2 days agoDying Light 2’s problems go way beyond bugs, they didn’t understand why everyone liked the first game and focused the sequel on warring humans instead of zombies. Missed the point. They also made it way less scary and didn’t address the cliffhanger from the end of the first game.
I remember the first time I found the woman with the crossbow, her model didn’t render during the cutscenes. I was assaulted and talking to a floating crossbow. It was definitely buggy.
The sequel’s issues were more down to a change in focus and tone though. The story in both is pretty generic, but I at least enjoyed the focus being the zombies in the first - that first night mission when you first see volatiles after destroying the antizin is terrifying. Finding the special zombies through story missions were always horrific enough. Night time in 2 was just fun run time.
The ignored cliffhanger from 1 was the zombies seemingly organising and communicating towards the end. That would’ve been more interesting than another zombified dude and humans are the real threat and all that. I just wish they stuck with the horror tone.
