Finished the story.
Now I have a nasty bug where the endboss music plays all the time when you load the save...

Take whatever he says with a big grain of salt. He is known for making a lot of mistakes and giving wrong numbers. I wouldn't trust him

Cannot believe I get this for free for getting the season pass for Dying Light 2 season pass or whatever it was I got on release day of the original game!
Anyway, played it for an hour or 2 today. Really enjoyed it. For the sum of zero dollars, that's even better!!!

This was something I loved about the first game. I genuinely had a sense of dread while playing it. I felt a need to make sure I was somewhere safe as night fell, because it was a really bad idea to be out after that.
I never played the second game, but I think the horror and dread wasn't really there..? How is it in this one?

It is definitely there. I had 4 volatiles underneath the lookout I was standing on.
The normal zombies are also more dangerous, although I'm playing on brutal. Once they get within 10 feet of you they start running.

They have suceeded in making nights scary again.
Found a watch tower safe zone so I could get an idea of the atmosphere, it is absolutely pitch black and terrifying. You can hear the volatiles prowling around.
The second screenshot is just looking out into the forest with no flashlight. Can't see a thing except the lights on at a castle in the distance.
That's how it's done! I truly wish many more games had wat darker nights. Of course not always this pitch black dark, but way darker than they are now. So many games have a night time looking like it's daytime, ridiculous.
And this way you truly have use for a flashlight or nvg. So it's this dark while brightness setting in the game is proper? That's amazing.

No I haven't done anything except turn HDR on. I have a 42 inch LG C2 as a monitor so it is black as the void, not even backlight.

Anybody know what's up with the discrepancy between OpenCritic's 86% and MetaCritic's 78%? That's a wider gap than I'm used to seeing.

You didn't get it for free, you paid for it 3 years in advance. The Beast was originally intended to be the second story DLC that was promised for the $100+ edition

I get that but this is effectively a new game! I got the expansions as part of that deal but I didn't expect a whole new game from that deal!

Opencritic is 82 not 86. So it's 82 v. 78. The reason comes down to Metacritic giving higher weight to larger outlets. Also Opencritic combines all platforms into one score.

Ah, ok. The OC score came down from the pic in the OP, I suppose.
Looking forward to trying this game out! Sounds like it's more like Dying Light 1.

Yeah I can't wait to play it over my Christmas holidays. Dying Light was one of my favorite games last gen. I'm a horror fan, so the spooky night time gameplay sounds awesome.

Been looking forward to this one.
Waiting until BL4 is it if the way and will jump into this.
Been fixated with 7 days to die and put several hundred hours into that before burning out. Need a new zombie fix and loved the og dl1. Dl2 not so much

Yes, even an inferior version of dl1 is still a good game.

It's on purpose to force you to use the torch.
But yeah it's unnaturally pitch black.

I'm climbing church steeples and running over orange-tiled European rooftops with Roger Craig Smith on narration. I'm getting deja vu.

You could spend hours in the forest., plenty of POIs to investigate and goodies to find. The gameplay cycle is still unrivalled, the impending death sentence of night makes your time feel valuable.
I just stood here for a few minutes and listened to the calming soundtrack, they really nailed the atmosphere in this game.
Also note the cliff blocking the sunlight whereas in the distance where it's still open you have a few more minutes of daylight to go about your business.

The game is great man, I love the interiors this time, they have more variety and feel less repetitive. They really listened the feedback from the community.

I sure hope you can toggle the CA off. Yikes!

There's no way it's that low, absolutely no way. I watched XboxEra's video review and he shows Xbox SX footage first and there is no way that's 500p, if anything I'd say 1080p or higher.
