@505PRE So happy they added new game plus and if they balanced Zombie spawns for single player on Neighborhood watch that would make me happy cause I want to play it but I can't cause of the unfair spawns. If they fix this in the next update that would be awesome. And if they increase the level cap to 50 or 70 and add Legendary variants of weapons to the secret casche loot pool and make blood mad whiskey Samari Soward a legendary tier weapon that is all i would hopefully like to see on the next update. Oh and i almost forgot to please make the side quest where you face 4 dredges in that small area and make them a bit easer to kill cause i dont want my hands cramping up and its very frustrating. I know there is a way to do that but i forget how to do that since i havent played the game in a while Please pass this on to the Dead Island 2 development team.

@@BuzzRain The same but with Dead Island 2. I uninstalled it after 1 day and never gave it another chance. Too bad they didn't release the 2014 version of Dead Island 2 (I have the feeling it would be better in some aspects) and the 2018/2019 version of Dying Light 2.

Although DL2 is not as good as the first one they both have their own charm and excel at different areas. I play both of them every now and then, love them both.

[@miketexas4549]

@@TheGhostlyAxe The only thing DL2 has going for it is the improved parkour and the map's vertical aspect. The first game is better in every other way.

They might as well do a full remake at that point, this level of graphical fidelity would need the new engine as the originals were made by Techland’s own Chrome engine, this is in UE4. Also not to mention transferring the games to the UE4 engine might not even be possible without a code rework depending on how the Chrome engine works Also not many people play the old games because they aren’t very great

New Apex enemies are in fact the same as in the base game, except for them became damage sponges, who easily kills you in 2 hits. The difficulty spike on them are ridiculous, to be honest. Though I'm sure some will find them a great challenge, which they definitely are, even if your character is high leveled.

So true . I got killed in one hit by a mutator and I was level 32 . There very hard to kill now . 😂

Dambuster and DI2 are underrated af. The game was made very well especially for today.

[@brycedonelan1937]

The Neighborhood watch is a great mode and i enjoy it but the Enemy spawn for one player is a bit too much and my hand almost cramped up at one point in the game when trying to get the ice cream they kept coming and i couldnt grab it cauze they were all over me so hopefully in the next update they fix this issue to make it playable for single players like me. Now the Campaign had gotten alot better cant wait to try New game plus but currently playing the game on my New primary account so i have to restart over but the only few fixes in my opinion that the campaign needs is. Add Legendary variants of weapons added to the loot pool of Secret caches. ( The ones that are in a room that you need a fuse to open ) and the max level cap needs to be at 50. Also make the God and Whiskey Soward a legendary tier weapon and lastly. Give players the option to modify the Legendary weapons i get from Missions like the Weapon Body count for example so i can kill those dam 4 Dreges in that Side quest in Sola DLC cause either i have a skill issue or im doing that combat tactic part wrong. Besides those flaws, i still love the game. For now if I want a Horde mode I can just activate the Masauginist skill card and go around killing Hoards till they make Neighborhood watch more Fair to Single solo players.

[@sixx2683]

For me it was always fun. Not a great game but a fun one for sure.. The gore system is so satisfying
