Re: Dying Light 2

I also loved Dying Light. I am really looking forward to this. The only reason I might not preorder it is because of the possibility (likelihood?) of technical issues at launch which is all to common these days. I know this game has been delayed (hopefully to avoid these types of issues).

Either way, this is probably my most wanted game right now.

I see this got pushed back to Feb 4, 2022... Hopefully won't be pushed back again.

This can be played solo right?

It was delayed a few months ago as the original release date was December 7th which was the day before Halo Infinite so Techland decided to delay the game two months. It went gold last week so im not expecting any more delays or issues. Would love to see Techland move up the release date two weeks so it can have some breathing room considering that February is packed.



Yes, it can be fully played solo which is how I will be playing. Below is an 16 minute walk-through trailer.

No you don't. It takes place 20 years (if I remember correctly) after the first game and has a brand new protagonist. There's no actual guns in the game as it's focused completely in melee combat which honestly, looks the best I have seen in any first person game and even better than Dishonored 2 which I put at the top of the list for first person melee combat. However, while there's no actual already made guns, you can find resources and materials to eventually craft a shotgun which as far as I know, is the only gun you can create/craft.

This was probably the best game I didn't finish last gen. Bought it again recently for cheap on PC... Probably not going to finish it, but it's definitely getting me in the mood for 2.

Wait seriously?? The first one had guns but this one won't??

Re: Dying Light 2

First one is worth playing even if this one doesn't require it. In my opinion Dying Light is the best representation in a video game of living as part of a zombie apocalypse during the initial outbreak period. Just a fantastic game.

I'm looking forward to the sequel, but will probably wait a month or two after launch to see how broken it is at launch. Once the bugs get worked out I'll pick it up.

I'm picking up the first one today, dont think I'll get the 2nd one because guns in games are a big thing for me.

Re: Dying Light 2

First on3 is by in large required just so you can understand and grip the horrifying g feeling when u see the sun set down and you weren’t ready. Really bring this place to life.

Yes. Part of the story is that over the years, all the weapons were destroyed so now, you have to make weapons by crafting them. Like I said, the only gun is a shotgun but you need certain materials to craft it.

With the melee combat so much improved and better than the first game, I don't mind it. At least I won't get snipered from a mile away like in most shooters.

There are bows and arrows though and the review I watched said that the bow he was using was overpowered. If true, that could replace the guns.

Re: Dying Light 2

I'd also throw out that even though the first game has guns I found their impact to be somewhat minimal for the majority of the game.

I did not get terribly deep into the crafting system, but I did research it to try and better understand it and it seemed like the best weapons were largely melee.
