Is that what 'unforgiving' means?

Guess I need to pay more attention, could have sworn I smashed a nest and the counter didn't change; after that I assumed it was for hunter kills, not nests.
Time to turn invasions back on and have another go.

Anyone unlock a fast travel yet? Wondering if one exists.
Just played the first hour on PS4, really, really liking this one. It is very much the successor to Dead Island, the whole time I was getting the vibe that it is the next step in what they wanted to achieve with that style of open world game. Since you're slightly underpowered in the beginning and learning all of the mechanics, a lot of the good stuff hasn't come into play yet, but what's there so far I'm really happy with. Looking forward to diving in more.
And it's surprising me how down some gaming sites are on the visuals. It's a very pretty game, some ways maybe not but I think it looks great.

I'm four hours in, I don't know how much more I should have been reasonably expected to have played. And there's no proper way to play a game, I really hate when people say you aren't playing it the right way, whatever way I choose to play the game is the way it's meant to be played.
So has anyone experienced any bugs? I just reloaded my save and I've lost everything but I still have my quest progress. My skill trees are at zero and my inventory is empty. What.the.fuck.

First hour on PS4, great game, heaps better than Dead Island for sure.
loving the 80's scifi soundtrack, is it available for download?

Lots.
I watched a bit of gamespot's in-progress. the last few upgrades in the bottom "Expert" just seem to make you make you all-around better in terms of all the parkour abilities. All the ones above the "gap" (the Novice and Adept ones) each seem to be an actual ability or movement/on-the-fly combat option.
Is... is this real?
I hope so, because that's ridiculous.

If this is real..I can't..
by "played properly" i meant " the actual full game,properly, for a while, gaining experience and leveling up". I don't care HOW you play it, you can crouch through the entire game for all I care.
The fact remains that everything about parkour is in the game, the game does parkour the same if not better as Mirror's Edge.

Game still downloading/installing

On Twitter dying light are asking random people who have praised the game to use their tweets in an upcoming video

I'm sad I got the game now, and I only paid $20.
Interesting. On PS4 I imagine it hides a lot of aliasing and other little oddities. Would love to see what the game looked like without it. Definitely distracting me for the moment, lol.
Other than that, it's pretty gorgeous. I mean, the environments so far are themselves ugly, but, rendered well. XD
Sound design is fantastic. Well above average.

The crazy thing is... that comment will sell more copies of Dying Light than any quote from a prestigious reviewer would.

It is odd because I know I had no issues with any other game not letting me play past the tutorial.
I also have good internet.
Oh well, still got Citizens of Earth to play.

Definitely like what I've played so far. It's running reasonably well on my PC but that could just be coincidence. It's at least playable. I definitely like it better than Dead Island. I like the parkour so far, but not as rhythmic as Mirror's Edge. A bit more clunky. Let's just hope it doesn't drag on the more we play.
It gets a lot more rhythmic once you level up a bit.
But also,don't forget that the world is not a straight line like in Mirror's Edge, so it can't be as meticulously put together.

His name probably means more to marketing your game than IGN does at this point. This game is just an example of how times are changing in the industry. You're going to see companies targeting Youtubers for marketing over traditional gaming sites.
What system are you playing on? On ps4 at least there was an initial download that would let you "start" the game, but you won't be able to progress into the open world section of the game until the download is completely done.
That is pretty awesome.
And this is great*, hate them or not YouTubers are generally the people who sell video games now-a-days.
*If he didn't get paid for it.
I'm so stuck... Trying to figure this out for the last 15 minutes, no clue what to do.
Anyone care to give me a hint.
Just curious, has anyone managed to take out the big guy that comes through the door? I spent 2 minutes trying to dodge around him then I was like "fuck this" and ran
Didnt most streamers/youtubers get free codes this time around?

Man this game just bugged out HARD.
So I mentioned earlier I lost my progress, so I die and come back at a safe house and it's like "25 unspent skill points" so I go into the tree and it's enough to max out one tree completely. Then I go unlock a chest and inside is a ceremonial dagger that does 1047 damage, previously the best weapon I had did 200 but it took out stamina in one shot, so the best regular weapon I had was 50 damage. What the hell.

Of course, you just kill him dead. he is even a weaker version of the ones you actually encounter outside in the city. Takes way less time to kill him than those.
whoa.

Game is actually pretty fun but the Voice acting is unbelievably bad.

I fully agree. Screen tearing needs to be a thing of the past. I can't believe games are still tearing on consoles. They should pair back the visuals a bit to get the framerate to be better instead of just letting it tear.

I climbed up on the roof of that building and threw 3-4 Ninja stars at him, and I shit you not. It killed the big guy! I LOLz hard then...
Nice, I just lurred him away from the fuse box with Firecrackers to have time to open it and then found that small passage lol...

That weapon is awesome, takes no stamina and one shots everything, but it's much gorier than the pipes and bats, like straight up dismemberment every swing.
It's really game breaking though :/ I'm gonna refrain from using it until later in the story just because this game will no be challenging at all otherwise.

Pressing the X button to use the survival instinct actually makes one of my dogs toys quack. Its amazing.
Edit: Put that in your bloody video, Dying Light twitter.

You can throw propane tanks to kill him or throw firecrackers on gas trails/puddles to do a ton of damage too.

I love Pokken!
lmao anyone else found this?
There's a fuel tank there. I picked it up and chucked it at him mid swing, and he slammed his hammer on it and blew himself up.
There are a bunch of explosives around the area, and you can pick up and move certain tanks as well. What I did was place an explosive canister in front of him, gave him a whack with the pipe and then ran away; he then slammed the ground with his weapon, blowing up the canister and himself. It was pretty satisfying.
