Pros
- I had the fortune to play the 2nd one recently for the first time. I see why it had all those issues at launch. But it's come a LONG way. Anyone that played at launch should revisit it.
- I am still on a gtx1070 and can play dying light 2 on 3440x1440.
- Parent context: I don't understand where you guys are coming from, DL2 was a lot more fun than DL1. Prettier, rpg choices, better city, better story (though that's not saying a lot, both are very meh stories). Reply: don't forget worse c...
- I don't understand where you guys are coming from, DL2 was a lot more fun than DL1. Prettier, rpg choices, better city, better story (though that's not saying a lot, both are very meh stories).
- holy shit Dying Light 2 is an improvement over the first one. I love the first game but man the movement, skills, variety of zombies and humans, the decisions, story and music are so much better.
Cons
- Definitely the location suffered: the first one nailed the feel of a city with varied topography and culture, and the DLC had an amazing rural and small town area with fun driving. Dying Light 2 just had a flat generic European city, fol...
- Parent context: Yeah tried dying light 2 and didn't like it, but really enjoyed dead island 2 and platinum it. Reply: Dying light 2 is ass.
- Dead island 2 was better than dying light 2
- I loved the first one but found the second to be a regression.
- But in Dying Light 2, I feel like something has changed... The zombies are more "rigid," as if they were pre-made animations; my hits have no impact whatsoever.

Definitely the location suffered: the first one nailed the feel of a city with varied topography and culture, and the DLC had an amazing rural and small town area with fun driving. Dying Light 2 just had a flat generic European city, followed by generic skyscrapers.

Especially after how Dying Light 2’s launch issues really tanked the reputation of the game.
I remember dying light 2 being the same. So many articles and dev comments before it launched, maybe it's just part of their way of marketing.
Especially when 2 was 5 miles wide and an inch deep Like the side characters and missions were so hoaky
