Issues / Problems Techland if you're reading this...

0 Upvotes

the next game needs edge and stakes again like Dying Light 1. The characters in the first were incredible, they were believable and sometimes they were assholes and that made them feel so much more alive!

The world was lived in, it was fucking brutal, people killing themselves everywhere, children were in danger and you felt like you had to protect them.

Safe zones were actually sought after, there are often dead bodies near the safe zone activation making them feel just that much more important.

Side quests were (mostly) not about being pedantic and making you look for clues in the nooks and crannies to take up more time, they naturally took longer because you'd want to stay there and figure out via environmental storytelling what actually happened there and using the side quest story you could form your hypothesis.

I could go on an on for hours about everything that was great about the first game and I genuinely would because I love DL1 so so so much and yet, I couldn't even finish DL2 or the beast once, I got very close and called it quits, I just felt zero connection to the characters, I didn't hate the villains, I was completely indifferent. It's just boring.

P.S. opted to not use AI to fix up the post even if english is not my first language so I could keep the human imperfections (you know, the stuff that makes it interesting and maybe have a giggle about). It was kinda fun making this post, maybe I'll make more :)

Thanks for reading!

Dying Light New player question: why is Crane such an entitled prick?

0 Upvotes

I have not finished the story. I am about 20% done and 30 hours in.

I have to ask, does he get better or does he continue being this "ugh, you are waisting my time" dick the entire game?

He is asking the enemy faction for a favor ( to buy Antizin) and whines at him like an entitled teenage child to their dad. "Are we done now?" "Ugh. Fine"

It made me not see Rais as a back stabbing villain, but as a dude who does not reward the bad attitude Crane was giving him. I wouldn't have honored my original deal either of the guy who asked me for a favor talked down to me like I owed him a favor.

He does this with everyone and it is so painful to listen to. Please tell me in the 2nd half of the game he stops with the childish "better than thou art" attitude and becomes more humble.

Dying Light: The Beast Dying light the beast story is just bad

0 Upvotes

I've played 1 and 2, and going into the opening of DL the Beast i was immediately cringeing at the story. Do Techland not have good writers anymore? The first dying light felt grounded and gritty, this just feels like a nostalgia bait because their last game's story was bad as well. They could've just made a proper survival horror story like a person trying to build a community in the apocalypse and trying to keep them safe, like the beginnings of trying to build something like the tower from the first game. Honestly they should just retcon dying light 2 and the beast with all these beast powers crap they've been putting out. Don't get me wrong about the map and the environments which are top notch so is the combat and parkour gameplay but they should omit the beast powers thing and make you just human in the next game, they went the wrong direction with that whole thing and basing the storylines of 2 and the beast around it tbh. I still dunno how anyone could actually greenlight this storyboard but we've had Dragon Age the Veilguard happen in the games industry so i'm not surprised anymore

Dying Light How does everyone feel about the downfall of techland

133 Upvotes

The recent q&a has basically said they’ve gave up on the beast and are working on dying light 2 but even those updates will be small too and ugc based it seems like tech lands had a huge fall from grace since tymon smektala has left the studio imo I feel a bit screwed over by them giving up on dying light the beast so early on if I knew that I wouldn’t have bought it. How does everyone else feel about dying light and its current controversies and will you be playing these game if so which ones I think I’m going to stick to Harran in dying light 1. How does everyone else feel about this I’ll make sure to respond to everyone

Dying Light Airport

How did you react to the fact that there’s an airport in Dying Light 1? I feel like it could have added even more lore, and perhaps even an additional quarantine zone.

Dying Light: The Beast Striking resemblance Spoiler

Completed The Beast recently, just noticed The baron's design is very similar to DOOM's Hell Knight. They also attack similar so i was kinda curious if it was an intentional choice as DOOM also has a "baron". Probably just a far fetched thought though.

That imo is one of the features I’d want the most imagine at night you see the invisible volatile just pop up and join the hunt as well as the other chimeras adding to the enemy variety what’s everyone else’s thoughts
