Best mechanic in game: drop kicking zombies off roofs
And the funniest thing on be the zombie someone somehow misses a dropkick
@@blizzrdddd_7798 The most funniest when you drop kick a enemy human npc from its behind on the roof then it will t pose for a second until the effect comes and ragdolls away.
Never gets old. 😎
Or grapple throw them off a cliff
@@angelofthedead1886 ive seen a zombie stuck in a t pose and i could walk through the zombie
I still remember spending nights hiding in a roof somewhere while waiting for daylight to come, that's immersive AF.
or just camping out in some building hearing volatiles and shit right outside
@@MembersOfHistory Then turn right back around. Scariest game I ever played by far.
the dying light night is the only thing that will make me jump and make me more terrified than ever if a volatile notices me
yea man, i never was able to travel at night lol.. Too scary!!
Yeah I swear I felt breathing on the back of my neck playing at night while being chased by the volatiles.
The fondest memory I ever had with Dying Light was the fact that you can play with your friends in story mode.
Wait you can?
@@link_c988 yes people and friends can jump in when you host ur game
@@One-Headlight Haha that's pretty cool
And you can exit and enter whenever you want, like it's the most dinamic multiplayer experience ever, fucking awesome
I remember this one time when I used to have internet, this guy joined my game and just started dropping OP weapons, cash and a bunch of crafting components everywhere! That was only a couple weeks after I started the game too, so I was pretty damn happy! LOL 😂
I always run like a child when the radio automatically on and some operator said "it's almost night, do not try to be a hero find a shelter and wait for the morning. Good night & good luck!". And night coming with the sound of volatiles screams.
I never find this atmosphere in every zombie games so far.
Most zombie games are third person. I feel like it make things a lot less scary or tense
lol, cant wait to experience this!!! im literally half hour into the game atm....
@@tfyk5623 Resident Evil(the new ones) are kinda zombie games and they aint third person.. but i still get your point
@@raidermaxx2324 third person games aren’t bad and can build tension very well. But first person shit tickles me right
@@tfyk5623 yea i used to prefer the first person, but something is changed over time for me, for example i was really disappointed that cyberpunk wasnt third person like witcher was. Sure it had lots of other problems, butstill that was like the biggesst deal breaker for me. its weird how preferences change.. I also recently switched from life long invert X axis person to regular vertical camerra movement, after literally 20 years of only being able to play a game with inverting the X axis.. lol And it just fucking happened like over night. Dont know why im telling you this sorry
One thing that especially goes under praised is just how good the soundtrack and general atmosphere of the game is.
Oh for sure. This game is in my Top Five Games of All Time.
Owww the atmosphere......... just perfect!
Defo..it has a kinda 80's synth wave horror vibe to the music and sound effects..love it
Completely agree!
💯
Still remember climbing the bridge for the first time, not many games give you that feeling of height.
Climbing that bridge was one of the most enticing things in the whole game, without a doubt!
the secret ingredient is the sound of wind and the motion blur for sure
It was genuinely scary i really didn't want to fall off, just do what i needed to do and gtfo
Oh yeah, can't remember how many times i died doing that
Some of those towers were just as edgy as the bridge if not more especially going to the tiptop to check for banners.
You gotta love the Techland devs too. Even though Dying Light has been out since 2015, they still add more things into it.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they keep doing so after DL2 launches
Facts the DLC for this game is so good.
The best thing is playing the first DL and seeing all the hints the devs put in for the second game. Oh, it's so cool.
@@brokenbiscuit3609 the following endings
@@FBI-sr2eg Techland confirmed that they're planning to support Dying Light 2 for four years after launch.
The random slow-mo when slashing zombies is pretty satisfying
Yeah I know right! Killing floor has it too but I don't really like it but somehow the rarity and that slowmo effect with the audio just pair it up real well in DL
I thinks it’s a powerful hit
Especially after grinding up from a pipe or a floor plank to a premium katana blade at max survivor level
I agree, coupled with the x-ray its just so damn satisfying
Glad dying light 2 wasn't cancelled.
Hellraid is crying in a corner
I was hoping it was cancelled.
@@God-ld6ll why?
Dude same
@@thedankcloud840 cus you
It's crazy it's been six years already.. Damn, time flies when your life is falling apart
Life, world, entire world, reality...yeah. But the games are good:)
I'd work on the life aspect buddy.
