Played it for 8 hours and completly forgot about it. Not my type of game I guess.

DL 1 set the bar so high the sequel had no chance of living up to it, but congrats on the sales.

PC probably has at least half of those, based on CC numbers on steam. This game is the 25th most played game ever on steam.

I’m on the fence with dying light 2 the more I play the more I notice reused areas like when you go into buildings they look the same.

Wow. This franchise has sold way more copies than I thought.
Interesting since I never see anyone on my friends list play it and nobody talks about DL on forums.

Maybe that's why. DL is a PC platform focused franchise(?).

Still waiting for a 1440p/60 patch for the disappointing ps5 version (which will never happen). C'mon techland you really couldn't have done better than 1080p/60?

Talent? This game is inferior in the gameplay in every aspect compared the first imo. Maybe just the parkour is improved. But the rest is a copy and past galore of collectable a la Ubisoft.

One of the most popular games in the past 5 years was Breath of the Wild, which went absolutely crazy with copy/pasted stuff. Unfortunately I think people just don’t care, so devs cut corners.

Unfortunately you sum up perfectly what the whole game is about. If you abandon the main campaign (which is neither that great but still "tolerable") the rest of the game it's just a bad copy of the Ubisoft games formula. I replayed the first and side missions were one of the best part of the experience. Probably because the combat system was infinitely more balanced and fun compared the sequel.

Its' a fun game. I would say better than Horizon:FW and even Elden Ring (although different type of game). I just had more fun in DL2.

Holy shit 20 million sales for just Dying Light 1, that's impressive. I had no idea the game was so popular. Kind of puts into perspective the kind of popularity a series like Dark Souls has in the broader gaming sphere, with "only" 27 million across all three games with multiple re-releases.
Super keen on trying it some day.

Jeeeez, that's huge. I'm enjoying it a lot in co op. Just got back into it. Very fun game to just run around in and talk shit with your friends over the terrible dialogue.

Bought it day 1, enjoyed every minute of it despite some of it's flaws and if DL1 is anything to go by they will keep supporting it and adding content for *years* to come, outside of GaaS/mp centric games I can't think of any devs that support their titles to such a degree.

With the next gen upgrade I will be grabbing the first two games once I have time to actually play them !

Wasn’t really happy with the PC version performance and lack of HDR. Ended up doing a Steam refund. Will be interesting to see how it performs down the road or if they remove denuvo.
