When developers actually listen... (Dying Light 2 New Finishers)

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Check out my new video on the full list of changes in the update! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2mlfmSZjr-tjas

[@ZombfectedGaming349]

Techland is just always nailing it with these quality of life changes

[@DiabolicalMeek]

True, more of this and less Dying Light points!

[@bespecheeze]

got like 3 more years of this beauty

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Let's hope. And let's hope they don't pull another DL points bullshit with us during that time@@bespecheeze

Until certain points come into discussion

[@bespecheeze]

@@void7837 it's weapon finishers. the previous game didn't have this. go touch some grass.

[@vertical_parallel]

these animations are so clean. i just wish lowering enemy stamina wasn't so annoying

[@DiabolicalMeek]

True that, should make it after stuns and dodges too

[@vertical_parallel]

@@DiabolicalMeek agreed

[@coconutcarl28]

I love how techland actually listens to what the community wants

[@DiabolicalMeek]

While the DL point fiasco and shity events for like 3 months were kinda of a slap in the face, this update and even have stored some faith back into techland tbh

[@Degenerate_Gamertag]

Community: please don't add microtransactions. Techland: how bout I do anyway?

[@Josh_bunford]

Techland will make the most amazing update then a terrible one then another great one

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Literally, they just can't make up their mind if they wanna release pure shit or make something amazing...

[@Pointman11111]

It's like as if Techland has 2 directors working on DL2 in shifts lol

[@mrfacestab5758]

50/50

Just like the shares Tencent bought!@@mrfacestab5758

[@latishaleake2469]

I tried it out it is great.one thing i wanna tell all of yall.that vibrations on controllers are back on all platforms when you hit a enemy. and i notice that the way you kick in the game is different then before

[@itznazz3137]

I was So happy when the vibration was working after a year plus.

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Good to know they still add little stuff like that to concoles too!

[@gvttz]

Also the stomp has a new animation added

How do you do them ? I been trying to figure it out for 15 min I can't do one

[@zero_dyinglightYT]

my fav is def the new charge tackle! you can punch the enemy while falling and you can paraglide ur way down or more!

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Hit em with weapons that don't kill or fists and drain their stamina, than you get the takedown prompt @@adam.119

[@mistakables3682]

They should change it so you can preform a finisher once a third of their health has gone or something like that, either way I’m extremely happy with these new updates techland are doing a great job

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Agreed, but I think stuns or dodges would be even better

[@mistakables3682]

yeah that would be awesome@@DiabolicalMeek

[@jerzyk7724]

I have everything on 1-2 hits, It's hard to preform a finisher for me. There should be a way to stun a zombie in DL1. It's literally useless for me in the curent state

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Kinda true, they should add it if you do a perfect dodge like in DL1

[@azzrahhell]

same for me

[@Dennis-yg7vu]

Yeah some infected already die when i kick them :(

[@crossycross6417]

Its poorly implemented. You need to drain the zombies stamina, which is hard to do.

[@NicknameJytown]

Yea it should be like dead island 2

[@NSD150]

Especially when the majority of players can just one hit everything now.

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Yeah or have it with perfect dodges like in DL1

[@kame_sennin420]

or stunt hit @@DiabolicalMeek

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Yeah@@kame_sennin420

[@PsychoRavager]

A simple fix for the stamina issue is have the finisher available as something you can perform when an enemy is near death even at full stamina. Games like God of War (2018) and AC Valhalla have these weird issues pop up, too, since their finishers are also tied to draining a meter or activating a particular move during a very specific moment, especially in the latter game mentioned. And then there are games like Gotham Knights or Splinter Cell: Blacklist where activation is only partially reliable, final-enemy finishers in the former and the mark-and-execute takedowns in the latter. It's why I love games like the Batman Arkham ones, Sleeping Dogs, Mad Max, and so on that don't confuse the players as to what's going on to get the cooler side of combat to work. It's mechanically consistent. Seems to be a problem as soon as damage numbers and leveling are included. Even the original Dying Light had its finishers so easy to come across. Dead Island 2 seems to manage well in that regard, too.

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Yeah, just make them possible with perfect dodges, blocks or just stunned enemies and it should be fine

[@thatmemeguy6487]

Personally it should have more of a variety but I'm happy finishers is here now and its satisfying.

[@DiabolicalMeek]

They already said that this is the first patch and they will be adding new ones in the near future, so you don't have to worry, just in case you missed that :D

[@guuch_sniffer]

the x-ray is fucking amazing for the neck snap finisher

i miss grabbing a biters arm and then neck snap from dl1 and sort of makes a return in dl2, the dl points are still cringe but i gotta give it to techland for still listening the community

[@DiabolicalMeek]

Yeah, they need to get their shit together. One update is really good and gives what we want only for it to be followed by utter shit like dl points and garbage events for 3 months back to back. And now another really decent update. Talk about inconsistent :D

[@lordrosen4507]

Dead island 2 is in trouble now

[@DiabolicalMeek]

I mean they are still different that both have stuff to offer. We just have to hope that the DL points shit woun't become worse as it already is. Otherwise people are just going to quit even with good updates like this.

[@kennysterlingz6031]

Now they need to add a rage mode that turn Aiden into viral form like in dead island 2

That critical hit sound effect💀💀💀💀

[@DiabolicalMeek]

The critical nutshot gives 2x damage

[@pleasetellmehowamialive4858]

Looked forward to the repair option. But for some reason it costs 3x more credits that just crafting a new one which makes it a pointless option.

[@DiabolicalMeek]

It will be useful for creat weapons thou but yeah for crafted stuff, not so much

[@Old_Zven]

I'll probably use it on certain non-craftable weapons

[@ultradeathboy]

Well to be fair if you wanted to craft another weapon you'd also have to spend resources on the mods

[@Ąțłąś-0-0-7]

There is a weapon amulet that can be used to repair the weapon for 400 mutation samples

[@dc3747]

​@N7Commander_Shepard the korek charm sadly had its effects changed so now you can't repair your weapon on the go

[@FancyCat69]

I'll be sure to give this game a go with my brother once we finish all of the first dying light. I was never able to finish this game because at the time I couldn't really find enjoyment in it but all these changes do make the game look enticing again.

[@ultradeathboy]

Everything except the story is good. Traversal, combat, gore, weapons, enemies, graphics, cutscenes. You name it, but a lot of story related things like the characters and the plot aren't very interesting. Except the VNC mission, that's probably the best mission in the game

Or the fact that this is still a full-price 60 euro game that put in a free-to-play module?