Never related to comment more
U got me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Lmao
Dying Light is one of those games that has you hooked 24/7 for a while
You're not kidding. I personally think it's "ok", even a bit boring for the most part. Not bashing it, just my opinion...I literally uninstalled it after 12 hours of quests, side quests, all safe houses unlocked and loot farming.....then thought about it and installed it like "well, let's just see what happens next" then I got hit with the School Mission. I plan on completing the game now.
True
for a while = since the day it came out =)
Can relate. I put 80+ hours into it in like a month
I'm in it now :)
The first time I experienced night time in this game I was HOOKED. Such a great game!
Looking forward to the sequel.
I cried like a bitch running back to the tower from that air drop hahaha.
yeah they nailed night horror like few games ever have
@@gotplague i can assure you most of the player base for dying light 1 had the same reaction XD. In my case i still remember it was 3 AM in the morning and when that scene appeared i was so terrified i literally pressed the PS home button and stayed on home screen for atleast 20 minutes XD
@@gotplague no shame I was the same
This peep sound from the clock when daytime ends is terrifying.
Then all you hear is volatiles howling and you see night is coming
Yeah
Beep beep. Beep beep. Beep beep. Swwoooosh. "Oh shit, where is the closest safe house.."
@@fen4554 YESSSSSS
@@fen4554 "you can't sleep with monsters nearby"
Actually quite a few volatiles got into the safezones... Several times...
Anyone else remember the first time you were playing Dying Light and you were trying to get away and climbing up a roof and that rush of "GET YOUR FEET UP ALREADY!!" panic sets in? That was what sealed this game for me.
Then by the end of the game and you're a parkour pro, doing tic tacs and vaults seamlessly and look back at how far you've come. 🧟♂️🧟♀️
Damn I really hated that mission in the air drop story quest. Volatiles spawned in that mission like 10 times more than they would normally do.
But yeah I love the game! Kept playing it for more than a half decade.
Literally scared the piss out of me everytime
I fell down in the dark into a alley full of those unique screaming ones omg 😆 I was running for my life heart was pumping 😂
Such an underrated game. It’s been getting loads of recognition recently and I couldn’t be happier. I played it at launch but for those of you who picked it up during quarantine or another time, I’m glad you got to experience it.
First: How is it "underrated" ? People sure love to throw that word around a lot these days. Millions upon Millions of people love this game, GLOBALLY, how is it "underrated"?
2nd: It's getting "loads" of recognition recently because, gee, they introduced part 2 and now part 1 is on sale all over the place. So people like me, which at first thought it was a mediocre looking game, ended up buying it, and now realizing....it really is a mediocre game that involves running around a bland map for hours on end, running errands while everybody else in your hub stands around, and complains, like "we need to start helping out around here." or "Hey, good job out there while I sit here and throw temper tantrums."
I've dumped 12 hours into this game, finished... I dunno, 7 missions, 3 side missions, all safe houses unlocked, loot farming runs, and I truly believe that this game isn't going to get too much better at this point.
Bought it randomly a few months back and started co-oping with a friend who I often game with. We have now pre-ordered DL2 and he is mad I said I wanted to play through it solo alone first... You could say Dying Light made a small impression on me about these devs, and the general care of the game xD
One word for DL, atmosphere. The immersion from this atmos was level 9000.
While playing this , I would get stoned and find myself really far from a safe house at night and try and see if I can make it back . It was terrifying
Stoned minds think alike. Now that I've completed the game like 5 times. I rather spend my time at night running from the volatiles
Same man. Seems like just yesterday I was playing this game and laughing at Tomato Gaming.
Oh man I bought this game a few days ago and I’m absolutely hooked on it. But I’m that kind of person who absolutely shits themselves at night and tries to avoid it as often as possible lmao
Hahahah soo true
Drop some acid and try. Wonder how is would be.
The feeling of finally making it to a safehouse after you lost track of time and found yourself running thru the dark. Perfect!
The feeling of waiting for the night to do the missions is also amazing. Night time is fun.
Sometimes I would try and test my skills and make sure I was far away from a safe house and waited until it was almost dark before I started running back. That's intense
I couldn’t the game on nightmare mode was too hard to survive the night and get lost bc I couldn’t afford to
Anyone remember that time when you met the bomber for the first time and you were scared so much that you felt like your heart came out of you body?
