stepee Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I’m interested in this one now! As much as I love playing it on switch, I obviously will not be playing the cloud version of this, but 4k/60/hdr/rt is probably a fair enough trade off.

Firewithin Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 is this the first time a dev has done "damage control" for a game being too long? lol. i get what they were saying but they could have stated it much better from the beginning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 About what I expected to be honest. I probably put in about 500 hours in my various Mass Effect and Dragon Age playthroughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I wouldn’t give it a 2nd thought but after all the dialogue I heard from everyone in Guardians of the Galaxy game. This is, I think, great info to have out there. Never played the first game but will give this one a go I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Been replaying the first game and while it starts slow (you're VERY underpowered until mid-game) once it picks up it's a blast to play. I said it when Dead Island came out, these guys have really nailed first person melee combat. If only Bethesda could take a page from them. The Elder Scrolls games would be all time greats if they had this combat system and feel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyrim's combat isn't based on dice rolls. It's just crappy melee combat. I don't think Oblivion is either. I think Morrowwind was the last Elder Scrolls game that was based on behind the scenes dice rolls. EDIT: yeah Oblivion and Skyrim are skill based and not dice roll based. Skyrim: 10 Subtle Details You Never Noticed About The Combat – ITTeacherITFreelance.hk ITTEACHERITFREELANCE.HK Though Skyrim's combat is often derided as simple and watered down, there are some fine details and bits of trivia most players never learn about. Quote Combat is a core part of The Elder Scrolls franchise. Every mainline game has made changes to the combat formula to some degree. Oblivion made combat based on skill rather than dice rolls, and Skyrim focused on improving the feedback of combat while introducing the Dual-Wield mechanic and Shouts.

Yes... armor rating, defensive buffs, weapon stats and other typical RPG action stuff. It's not based on dice rolls. They are skill based action games just light Dying Light which is also an action RPG.The combat melee combat just sucks because the animations aren't very good and there's no weight behind the attacks. BTW... the whole Elder Scrolls community knows the combat sucks outside of spellcasting and archery. There are tons of Mods that improve the combat of the vanilla game. I'm not saying anything remotely controversial here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I never even heard of this franchise but after watching vids I think I'm going to buy it. I wonder if I need to play part 1 to understand 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first game was still getting updates as recent as this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe that you never heard of Dying Light before, it was pretty popular back when it came out. You don’t need to play the first game to understand the sequel because the sequel takes place 20 years after the original with an entirely new story and cast of characters, but I would still recommend playing the first game since it’s really good.

I can't play older games. I'm a graphics whore and can't play any dated games. I'm strange I know. I'll wait for user impressions and reviews before I pull the trigger on part 2.

Dying Light isn’t THAT dated, I’m sure that it would look and run good on your Xbox Series X. Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition (which is the base game and its DLC) is currently on sale at the Microsoft store for $12 which is a great deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Dying Light is supposed to get a current gen patch so I’d say now is a fine time to start with DL2 and since the stories don’t even seem to be related, then if you love it go back and play the first one after the patch is released. It makes me laugh that I really don’t think it matters playing DL1 first story wise since, Dl1 as a whole spoiler fucking everyone dies in it lol, it’s crazy, everyone you meet just drops off like flies, but I guess that’s probably about right! Im starting to get more and more excited about this, I think maybe more hyped for it than Horizon, or at least, I’m more curious and interested in this one. I hope it doesn’t turn out to be broken on launch is all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
