Been playing the shit outta this between bouts of Hearthstone and a hodge podge of other games. It's actually pretty damn good. I kept avoiding it because the cover made me think it was some absolutely terrifying game like Evil Within or something else like that. Don't have a lot to add except that it's worth playing for a zombie game. I'll report back if i gain any new insights.

Its one of those games where you are depressed at the end because there is no more game to play.

I'm gunna have to check it out now. I avoided it at first because of the flood of zombie and survival games in the last few years, but after watching some videos and reading some reviews it looks like they did this one right.

You'll like it. It's a breath of fresh air in comparison to most zombie survival games.. other than TLOU anyways

I heard Dead Island had quite a bit of those so called weak parts.. and some really buggy shit, haven't noticed much of any issues with Dying Light. Though I can't compare it to Dead Island since I lost interest in that fairly quickly. Don't remember why.

I had a lot of fun playing dead island, but I never really played it solo. My co-worker and I both played the 360 version and would co-op through the entire game after work. I can easily see though that, at least for me, I would have never gotten all the way through the game if I was just playing solo. Co-op in games is a lot of fun and I wish more games embraced it, and embraced it well.
I forgot to check steam when I got home from work this morning to see what the game is going for. Probably have to wait until my next check before I can buy anything tho, rent murdered my entire paycheck this time aorund. booooooo responsibilities, boooooooo

Yeah thats exactly what I read about it. The dev's said this game was basically all the things they wanted to do with dead island but didn't or couldnt or got wrong in dead island. This is a proper SURVIVAL game where as dead island is more crazy run n gun, grab n bash, action game.

I just dled it since it was a simple no fuss installer. Had to try two different ones since the first one was straight garbage though. I normally just buy my games but I'm poor too

Dying Light was really fun while it lasted.
The mechanics of climbing buildings and doing all the parkour is extremely smooth. Its actually a very well made game. The only thing is its like any other single player based game, once you finish the story there is nothing else to do.
Playing with friends to do story mode was fun though. There is a way to duplicate items on PS4 unless they patched it, it was available when the game first came out. My friends and I duped so much shit, it made us invincible pretty much.

Dying light might be for you then.
I sold it to buy another game but I kept the content on my PS4 incase I ever buy it again.

Did anyone else feel like it had the feeling of an 80's action movie? Along the lines of Escape from New York?

Yeah, the use of the synth keyboards is what did it for me. After you get used to staying out at night its no big deal and you get MAD experience points for staying out and hunting. The Cthulhu faced ones were a bitch to kill though

Yeah and it was always a rush to sprint full blast through the dark, drop kicking zombies, smashing skulls, leaping off rooftops blazing your guns.... Fuck I'm gonna have to play again

Yeah I'm specifically looking to get this FOR the co-op play. My co-worker and I game together a lot since we both work graveyard shift, but sometimes its hard for us to find a game that both of us really dig and can play together. We used to just play 360 games together over live but back when I built my gaming PC I talked him into building one too, but things have not lined up as well for us since then so I think this game will be great to runa round and smash zombie head in.
As long as its NOT like dead island I'll be happy. There are soooooo maaaannny daaaamn zzoommbbiiee gammmess out and sooo maaannny surrivviaall gaaameess that I dont want to waste the caash if its like every other one, but reviews and you guys all say otherwise so looking foward to it. Probably pick it up next check.
fucxking still 60 bucks on steam. heeebus jeeebus

The "cracked" version doesn't allow saving. I played it for a few hours and then caved in and bought it Its a lot like Dead Island, but the zombies aren't really the main focus of the game, the parkour is. It's not just pointless wading into masses (although you can do that if its your thing), there is a lot of exploration that goes into it. Watch some videos and if it looks like you'd enjoy it, you probably will.
Also for co-op: Monaco - You and your team steal things. Top down perspective arcade style Hammerwatch: Old school top down dungeon crawler Foul Play: Streets of rage style side-scroller Skulltag - Get all of the original ID software shooters and play multiplayer. FREE Risk of Rain: Side Scroller arena combat vs alien hordes The ORIGINAL Alien Vs Predator - Team up and fend off an endless horde of aliens

Well I would definately be buying it. I dont really pirate games anymore just because its almost more work then its worth most of the time. Especially now with places picking up good return policies so if something really sucks, I can get my money back.
And when I say 'not like dead island' its not that I hated dead island, coworker and I had a lot of fun playing it, but it was just nothing special really, and pretty easy at that. Dying light looks like how you said, its not as much about the zombies as it is the exploration and parkour shit.
I've watched quite a few videos and some of them look damn amazing and fun. Especiallly with the parkour in first person. I always feel so much more immersed in a game when they use first instead of third person view and doing some epic wall running leading into a double jump kick or a first base slide up into a zombie.

I feel like its the closest thing we'll ever get to seeing a Mirror's Edge 2
Its a great game, combat isn't so much that drunken wild swinging, and as you develop your skill tree you learn new maneuvers to get past the undead. By the end of the game they are more speed bumps than enemies

Mirrors Edge 2 is in the works. Apparently there isn't going to be any weapons in it at all, unlike the first one where weapons were just rare.
Or was it no combat at all. Now I cant remember but there was a few articles aobut it a few months back on pcgamer.com

my GF was watching radbrad's play through on youtube I don't normally watch play throughs but it got me hooked and DL was one of the first games I picked up for my PS4
I really liked how in the beginning there was a real sense of urgency to get to a safe point before dark. then you start making small excursions in the dark but staying near safety. then finally you're like fuck it!!!! I'm staying out all night!!!!

Cool. It will be a week or two before I can buy it. Rent murdered my poor innocent paycheck this week, but next check has my double time and a half from working on the 4th.

Do you think you'll be able to play it with me since you have the pirated version? My experience has always been that when you pirate a game it makes it damn hard to have the latest patches and what not, and multiplayer tends not to work real quick like.
Or are you planning on buying it?

When you buy it, let me know. I'll purchase it right away. I see what you mean about patches and multiplayer stuffs. I was able to get a good updated version that runs well but I highly doubt that would stem towards multiplayer since gamemakers (rightfully so) make it difficult as fuck so they can get their $$
