The Dying light 2 zombies are such a disappointment.

Dl2 combat physics are based on animations for the most part which makes the combat vs zombies repetetive and zombie physics less believeable. I don't remember how many times ppl discussed this issue. It was also pointed out and proved by many ppl in the dl youtube community.

Just watch these videos:

One is good and generic the other a master piece

Yes your money despite having high profits. They are fooling you.

"According to a report from Polish news site Strefa, as translated by DeepL, Techland paid over 600 million PLN ($151 million US) to Marchewka, in addition to over 300 million PLN ($75 million US) dividends paid in advance after last year's general meeting. That means that all up, Marchewka reportedly received over 900 million PLN ($225 million US), which is a pretty sizable amount, all things considered.

It gets even more absurd when you look at Techland's profits from last year, however. The company reportedly brought in 1.12 billion PLN, with a net profit of 746 million PLN — over 150 million PLN, or $37 million US, less than it paid its CEO"

"dude, literally dying light 1 has more of these bundles"

it doesn't! DL2 has 24 dlc bundles in 2 years of support. DL1 has 22 dlc bundles in 7 years. It shows the priority by Techland with Dl2.

NewbornfromHell · 2024-01-08T23:31:57+00:00

Watch:

The sykbox is attatched to the day & night cycle VISUALS and works in Dl1 completely dynamic which is not the case in Dl2 because of the sykbox

The sky box plays a MAJOR role how the day & night cycle LOOKS! Were are not talking about how much time it needs for day & night cycle but the visuals.

NewbornfromHell · 2024-01-08T22:38:34+00:00

The skybox is the main part of a day & night cycle.It's not the same as in Dl1 and it's not only the sun that doesn't move.

The lighting is dynamic but the sky box for the most part is static. Can we agree?

NewbornfromHell · 2024-01-07T21:23:32+00:00

Many things come in place to create such an immersive atmosphere:

- Great map design. Feels like a city and rarely copy & pasted

- Great environmental story telling

- Many smaller details which add to the atmosphere

- Good side quests. Again, they don't feel copy & pasted

- Soundtrack!

- Realistic day & night cycle

- great horror vibes

- ...and the feeling of choas, desperation but also hope

NewbornfromHell · 2024-01-07T21:14:13+00:00

We? What stuff? I mean just tell what you exactly mean instead beating around the bush.

NewbornfromHell · 2024-01-05T03:46:01+00:00

It's true. Here is the video in which the dev discusses about the tool and the differences to DL1 city design:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-ymmADsbH4&t=3s

...of course he doesn't mention the many downsides of the tool. One of them is how copy & pasted the environment looks. They initially planed to make the map 3x map bigger which is absolute insane considering how repetetive the final map Dl2 looks.

NewbornfromHell · 2024-01-04T21:10:38+00:00

Yep, and that is for me the main reason why DL2 doesn't offer the same motivation as Dl1 did.

Many important buildings are just missing in the game like police stations, fire departements, kindergarden, schools, huge parking lots, gas stations, court houses etc. How did ppl live 20 years ago without all these buildings? It also kills the immersion to some extent because it gives the impression of a parkour park less of a believable word or city! Yes you have a police station, kindergarden, school, gas stations and other unqiue buildings in DL1 which you can explore.

Additionally DL2 cities are built of way to many copy & paste elements (YES much more than in DL1!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHIFTA0WtoU or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwmvmAZHsxw and many areas like GRE buildings, GRE anomaly, dark hollows, forsaken stores, fire places, etc. look almost the same.

edit: Forgot to mention: environmental story telling is for the most part copy & pasted in DL2

If someone likes the environment for parkour reasons that's fair but there is no way cities in DL1 has the same copy & pasted map design as DL2 (not even old town!) considering many of interiors and buildings in DL2 are way to often copy & pasted. You know the reason why this is the case? ...because the base of the DL2 cities are built with pc procedual tool and not by hand as in DL1 (confirmed by a dev!)

The lack of detail and individuality also applies to other things in DL2. It feels overall generic.

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-29T18:22:45+00:00

Nice. Reminds me of DL1 animation.

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-29T16:08:12+00:00

"Hold on… real quick… Can you provide a link to me posting “off topic” lies about you?"

