A game that doesn't have anisotropic filtering or even trilinear filtering I wouldn't considering looking great. Image quality is terrible in this game because of it.
Because Deep Silver owns the Dead Island IP, not Techland. I don't think Techland owns any of the games they make. I believe even the Call of Juarez IP is owned by Ubisoft.
Techland was originally in talks to make Dead Island 2, but couldn't lock down a deal. So Deep Silver accepted Yager's pitch for Dead Island 2, shortly after they shipped Spec Ops: The Line back in 2012.
And Techland signed on with Warner Bros to do Dying Light, a spiritual sequel of sorts. Simple story, really.

Beat it in about 32 hour, but doing every side mission possible, basically. Also got 70% of the achievements in doing so. Loved the game, even with the end.
Oh the parkour system works.....it just looks terrible doing it almost all of the time. I will admit that higher levels of the Freerunning skill has made it much smoother (mostly because I can climb up ledges so much faster now).
And the "why isn't it called DI2" thing was kind of me being sarcastic

i guess i'm still early in the game but it feels like its so hard to kill stuff. burning another human with a molotov and he stands there screaming for 10 secs and doesn't die.
violaties and humans seem to have super human dodging and blocking abilities and seem to hit much harder than me and/or sometimes have no reaction to me smacking them. guess i need better weapons. losing survival xp is frustrating too. guess i should just run from stuff right now?
guess it could be worse...it could be like Final Fantasy XI where if you died you could actually level down lol

I cleared out a safe zone before bed last night. Wake up, load up, safe zone is red again, but all the inventory I used is gone. Fun.
Other than that, I'm really enjoying it. However, I wish I didn't see that PS4 AF thread with the Dying Light screenshots.

I encountered my first big glitch last night. A location/side mission spoiler I guess but no story spoilers

If i join someone elses coop, how does that work, do i lose my progress?
That exact same thing happened to me. I was able to find a spot to get down by the bathrooms I think. Strange that a mandatory event would trigger that.

I have that recorded as well. Happened in co-op.

I was about to say that it's because this game doesn't take place on an island, but then I realized the ACTUAL Dead Island 2 coming out later this year doesn't take place on an island, either (it's based in Los Angeles/Hollywood).

You were BFFs earlier in the game when she starts saying how much she appreciates everything you're doing for
them and doesn't blame you for her partners death and that you don't need to make up for it. She also gets you to stop Brecken, you do missions with her etc, there was an connection established between them. She did save the MCs life also so he's determined to save hers. Hallucination mission was stupid though.

You have to replace the bulbs In the building and than climb the tower to turn it on.
The power junction is up there just gotta keep climbing
I got as high as the platform with the bed and supply bag. Do I keep going higher?

See the towers are a little tricky where you gotta pay real close attention because the junction boxs are real easy to miss cause most of them are usually covered.
Especially since earlier in the game
where Jade gives you the antizen and you have to kill her, but that big guy attacks you. As he's dying you hold the knife to his neck and say something like, "I should let you suffer... but you're a loose end I'm not gonna leave untied!" And you slash his throat. So why leave Rais "untied?"
Yeah they need to ditch the entire AAA DUDEBRAH story schtick for the next game and just have the dude who wrote the sidequests write the main story.
I mean yeah, Dead Island was lolworthy with its story (and not in a good way), but at least it never took itself or its plot seriously as anything more than to give you context to run around with 4 friends and kill truckloads of zombies. It never got in the way of the fun, and I think I'd enjoy more of that with a potential Dying Light 2 rather than the overly pretentious shlock we got here. I mean shit, it's a coop Zombie game with ridiculous mechanics. Embrace it! Not every game has to be The Last of Us, and no one really expects that either. There's room in the market for just as much tickle as their is slap in the Zombie market, and trying to force your game otherwise is just silly. Just ask Dead Rising...

...and you get to fight HIM
Alright, I'm about 10% in and I'm getting absolutely slaughtered on my first mission for Rais.
Trying to flick switch at bottom of tower thing and died four times losing more and more XP. My weapons are doing fuck all damage (20 hits to down a regular zombie maybe and kick seems equally ineffective especially compared to Dead Island. Surely the game isn't supposed to be like this, what am I doing wrong? Have I overlooked something?
What's your gear like? Are you using blueprint weapons & weapon upgrades?
Shit gear as that's all I can find, pipes and planks mostly. Some shit machete thing that Rais left behind is my most damaging weapon so far - got some assassin thing in the slot that allegedly does 2x damage but weapon is close to breaking after 10 seconds.
Not used a blueprint yet...

Just finished the game over 36+ hours played
and I still want to keep playing. Man the game is awesome. It really surprised me how good the game is ... combat is satisfying, the music is great, environments are beautiful.
The skill trees are well done and I really like the MC. You might think he just a boring dude but I don't know something about him is just really likable .... thank god hes not voiced by Troy Baker (tired of hearing him)

Wait, that's not what I got from that scene; am I missing something? What I understood was:
Crane was tired of Rais' taunting and his constant implications that Crane was a sheep who would always do what he was told without thinking for himself. So when Rais was like "kill me", Crane decided "fuck you" and that he would just let Rais die from his injuries on the top of that tower, instead of killing him outright like he had done to Tahir, because Rais was telling him to do it. I never really got the implication that Crane wanted to let Rais live.
He didn't want either to live but he wanted to make sure Tahir was "finished" so he couldn't jump up and kill him like Rais seconds later. Shoulda just killed Rais. The "opposite" thing theory is funny though, I could buy that I guess.
Yep.
I wouldn't worry about it though, as the upgrades show up constantly. Just don't be putting an orange level upgrade on some toss away weapon and you'll be fine.
Thanks.
In the first part of the game, what should I be spending money on? And should I hang onto valuables or just sell them?
Valuables are there to sell, there's no in game use for them so go ahead and sell them ASAP.
And just spend on whatever. Money is never a problem in the game. I have like 500k @ 70% game completion atm, and I just buy a new weapon when one of my old ones break.

I've found that if you make the quest active the item you're after shows up everywhere so I never keep coffee or cigarettes or anything like that, I always just sell them.
I'm at 43/44 sidequests done and that's the only one in the game that was ever like that.
Just sell 'em.

BOOMERS are the worst! The last 5 times I died were because I found a room hidden away deep inside somewhere like the top of the bridge or a basement. I unlock a hard door and a Boomer explodes killing me instantly and making me run back.
