Dying Light 2 discussion thread

Well i bought this yesterday, cant wait to try it. I did notice some things that might need to be changed, including the no walking apparently which is odd.

Also it seems there might not be no guns either.

Still can't wait for this as i really enjoyed the first one.

Anyone else pre ordered this?

Maybe its me but the whole thing oozes a certain slowness to me. Like the game was built for 30 FPS console. I do remember the way I played DL1... lightning quick, snappy.

The same thing echoes in the choices for walking and removing ranged weapons. Strange. Cautious optimism here... I hopy this is not a lazy PC release. Not exactly what I'd expect of Techland either as DL1 was solid.

Thanks for reminding me that this is coming out! 4-2 is close... I'm still working on zombies in State of Decay 2 though, the timing is great, let's see where DL2 lands.

I will be posting pics on release day, though remember i only have a 980ti so need someone with a much better GPU here on TPU to buy it too.

Dying Light 2 Review: Look Before You Leap

Techland's undead sequel improves upon the strongest element of its predecessor, but things like story and characters drag it down.

If just half of this is true, the game is a big fat no for me, and the studio really is one big fuckup like the rumours said.

they just implemented denuvo 3 days before launch.
and what kind of person do you have to be to PRE ORDER a Video Game in these days?

Why not. I really liked DL1 so why not get 2 as well, i have spent money on games not pre ordered and they've been crap, it looks ok to me anyway, if not, shrug.

we’ve included the Denuvo system, at least for the launch period. they might remove it after launch period, to stop MF's not paying for it like they should.

I'm with @Tigger on this one. I totally LOVED DL1 and I have no qualms about preordering DL2. We still get the refund option if within 2 hours we don't like it. That should put most people at ease.

Reviews are all over the place. IGN's also talks about a lot of bugs and such. It seems that bugs aside, most reviews state the main story to be forgettable but side quests on the other hand have been touted as entertaining and running around the rooftops, and combat seems to be liked as well.

It's a tuff one but I think if you loved the first one then you will most likely enjoy the second. I didn't care about the story in DL1 either but I still had a load of fun!

Why are people so eager to play AAA RPGS on day 1?

Jeez, look at any of these, DL1, Skyrim, FO, W3 etc. they all require almost a year of patches and modding before becoming the good games they are.

I played all of those titles on release and enjoyed every one of them.

I'm not always eager for a new release but in the case of Dying Light 2, I enjoyed the first one so much (I still play it) and I have been waiting patiently for release. I want to play on day 1 because I really want to play this game. I love a good co-op game and two of my friends will be running through it with me. It's going to be a blast!

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I have been waiting for this, i cried when it got delayed. Even if it has problems, i will keep it and wait. I bought cyberpunk on release and sat on it for months till it was loads better, not fussed.

 

[Mussels]

uh oh


i WAS excited

 

[Octopuss]

If they butchered the story, characters and voice acting, I will skip this. You can fix bugs, textures, whatever, but you can't fix the design.

 

[Mindweaver]

Yeah I can't wait to play this game. I hope they add VR support like they did with DL 1. I just hope it's better supported with VR controls. The first one you had to use m&k or xbox controller.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

buzzing for tomorrow, can't wait.

Downloading files on steam now

I'll probably pick it up tomorrow but I have bought way to much stuff lately. lol I have a huge backlog of games that I haven't even installed yet. haha I'm playing Resident evil 4 in VR right now on my Oculus I mean Meta Quest 2. The graphics are dated on a monitor but it looks amazing in VR for a AIO VR hmd. It's nothing compared to HLA or even this but honestly this will be amazing in VR if they add support.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I have 2 or 3 i am playing too, Gedonia, Swords 'n Magic and Stuff, plus some on the Switch emu, but it will probably be mostly this from tomorrow.

 

[Splinterdog]

In my location DL2 is $32 on Epic and I still have a $10 coupon so I'd be getting the game for less than half price!
That's very tempting as I really enjoyed DL1 and all the DLCs. It also looks more colourful instead of that brownish hue, so reminiscent of Far Cry 2.
Not sure about the no walking though, although I spend most of my time in zombie games running away from the buggers so that's probably not an issue for me .

 

[WhiteNoise]

Can't wait!!

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Can't wait!! Unlocks at 4 PM PST. I had hoped for earlier...bummer.

How long have i got to wait UK

Map says midnight tonight?

Can't wait!!

Los Angeles 4pm tonight.

Dont play Dying Light 2 at night - its murder

Looks like the Ray Tracing implementation is outstanding but only on high end Nvidia cards. Dead in the water for Radeon GPUs, even the high end ones for ray tracing.

 

[dgianstefani]

Can stretch the legs of my 3080ti, haven't played anything except War Thunder and Tarkov, which only have DLSS.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Well it looks good, even with my 980ti. Runs pretty well but seems laggy but could be my settings are too high for it. Looks like the new rad is good though, temps are nice.

Reading in a steam thread, it might be a bit tough/er to run, but it is a new AAA game so suppose its expected.

 

[wolf]

RT has a massive hit in this game but looks to be a properly transformative showcase for the tech, can't wait to make my 3080 sweat with the bells and whistles all on.

 

[AlwaysHope]

Never got into this series.... until now!
Reminds me a bit of FO.
