Almost 10 hours in and only 11% percent complete. Yeah this game is pretty big.

Fucking piece of shit Sony/PSN, bought the game because of my gaming drought and can't still download it from the store. Get your shit together damnit. Became so hyped for this after all the positive impressions in this topic
http://www.playstationtrophies.org/...-Dying-Light-on-PS4--Here-s-a-Workaround.html
The traversal system in this game makes playing any other game so hard to do.
1. I want to press R1 to jump whereas every other freaking game it's X
2. I feel like I'm stuck in molasses. Started up BF4 to play with buddies and holy cow was it weird the first 10 minutes readjusting to "normal" controls.
Not saying it's a bad thing (because it's not), just kind of funny.
yeah the R1 thing is weird - I assume it can be changed tho?

No :/
You can only change the jump to R2, It has different schemes for Sticks, Buttons and Triggers. No total customization.
That said, Fantastic game!

Thanks guys, but that didn't help me out

It's not weird after you've played for 10-15 minutes. You need to look at ledges you want to jump to/hang on to. Anything else than a shoulder button would make this very impractical while running and being chased because you'd have to let go of the right stick to press X or A.

The vision cones make night time a lot easier. I just watch the map as I run and make sure I never enter a vision cone.
If you do get seen at night drop a flare behind you and continue to run you will almost always loose the zombies. I gain a level in Agility almost ever night.

I agree 100%. I just wish I could change the four shoulder buttons to a layout that would make more sense to me:
L1 - Jump
L2 - Use Throwable
R1 - Kick
R2 - Attack
There's no option to make this the control scheme and I find myself constantly wasting throwables trying to jump.

So conflicted right now, love zombie games, want to play it, but digital and £10 more...if they hadn't screwed up the digital launch I would have got it yesterday, but now I'm like thinking it's a lot of money...gah.
It doesn't help seeing awesome positive comments and some amazing videos...
fortunately it does seem to have come back onto the PSN store... took them long enough to fix that. I do wonder if the sales of this game are going to be drastically damaged by this whole debacle.

Finally got it to download, I gameshare with my brother and for some reason it's taken off the store in the EU. What we did was, got him to download a random item like a theme and the game off the PS Companion app. Once I booted up my console it started downloading on mine. Once it was fully installed, I had to deactivate his account as primary on my console, activate on his and do the same as above. Reactivate it on both like normal and restore licenses. Should be good to go then. Really strange fuckup techland/sony have made here though.

It felt weird for me at first, but now I can never go back to a face button mapped to jump. My thumb never leaves the right stick to jump, climb and dodge. I have full control of my character while doing all of my frequently used actions.

same. But you should in turn get the survivor skill tree maxed out. After i got hit by that bug i for some reason got the max number of skill points needed to get everything in the survivor skill tree. It was super weird. Also use the item cloning glitch to make back your money. I chose to do that since i lost so much progress with weapons and money and i managed to make it all back and then some in a few mins with the glitch.
Didn't get any extra skill points, all level 1 and zero points. Just going to start over once the patch hits because I lost all my blueprints and can't make med kits, ect.

It works only if the ps4 is set as principal (so not working if you share your games...)

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that there will be more people trying to invade than letting people invade. The first time you get slammed over and over at night you turn it off.
Thanks for telling me how to find the clock. Just a note: the clock does not appear in your inventory HUD until you've completed the first airdrop mission early in the game. Since I like to explore i was 6 hours in until I did that mission so the clock was not available to me until then. Of course, you don't need the clock until after that mission, but for anyone else who wonders where it is, this may be the reason.

The shit reminds me of escape from new york/LA. Especially the briefing/insertion part.
Oh what the hell, it's shit like this that makes me wary of playing. Gotta lock this shit down devs.
If only our lord and savior Kurt was the main VA. I wish he was in a game.

Anyone have tips for dealing with multiple human enemies? I've just been throwing molotovs on them if I have any, but whenever I fight a group of them with a melee weapon they always block, crowd me, and beat me down from all sides.
If I'm fighting one or two I try to lead them to zombies which is always fun.