You mean the one that blast, damn that was scary af 🤯😂
Bombers are the scariest fucking thing in the game, volatiles or others don't even compare. You think you're safe and you start picking a lock, but suddenly you hear the bomber groaning behind you, about to blow up. Panic ensues
Me
@@EdwardXD11 yea even if u have like 500 hrs it still very dangerous but not scary just funny
@@kartikhereboii it isnt it just takes some getting used to
One of my all-time favourite! Just did a second run-through, and it really stands the test of time, and is way better than many newer and bigger titles...
I haven’t played it, but I just bought the platinum bundle on sale, excited to play it after reading the comments
one of my all time favourite too . put nearly a thousand hours in it.
"Good night, and good luck" was one of my favorite quotes from a video game
Yeah and now with dl2 nights with zombies evolved years later I think we only get them to say good luck
Yeah and I'm coming home ace from D2
When night time started rolling around you could feel it.
a sort of quiet anxiety.
almost... calm.
but not calm in any way. you know all too well what comes next....
7 days to die always has me at night. Hate it lol
Its still here. I can feel it
My legend level is maxed out and it still scares me to go out at night
The chills...
You know, it's crazy to think that this game came out in 2015 and still plays as a better game than Cyberpunk. Compared to each other, this game is objectively better.
Also dying light wasn’t broken when it released lmao
@@SAMSARALIVEEEEEE There were bugs but no game breaking ones mostly just the Bethesda type of bugs where enemies would sometimes T Pose and your character taking infinite fall dmg when collision messes up.
@@DragonReaver Did it have zombies running backwards?
Still think some of those bugs were both for extra publicity and to screw with the cacked versions of the game.
I still remember the duplication throw bug that was awsome.
@@alfreddominguezlll5417 theres a duplication glitch for pc but not for weapons you can literally get like 99 of those packs that you bring to the quartermaster
My favorite thing by far for Dying Light was really just the immense attention to detail. You could enter at least a 1/4 of all the buildings you saw and there was actually stuff you could loot and scavenge for in them. I wasn't big on the whole crafting thing myself, but the fact that I can run out into any group of buildings and probably enter it was just a huge plus for me. That and all the hidden environments like the closed shopfronts that you could open to loot it really just combined for a truly immersive game world that I still appreciate to this day.
"What made Dying Light a Big Deal?"
1st person horror, looting & crafting, parkour game with a decent skill tree and free roam map to explore.
Even the multiplayer was really good too I loved it
2 free roam maps😎
@@giogio68 3 with the following!
And awesome physics and music and horror
For sure the skill tree actually gave you skills that actually mattered and made you play the game a different and better way.
I played it when I was a scared teenager not really used to the horror genre. As soon as the first night mission came I was like "That's it, I'm done"
Same. I put the disk back in the case and didn’t pick it up until a few months later. And once I came back for the second time I didn’t put it down for over 2 years
Lmaooo if u think that's scary try resident evil. You'll piss on yourself
Same, every time those night creatures saw me I would restart the mission
Bro same here😂😂 I’ve literally never played a horror game or horror sub genre. So the night missions were SCARRY. Not nearly as scary with the grapple but it’s still pretty intense sometimes.
@@jissoboss bro, I legit avoided that first encounter, I was so paranoid that my agility level was 18 and I had a grappling hook before I did it
I’m over the top excited for this! There’s so much nostalgia in this video! Thanks for reminding me of the feeling of climbing towers with sounds of zombies slowly fading and being only accompanied by the gusts of wind! If anything you’re underselling Dying Light! It’s one of the most user focused games in history and I’m sure the sequel will be just as amazing!!! Thanks for the video 👍
Glad you liked it.
@@gameranxTV 🥰
The story the voice acting the gameplay all PERFECT
Ehhhhhh.... might wanna think about the story, chief
Yes... Voice acting is ok but the story... Facial expressions... Meh it's really bad, but despite all of that I enjoyed that game, I have 163 hours so I know what I'm talking about :)
@@simPL306 only 163 hours that's nothing
Idk i disagree tbh i love the game with all my heart, top 3 of all time easily, but the voice acting was shitty a lot of the times, with like no emotion and the story seemed random at times and predictable at others, also with a horrible ending imo. the following is different tho, they def improved on story and whatnot,, but i agree with you 100% no games have ever been as enticing as dying light was for me and literally just running around on roof tops in old town killing zombies gave me the time of my life, 10/10 gameplay
@@7rost well for dying light its actually pretty solid, not really much you can do in the game once you finish it besides grind and do the fetching/escort quests
Still play Dying Light to this day, can't get enough of it. Can't wait for DL2.
same
Same same
Same here....now since we have dl2 update....its time for some dropkick and curb stomps.....
