Support NeoGAF

[KiefbladeMaster]

The framerate doesn't look too solid in the OP video. Am I crazy or is it the motion blur or something?

Can't deal with any more tower unlocks, sorry.

1. Do not pre-order this game and support shitty practices.

2. Do not buy this game because you'll be directly supporting shitty practices.

3. Do not let your friends buy this game for the above reasons

4. Do not ever consider buying this game, even pre-owned

5. Do not let the hype from less informed gamers who don't care about what's right or wrong influence you. Stay strong, you're doing gamers everywhere a service by boycotting such stupid practices.

6. Do not let anyone tell you that you're lone voice/boycott won't amount to anything. History has proven otherwise.

7. Do make sure to make it as clear as possible to publishers that you will never support any game where they lock entire modes behind a pre-order wall.

Looking for evolve thread?

I have a feeling this will review pretty averagely but will be fun as hell.

This on so many levels. Loved Dead Island to death.

 

[JumpJeff84]

Looks fun to me. I loved Dead Island though.

The part where he's pushing zombies off of cliffs is great.

 

[seat]

This game is looking quite fun. Being a GCU member, I'm sure glad I preordered this game. Not taking advantage of the 20% off, plus $10 gift certificate, plus an extra $10 off coupon last week towards the game would have been pretty stupid.

However, I admit I admire Miles' dedication to his cause. I agree with him: Sonic doesn't have blue arms, and it should stay that way. If you have to mace a GameStop employee to prove that point, so be it.

 

[SargerusBR]

PlayStation Access posted another gameplay video:

Dying Light Gameplay - Can We Survive The Night?

Night gameplay looks great. Except for the fact the radar shows where the uber-zombies are and their FoV. Hope there is a way to disable that.

I agree with almost everything you wrote. But I might get the game when it's $10 or less though.

 

[spannicus]

Game looks awesome

 

[derFeef]

New trailer: We've Got It All

Can't wait for this!

Love how their trailers are 60fps.

 

[Shinjica]

Not everyone values certain models of business over their own personal tastes and pleasure.

Well, even if I agree with you, pre ordering a game is still a bad move because you dont know how the game will come out.

 

[icecold1983]

visuals look rather poor, like a low budget cross gen game. the overall lighting and shading/materials is pretty poor, but the areas receiving only ambient light look atrocious.

 

[Bold One]

can you do the whole game in co op?

 

[-MD-]

can you do the whole game in co op?

Yes.

 

[Bold One]

Yes.

 

[fantomena]

Will buy on a very cheap PC game sale somewhere.

 

[tuna_love]

So fucking hyped for this.

 

[Laughing Banana]

1. I want to play it

2. It looks fun

3. I don't care that they did preorder shit, its always terrible anyways, never would have even played it.

4. Stop telling me what I can or can't buy



I guess no one should ever buy an XB1 then too

You sound like a zealot. This game doesn't really seem to offend that much in those categories, don't really see what the big deal is. Also, mid-tier developer, mid-tier looking game (not to say it won't be good), of all games to plaster this list across, why this one? Seems better suited for something a little more high profile. Or do you post this in every thread for a game with incentives like this?

Not everyone values certain models of business over their own personal tastes and pleasure.

All I can see is do do do do do do do. The "nots" aren't italicized... I get it.

Guess I should preorder.

I can't wait for my pre-order to arrive.

Of course.



I already bought it, sorry bud.

Sorry mate, I loved Dead Island in co-op with my friend and this game looks fucking great. Bought it for 25€ and am gonna play the shit out of it.

This game quickly went from 'meh' to 'buy'.



Wow, you're kind of an asshole. Do you also buy millions of dollars worth of Amiibos just so nobody else gets fooled into buying them?

Lol you sound like fun....

I don't like telling people how to spend their money, but I agree that consumer behavior has to change or things will continue on as they are or get worse

Mission failed.

"Do not play video games" is what I'm hearing.

