MULTI Dying Light 2 : Let Us Parkour Towards a Zombie Banger

[Chandoo]

Gonna wait a few more days to play this so their "working on" list is also full. I generally like to have motion blur off on 60 FPS games, so if they add that as a toggle, that's al the better for me.

Also, please add DRS to Performance mode so people who want to keep it locked 60 can at least get a higher resolution than 1080p.

Just another zombie game bump.

60 fps may object blur hona hcyae bus.

I have logged on more than 15 hours of the game in the first 2 days alone. Game is absolutely amazing. I never got around to play the first Dying Light and I am so glad i didnt miss this one. I am only in the second major area of the game (Central Loop) and I feel this game is going to take much more than that 30-ish hour advertised mark to finish it up. My early impressions are extremely positive atm. There is tons of meaningful things to do here and very sound sense of progression along with it.

I have the same impressions. The parkour/traversal, the level of interactivity, and the verticality are extremely satisfying. The melee combat is a little janky, but it doesn't take much away from the overall experience. Had a coop session with 3 randoms and it was a lot of fun. It's disappointing to see that there's no crossplay whatsoever. Not even between two consoles within the same ecosystem. Here's hoping Techland adds it across all platforms sooner rather than later.

I think it's near impossible to perfect first person melee combat. I don't think I can name any FPS game from the top of my head that nails it. It's just a genre limitation imo. But given the decent variations in combat in this game like drop kicks, mods, throwables etc, it's far better than i actually expected. The main let down, as of now, is the ranged combat. I just got the bow and it takes like 5 arrows to down a normal street zombie.

Janky melee doesn't take much away from a melee action combat game. That's one approach

 

[CerebralTiger]

I rarely engage in melee combat. Usually just jump over and drop kick the enemies in my way

Dishonored (especially 2) comes to mind as a first-person game that did a decent job with melee-based combat. Though, I agree, melee in FPS is very tricky to get right.

Agree about the variety as well. Drop kicks are super satisfying once you unlock the ability to pull them off while falling from a height.

Which is, you know, a melee attack

Not sure how rarely engaging in combat in a melee action game is a vote of confidence

 

[CerebralTiger]

Yeah, but I was referring to melee weapons. Vote of confidence phir bhi dey dia hai. Tme for Necrokiller to get the game and get in on the fun

PSA for Series X players:

Quality mode is overheating the console.

Dying Light 2 |OT| Stay Human OT

Anyone having overheat issues with their XSX and quality mode? For me it’s happened at least 6 times in 10 hours of gaming and I’ve never had it happen before on any game. I read somewhere to try performance mode and it was rock solid for 3 hours so it seems like quality is overtaxing the gpu.

Yes. I tweeted Techland about it but got no response. Switched to Resolution mode and have had no issues since.

Big ooooof.

 

[Radical]

Wow.

#HATAO.

 

[Chandoo]

Wah, that's a first.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Necrokiller's such a big Kirby fan. Blowing things out of proportion and all

 

[Necrokiller]

Yahaan toh the biggest Kirby fan seems to be Techland who is blowing up Series Xs.