Same!
same here
One thing: Drop kicking zombies off a roof. It was the freaking best.
Yes and watching their fall and splatter.
I would always tackle them into a corner and never let them back on there feet by kicking them
There's an achievement for it & i love doing it in old town
Breaking their legs while sliding is the best for me, crippling those bastards and watch them crawling is the best
Bro, hell yeah! Lmao
It's a game where you can feel that it was made with love from everyone involved. The quality of the game is just amazing. Everything from the gameplay to the soundtracks, to main story and the environment you play in. Truly a game like no other.
It's just one of those games that came out of nowhere, just like subnautica, no one knew it existed, then it blew up.
Agh. Dying light, Subnautica, and even your profile name. A person of great taste, you are
DL is one of them games where you play for what feels like 15 minuets, then boom. Its 3 in the morning and you are still having a good time.
Legit, havnt played a game like it since it came out, so addictive

Last night I played an hour in Nightmare mode, died at 2AM and lost 900,000 XP but it wasn’t bad.. I went back at it lol
•And after all these years it’s still underrated•
Idk..17 million players
list is long but witcher 3, far cry 3, mafia 2, dying light & Madmax are evergreen
@Nie wiem Kurde i haven't said underrated but evergreen
@@djay5818 i have to agree with these games. But evergreens for me are on a older generation with games like Half Life 1-2, Metal Gear Solid 1-4, Bioshock 1-3, God of War 1-3, and of course the great Deus Ex
Good lets hope it stays healthy
One thing that DL2 should've not do is to add a healthbar. In DL, the hud elements aren't bothering you a lot, keeping you very immersed in the game. Having floating healthbars not only cuts that immersion easily, but it also cuts a big scary stuff: not knowing just how tough an opponent was. You had either to trust your guts or to learn the hard way how strong the zombies (or humans) were, and adding direct info on them like that is... erf, in my opinion.
Don't forget that they worked with David Belle, the father of parkour, to get the parkour experience as close to reality as they could, and now of course they did the same for the sequel and there's a character model based on him, which is pretty cool, so they really put a lot of effort and love in this concept! truly a hidden gem
The parkour is just so fluent. Especially with the grapple hook. You’re a Batman zombie assassin.
It was pathetic. Parkour just was lame. Made for the console peasants to make it look "cool".
@@MightBeSmart" look at me I'll look cool if i hate on a good game " 🤡
@@dhillxn.11 I'm happy you liked it. Just accept some people has different tastes than you. And i didn't hate the game 🤦, the game imo was okay but not more than that.
@@MightBeSmart Be an a-hole is not an opinion, though. You could've made that comment without shitting on console players. I am a PC player, by the way. Your comment is the only pathetic thing here.
@@MightBeSmart look at me, i hate console players... poor guy
The gameplay is just on another level, nothing compares to it. The flow of movement, climbing, and the slow mo gore is amazing
As good as it is, they need to remove that god awful RPG damage system and go closer to realism.
@@wiertech9 I agree, the game didn’t need a loot tier system at all
Yeah and you'll see how far they went with the gore when you have a modded weapon that one taps all zombies. It's impressive.
@@wiertech9
And also stainless steel / cast iron weapons that break in 3 hits. Are they ROCK ZOMBIES?
@@wiertech9 fuck realism
Oh man this game was sooo dope. Parkour was amazing. Weapons felt impactful. Loved getting “ magic”weapons through crafting mechanics. Flaming sword for the win. They added grappling. Which was so good. Judo throws were the best. Setting up enemies to fall into your drop kick or arrow shots... so good. Loved that sound drew them out too
I remember playing this with my brother years ago, we just started another play through. The thing I love the most is how you aren't forced to always fight zombies unless it's actually necessary because of the parkour and movement. Really nice game and awesome video!
