I figure once this game's been out for a while people will be coming up with CRAZY ways to fuck with the world, especially in co-op. Should make for some entertaining videos and GIFS
I had a one on one Night Hunter match, where I was the survivor. It was an absolute beatdown as the hunter became the hunted, I was chasing him down with the UV light and smackin' the shit out of him with a Nailed Cricket Bat. The only time he ever got me was when I was preoccupied with smashing the Nests.

Wait until he goes to the washroom then swoop in and ask her if she 'wants to blow this popsicle stand'.
Works every time.

I bought it (money went out) and now it has disappeared completely from the PS Store, in my library I have it and the zombie mode but it says there is no application. They haven't been clear about whats going on with loads of mixed information.
Went against my better judgement by going digital. Can't say I'm impressed.
Damn sorry bro that sucks. I haven't had a problem going digital yet. Luckily over here I bought the hard copy. =\

It's funny as to me whilst it feels like Dead Island, in so many ways it also doesn't. The big reason for me is that in Dead Island/Dead Island Riptide I loooooved the analog melee system where you used the right stick to actually swing your weapon up, down etc. It's clunky at first but then you become a pro with it and it's incredibly satisfying. Yet Dying Light is so focused on movement, hitting quickly etc it feels in many ways a very different game. You can tell there's a higher budget behind and more time - animations are better, everything moves smoother and I'm really impressed with the flow of movement. If anything I think Techland have set a new bar for smooth free flowing first person parkour and it's really sad that it took someone 8 years to actually have another go, and actually do it well in an open world setting. Looking at the upgrade paths as well, there's some good stuff in their I'm looking forward to using which should make movement traversal even better. As someone who has a soft spot for Techlands games (The Cartel excepted) this is pretty polished for them!

I just finished that level and was going to say the same thing. Hearing the zombies screaming all about the place with the music pumping was damned perfect.

They are and there are some other traps and trap combos you can use later in the game. The extra stuff like firecrackers, ninja stars, and things around the world are NOT just filler. Its pretty awesome actually. For example I found that if you drop a propane tank next to any kind of slightly ramped object and blow it up you can send zombies into the fucking stratosphere instantly as they jet off the ramp. But as they go they take out others with them so even 1 can become a fiery zombie bowling ball for the others.

I feel confused because I am loving this game but most of my friends are very "meh" about it.
I haven't disagreed with them as much this gen as I do now regarding this game.

Survival points is your EXP, if you keep dying you actually delevel.
I took out the gunner by going to the side, there's a cliff above the gunner. I just threw a molotov and he died and I jumped in and got his gun.
I just wanna smash zombies up and go fast ;_;
awesome
So how is most people on GAF feeling about it? Positive? I'm considering getting this now. But am worried that it will be tedious or boring. It seems the technical performance isn't an issue (that was my concern at launch). So now I'm just curious how the game itself is. If it stays fun and has mission variety.
Loved ZombiU btw.
Edit: going to take a risk. Bought it.

I think this game is way more interesting and better skill unlocks then say something like Shadow of Mordor, even though both games take aspects from other open world titles as well (aside from Mordor using the interesting yet undercooked nemesis system) and everyone praised the crap out of that game. So not sure why people see this game and think. "Meh it's all the same"

Excellent post back what you think of it in a couple hours. I can totally see the mission variety turning people off it thats a hotspot for them. If you take the entire game into account its mostly fine but it doesn't do anything amazing or new in that regard. Other than a couple missions where it seemed like the missions were just go and collect or go and shoot that I loved.

Okay I must be a total idiot. Just had to climb by first radio tower. Got up to the top no problem, but for the life of me, I could not figure how one gets down????
I am playing on the PS4, so once in awhile I saw the Square prompt for ladders to climb down, but for ledges???? I was no doubt holding R1 but I was not grabbing anything while falling down. Is there a trick to it or something?
So am I missing something super obvious?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Would really suck if I Have to just die everytime I get to the top of a radio tower LOL

it's really good. the only thing I don't know yet is how good.
There's a ladder and a black cable/wire you can slide down, depending on which level you are.
You CAN grab ledges on the way down by holding R1 though. Don't know if you might need some upgrade (I definitely already had Freerunning Adept already the first time I did it). Might just need to practice
I was wrong before, my power is at 4. Closing in on Level 10 Agility

Can’t stump the diablos
Zipline.
There's ziplines down. If you mean the VERY top of the tower (usually has a flag) you'll have to just sort of fall down to something safely until you reach the ziplines.

Only just started the game (just unlocked coop, enjoying it so far), I don't want to spoil the game for myself by reading too far ahead into the skill trees, but could someone tell me is there wall-running in this (like Mirror's Edge)? At the moment I'm only climbing ledges and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, can't even run and slide. I'm hoping there will be more parkour moves to unlock later on?
EDIT: Thanks for the answers below.

Yep, I was at the very top.
And that is the something obvious I missed. THANK YOU. Off to the second tower so it will be very helpful not to plummet to my death again.
There's more moves. One of the earliest is the run and slide.

Is there some kind of input lag bug on the ps4? All of the sudden my character started having a slight delay in the camera movement

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I only tried the first Dead Island and it was on PC with a 360 pad, but I don't remember the melee being like that at all. I thought it was just right trigger to melee.
That's when you've been sprinting for too long, lol. It's no bug.

Keep trying to play coop but my game keeps crashing... So frustrating.

Nah, it's like constantly like that wherever I go. It started right when I was turning on the power and that giant zombie busts out of a garage. I'm gonna try rebooting my ps4 and see if that fixes
A huge amount. I can't specifically vouch for wall-running a la Mirror's Edge but there is this
edit: wait, i almost just spoiled a skill for you -_-
"something," however that works, and vaults, impact rolls, better climbing, overall agility, attacks while running etc
Lol damn. I just jump down the same way I climbed and grabbed onto the ledges as I was falling. I'm a pro at falling down them now. lol had no idea there was a zipline hahahaha.
I'm telling you that's normal. It's supposed to represent disorientation at the zombie suddenly bursting out of the garage. Or running out of stamina. Rebooting the console won't fix a design choice.
