think all is good with the game then the mostly negative reviews on steam speaks for itself.
      Also can i not criticize them for messing up ?? or do you want me to only talk good about them since i am a Dying Light UA-camr.
      I need to be honest with people, What i showed in the video was a recap of everything that happened, its like a documentary.
      Everything that led to what we have today.
      If i mentioned Bugs i mentioned which one got fixed & which one didn't.. i am sure you missed that part.
      Also now you have issues with creators putting efforts in the thumbnail ? Yes UA-camrs need views, that's how a channel grows.
      When people complain about the E3 version, have you seen any developer say we know what the community wants, so we will deliver that, of course E3 version can't return but we will bring something similar that you will like.
      No nothing, instead they keep doing what they like and people don't.
      Also they keep asking us about Events and trophies, basic changes that barely anyone cares about.
      Now Dying Light 2 surely does some things better than Dying Light 1 but you cant deny the fact that it also messes up and actually misses a lot of those things that were perfect in the first game and now you see Techland adding them back slowly as a community update.
      Also i don't understand why people have issues when i speak against this game because when i am sugar coating and talking good about it, you guys don't have any problem.
      Finally my audience knows better, They know How big of a Dying Light fan i am & when i say i don't like this after playing this game for thousands of hrs, They trust me and infact share their own footages with me.
      FYI majority of these complains are from people & these footages are also provided by them.
      Link is in the description.
      Why do i say this game failed ?? because this game had potential to be the best zombie game out there and techland kinda messed it up.
      I want good for this game & that's why we need to speak up about the flaws & obviously i have always appreciated and supported them for over 6yrs now.
      My channel is a proof of that.

      Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for what you do here, because I know how hard is to make these videos. I believe you are the biggest content creator about this game at the moment, I'm from Brazil and when I'm talking with some of my friends, or I'm at some DL2 discord server chatting, your channel is always mentioned, I'm not doubting about the quality of your content or about your honesty.
      I understand that this is very useful as feedback for Techland, I watched the video again, and I agree that it's not only about the flaws, you really talk about some positive points and presents some very good suggestions, I think my issue is on how it is presented as a whole.
      Some aspects/problems can bother some players, and others not, the mechanics, for example, can be annoying for some people, but they don't make the game unplayable, but it doesn't matter, because the impression that remains for those who have not played yet will probably be "I'll never buy this, it's 100% trash".
      I'm not saying that it's your fault people without their own opinions, it's just sad because we know how many players use these type of video to decide if they will give a chance to a game or not, and I know how DL2 can be fun (in my opinion of course) and have the potential to be so much better. I don't doubt that you want the best for the future of the game, and I'm definitely not here to tell you what you should or shouldn't say on your own channel.

    Just wanted to say, this is a great video. I love the breakdown, especially that gameplay section where the enemies randomly ran right into you.
    I was very disappointed from a gameplay perspective more so than any other. I LOVED the traversal and combat in the first game. I still play it, and it's a strong contender for my favorite game of the last console generation. I was hoping DL2 would capture that, but to say that it was a step backwards would be a serious understatement. Every fight and almost every movement felt completely weightless and lacked any real sense of impact. The enemies often didn't react to getting hit, and the ragdoll physics, one of my favorite parts from the original, felt like it was pretty much removed from enemies that aren't yet defeated (most enemies only go into full ragdoll mode after they're dead), which made almost everything feel stiff, unresponsive, and aggressively boring to fight. As if that wasn't already bad enough, this issue was made even worse because I noticed that a fair bit of the "intermediate/transition" animations got skipped, resulting in awkward, jumpy, stuttering animations. So not only was combat and movement unpleasant in terms of the overall feel, but now because of the graphical issues, it was unpleasant to look at too.

The delays were part of it, but I truly feel that Techland "missed the boat" by fast forwarding into a dystopian future. The TRUE HORROR (or hook/grab) was the apocalypse in current times. I, actually, pre-ordered Dead Island 2 as it feels that it is "getting back" to what makes zombie games great. Hopefully @BestGamerAli will cover that game as that is where players will be.

    My idea for a good DLC and how to save the game is to make it like an expansion of the story kind of like the following. Firstly, they would need to make a bigg ass map outside of Villedor, replace the fast travel system with metro tunnels, maybe even make them work, other cities like Villedor but way smaller, abandoned cities, jungles/forests, way more new infected, animals for outside the cities and cars for the cities, a difference between the infected outside the safe zones and inside the safe zones, And for the story, Shortly after Aiden leaves the city, he tries to survive for the little time he has left while maybe even contemplating suicide so he doesn't turn, but he finds a group of GRE scientists who know what exactly happened to Aiden, how to stop his transformation but also how to use them. I know this is long but it would be cool, wouldn't it?

    Me and my friend was so hyped for this game was it got announced. We both was off work the day it was released. And our first experience was nothing but disconnections, audio breaking out, and geez the amount of my character falling through the map. We left it for a week, surely it would be fixed right? Nope, only thing was that I was no longer falling through the map after preforming actions. We couldn’t play in a single coop for no more than 20 minutes then receive a disconnect or a crash. We leave it again for another week and still the same! We tried to play around it and actually got 2 hours before a disconnect only once though then back to 20 minutes. Managed to play the game for 36 hours in total when playing only coop and I still haven’t beaten the game tbh I don’t think I ever will as personally I find this game boring, lack of a challenge (we played on hard), I was yawning most of the dialogues and it felt to fast pace (yes it’s a parkour game but DL1 did it way better).
    My friend also wanted to give this game another try and imma show him this video to why I don’t wanna play this and rather play DL1.
    Update: so we did try and play this a few weeks ago and how the hell does it still have disconnects! Yeah we got a few hours before it happened but the game most prime feature is coop! It’s been what a year now and this is still an issue? I even try to play this solo as I have beaten DL1 solo multiple times and still the game feels so boring. I even went back to DL1 and played that for 8 hours till I was burnt out to play and I had way more enjoyment! Although DL2 does have some decent features, but the overall gameplay and story is just boring to play and after an hour I just wanna go play another game.