That first night always terrifies me. It's utterly terrifying... Because up to that point, they lock it in the day, they let you get used to it. Then you go to that area to get the antizin, and as you're watching the cutscene, it grows dark, you get a good look at your first volatile...and then one gets a good look at you, and you find yourself suddenly tossed into a heart thumping run for your life, trying to avoid the volatiles until you can give them the slip, and then you have to sneak back to the tower before they'll cycle back to daytime. Getting back to the tower without dying is nerve racking, you skulk around, try not to use your flashlight, and avoid going anywhere near the volatiles that pop up in your survivor sense.
I mean that mission is so well done and that's how you should let your players know that the training wheels are off now, welcome to *Dying Light* with the lights literally dying around you....
I know right i once spent like 10 min hiding in a cabinet at night, too scared to come out due to two volatiles patrolling 😟😟😟
Wait, using your flashlight actually attracts them? Damn.
@@manifeelweird4926 yeah, u need to turn ur light off when they are around and be sneaky XD
@@manifeelweird4926 well, survivor sense kinda works like a flashlight. Just spamming it......
Holy cow now i remember how scary that is 🤣
Playing in the dark, on a roof , and it's raining is the most immersed I have ever felt in a game.
yup
the most immersive game
I have an experience like that too, it was old city, a rainy night and I was on a roof hiding while seeing a horde of volatiles and runners obliterate a group of Rais mens on a closed plaza inside some buildings, one of my favourite gamming memories of all time.
@@Muchacho2DMax nah bro that goes to saints and sinners
Linus I mean it’s hard to compete with VR in game immersion Lol, kinda unfair.
There is no other game, when spotted at night, that makes you feel like "oh sh**! oh sh** oh sh**!" and running like a mad man for dear life, it's truly a unique experience.
I'm playing through the first Dying Light right now after it was given away for free on Epic Games Store. I wasn't really expecting much and installed it on a whim, but I sure am glad I did. It ticks all the right boxes that make for a fun video game. The story is pretty campy but it actually works as it leans into it well and lets the gameplay be the main driver. It hearkens back to some of those second wave zombie movies like the Dawn of the Dead remake and 28 Days Later: the intensity of the horror of being in a zombie apocalypse. The exact details of the story may not be that memorable, but I bet you'll never forget that opening scene of Dawn of the Dead.
I should have received Dying Light for free being the biggest loser on the DayZ cashgrab spinoff Vigor just because Epic Games appears on Bohemia's loading screen. But at a mere $10 on sale for the Definitive Edition with 4 DLCs and all 22 add-ons, at least I'll have one less thing to gripe about 🖖
I played countless hours with this, even after finishing the story, until I knew every corner and building, and tried all weapons. I cannot get bored with it. It's perfection. Also, I have never encontered a bug. Ever.
It was actually a game that was 100% finished, not downgraded and WORKED PERFECTLY!!!
It was kinda buggy at launch but this game hooked me instantly when I first played it in 2015
@@istealpopularnamesforlikes3340
Played it in 2018
Awesome
@Ladon Beats On what aspect? What games do you play? Cod?
It wasn't a 100% tho, still one of the best games I've ever played
Not just that... they even released patch that lowered specs requirement.
The running in the dark was definitely the most tense thing for me in the game
Nice profile pic.
@@the_black_fox9136 Hell yeah, Skyrim gang. The new Elder Scrolls game going to be delayed so many times as well. I know it.
The camera sway and fov change when you are higher up is what makes it feel so real. The uneasy feeling you get from looking down on top of a tall building is purely caused by the genius cinematic effects they added when you're in a high area. The only other time I've ever felt like I could actually fall and die while playing a game is when I was playing super hot for vr. They really killed it with the level of detail they went with this to make it so immersive.
Edit: Btw dying light has been my favorite game since I first played it and it still is. I have never had more fun playing a game. Playing dying light with my homies for the first time was such a great experience, and it really makes me hopeful for future video games in general. The fact a fairly unknown company at the time released a masterpiece like this gives me hope that indi isn't dead and that we will still have games made by people who are actually passionate about games in the future.
This was the first game i ever played where my fear of heights was actually triggered and since then it's been in my too 5 favorite games.
The first thing I remember climbing was the safehouse tower and I was literally tensing up with the wind picking up speed lol
The adrenaline I’d get when seeing the night approach the first few times were TERRIFYING. Oml
Yes.
