Maybe wait and get The Beast when its out, but that'll be £30. If you want scarier atmosphere DL1 is still better, in every way.

They ruined most of the mechanics. No skeleton system, barely any ambient noise, hell even night time is safer in the second game; 0 to little tension unlike the 1st. You've done a terrible job of convincing anyone here to give this a try or another in my case.

[@Hewasnumber1]

Night time is way more dangerous in Dying Light 2 than in 1. You have to try really hard to avoid volatile lines of sight, and you still get into plenty of chases. In Dying Light 1 you’re able to break a chase in forty seconds, but in Dying Light 2 after the updates I’m scrambling up and down to try to break line of sight and get some distance. I even started ducking into bushes in an attempt to hide from the zombies, and it only works about half of the time. Night time in Dying Light 2 is way more intense than 1’s ever was now, you should try playing the game from the beginning again.

[@Hikaeme-od3zq]

​​@@Hewasnumber1 It's more dangerous (is it even?) for the wrong reasons tho: Since the game suffers from a CLEAR lack of direction, and it can be seen from the fact that they absolutely butchered the ambience and mood of the game, the nights are more "dangerous" only to compensate from the lack of actual good buildup. The nights in DL1 are just well made and are incorporated in this survival horror, open world, sandbox game that DL1 was. I can't help but feel as though if they actually nailed the ambience and mood of the game, the nights would've been REALLY better in DL2.

I was looking forward to this game more than just about any other game that I can remember. When it came out I just felt betrayed....no other way to say it! They took my gritty zombie game, made it arcadey. With health bars above zombies and an agregious over the top UI. Doubled down on the Human combat. Which was the worst part of DL1 in my opinion. I loved the part in DL1 where u constantly felt like zombies were sneaking up on you from behind when u were in the city streets. Added real tension. I can't even bring myself to play this new entry. Have tried and just quit out. Still hurts to this day this betrayal if Im honest? Anyone else feel this way?

[@blackister4768]

Cut the choices and consequences of the game and you already have a better game. Linear stories are not bad, its simple and straight to the point. You could probably still have multiple endings with hakon, lawan or solo but it doesn't matter anyway. The game is rigged from the very beginning, they started with a broken game that is still broken to this day, even tho they did some good changes but the player count can talk for itself, people don't care about this game anymore and barely no one is streaming, doing videos about it or whatever. Techland is not a bad company, but they F up pretty hard and should have not promised 5 years of content. I think it would be better if they just started to work on dl3 right after the game was released and maybe do some fixes for the game here and there, release a dlc and done, this game can't really be fixed and they proved it with the announcement of The Beast.

[@malman_is_boiiii]

I like Lawan and Hakon but at the same time I'm kind of worried for myself around them since I feel like they want something from me but they never say. I feel that way since Hakon saved me from the bazarians for no reason and helped me so much for no reason and here comes another character called Lawan who caught me hanging out with her ex yet she saves me from Waltz and helps me out again and again and for what?!?!

What i also noticed is that during the playthrough it is shown that Jack Matt has some kind of Illness indicated by his coughing, especially during the VNC tower mission. And its deliberately shown during the cutscene where the PKs enter the elevator however this never got picked up again and just seems like some plot point they just forgot about.

[@williammcleroy558]

Nothing like being OP throughout the game only to have a cutscene take over your character and show what a chump you are.

Also get weird looks from my wife while going into a dark area and Aiden suddenly starts making all those goofy sounds like he's about to... Well... You know... 😂

I honestly just started watching KZbin videos on my second screen while playing through the game, The characters and story were boring af. Never had the urge to do that on DL1 even after 3 or so play throughs. Running around the world doing activities such as air drops and wind mills was fun like that though.

[@lucasmuller858]

The storytellinng in dl1 is so much better than dl2,like with the bug who make zombies disapear,you can have a full time exploring the maps and try to figure out what happened,thanks to the multiple blood marks or dead bodies,destroyed/crash cars,you can conclude this was a mess + with thr detail of the dead bodies which flies are all around,u can say it is hot in harran.

[@Noah_112]

When I Heard about The beast is taking those feature in Dl2 I got really hyped!! 🎉

[@timgreenwald1043]

The thing I absolutely hate about the game is the grinding to upgrade blueprints. When the game first came out it was an artificial way to extend gameplay, but also because you were farming volatiles it made the volatiles less scary. You started seeing the monsters as currency and would simply use the easiest methods to farm their materials. If you played the game normally and ran away from volatiles, or if you killed one during a chase, you don't really have time to gather materials to properly farm for upgrades. the Cycle of gameplay made no sense. Same thing with adding weapons with stats on it, no point in farming for the best weapon (with the best stats) if you are going to eventually lose it and can't repair it (which they eventually fixed by adding repairing). The RPG-like aspects of this game shouldn't have been added with zero forethought.

