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?

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.

​

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 .

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.

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.

I consider myself pretty good at the 2 other games,but for some reason i dont know how to do nice parkour on this game.I get stuck with many objects or climb when tryng to wallride,its probably a skill issue but im sure there is something im doing wrong and i dont know yet what is it.DL2 felt incredibly smooth and i even expend arround 100 hours only doing parkour arround the city.DL1 was simple but fast and fun.But with this one im not enjoying the parkour so far simply because i dont manage to make good plays

I spent 20 minutes emptying 6 different ranged weapons ammo all to his head and it didn't even break his helmet.

Basically I was like at the start of the game and I was just curious so I searched up dying light one porn and I kid you not the first pic that came up was a zombie jade giving the gawk so I immediately shut it but was weirdly turned on. Anyway I tried to ignore it and hoped that was just an artistic choice but halfway through the game jade gets kidnapped and I could just sense that the spoiler was true. So that mission was sad cuz it was like inevitable. When Kyle says he's going to cure jade instead of him I knew she is going to be a zombie and I was like damn it was true . Anyway lesson of the day is don't be horny

CDPR continues to deliver meaningful content, improvements, and polish for Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3, while Dying Light: The Beast still suffers from blurry, low-resolution visuals on consoles, with no Balanced Mode or meaningful image-quality improvements.

Techland CEO Paweł Marchewka confirmed that no substantial new content is planned for The Beast. He also explained that long-term support can disrupt development, pointing out that players expect frequent, high-quality updates, often for free.

Apparently, expecting substantial, high-quality content for free is unreasonable. Fair enough. But console players are still dealing with blurry visuals and low resolution in a game they paid for.

We're not beggars. We want quality content worth paying for, whether it's DLC or new updates. We also expect a properly polished game for the money we paid, whether on PC or console. Meanwhile, Techland seems ready to move on while these console image-quality issues remain unresolved. Honestly, it's embarrassing.