Love this game. So underrated. I remember that first mission when I go out at night and one of those night creatures chased me. It was one of the first times where I felt genuine panic in a game. I didn’t know the map at this stage because it’s early in the game and I was running blindly in a blind panic, just vaulting and climbing anything in my way whilst this night zombie is screeching and grunting behind me. All whilst I didn’t have a clue which direction I needed to go in. One gaming moment I’ll never forget.
I remember playing the demo before buying the game, and was already addicted to just the demo. Every time when night falls, I’d shit my pants trying to run to a safer place, and when I couldn’t, I just hid like a lil bitch
@@ttime441

And Im hooked to play it again but in nightmare difficulty
I wanna see how hard the story mode in nightmare difficult plus with the following
also the zombie are made out sponge....
been playing this game since 2015! haha. and still playing it from time to time. My fave game ever ❤️
They're still adding content. They just fully tweaked the hellraid mode, adding a new enemy, better lighting, i think new weapons, and a new introductory hellraid story mode. And now that they've made it possible to play in auto hdr and fps boost on series x it feels like a new gen game already. Cant even believe how old it is already.
I played this a ton on my Xbox one a few years back and due to certain situations I don't have that console anymore. I do however own a Switch and love it to pieces for my current living condition and my utter thrill at seeing this game be ported over was through the roof.
To get to my point of what you referenced, Techland not only did an incredible job at putting this game on Switch with little loss, but a day or so after release they released a patch and idk man, their dedication and passion is pretty awesome to see.
I’m not even a gamer and I highly enjoyed Dying Light and The Following! The graphics quality (climbing the first tower for example) and the pace of the game was a great experience. Looking forward to Dying Light 2!

Dying light and state of decay probably one of the best zombie games ofcourse both had different feel but it was great one touched more on the horror side the other on the survival side.
Deserves so many awards, definitely among one of the best games of this past decade
Cause Dying Light 1 was made with passion. Techland really wanted to dig deep into the Zombies genre and they found the recipe. Can’t wait for DL2!
Passion and no signs of greed the dlc was so big that it could have being a full on game if they added a little bit of stuff but no man that DLC was a huge steal.

I continue my quests and exploration at night. Just more cautious of what's around me is the only difference I put in at night. Quite thrilling yet equally terrifying
No I remember the first time it was night time the mission where we had to get the supply crate and we were chased by the night zombies that are hella dangerous that was the scariest part for me
I remembered beating this game and having such an amazing time playing it. My only gripe was the ending to the dlc. But it didn’t completely ruin the game for me thank god lol
It's a piece of art that easily enters my top 10 best games I've ever played in 21 years of life.
Definitely in my top three. Very possibly number one.
Facts
So tell me what areb the other 9 games cuz im interested :)
agreed
In 62 years of life I can say this is one of those titles I'm glad to have played - it has a place in my heart for well spent time and money.
They just released an update for Dying Light 2 like a couple of hours ago. Glad it's still happening and IS coming out this year!
Thank you. Been waiting for that to drop. Was gonna ask about it. Lol
@@scotthallinan4609 It's a short video, but still worth checking out.
@@xMiketheManx niiiice
The Easter egg plants vs zombies and Mario areas were awesome, the game also had hidden weapons like Excalibur to find in the world. I feel doing fetch quests in such a hazardous world took it up a notch adding to the parkour and that's why it was so awesome. The game also didn't rush you to get through the main story and it felt good scrounging for that extra bag of coffee In getting tier weapon from the merchant to do extra damage to zombies.
I’m still playing it 😃 Just started on “The Following”. I love it. I hope DL2 has better stealth aspect though, would be great. And maybe a quick turn button combo.
I loved the fact that in the beginning you weren't really that strong yet, and you really had to mash a zombie's brain in with a random club or something. Not just hit and punch. That was some powerful sh*t ❤
@@pettymachetex23gaminghaha! yeah exploring my darker side Haha
Why is dying light so underrated it's my favourite parkour game!
