Quick backstory: I only got into gaming recently, in my 30s. Had to pick healthier habits 🙃 My best friend who is a life long gamer bought me a PS5, introduced me to some of the best games, after grieving finishing RE 😂 convinced me to give Dying Light a go.

Took me a while, but I got keen. Finally, our schedules aligned and we could play together tonight, just before the final chapter, we're cruising around, exploring, slashing anything that moves, while I'm complaining about how shit my weapons are compared to hers.

AND THEN THIS LEGEND OF A HUMAN joins our session, starts dropping us EVERYTHING YOU COULD EVER WANT 😭 bro joined, casually changes our life and adios 🫡

PICS for reference, storage is full. we could not believe it.

Also I didn't realise my mic was unmuted, so if you're out there, apologies for the swearing and the carry on. 😳 I've never been so stoked

I hope both sides of your pillow are forever cold, every traffic light you hit is green, you never step on Lego barefoot, your sleeves never get wet when washin your hands, May your grappling hook never fail you mid jump, your weapons never break, your medkits never run out, your loot is always legendary like yourself.

May life treat you as generously as you just treated us. I hope the rest of your night, week, year and entire f$#king life is PHENOMENAL. It is that deep.

Personally I actually like her character. She's pretty and her character is one of the better written ones in Dying Light 2 . Not to mention that her outfit is classy too.

My liking for the character grew when I discovered she was voiced by the gorgeous Kosha Engler who has also worked on some of my other favorites like Crysis 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 , and others like Horizon Forbidden West .

Unlike all the other characters trying to send Aiden on errands or getting favors out of him , she tried really help him without any pre imposed conditions. According to the cut content it is hugely implied that she is actually Aiden's mother (due to the fact that her son Paul who went "missing" 15 years ago would roughly be the same age as Aiden if alive and they do share some resemblance ) and also originally she was going to have a larger mentor like role in the original script .It's tragic how her fate turned out but for me she's one of the best npcs in Dying Light 2.

But tell me folks what do you think about her?

I need help for a online trophy in dying light 1 need 3 more players

How fucked are we if they are given the T-Virus?

So I completed the base game on hard mode and am coming back to play the DLC’s sense I picked them up on discount, but I’m not really sure about what to do first, between changing the difficulty to nightmare and/or maybe starting new game plus, and the Harran Prison, Hellraid DLC, and the Following DLC, I’m not really sure what to do first, I’m seeing that the Harran Prison is supposedly challenging so should i save it for last? I also see some people really recommend new game plus on nightmare

Summarized: Would you recommend staying on Hard mode or switching to nightmare? Furthermore, should I new game plus? Also in what order should I do the 3 DLCS I mentioned.

Anyone free to play dying light on playstation please? Just need one more person

Dying Light 1 and 2 are some of those games I have over 200 hours in right next to Mass Effect Legendary Edition and The Witcher 3 . Dying Light the Beast was a much more compact "sequel" so I didn't have much to do once I was done with the main story and side content. However like the previous games I was hoping for some massive expansion , but was disappointed to see Techland abandon a game which came out only about an year ago.

Now contrary to popular opinion , Dying Light franchise has never delivered "solid" stories. Dying Light 2 tried by hiring Chris Avellone (whom they fired too shortly) and by trying to please everyone they pleased no one. Dying Light The Beast was a much more step up in the right direction including best elements from 1 and 2. The parkour was okay except that fact that there were really not many areas you could parkour in freely so that really soured my taste a bit.

Now seeing the recent developments in Techland regarding Dying Light . I like to believe they are retconning parts of the story of Dying Light 2 to better fit a sequel. Not only did they remove the prologue they removed chunks of dialogue and interactions throughout the game , and they were the most important ones because they gave insight into the world building and factions. And with them pushing microtransactions into each sequel more heavily than the last time I like to believe they are pushing for a more live service model.

For the final year of support they didn't add new content to Dying Light 2 but rather removed existing content and just advertised player mods as adding "new content ".

They also said in the livestream that they are reconsidering the 5 year support model saying that "it hasn't quite worked for them" and costed them resources and time. Also with their long time CEO leaving I highly doubt that's a coincidence considering that Dying Light was literally his magnum opus . People like to blame Tencent for the live service stuff but I don't think Tencent alone is to blame here. Techland once said multiple Dying Light games were in early development, however in the last QNA they said that they havent really decided on any concrete ideas regarding where the story will go and they can't really tell anything. My best guess is that next step will be that they will really stop listening to their playerbase completely and push their liveservice events and microtransactions with bundles unnecessarily.

This year was already bad with EA cancelling the much anticipated Mass Effect 5 and Ubisoft cancelling Prince of Persia remake now if even Techland pulls a 180 with Dying Light I guess it's time for me to abandon this franchise for good .

