yup
Finished the story last night. Kinda liked the story but holy hell that last 30 or so minutes were stupid (gameplay wise).
Still have a few side missions to do and quarantine zones to clear. Really fun game, especially in co-op.
I liked parkour in this but instadeath after falling is never fun and the ending was full of that.

I did this one in coop last night, you're supossed to go back to the roof and into another part pf the warehouse trough a hole in the top area inside the warehouse, it was a fun mission.
I've played too many hours in this game already, so much fun.
Heheh yeah I had a "oh god wtf?" moment when I first saw from the tower. Everyhting else so fr had been top notch so it was really a stark contrast.
Well, in my 35+ travel of Harran I have found one friendly zombie.

Oh damn, this sounds really nice! Can't wait to see just how extensive the tools are, the game is already really great but I know there are people out there that can add even more crazy ideas to the game.

I try to hit him once or twice and dodge backward one or two time to avoid being hit. Rinse and repeat until he dies. You might want to kill other zombies around before taking care of the big one.
I usually just climb and run at them to kill them quickly, they are pretty weak. Or you can try to dodge left or right when they spit at you and kill them with trowing stars.

Or if you're feeling lazy, just lob some firecrackers out and let the big guy take care of them for you!

Can someone please refer me to cheap method of buying this game in xbox one (UK) ?!
Its £55 in the marketplace which is totally unacceptable .

Put nearly 19 hours so far into the PS4 version. Here are some quick thoughts:
+ Great soundtrack. Made me reminisce of Day of the Dead's soundtrack. Would grab a copy definitely if released.
+ Great graphics on the most part. Except swimming in the water. Yeech. Pixelated mess.
+ Solid parkour mechanics. Never really had too much of an issue making my way across the map quickly.
- Left4Dead zombies copy-pasted into the game. Really? Ya could've at least tried to make some different and interesting virals.
- Virals having perfect aim, and the occasional ability to find me anywhere on the map.
- Minor clipping and bugs involving parkour, mainly involving ledge grabbing.
- Gunplay wasn't improved from Dead Island. Come on, if ya gonna stick it in the game again, you could've at least tried to make it not handle like ass.
Kevin VanOrd's sentiments of Dying Light is closest to my own, even if I would've given it an 8/10. Comparing Techland's games to zombie movies... Dead Island is Zombi 2, Dead Island Riptide is Zombi 3, and Dying Light is Day of the Dead (1985).

That kind of Zombies is hardly "Left4dead" zombies? If we were to discuss were they were suppposedly stolen from I think the movie 28 Days later would be a better argument. Regardless I think that DLs virals are fun and engaging, in combat and stealth.
- Virals having perfect aim, and the occasional ability to find me anywhere on the map.
Perfect aim? You mean they always hit you? Because they don't. And Virals always goes to the origin of a loud sound, until they spot you then they go for you.
- Minor clipping and bugs involving parkour, mainly involving ledge grabbing.
Yeah, really a minor issue when factoring the ambitious mechanics.
- Gunplay wasn't improved from Dead Island. Come on, if ya gonna stick it in the game again, you could've at least tried to make it not handle like ass.
Agreed. Gunplay is weak.

If the moding tools are as good as they say , the veryfirst thing i am gonna request is better water .
After that , mod i n the ability to alter amount of zombies on screens .
I want streets to be jampacked full of them . no i don't care if it makes my PC explodes . just do it !

I should've been more specific. I am referring to special zombies/infected such as the Toad (spitter), Suicide Bomber (boomer), Demolisher (charger/tank). Their inclusion in Dying Light comes across a little uninspiring, especially when placed next to the Volatiles. Or maybe because I played Left4Dead too much and a bit of rut has set in.
Unfortunately I have experienced otherwise. I have exited an area, with no virals spotting me after the initial noise (as indicated by their arrow colour on the mini map). Next minute, virals are rubber-banding across the mini-map out of thin air, halfway through Harran until I entered a safe zone. I also experienced Toads doing the exact same thing. Mind you this was before I installed patch 1.02.
i'm trying to add you but you dont show up on search results. if you can, add me, JamonSerranoSky

Got some epic swords now. Anyone got a list or locations for the better blueprints?
I ventured onto the bridge at night and got the Surprise MF's up top. Some crazy shit climbing that tower.
Also is it possible to upgrade a weapon so it doesnt become breakable?
I love it. Reminds me of the OST in Farcry 3 Blood Dragon.

This game feels so fetch-questy. Does it ever change?

You may find them by exploring, they are marked with quarantine symbol on the minimap:

I'm hunting for few Blueprints. I'm onto finding few from this reddit post.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
you can buy ammo for all the guns. Its a trivial expense and the guns do not degrade. I use them sometimes. They kind of break the game a bit, honestly.
Yeah I'm not sure what they were thinking adding guns like this to the game. For the last 1/2 of my story playthrough I pretty much just used a Pistol and a Police rifle. One headshot to most zombies and it was dead, a few more to the stronger ones, and it made human enemies trivial.
I think during their runs many players will realize the dominant strategy here and see how useless all the fancy crafting and melee weapons are compared to the 1 shot kill guns.

I did the first find a gun quest co-op and got to keep the pistol... it does like 250 damage lol.
What they were thinking, idk.

The remote play controls for this game are horrible. It is downright unplayable in remote play.
I'm solo all the way, but I'm also a completely anti-social gamer so I'm not the best gauge.
Very grateful that this isn't one of those games that makes me feel like I'm playing it "wrong" if I'm not playing co-op. No locked out content, either.
No. I had co-op turned of from the get go. In these apocalypse games I much prefer exploring things by myself/ at my own pace.

You can fix that pretty easily. Just pry up the button with a small flathead screwdriver and clean out the residue with a qtip. I think the plastic wears down and creates residue that gums up the button. Push the button back in place and you should be good to go.
I'm doing both. The good and bad with coop is that more chaos ensures and its always great to share an experience. However, it also changes the pace of the game alot. Exploring and the overall speed of the game gets way way faster when I play with my friends and that isn't always good thing. Really no time to "feel the mood" if you will.

Totally agree with this post. Been pretty shocked by the General game press reaction to this game. Listened to DLC, Game Informer, polygon podcasts and everyone is kind if meh about it. People want more playground style dead rising sunset overdrive fun and level that as the games weakness. I love this semi realistic thing the game does!

I hate the way they use bloaters. You're in a building and open a door and a bloater rushes and kills you. Fuck that. What a cheap mechanic.

At what level do you get the really strong weapons ?
I know at survivor level 8 you get access to guns which are already overpowered but i am talking about about melee weapons .
Edit : in short , when do you start feeling godlike ?
It was when weapons went > 500 dmg for me when I felt OP. >1000 and killing zombie became trivial.