[@ragnarfrost569]

We better see you wickedly slaying snow fishes in monster hunter soon😂

[@Pilgrimetro]

The choices ruined many games, including mine, I accidentally sided with Juan, which for some reason locks you into him ruling the city for this one decision in the middle of the game, and you also get Locked out of the Hakon church fight which means Lawan dies during the blast, you are also forced to go against jack matt, and frank dies no matter what, all from giving Juan the radio tower, the problem is it makes the game very confusing from this one choice that 33% of the players made, they should have made it more clear that this would be the evil/kill everyone route but they don’t…

the prefer dying light 2 since for me the over all gameplay is much better like the combat feeling funner and the parkour is smoother even tho the story sort of poopy atleast we got a final boss that isnt a qte. i like the stealth part since it does work not always very well. some people do complain that alot of the buildings are copy and pasted with i can agree with but most towns cities are close enough the same and the layout inside are also close enough like the ones in real life and its the same as the first game have the same problem but not as much yeah the first game is fun and the story is better the combat feels alittle less fun since once u get a gun ur more likely going to use that. in the second game i only use the guns on big boys or the nighttime boys i prefer using the bows one normal enemies. dont want to add more to this since dont want to make it too long

my conclusion as of yet, both games are equally good but i like dl2 more ok, so i haven't finished the game yet, but i love the game, funny thing because the ai is different from dl1 it's way scarrier for me, i can set it from, no pain no gain lighting to aaaaaaa wtf the darkness is touching me cheecks! essentially i haven't played the game for like 6 months (some friendship issues) i played it and i was like, ah so volatiles spawn on roofs now, that's pretty cool, so i went inside a building and had an volatile jump and climb trough a hole in the wall and then clap my cheecks in a corner. peak gameplay honestly, altho we need a difficulty mode called ''realism'' essentially, get caugh in the dark? you get ur cheecks clapped, you can bleed out, actually you know what, just make project zomboid but dying light, imagine! you miss your jump and breake your leg now you have to limp to a safe zone, perhaps splint will speed up the healing? no clue, anyways words of wisdom, there are fun and good bugs, like dl1 borderlands 2,3 and just cause 2,3 but there are bad bugs like ur save being lost or getting stuck in a wall forever) also i like how colourful the game is, also there still is the setting to make the game more bleak, not sure how long it took you to make the video but fair enough

[@SethKnox]

Even though I prefer the first DL by quite a bit, I did very much enjoy DL2. An important factor, though, is that even from launch I rarely experienced any bugs in the game (and none of them significant) (it should probably be noted that I only play solo, not multi-player). Now, if I had experienced the issues others were reporting, I would have been extremely disappointed with the game. Re: the story--it's not good (nor was the story in the first game); that said, my expectations for story in the zombie genre (regardless of medium--game, film, etc.) are not high. I think my biggest complaint about DL2 remains the copy-and-paste feel of the map. There have been some minor improvements with recent updates, but it's still painfully obvious. I found myself using the map in DL2 much more than in DL1 simply because I couldn't tell where I was much of the time in DL2 (many of the streets and building interiors looked the same).

Unfortunately i bought the 100$ package to top it off

[@corvusgaming2379]

I've beaten both games, and I love both games. But it all boils down to something that was pretty much discussed already: DL1 has the better story, but DL2 has the fluid parkour.

[@calebb7012]

Nothing to run from in DL2. It's laughable there's better enemies in the 1st game.

[@Hewasnumber1]

Dying Light 2 has the better story for me. Crane is the only thing making the story even slightly tolerable; and it’s not from a high investment into Crane’s struggles and goals, no, it’s because he makes the awful story funny. Whereas Dying Light 2, for all its story faults, at least gave me a really good time with roleplaying. I think people have a more negative opinion of the game’s story when they try to do the "right" thing all the time. Being a goody-two-shoes is just boring and keeps the story shallow. I played the game making Aiden prioritize his quest to find Mia above all else (with a few exceptions at the end of the game). Playing the game with a morally grey Aiden who tries to navigate a treacherous political scene to get what he wanted, but still trying to do the right thing when possible made the game way more interesting.

[@corvusgaming2379]

@@Hewasnumber1 The difference in protagonists make quite the difference, as Aiden is a survivor, Crane isn’t. He’s an agent that becomes a survivor. He’s purely trying to help the original survivors, while Aiden has his own goals, but, of course, each to their own.