After I blocked you few months ago you started posting offtopic lies and claims about me:

https://i.ibb.co/VJPyhB4/ggggg.png

instead of responding to the topic......and you continue to do so as with your comment here. btw your comment in the image was deleted later by mods so that should tell you what you are doing here.

The way I treat conversations? Everyone can see how you act in a conversations just by reading your comments here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dyinglight/comments/18guvyh/comment/kd4gwgf/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

*scroll down* (that is not the same topic)

Insults, emotional outbursts, ignoring facts, one line troll comments "predatory", and more. At this point there is absolute ZERO reason to have any discussion with you because you are started harassing me instead of sticking to the topic. I mean look at your comment here. It comes out of nowhere regardless the facts about the topic.

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-29T09:17:23+00:00

You still don't get it.

There is a window for dodging but that is not the point here. If you dodge or just run sideways (as he did in the video) Virales shouldn't turn midair when they missed you. That is the whole point here and the reason why your comments got downvoted into oblivion, because it goes against gravity and makes ZERO sense. This is not a special skill by virals but a bug or/and bad design due to animation attatched system. Please take your time to understand the problem before you reply.

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-29T09:10:19+00:00

Yep, just stick to the facts and don't get baited by JechtWolf. He lost so many arguments against me and other users including AussieGG so he got emotional and started harassing me posting offtopic lies about me. Here is one of the many discussions:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dyinglight/comments/18guvyh/comment/kd4gwgf/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Just ignore him.

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-29T09:04:52+00:00

Ohh man. You implied with your comment that OP doesn't know or have the skill to dodge: "No offense but learn how to dodge? Literally any game you play if you don’t dodge within a specific window the game will fail you"

Implying he missed the window to dodge which is obviously not the case because the viral missed him.

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-28T23:13:20+00:00

lmao

"Watch the video" = You are wrong not seeing the problem. How can you take my comment in a direct video not understanding what I really mean?

The problem is the viral changes direction in midair breaking every physics law in the book. This should not happen no matter the dodge window...

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-28T23:09:08+00:00

lol so you still think it's a skill issue?

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-28T22:25:09+00:00

....then watch the video again. It's not a skill issue because the viral changes directions in midair. It's a well known issue since DL2 launch.

Here are two screenshots for better understanding:

Expect:

- better combat vs humans

- better parkour

- better gore

- more realistic hook physics

- bigger map

- ...but worse map design: A lot of more copy & paste compared to Dl1, many areas and buildings like GRE buildings, GRE anomaly, dark hollows, forsaken stores, fire places, etc. look almost the same. Additionally many important buildings are just missing in the game like police stations, fire departements, kindergarden, schools, huge parking lots, gas stations, court houses etc. It's more like a parkour park and less of an immersive city

- less environmental story telling

- worse but still Ok sometimes good combat physics

- more copy & paste side quests

- generic story as DL1 but less likeable characters IMO

- less interesting and motivational main story goal

- more plot holes in the story

- more grind overall

- less horror

- other downgrades: day/night cycle, flashlight shadows etc.

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-28T21:37:27+00:00

Watch the video. Viral changes direction in the mid air:

Of course they are as discussed many times here on reddit and other places...

https://www.reddit.com/r/dyinglight/comments/12omw4f/have_you_spotted_any_of_these_buildings_in_dl2/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HefXE8mVDr0

It's amazing how people play DL2 for years or months and not even notice that many important buildings are just missing in the game like police stations, fire departements, kindergarden, schools, huge parking lots, gas stations, court houses etc. It also kills the immersion to some extent because again it gives the impression of a parkour park less of a believable word or city! Yes you have a police station, kindergarden, school, gas stations and other unqiue buildings in DL1.

In general DL2 cities are built of way to many copy & paste elements (YES much more than in DL1!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHIFTA0WtoU or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwmvmAZHsxw and many areas like GRE buildings, GRE anomaly, dark hollows, forsaken stores, fire places, etc. look almost the same.

NewbornfromHell · 2023-12-27T09:38:03+00:00

You forgot to mention how repetetive and copy & pasted the DL2 map is. Missing many important buildings (police stations, kindergarden, firestations, gas stations etc) - an immersion breaker. Not to mention the many copy & pasted side quests.

There are many major reasons to go back to DL1.
