Dying Light: The Following |OT| Still has zombies in swimsuits
- Thread starter ryseing
- Start date
Keep in mind that most of that world will probably be somewhat empty in order to give space for driving. Techland's done an impressive job with this expansion nonetheless.
Nope.
Oh, no. Sorry for any confusion.
Just a consumer wanting to hear from fellow Gaffers if the new version is a considerable improvement.
I remember hearing how the game had a great sense of tension for the first few hours...but then devolved into something less interesting as the player leveled up. I'm hoping that gets addressed in the new version.
I bought the game and its season pass on PC a long time ago, but never got around to playing it. The new version seems just the thing to rekindle my initial interest.

Excited! Purchased this during the December sale, and it's been tough to wait this long.
Is difficulty changeable? Do you have to start Nightmare with a new character, or can you just up it later?

bozak generally easier to solo than coop. that said, i still haven't done the explosive arrow challenge.
can someone please clarify that it will level boost me if I just do the expansion. I have played and completed the original on my old US PSN account but not done the same using my Norwegian PSN. Does it do what heart of stone did and rank you up to the level start?
Thanks
never saw anyone anywhere from techland say there would be a level boost, where did you hear there would be one? or are you just engaging in some wishful thinking/assumptions?

Yep pretty much is, with the new map being twice as big as the vanilla map. The countryside setting with scattered towns and a buggy to get around is going to soak at least a couple hundred hours for myself...

So looking forward to jumping back into this.
Loved my time with it on the first go round, but taking a small break from the game left me and my co-op buddy miles apart in terms of capability and difficulty and completion, so I ended up putting it down.
I only ever got maybe a third in, but it was all good. Restarting and re-learning my parkour routes is more than welcome.

Dying Light was my personal sleeper hit of 2015, I am very excited for The Following. The countryside will be a welcome change from the urban areas of the main game.

You have to coop it to get the arrows

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
It's impossible for me. i'm on hard with a character I'm purposefully not upgrading (except for grapple/throws) because I think the base game is hilariously fun with a weak character... but in turn it makes soloing bozak impossible.
I would like to have the bow for this character, but they won't let me. I would rather have just bought the f'n thing outright. I kind of did, tbh... they advertised the bow before really describing the actual dlc mechanics.
Yes, I'm salty about. Before this expansion, their dlc efforts had been quite bad.
Question:
is The Following wholly separate from the main game?
Or can I play some of the main game, travel to The Following countryside for a bit and do some quests, then go back to the main game area, etc.
I'm hoping its not a separate mode that can only be accessed outside of a main game play-though.

Guess I'll be playing this soon. Most of our old Destiny static are going to co-op the hell out of this game. I tried the demo over the weekend and it's definitely a successor to Dead Island in every shape and form. Probably the most fun I had in a zombie themed game in a along time. I'd spend just hours parkouring all over the place or just hacking zombies.
Night time is where things get interesting, heh.
Almost bought it digital for 30 bucks on PSN, but something told me to wait.

OP mentions console performance upgrades but I'd be interested in details too.

What's a good starting difficulty?

Hard. As soon as you start getting decent weapons it becomes a cake walk. Can't wait to try out the new Nightmare difficulty.
"You will be able to freely transfer your character progress between the base game and Dying Light: The Following at any point through the main menu."

Isn't it two different characters though? Also it's not seamless like GTA where you can drive from the city to the countryside is it?
I got the base game + SP on PS4 for $20 the week it came out because of the infamous Gamestop price glitch, but ended up playing through it on the PC anyway since I'd already bought it there. Bought the SP on the PC while it was still $20. Hope The Following lives up to the hype.

I believe you play as the same guy in both the base game and the expansion.

Normal daytime zombies are really only a threat for the first few hours, and even then, they arent much of a problem.
Nighttime zombies are a completely different story though, even when you are high level they can destroy you pretty quickly and it makes the game much more "survival horror" than just running around in the daytime destroying normal zombies.
Nice!
I'm hoping its a pretty easy process; as simple as visiting another loaded area.

"The difficulty isnt as savage as, say, Bloodborne: The Old Hunters, but The Following will definitely challenge even the most seasoned of Dying Light players."
Nice. The game really needed a bigger challange for endgame.

These were fixed months ago.
I still haven't gotten certain trophies, even though I did all the quests, and saved all the safehouses. I did all the safehouses twice.

Any details on the changes they made for this? Graphics etc?

I have a question and hope someone can answer. I have beaten the game but just yesterday chose to replay a mission trying to get a trophy. When I launch "the following" tonight will I have to replay the final mission to have a save post campaign or will the game remember that I beaten it prior to replaying an earlier mission? Sorry for the long question but it's kinda driving me nuts.
no, you do not. you don't have to coop any part of bozak horde to get anything. it can all be done solo. you can get the bow and all the blueprints solo.
well if you are purposely gimping yourself by not leveling up your character then you already know what you can do to help yourself beat bozak. i think without the parkour upgrades getting the explosive arrow blueprint (beat the challenge in under 31 min solo) is going to be impossible.
also bozak doesn't change whether your game is set to normal or hard difficulty. it's the same for both.

Chromatic aberration toggle on consoles. Yes or no?
I had to sell the game previously because it was so over the top in the base game. I am not even a snob about it in most games but here is was making my head hurt.

Yes, I said it was impossible.
And my health packs are different. Along with some other stuff, like stamina drain, etc... at least it feels that way.

I'm looking for first-time players/gaffers to co-op the *vanilla game* (+enhancements) which I've bought for cheap (15) last month and have been waiting for the patch to hit to start playing.
Adding myself to the spreadsheet, if you add me send me a request telling me your GAF handle or I'll probably ignore you if I mistake u for a random

WOW, almost the size of the original game with patches (20gb). I wonder if the update comes with The Following already,

Didn't someone in one of the other threads say it now ran at an unlock framerate and closer to 60fps?

The only thing you would be missing out on are a few new quarantine zones and the Bozak Horde (neither of which is very interesting IMO), and a few additional costumes. None of which justify the additional $10 IMO.

Dunno why I can't add myself to the spreadsheet, not via the website nor the google sheets app
If a kind soul who's more lucky than I with the edits could do it for me I'd appreciate it.
