Shame. Looking at the videos it seems like indoor areas are pretty dark and maybe that's why the outside night is lighter. Might get a "dark night" mod pretty quick though.

Another trash game incoming.

Interiors have very dark areas requiring a light to see. Not sure why they would keep outdoor areas brighter? Maybe the guys have their brightness set high to be able to see better at night?

Pretty sure it was exactly the same in the first dying light. In doors was way darker, because outside had ambient lighting. it also got darker or lighter depending on which night it was.

Maybe less shitting on the game before a true release is needed. I mean too long, too short, too much to do, not enough to do, too light, too dark, blah.

[nutcrackr]

6 days to release

[theshadowcult]

i cant afford yet another game at release that i really want to play. Silver lining is always bug patches, but that fomo tho :/

[Exposed]

Going to replay Dying Light 1 and the expansion now so I can jump right into this.

I hope i'm wrong, but man, last 7 years, there's been stinker after stinker

[nutcrackr]

I have a feeling 2022 is going to be the 2015 of gaming. As in, pretty good but not 2007 or 2004.

3 days chumps!

Okay yea I got a friend in the industry whos playing it right now, and sent me screenshots of at night time (cant post it cause technically NDA). Looks like that other guy who played preview was wrong. (my friends playing final build). There are dark ass areas that are like the first game. Hope meter slowly going up.

Dying Light 2 devs ask you to wait for day 1 patch, even if you found an early copy

and then limp

Yea. My friend said that the combat doesn't feel as good as the first game, enemy hit just don't feel weighty. Also enemies dont seem to hit each other nor do bodies fall/stack on top of each other like they did in 1. I can already see the next crowbat video coming probably.

Somebody with similar specs to me says it runs decent on high settings.

Are your sys specs on the side there recent?

[Crawdaddy79]

He's leaving out that after High, there's Higher, Very High, Very Higher, Ultra, and Ultraer and that there is no setting below High.

No mega omgrafix setting. No buy.

[Mangler]

Looks like it is a good game but it might be worth waiting for a patch or two before playing it since it is also a buggy game.

But it looks like the pc version is the most polished one, as techland can just push out patches whenever they feel like it.

Looks like it’s poop edition right now.

Fun gameplay with crappy story...sounds like an Ubisoft game and I am okay with that. Also RTX and DLSS features for my way-too-expensive video card to utilize.

[bill dennison]

Dying Light 2 makes a bad first impression and an even worse one in closing. There are moments of genuine joy in its robust parkour system and chunky melee combat, but those moments are stretched thin across hours of lacklustre storytelling and repetitive side content. It’s a game that promises consequences for every choice you make, but the payoff often feels so thin as to remind you of Fallout 3’s infamous slideshow ending.

Dying Light 2 review
Bugs, repetitive side content, bad storytelling, and the unfulfilled promise of its choice and consequence system leave Dying Light 2 unable to capitalise on the strength of its excellent parkour and combat mechanics.

Is this the game people are bitching about, they snuck denuvo or whatever it is last minute?

Can't see the "Fixed co-op corrupting save games" in there, that was called out. Some performance issues to look like and world not being 'solid' under foot in places.

Was going to bite but since decided to wait yet again for a game to be fixed before release post release and pre purchase.

[Dungeoncrawler]

...and many more pc specific fixes. Lol why not just list them?

[Trunks0]

DSOGaming has a little pre-release performance analysis on a 3080. Sounds like both DLSS and FSR are poorly implemented here. So glad they are zero day patching at least the DLSS part.

*edit* Looks like Dungeoncrawler beat me to it. Sorry Dungeoncrawler.

No need to put a note in about a bug that isnt in the game because co-op isnt in the game yet. I guess [shrug] , im sure when its fixed, it will simply be pushed into the game.

interestingly, acg and skillup both found fsr to double their performance (they didnt have access to dlss at the time), and it was the raytracing that was badly implemented.