Im stil playing 😂
Zombie game**
my fav game (other than tlou, and tom clancy games)
I love this game so so much but I hate when people say it’s underrated. It’s cringe to say that and its not like it has a small playerbase. The playerbase is over 18 million people at this point. That’s definitely not massive, but if DL2 comes out correctly, then it will probably be as popular as Witcher 3
UNDERRATED??? Even now, 5 years after release, this game have 7000+ players online, and this game still have regular events. Do you want to know what is underrated game? It's Dragon's dogma: Dark arisen, Dark messiah of might and magic, Remnant from the ashes, Spec ops: The line. That's just some examples of underrated games. And Dying Light is pretty well recognised
When it comes to dying light among many, many things nothing makes me remember why I love it like following a wooden path on a roof and just jumping, not knowing where it may lead and then landing, it encapsulates my love for this game.
i got the first one on Saturday and have been playing it all weekend. i really like how at the start crane doesn't really have any parkour moves but the further you go the better he gets at it almost like hes learning from the city
Me: reads title
Also me: *BECAUSE ITS FOOKIN AMAZINNGGGG*
same dude
Didn’t expect a video like this
Yeah we all kinda just wanted another top 10 didnt we
I'm glad he's talking about this because one of the best zombie games still to this day that's really sad lol
I literally started a run back today of this games. I definitely wasn't expecting this randomness
@@brooklynbeastnycforlife I like Dying light more, but IMO Days Gone is just as good. But how is that sad?
@@liquidsword601 lol I just didn't like the story much with days gone lol I wasn't scared as dying light when its night and zombies running at you lol
I have been a huge fan of this game since early release and seeing so much good things being talked about dying light makes me so happy
At the beginning I was heavily melee but at the end of the game I usually keep one OP melee weapon and then silenced/muffled pistols and rifles. Usually I'll have 1 melee, 1 pistol, 1 rifle, and then rotate a various weapon into the 4th spot depending on the situation or if I want to experiment with some crafting.
The slow-mo look behind feature being used at night while being chased by those fast zombies terrified me lol
A game which really stays with you whenever you think about the best game experiences you've ever had.
Please talk for yourself.
its all about that gameplay loop the world hands down what made this game "so good" tbh the story was weak and the fucking fetch quests are the reason why i dont play this again for the 4th time. killing shit running around is mindless good fun but mindless also could be said for the story and thats not a good thing. i liked the plot and as a kyle im all for kyle crane but just not how stupid he is lmao. with this said tho the following story was better then the main game so they are getting better.
My moment was gta3 the first time I realised I was playing as a black dude and then realised I could cycle on a bmx.....total amazeballs.
@@barnabybot the good old holy shit a 3d gta game i remember it well. driver2 had nothing on gta3
@@barnabybot umm bruh gta 3 doesnt have a black protagonist or bmx.
Maybe u mean sanandreas?
I think the scary ness of night depends on your skill. For example when I first started the game night time was really scary now after I’ve played the game for a while even on a new save night time just isn’t as scary as I was but in dying light 2 night time feels like it’s gonna be more difficult and more scary and I’m super excited for it
Just got it and all the DLC for $10. 1440p 60fps on PS5 and it looks and plays so good for a game that came out in 2015. Having a good time so far. I wanted to try out something different. Glad I did.
Yeah, I got it for like 7 bucks on my Switch including Call of Juarez Gunslinger. I didn't realize you should run from most zombie encounters, there was a solid thirty minutes I was treating it like Left4Dead. 🤣
Game was one of the only games I’ve actually fully played through and enjoyed
Dude you have some serious commitment issues. I've played every game through that I've bought.
@@beargrylls6135 he could be busy, leave the guy alone. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.
Wait, you don't finish your games? I mean some games are time consuming and grindy but why?
I think i have only ever finished a couple games ever aswell - dying light being one of them
This is a criminally underrated game
I agree
True and that is because Techland aren't as famous as EA or Ubisoft or Blizzard...
It wasn't the first night that got me scared, I just stealthed it to a safe zone I made nearby. It was the night after when I was nowhere near a known safe zone. I was by the antenna by the bridge, didn't know about the fisherman village because I hadn't been to Rais yet to do his stuff, and then there was the bridge which I was terrified of. Sun was going down, and I felt pure panic. And when night fell, I saw three volatiles and hid in a corner for a few minutes until I got enough courage to fix the antenna to get a safe zone. Fun times
The atmosphere and immersion of DL1 is absolutely insane.
Activision needs to learn what game support really means.
bethesda, EA , ubisoft too
@@zerroukyoucef3013 bethesda really does just release a buggy broken mess of a game and goes “yep, time to abandon this”
@@FBI-sr2eg the only bad game Bethesda released in the past years is Fallout 76. Other than that their track record has been quite good🤷🏽♂️
They’ve already fucked off the modern warfare player base the moment Cold War was released which was only 1 year after mw was released. Activision are greedy twats
@@poett8875 Their games were good but they were still broken messes. The mod Community did a lot more to fix these games than Bethesda ever did.
