It's a shame the writing took a hit here. Chris Avellone was heading a lot of key writing early on, but then got fired after the harassment accusations came out, and the overall writing quality possibly took a dive. Game overall still looks great though, hopefully with some good patches soon too.

I don’t honestly agree that the first dying light gets easier when guns are introduced. Guns sucked not because they reduce tension but because they are awkward to use and have poor feedback. The games systems were not built around shooting guns and it shows but they have some missions versus humans that force you to use them, it is not optional because you’ll get shredded if you don’t. The game gets easier as you play more because you get better skills. Instant break always from zombie grapples and things like that. Guns felt so bad to use, they were an emergency use only or if I was forced to.

Something about the combat doesn't feel right in the sequel. First one felt so visceral, as enemies got completely up In your face, making the camera shake as they stumble into you while you hack a limb off, in this it seems more disconnected somehow, from what I played so far. I also kind of regret buying it on ps5. Instead of pc.. the 60 fps mode runs in 1080p. Its been a while since I saw that resolution, and it looks much more blurry than I remember, switching over to the resolution mode is much crisper, but I don't think I can ever go back to the sluggishness of 30 fps again. Get this on pc if you can, you can't have both clarity and fluidity on console in this case.

Maybe I'm drawing a blank, but has any game yet managed to actually make multiple player choices actually well? I mean one of the larger AAA games... It's so often advertised as a big part in the promotional material and then we always seem to end up with something that doesn't actually carry on much true change and some changes only revolve around few key moments. It'd be refreshing if for once a game managed to actually make choices that feel like they truely matter from beginning to end. Though I guess it's just too much to plan and make, where a game could branch multiple times into different full-rest-of-the-game paths that'd feel unique. Still... I do wish someone'd really go for it. If anyone has recommendations, I'm open to em :)

The game is certainly ambitious. I think it would of had a better story if it was longer. If we had more time to spend with characters and had the plot beats more time to build then moments may have had more impact.

They supported the original Dying Light with new content and updates for longer than anyone ever imagined and they'll likely do the same with DL2. So s lot of the more glaring issues will probably get fixed, although not much can be done about fixing the story without revamping things with story DLC updates.

Even easy allies is getting sick of the same crap. If Easy Allies gives a game a bad review it means it's more of the same. Overhyped mess of a game with the same checklist of things to do go from point a to point b rinse and repeat and once you are overpowered the game is a cake walk. Fun for a couple hours but falls apart and lacks any depth or direction other than that.

Saying fixes and support are coming is all well and good but that doesn't really give much reason to buy the game now. Even as a fan of Dying Light 1 looking at a lot of the response to the game it looks far better to wait and get the game at a reduced price when it's fixed and has more content than buying for full price at launch.
@mikesaporito1373

It's just a shame that the standards are so low for AAA games that we expect them to be in a poor state at launch and wait for the "roadmap" of not just content but basic patches for stability. More big budget games feel like early access beta builds that take a year to feel complete.

I have played it now with my cousin since launch at least 15 hours at this point. Its very buggy but incredibly addicting, almost everything has been improved on except some texture issues and the bugs I mentioned. I highly recommend getting the game if you have someone to play with, the pros far outweigh the cons here and the cons will no doubt be ironed out over the next few months if I had to guess given their track record. Regardless of that opinion, the game is very fun and there's tons to do.

The writing and voice acting is incredibly mediocre - worse than the first game so far. The game really should have been marketed towards those who think gameplay is the only selling factor in games for them. But I've already played the first game twice... This is more of the same in a setting that isn't as creepy as Harran, if at all.

I'm pretty sick of these so called 'choice system games'. Most of them don't really matters and most of the time the ending is ambiguous, leaving different players to their interpretation. They usually don't have a quality ending cut scenes & narrative. Why the fk is it so important to have different endings for different people if the quality of the endings are so shitty~And also there is always a so called 'main ending' for these choices. WTF seriously~!