[@epgamer1145]

Let’s be real. DL2 is an improvement across the board. Now I’ll admit, crap like the sun not actually setting and other small over looked details that generally the player won’t notice, does still occur. Every core aspect of the game is an improvement through. Replay value of the story for different endings. An extreme upstage in combat and parkour along a few other additions. Graphics are a major bump. Combat is amazing. The largest cast of different enemies to fight. The scare factor of the night is increased especially after all the increased updates to chases. People who say it doesn’t have that mission where the scare is so rememberable, they obviously skip the hospital mission.

[@jimmyhackers8980]

i didnt like the game mainly because of the map.....it felt wrong somehow, too colourful, to much high tech, it wasnt interesting to explore. its like they half assed copied the cyber punk city, especially with all those bright neon 80s colours.

[@asaptrex285]

Bad game at launch, pretty good now

[@sbeltred]

i wont even lie. side missions in DL1 was SO FUCKIN DREADFUL. it just doesnt hook you in. and for some reason there was something about the side missions in DL2 that was actually enjoyable for me, sometimes i'd even forget that i was playing a side mission.

[@Williamafton1983.]

Fr it ain’t that bad now

[@zay_tiggygaming]

I love both. Have 500+ hours on the second, and about 160 on the first. I loved the atmosphere, physics and sunsets in the first but everything felt super clunky and there was no block button and lackluster parkour. The second feels much better for me with customization, blocking, parkour and combat. The hate used to be deserved but now it’s just a running bad joke. Both games are great and both are better than the other in specific areas, but you’re right this was a good sequel because it expanded on most elements in the first like sequels should do. They messed up by folding and adding guns instead of makeshift weapons. They should have stuck to their vision cuz people still complain anyway. I never thought it was a terrible game. I bought it after a year and gave it a 7. Now it’s a solid 8.5. I still give the first a 9.

had a rocky start but techland has been improving it ever since. and i praise them for not abandoning their games like other companys and ppl still give them sht

Dying Light 2 is pure downgrade to its 1st game with the only new thing is a different parkour system

[@stormmrage.2526]

I dont care about story DL2 cuz this still be cancer, aaaaaand Techland begin sucking at making games, i will not be shocked if they will forget about DL2 to make DL the beast, the same way as they stop working on DL Bad blood in 2019 for working on DL2 and we got this dumb version of DL2, if they would wait more time and not do mistake of cyberpunk developers

[@Daxer2009]

the biggest problem i have with this game is the parkour I dont know how you can fuck up such an important mechanic but they did, its floaty it doesnt feel natural at all and it was basically perfect in the first one so that makes it even worse. Changing the physic option doesnt help its still to floaty and mods that correct the physics fuck up the collision with enemies and other objects

[@Jikuri]

I can feel my chest slamming to the edge of a rusty roof every time I fell just enough for a grab 🤣

[@ramtinyadegar9509]

Dying Light 1's parkour was floaty too. When you literally get on a car while jumping, you literally float over it which is annoying and doesn't let you jump again, it felt like flying. And the parkour system wasn't deep in the first game.

[@Daxer2009]

@@ramtinyadegar9509 sure from a specific angle but jumping from ledge to ledge and the overall feeling was very good. They just dumped it down in the second one, its like a magnet is following you around

[@DexihandSV01]

I like both games but I think DL1 is overrated. After playing too much DL2 I came back to the first game for the Halloween event, and comparing it to DL2, DL1 feels very clunky and enemies are very tedious to kill with melee weapons, even if you have top tier ones, so you have to rely on instakill abilities and becomes boring after a while. The story of both games are bad and have a lot of moments we're it feels something is missing, but people say DL1 story is good (somehow). What they're both good at is side missions, they have better writing than the main plot. But it annoys me that they say DL1's nights are scary and makes them want to play during daytime until they're strong enough, when they're not scary and aren't difficult at all; the first time I played DL1 I completed the whole story during nighttime because I wanted to level up faster, and the only big difference to daytime is that you have volatiles roaming around, and are very easy to avoid because you rarely find them on rooftops; at release, DL2 didn't have volatiles roaming, and I understand that in this stage of the game nights are just a joke and that's something no one liked, but after the "Good Night, Good Luck" update they brought back volatiles and nights are way more difficult than DL1, even more after they added nightmare difficulty, now there are more differences than just roaming volatiles. And no, DL1 nights aren't darker, they're bright as hell like in DL2, you can see very well without the flashlight.