Ok, listen, the sound design is S tier....the sound of the fucking running hybrid zombies bare feet on the concrete behind you is so so real...just amazingly scary
you’re so right. the sound track is such a sleeper hit too i think
The slapping of feet
Me and my brother played it and agreed this was and still is an amassing game, so I'm hoping 2 lives up to our expectations. I think they should expand on the grappling hook, like unlocking a skill so when throwing it at an enemy's leg they fall.
The first night time experience is probably what hooked a lot of people, and the first night time experience in Dying Light 2 has the same feeling, if not maybe a little bit less but its amazing
this was the first game that actually got my blood pumping, the first time you encounter one of them babies.... chills then terror
When you are walking at night and heard Volatiles's scream somewhere, that still gives me a chill even after i already have high levels (Btw in hard and nightmare difficulty, Volatiles and Virals don't appear on map so you can't see where they are).
Yet you can still detect them by using Survior Sense, so during the night you just keep spamming this ability. On Hard those suckers are very difficult to put down, on Nightmare the only resonable option is to run away.
@@mlkvblendzior That's why shotgun is your best friend in both difficulties, it still confuses me why there is no merchant sells ammo in hard mode yet they are available in nightmare mode, which like i said once i leveled up high Crane and acquire shotgun even volatiles aren't that threat anymore, still scary af tho since they could one-two hits KO me if i am not being careful..
@@irvancrocs1753 I prefer crossbow with impact bolts on Nightmare. Here's why - using firearms will attract Virals, and those fuckers are fast, tough, violent and highly numerous. Crossbow still provide a lot of punch without noice and can be used with camoflague.
@@mlkvblendzior Yeah i used crossbow pretty often as well and yup the most useful weapon imo especially when i played on hard mode in my first playthrough where bullets are so scarce, but when it comes to farming volatiles at night in nightmare difficulty is where i love using shotgun so much..
Camping in one site and watching those bastards come one by one then finish them off is so satisfying..
The masterful parkor and OST is what sold it for me.
I wondered if the parkor was going to be a gimick and useless, but it was PERFECT and essencial.
And the OST was so unique and recognizable. It set itself apart from other zombie game OSTs but still FELT like a zombie game OST.
Also, the progression of the parkor to the grappling hook was awesome. You mostly master the parkor before getting the grapple and it perfectly meshes with what you've already learned.
I love how the more you parkor the music builds up and when you messed up it stops, so it makes you want to keep it going as long as possible
I have put a lot of time into the game simply because there is no other like it. The amount of work the team (Techland) has continued to put into the game for their fans is mind blowing and one reason why I will always support Techland and Dying Light. They never gave up or stopped to make sure they continue to let their fans know they love them. To all the impatient, spoiled bastards out there that gave them hate comments, emails and messages ya'll don't even deserve to play Dying Light 2 when the game releases.
This game was such an underrated gem at the time of it's release, it's nice to see such praise from a mainstream channel! This game definitely gets a 10/10 from me!
I agree. Best zombie game I've ever played.
No kidding.
Alrighty.
You talked me into it.
I'll take a grain of salt and check this game out for myself.
You will not be dissapointed my friend
Wear diapers...
Man that first nighttime mission will have you soiling yourself. Such a superb experience and one I’ll never forget. The blind panic, claustrophobia inducing darkness and tight alleyways is such a good recipe.
Nice. If i have one suggestion, it's to play it with a friend. You can play up to 4. Legit it isn't the best game ever but it's definitely a really fun coop game.
Tbh play the way you want. Enjoy yourself, that's all.
Good night and good luck
You wont be disapointed man. Def buy the enhanced version with the dlc. Its worth every dime
It was just a well crafted game. Every piece from music, gameplay, and especially map level had a real attention to detail. It felt real.
Something i loved about dying light its the prefect balance between full of action and horror.
Slicing zombies limb by limb, doing does WWE moves on the zombies and also fighting them giant zombies was absolutely fun! The fighting mechanics is a bliss in this game
Yet there were moment i legit felt scared for my life, hearing the watch alarm when night was coming really got me anxious. Not to mention little sections inside buildings were everything is dark and you hear voices..
Until this day not many games are able to recreate such experience
