Multiplat Dying Light

UnitedWarrior93 · Jan 30, 2015

Couldn't find a thread on this, and surprised there isn't one as this game is being released today. Has been getting good reviews and from all reports is much better than the dead island series. Looks like a combination of dead island, far cry and mirrors edge.

Anyone picking this up?

There was a thread but I couldn't find it either.

Game has been delayed until the 27th of Feb

Why the delay? That's annoying, was keen to pick this up

Digital copies are still available but the disc copies are delayed because they didn't produce enough in time, it's a shame because I was hopefully going to complete most of it by the time Order releases.

So has no one here played it? :s

Actually some fairly positive stuff out there by the sounds, makes it even more baffling that no one here has played the damn thing considering some of the turds that have huge threads!

It's only out digitally on console, so that would explain the lack of anyone playing it.

I'm considering picking it up based on relatively positive stuff. But unfortunately when it arrives on console is right around the time of The Order. This would be the absolute perfect time for a nice open world zombie game to **** around in. Very disappointing that they had to delay.

Might explain a fewer amount of people playing it, but literally no one is bizarre :\

Is digital more expensive than hard copy or something? Pretty damn backwards if so.

$99.95 on PS Store, I'd guess the same for XBOX ONE.

I'm interested...but not THAT interested. Much rather pick it up for $60-$70 upon retail release if I do go for it.

Yeah i'm keen on getting it around that price from Target/DSE, $100 just for the standard edition is ridiculous. There are a few people on my friends list who bought it & are enjoying it though.

You're right that the delay is disappointing because this would be the perfect time to get stuck into it without it clashing with the late Feb releases, still want it though so i've got no probs if I have to switch between it & the Order.

Digital pricing on consoles is still in the darkages. No one in their right mind is paying $100 for digital editions with no benefits.

Right, makes sense now. That is ridiculous.

Seen it labelled as a serious version of sunset overdrive

UnitedWarrior93 · Feb 1, 2015

Been hearing great things about the day-night cycle. Day time seems like it's more free roaming, causing havoc and racking up your kills, while night looks like you'll need to be stealthy and keep clear of the zombies as they become extremely aggressive at night.

Sounds like great fun

I have been playing it.

Once you level up the night cycle becomes piss easy. Use fast weapons and swords when you get them

Seems like fun from what Im hearing, but this might just go on the list to get once the price starts to drop

What is the game like though? How long does leveling up take?

Tell us things!

I leveled up at a good pace if you do all the side quests and scavange at the start you should be around level 12 for all 3 skill trees when you leave the slums.

Night is a good addition but it becomes quite easy to do after a while.

Good game, great graphics, Great gore and has some good skills and fun weapons to use.

Has crashed on me a bit at times but it is a fun experience.

The game does encourage you to try out different things like using traps, distractions and it is great to play in co-op
