Phaseknox Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 46 minutes ago, stepee said: 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 think that from a pure gameplay standpoint that Dying Light 2 might be more fun than Horizon Forbidden West, but the story, characters and world probably won’t be nearly as compelling. Also, I personally would be a little more excited for Dying Light 2 if you played as a female character instead of as a generic dude again like in the first game. An athletic light on her feet female protagonist similar to Faith from Mirror’s Edge would be a little more fitting for the role IMO since so much of the game is based around parkour and traversal. And I have a preference for female protagonists in games in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer women protagonists too but honestly since I’m usually a woman character when I can create a character it mostly evens out for me. But yeah it’s the gameplay of Dying Light 2 that has me more interested in it, I haven’t even looked to see what the story is about yet, I’m expecting it to be average. If it’s anything more than that Ill call it a pleasant surprise! The movement in the first one was so good and I’m curious how fun any new tricks it has are. I could end up liking Horizon more in the end but if I could try one out right now I’d probably go with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Horizon Forbidden West wasn’t coming out shortly after it then I would probably buy it on day one since I really liked the first game. I still have a ways to go in Far Cry 6, so I'll probably wait until I finish that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. Thanks for that information. I'll absolutely play part 2 if it turns out solid. Then if I enjoy part 2 I'll play the patched original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I wonder if the patched version will still be $12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an in game event going THIS WEEK in the first game. That's how dedicated they've been to this franchise and the fanbase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, yeah the only reason I haven’t just preordered it is in case there is some disaster with the pc version, but this really doesn’t look like a case of that. Showing off the last gen gameplay I think shows a good level of confidence here. Pretttty sure this won’t be a Cyberpunk but it is quite ambitious and reviews are on Tuesday so i’ll preload after those! Im curious how night will be, one thing I read is they made night time more accessible to encourage players to actually go out at night now. Makes sense but I hope it still has the pure terror of night the first did. Just the howls even when in a safe zone would get me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla is fuckin massive but awesome to me so I'm definitely finishing it. Then Elden Ring will be 60 hours and Forbidden West will be roughly 40 hours. Lots to play so it's been great.

There are few companies I actually have faith in but these guys are definitely one of them. They are so transparent and support their games and fans so much that its a no brainer for me to get this game day one. I know on my first playthrough I didn't go out at night unless the story required it. On this playthrough I'm going out at night a little more in order to rank up, but it's not necessary at all. In Part 2 it seems like there will be some incentive to go out at night so that's cool. I'm really looking forward to this game. Elden Ring and Horizon are taking up all of the oxygen but Dying Light 2 and Sifu are my sleeper february games. At least there's not much coming out after this February that's day one essential for me. That's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do more in these games gameplay wise than most first person games. The first game had a tough learning curve, but they really excel at first person gameplay especially Melee combat. One of the best in the business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