​

Dying Light: The Beast has huge potential for future DLC, and some players are ready to pay for more content. There’s room for new stories, locations, and gameplay. We’re not asking for endless free content—we want Techland to build on that potential instead of leaving it behind.

The CEO talks about the pressure of delivering high-quality free updates, but paid DLC is a different story—players are willing to pay for good content. As always, it feels like these CEOs are completely out of touch with what players actually want. We want worthwhile paid DLC, meaningful improvements, and a game that's properly supported, not excuses about the challenges of free content.

Meanwhile, the game still suffers from blurry, low-resolution visuals on consoles, with no Balanced Mode or meaningful image-quality improvements. Players have been asking for PSSR on PS5 Pro, but Techland hasn't even implemented it. Now that QSSR is available for base PS5, will Techland consider using it to improve image quality?

CDPR continues to support and improve Cyberpunk 2077. Moving on to new projects shouldn't mean leaving existing problems behind.

I also played STALKER 2. GSC listened to players' complaints about frame drops and kept improving performance until the issue was resolved. Techland, on the other hand, continues to ignore our complaints about blurry visuals.

The community is part of the problem, too. Not noticing an issue doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Dismissing criticism just because you don't experience it yourself only makes it easier for developers to ignore.

🟥And that's how we end up here: players willing to pay for more content, unresolved problems being pushed aside, and criticism dismissed instead of taken seriously. If we keep accepting lower standards and defending every decision, we're all going to lose.

The game has potential. We want great DLC, meaningful improvements, honest communication, and accountability—not excuses.

ElAnalistaDeBits – Dying Light: The Beast console graphics comparison

The ElAnalistaDeBits comparison is worth checking alongside these reports. Low internal rendering resolution in Performance Mode is a major factor behind the blurry image. These recurring reports show that this isn't simply one person's complaint.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

LOPPU.

So I decided to re download dying light 2 just for fun since I haven’t played it in so long. Loading up the game was fine until I went to actually load my save file. Color me surprised when I get an ad for the wolf bundle… in my loading screen… of my 60 dollar game. I know I can’t push the blame if this entirely on techland as part of this can be contributed to tencent and their bullshit but ads in loading screens, really? This is beyond ridiculous locking DLCs to an in game store was already bullshit but putting ad on loading screens is several steps past the line of greed and is now just going into excessive greed.

After a year I have entered the game because I missed playing it, however I do not remember it running this smoothly, I used to have a big bottleneck in the city area I guess it was not optimized good enough, however now im constantly hovering 180 fps with frame gen, and maxed out raytracing, i used to have around 90 and dips to 60 fps..

Im glad they fixed the performance issues.

Pc specs are:
RTX 4070 SUPER
Ryzen 7 5700x3D
32GB DDR4 3600MT/s
SSD 1TB LEXAR

Anyone else?

I picked up DL2 on Essentials (for free, my favourite kind of price). I have played through DL1 (& The Gathering) a couple of times because, in my humble opinion, it is the definitive zombie survival game, and I still fondly remember scrambling over rooftops in the dark with just a chair leg for defence....

Anyway, DL2. I have been pleasantly surprised. The combat is fun (but once you get the bow and throwing knives, I feel a bit overpowered), parkour is really good, and I enjoy the timing of it. It did take a bit of getting used to, but I like it. Nighttime adventuring is still a hoot, and the volatiles are...challenging. Love the GRE buildings...but don't like military convoys respawning.

What I don't like is the environment...it's very samey, and I use the map A LOT. In DL1, you got to know the neighbourhoods and use landmarks as waypoints. The other thing is that the story is a bit...dull? I dunno; I just don't really care that much, no idea why. I don't really feel motivated. The characters all feel like NPCs; that doesn't help.

Overall, though, I am really enjoying it.

So about a week ago, I started having problems joining people’s games, public and my friends, whenever I get and invite or quick join in either game, it just gives me the message connection could not be established. Which is weird because I’ve never had problems this extensive with playing online in both games, I’ve contacted techland support and told me to delete and redownload the games on my internal storage (I’m on Xbox and use a storage expansion for most games) so I did earlier today, still doesn’t work, I’ve reset my router, messed with my dns settings and nothing seems to work, thing is I can play dl1 online perfectly fine no problems, it’s only the beast and 2 I have problems with, anyone know a fix for this?

And this is without the legend levels. I know this will get a lot of people mad. Dying Light 1 Crane was much stronger in every possible aspect than Dying Light the Beast Crane, even though by the lore he is supposed to be stronger. More stamina, more strength, more health, more damage, can fight longer without taking a break, the weapons are stronger, basically everything. It was still fun.

So, I haven't played any Dying Light games, but I've been wanting to play them recently, I just didn't know which one to start with first. I always hear that Dying Light II is not so good, so I don't know if I'll start with that one. Any suggestions?

Dm me if you are interested

Why's Mr. Bolt out in the day no Volatiles to protect your unaware ass.
