Dying Light

Re: Dying Light

Ok so either I suck or just can't get the running and jumping thing down very well feels a little different then most games I have played. So I am asking for some help on a certain point will put in spoilers so I don't ruin anything for people who haven't played this part yet. It's the Mother's Day side mission.

Spoiler

ok got the chocolate and tape gave it to Gazi. It says enter through the roof to Gazi's house. Found the catwalks it wants me to take to get above his house. I make the first jump and head through to the 2nd. I have tried this at least 5 times and miss every time while falling to my death. Anybody got a tip on how to make it? It's where the walkway has broken off on both sides and I have tried to grab the ledge on the other side but it's like there is nothing to grab and can't seem to jump far enough to just stick a landing.

And on a side note I hate the controls to this game. I wish it would let me remap all of it the way I want to. PS4 version by the way

Spoiler

I actually just finished this. I ran all the way and got on the highway and then carefully dropped down onto the top of the house. The door is in the roof, it's not what you expect.

Re: Dying Light

This game is actually a lot harder than the first few "intro" missions make it seem. You really need to take your time and stock up on supplies and craft items to help yourself down the line. Haven't been able to join anybody's cooperative for more than a minute or two yet, anyone else having that problem?

Re: Dying Light

Finished the prologue.

Game is fun so that's really the most important thing.
It's pretty much Dead Island but IMO better so far.
Nothing Earth shattering but a good filler game to waste time.

And yes you really need to take your time and scavenge for supplies and be careful of surroundings. I especially take time when lock picking. Not sure how scarce lock picks will be (You can craft them though) so I cringe when I broke one (Which I've only broke 1 so far).

Picked up a couple side missions so far.
As far as the story goes I have no problems with it.
Spoilered but not really any spoilers...

Spoiler

Typical infection/ cure mystery with obvious tones of possible corruption. Not that far in but that's the tone I get.

Still wish sprint wasn't on L3 but getting used to it. Running around will get better the more things you open up in skill tree.
Skill tree consists of:
Survivor Tree:
Agility Tree
Power Tree

Looks to be a fun game in the end. If you liked Dead Island you'll like this.

Dying Light

Game was fun until I got to the part where I had to activate those things for night defense or whatever. Literally like 10 minutes into the game. Just couldn't get my guy to jump onto the pole and stay on it. Very annoying. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Not a fan of trying something so simple multiple times. Controls just seemed clunky. Hoping I just not used to them yet but I feel jumping and hanging onto a pole 10 minutes into a game should not be so frustrating.

Re: Dying Light

Just watched a walkthrough and it looked so simple haha. I was probably just tired. It was getting late and I need to get up for work. I'll figure it out tomorrow.

Did you climb the pole next to it and then jump over to the pole you need ala Tomb Raider/Uncharted style? Didn't take me long at all.

I agree the controls feel a bit stiff but I've gotten used to them. Biggest thing as mentioned, was sprint on L3.

Re: Dying Light

I was planning my new PC build in February, but Dying Light just confirmed its required. I can't currently run it with my 8 year old build on min settings.

Re: Dying Light

Yeah I did. Kept falling off the second one. I'm sure I'll get it first try tonight.

Re: Dying Light

Im feeling this game so far. Played 3 hours or so last night, starting it up early today. I enjoyed Dead Island and was anticipating something similar, but this game is miles better. It is quite challenging at times but not so much so that it is frustrating (yet).

Glad my impulse buying problem finally got one right this time.

Re: Dying Light

After a full day of playing, I'm definitely liking this game a lot. It doesn't do any one thing particularly exceptionally, but it does do a good job at what it tries to do. It doesn't blow me away in anyway, but it still is a lot of fun for me.

Re: Dying Light

I'm having fun with this but they need to patch a few things. I was clearing out a safe zone last night that had three regular zombies and one big dude. I was able to pick off the three regular ones by drawing them away from the group one at a time, and then I went after the big guy once I had him alone. I eventually killed him (it takes a couple minutes, if you haven't tried yet) and right when I did the three regular zombies spawned right on top of me. There's no reason they can't disable timed respawn points when you're in their proximity. They better fix that.

Re: Dying Light

Did they go over board with the darkness or do I have something setup wrong? I was just running to a safe house early in the game and I couldn't even see what was in front of me. Needed to turn gamma all the way up.

Re: Dying Light

how open is it in terms of missions and things to do outside of just the main quest. Are there side quests and an open world?

It's purposeful. Gotta use your flashlight.

Yeah very open. Tons of stuff to get done. I have about 8 side quests active and it says I am 13% through the story.

There are side quests available at a lot of the settlements/safe houses, plus job board quests, parkour races, airdrops you can chase down for rewards, and some stuff to collect I think.