Edit: I do support the first "commandment" though. I do not suggest pre ordering this game because of the playable zombie DLC. That is crooked. But people can do whatever they'd like...

Just wondering why you posted this - what have they done that's so horrible?

Preordered mine just the other day! Wanna see the preorder slip?

I'm encouraging two other friends to get it as well.

This is what we call "spite".

While I agree that we shouldn't support this kind of bullshit (Warner are very bad at this and subsequently are one of my least favourite publishers), you'll just piss people off telling them what they should and shouldn't spend their money on.

I'm intending on buying, playing, and trading it within a week or two. As long as I can complete the main story without paying extra I don't really care what they do with the other modes.

pre-ordered. Thanks for the tips.

I was going to post how the video looked good/interesting but I would likely wait for reviews.


Now I am buying two copies of this game. One for me, and one for a friend. Thanks solely to this post.

I enjoyed Dead Island so Dying Light is pretty much a guaranteed purchase for me

Deep Silver...is that you???

Looking for evolve thread?

Man, you guys totally fell for it.

I bet his plan was to actually make you buy the game in the first place!

 

[Jwebster24]

Looks good but think i'm going to wait for reviews first before I buy.

 

[Lord Phol]

Didn't like Dead Island at all but this looks fun, might even pre-order.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

I saw a video of this which had terrible screen tearing a few weeks ago and I wrote it off.

This footage however, looks, kind of amazing? I'm definitely keeping an eye on this now.

 

[HDM]

Is Dying Light delayed ?
Amazon France has moved the delivery date to the 31 March.

http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00DASOFKA/

Hope it's just an error.

Looks like a stock date, I doubt it got delayed.

this news is seriously lacking source ...is amazon their source ?

 

[derFeef]

Everywhere I looked it's still 30th Jan.

 

[foxbeldin]

this news is seriously lacking sources ...is amazon their source ?

No. They newsed it prior to the amazon change i think.

Also here : http://playerone.tv/news/v/6496/dyi...une-date-inconnue-sur-pc-ps4-et-xbox-one.html

It says Micromania (biggest retailer in France) isn't taking preorders anymore for now.

edit : another big retailer in France (FNAC) has pushed the release date to february 27th. Something is definitely going on.

Would they delay it if you can already pre load it?

No, it's gone Gold.

Someone posted this yesterday on gamergen's forums.

Je travaille dans un magasin qui vend des jeux , et le responsable de source fiable tenais l'info qu'il serait repoussé à cause de certaines scènes qui rappèlerais les attentats de janvier et que donc ils serais contraint de supprimer des passages ou de les transformer...

Translation

I work in retail, and the manager knows from a reliable source that the game is pushed due to certain scenes reminding the january attacks and they have to remove or change them.

Charlie Hebdo?

 

[martino]

No, it's gone Gold.

Is Dying ligth gold ? How many time a game need to be gold before a physical release ?

C'est charlie qui doit se retourner dans sa tombe à la vue de cette conséquence.

Just once. But let's not forget what happened with Little Big Planet and the Tapha Niang song.

 

[tuna_love]

What happened?

 

[foxbeldin]

What happened?

Game was pulled a few days before its release because there were verses from the quran in the lyrics of one song.

This one

All physical copies recalled (a few of them broke street date).

Full story

Maybe it will be delayed only in France.
If so,thanks god there are VPNs

Holy shit. That couldn't have been cheap. I have this pre loaded already. Hopefully no delay or not a long one.

 

[Gamezone]

The DLC practices with this game is awful, but the game looks awsome. Im not going to avoid the game just because of that. I personally couldn`t care much about multiplayer DLC anyway.

 

[Shredderi]

The game looks good in 60fps. Kind of worried now for the delay possibility... Well I guess I'm kind of swamped with work anyway so the joke's on them, right?

So it's not just France. Now we play the waiting game for an official word.

Cant believe they felt they had to explain the "joke" behind "Xp-calibur"

I don't like this.

 

[ViciousDS]

Yes.

WWWHHAATTTT

omg fucking pre-ordered....holy shit!