The grapple redirect is a godsend in those situations. I'll throw one and follow him and beat him with my hammer or whatever. It's ridiculously brutal.
Yep! It is seriously pissing me off.

Think about it guys: if you could jump with X, you'd be taking your hand off the right stick to jump all the time. Part of the immersion comes from adapting to using R1 to jump so you can keep looking around for ledges to grab all the time. That last second adjustment to the right stick can mean the difference between death and life. They mapped jump to the bumper for a reason.
Buy the dodge ability asap, when they attack side step it and immediately swing your weapon. Drop kicking also works, though it doesn't always knock them down.

Anyone manage to kill a Volatile? I chased one at dawn for several blocks, and cornered it in some dark under pass. I was half expecting a nest was there waiting for me.

Any PS4 folks looking to do some co op? Would love to find at least three others to do 5 consecutive missions and assorted challenges for the multiplayer trophies. Up for general mayhem as well of course!

I was using the leg breaker perk, forget the exact name. Sprint and slide into them, 1hit kill 90% of the time.
I'm liking what I've seen so far and I love zombie games, but I'm really on the fence about buying this right now or holding off for a few more reviews to drop.
I really enjoyed Dead Island but for some reason hated Riptide. I prefer exploring every nook and cranny and gathering supplies rather than flat out combat so would this game be suited to my style of play?

Any tips on taking out the big dudes with the cement block hammers?
I've just been molotoving them, but it takes like 5-6 to kill them. I tried engaging them in melee by using the jump-dodge, but even after wacking them in the head with my fire cricket bat like 10 times they still didn't go down...

I'd say this game is for you
Takes a while but I found a combination of drop kick, one melee hit, dodge back, get running start for drop kick, repeat.
Finally managed to overcome all the initial download issues, and started out.
The game gives a good first impression in the tutorial area; the menus are cohesive and nice-looking, the game seems to have character and the environmental details are solid so far. Can't wait for the slow-ass PSN download to finish so I can leave the tutorial area and go exploring.

The dodging and hitting will work, just takes a while until you have good weapons. You can also try to stand on top of a low building, lure them close, and stab them in the head from above while they stand still below.
Firecrackers near propane tanks can work too, they will swing at the firecrackers and detonate the tanks. Takes some luck though, not all of their attacks will hit the tanks, and of course, it's loud.

he died in the light
I just died in your arms tonight. I guess it must have been something you said.
Is the drop kick supposed to briefly stun them? I have the upgrade drop kick, and it seems to do nothing to the hulk guys...
Sold. Didn't take much convincing to be honest. Now if I don't love it I'll be blaming you buddy ;-)
High praise indeed from you mate. I've always enjoyed your posts on the Destiny threads so rate your opinion very highly (that's enough d*ck sucking). I'll pick this up on my way home tonight.
That's what I want!!!
R1 isn't so bad though. It's starting to become more natural, I just don't think swapping R1 and L1 would have been a bad option to include at all.
The controls themselves regardless of the button layout are impressing me more and more. They're very precise and reliable. In the first two hours I was worried that either the parkour mechanics or the controls were clunky or underdeveloped... but it was my character who was underdeveloped. It gets really good and I'm not even a third of the way through the Agility tree unlocks.
edit: Watch Klyka make this bridge his bitch as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ5zdc02qaM
I have barely done any direct combat at all. There's an enormous amount of playstyle flexibility.
*shrug* "I love zombie games." Normally with "on the fence" posts like this I advise caution. But honestly buy the shit out of it. If you're disappointed please do come back and post about it, I'd be absolutely shocked.

Can’t stump the diablos
The companion app seems pretty useful.
I'm getting medkits like crazy. Looking through the loot in the app, it looks like you can get a shotgun and an orange melee weapon.

Didn't even see a link to his review posted. Here.
http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/01/dying-light-review/
At least he still had some positive things to say.
I wonder if we'll find out if Warner Bros demanded changes or not.
Sorta. Maybe stun isn't the right word. It pisses them off but does leave a little opening for you to get a hit in and get away.
And I don't have the upgrade to drop kick.
