First person melee combat with ugly weapons really turns me off this game. Melee combat is bad enough with cool looking shit in Vermintide 2.

I feel like if this game had guns or at least bows and things as a staple instead, I'd probably be into it.

I do remember stating that there are bows...

There are arrows! Haven't found a bow yet, but been wandering around exploring and haven't even unlocked the factions or met Rosario yet.

I got a green bow randomly off a bandit pretty early on, haven't run across one better or unlocked the Crossbow access.

Running well over 40-50fps on a 1080ti. Performance has been solid but a few issues.
A lot of cut and paste when it comes to safe houses/mini-settlements (not sure what exactly to call them).
Also a lot of chests on these roofs are stuck in walls. So you pick open a chest and can't get most of the stuff out because there is a wall right in the middle of the chest.
Some night time baddies like howlers just stand around and don't attack and can't be attacked.
And regular run of the mill zombies will die, fall to the ground, then stand up and not move.

You can NOT repair weapons. Which utterly sucks.
There is a co-op call for help system that you can help out or call for help. 9 out of 10 times you can not connect to anyone else.

Seems to be a 33.9MB patch on Steam now so will see what it does.

You can't even repair weapons now? Fucking Techland and their stupid fucking decisions! Looks like I'm waiting for a durability mod before I even consider playing.

When you upgrade weapons you repair their durability some. Higher quality weapons last a while and mods can extend their life. So, I can see upgraded weapons lasting quite a while.

Well ya play a guy who's traveled for 4 years as a Pilgrim (you are traveling with Spike from the first game) and you know no Parkour even though the game starts with it, and you have no idea how to do anything including repair weapons/gear? Just bad game design to remove it.

Starting to understand why the game was delayed for 5 years. After watching the E3 presentation, and what's in game, it looks like they had no idea what direction they wanted to take the game.

Have you played the game yet? Right in the prologue you get bitten and infected. You damn near turn before a dude slams something called a stabilizer in your gut -- medicine that kills most people. The following hour the game repeatedly shows how weak and fucked up you still are because of the infection. The game explains why you have to learn everything from scratch again ad nauseum!

Correct, but also their Parkour tree sucks ass too. Ya can't slide until ya put in 5 or 6 points into the tree. But still...repairing weapons?

Also you have a choice when ya upgrade weapons, more damage or more durability, ya don't get both.

Take what ya had from the first game and BUILD on it. It's like they had a jigsaw puzzle of the first game (skills and abilities), drop it, kicked a few pieces under the furniture and then dumped glue on the pile and served it up.

It's a gameplay design choice. It doesn't make sense reality wise, but it hardly ever does. It's a way to keep the balance. Can't have you running around with your perfectly tuned favorite weapon like you're Superman of Villador or whatever the city is called. No matter your advantage against the flesh eaters, it is always a temporary one.
I get it.

Is it a bad game? No. Is it a great game? No. Is it worth 60 bucks? No. 40 bucks top, especially with Co-Op still not working after the hotfix patch and simple things like survivor radar not working consistantly.

Three words: X Ray Vision. Fuck. That. Shit.

FREE Fling trainers, since years ! He is your friend !


And if you play online, first launch solo, run trainer, upgrade weapons to make them better and more durable, close trainer, then go online.

I understand not every person feels comfortable learning Cheat Engine to change any and all games, but Fling trainers are a rich staple resource for worldly gamers

Sure, there's always a trainer or DLL hook option out there. I'm more trusting of mods these days than Chinese or Russian sourced executables though, no offense.

I'll get around to Dying Light 2 eventually, I'm just hoping their mod policy isn't quite as bad as it was for Dying Light 1.

Never liked the day/night cycle where you had to deal with the over powered mutants in the first. Gave up before I heard you get more powerful than them. Dead Island on the other hand I loved. Probably the environment just really reeled me in but it was done real well. I'm still keeping hopes for a Dead Island 2.

I might look into this game once I eventually upgrade. I think at this point, my 1070 has had enough with next gen games, lol. That and I'm ruining the experience if I don't have all their bells and whistles.

The day/night cycle was one of my favorite features of the first game haha

Same here. First night out because I felt sooo mighty. And then suddenly, Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills" was my anthem when the superzombies started hunting me like there was no tomorrow. The end: There actually was no tomorrow for my character.
I absolutely loved how it felt like you were not Superman with a BFG from day 1.

Not sure about consoles, but for the Steam version, the first patch was released yesterday at the same time the game unlocked.

I will say that I understand the lack of gunplay being a deal-breaker for some, but honestly I like the more melee-centric gameplay. There are bows, spears, and throwing knives to round out ranged combat if need be, but overall the game is much more focused to melee combat.