    It would be interesting if they would add Raid mode and quarantine zone hybrid where you go through a quarantine zone just like in dying light 1 but at the end you have to defeat a boss to unlock better rewards with one life only it could be a nice challenge to unlock better weapons or amour gear.

      That feels very looter shooter-esque when it already is.
      Might be fun but I think DL does better as an immersive action adventure game and not some game-i-fied ARPG/LooterShooter(Melee). Maybe add more depth to quarantines as more elaborate dungeons. Maybe they can expand on the Dark Hollows where instead of one apartment bit, you can hit entire complexes due to eroding walls allowing you to hit the next apartment building (since they're conjoined) and expand on the already added Hives in those areas.
      But as an arcadey raid for loot experience like you're suggesting, maybe as a Heist type of raid like Prison Heist in DL1 would be cool as a separate location just for fun for said loot. Though one life sounds like it would be way too unfair. Bozak Horde had 3 lives and that was really annoying. But that was also that way because it was designed to be replayed over and over.

      Imo, I think the combat is way better than DL1's. It's more crunchy and Humans don't get unfair invincibility frames as much. The issue though is you're much more dynamic than the enemies and instead of them being dynamic too, they just throw numbers at you. Overall though, DL2 barely beats DL1 in combat for me.

Especially when your character (Aiden) is fairly OP after having certain perks … even with the new features, night is still a walk in the park.
      Run into danger? Trying to escape a chase? Oh, just whip out the stupid paraglider over a vent and float away… no more chase. No need to hide. No need to sneak. Just run to one of the NUMEROUS faction outposts littering every corner. Hop on one of the many ziplines to get away. It’s still very tame when there are mechanics that still allow it to be too easy. Gone are the nights where you debate whether to rush to find a bed and sleep til morning or push through til dawn sneaking everywhere slowly. You can just stay out all night with ease still yet.
      The people who try to claim “no, bro … for real it’s fixed, it’s scary now … Techland added the things back, we promise it’s good now” are in major denial about the state of this game anymore.

    @Crota0100 Рік тому +2

    I agree with your and many other community members sentiments about the poor state of DL2 and the huge disappointment it was compared to earlier trailers, gameplay and even DL1. It is obvious the gameplay has taken the backseat, which could be fine, but the story needed to be top notch. Once the allegations were made, DL2s story was destroyed to remove Avelone's contributions, and greatly impacted the game into the currentend product we received. A poor story can be saved with good gameplay(like DL1), but a combination of a bad story, bugs, and mediocre gameplay(combat is improved for humans, but worse against zombies, being very unsatisfying and floaty; parkour is improved and expanded in many ways, but also feels floaty and it controls very clunky due to the reduced gravity they decided to go for) is something that even the biggest and most hyped AAA game can't survive. We've seen that countless times recently(Cyberpunk 2077, BF2042, most recent CoDs, etc.), DL2 being no exception. Techland made a lot of unnecessary changes for seemingly no reason and many players felt how different DL2 was compared to DL1, mostly for the worse, and quit waiting for updates that actually improve the game. My friends that gave DL2 a chance all quit immediately after they finished the game, most didn't even make it that far. For a game that targeted and focused on returning players they did such a terrible job at even that.
    Ignoring the base game issues that can't/won't be fixed and looking to the future, my biggest gripe with the current direction they have taken is that there is very little reason to keep playing the game. The end game gameplay loop needs to be the focus of the game and it is currently extremely lacking. End game is what keeps the few dedicated players around for any meaningful length of time, even years later as we saw with DL1. The chapters are the only end game content(unless you count repeating random encounters to be content(it's not lol)), and they are pretty monotonous, grinding out the same few missions repeatedly for mostly forgettable rewards(Hunter Crossbow and Ballista Bow are the main rewards to go for and they're both unlocked early in Chapter 2). It's even worse considering once you get all the chapter rewards, there is no in game incentives to keep playing. I guess that doesn't really matter when the core of the game is the larger issue, but you can't do much about that without a massive overhaul. I am done with DL2 unless DLC2 is a massive improvement and return to form, but from what the leaks say it's more of the same.

Now the only bugs I have are: the subtitles that for some reason does not match what Aiden or other npcs are saying during a dialogue. They're just random, sometimes they're even dialogue options LOL. And a bug where the Downtown area (where the bombing occur on the last mission) is filled with Virals but with the Survivors skins. During and after the mission, the virals are just normal npcs. This last one is actually funny ngl.

The new update has made the game even more fun for me. I also don't play co-op so I've never had to deal with any of those issues.

    That part where you showcase the AI mechanics was pure gold.

    I bought the game at launch for Xbox, and totally forgot about the invisible NPC's they were especially prevelant in cutscenes for me.
    But I been playing the original, man dropping the Be a Zombie mode was a big setback for the game, that was so much fun!!!

      Yeah i don't understand why they didn't make a BTZ mode for DL2.
      I mean there is a huge community dedicated to the PVP Mode only, That's the reason people till date play DL1.
      I just hope they make all the right decisions for DL2 this year in 2023, Because there is a lot of games coming this year that can kill the DL2.
