hey thats me
you dont get rich spending money on shit you dont need to
also
>that nfo bashing Stray lovers
*laughs with a fat wallet because didn't spend money buying games*
imagine being proud of spending money on bad games
I didn't make the topic, moron. Imagine wasting time on bad games and making a thread about how you stole it. Couldn't be me.
no anon, im $60 richer
Is it worth downloading? Is it anything like the first game?
dunno havent played either, im just hoping it runs ok on medium on my 2600/rx 580 8gb
Its very close to the first game but every mechanic feels worse.
It's like going from Battlefield 4 to 2042.
Is it worth pirating though?
no it is shit
mediocre game but grats on dodging paying for it like i did. they should've just released another expansion for the first game because this one was a straight categorical downgrade in every category but the layered/dynamic music system they made for 2. series is dead now because nobody in their right mind would buy a part 3 after they shit the bed this hard.
What did they butcher from the first one?
everything just went down a notch in quality across the board:
ZOMBIES & COMBAT
-zombie ragdoll physics broken; they don't tumble over or trip over obstacles and each other anymore. they also go totally stiff and fall vertically in a standing position like wile e. coyote when you kick them off buildings
-zombies all look like largely identical brown/gray homeless people. no height/civilian clothing/movement speed/mutilation level (spawning with one arm for example) variation as in DL1. they also can't use or throw blunt objects at you anymore.
-zombie aggro radius, population density, and sound reactivity DRASTICALLY reduced, leading to almost never being attacked by crowds and eliminating any need to move/kill silently
-weapons don't hit stop or feel different from one another. a sword swings like an axe swings like a machete. this makes it so the few times more than 3 zombies miraculously gather in one place, you effortlessly cleave through them with a one handed weapon.
-x-ray and slow-mo kills were removed and blunt weapons like bats traded their hard hitstop crunches for cartoon repulsor bat qualities. think the brute hammer from halo 2 and 3. can no longer dismember zombies piece by piece or break their bones.
EXPLORATION AND MOVEMENT
-the glider is okay, if a little awkward to use. the problem is they make you play 1/4 of the game before you get it.
-lower run speed and floaty jumps compared to the first game. there are mods to fix this but the baseline gravity physics are set something like 3 times lower than DL1.
-diverse quarantine zone "dungeons" from DL1 replaced with identical hospital buildings that you progress through the same way each time.
-extremely toned down environmental story telling. this one is sneaky but you realize it after playing awhile. no more broken down doors, blood trails, children's toys telling a story of what happened in random apartments. everything is equally dilapidated.
STORY AND CHARACTERS
-yes, somehow worse than part 1. instead of cardboard cutouts and joke characters, you just have the cardboard cutouts in DL2. game is almost universally humorless and isn't telling a gripping or serious story in exchange
-the entire plot is based around a macguffin sister that you never get to actually meet and that dies off screen during the credits of EVERY ENDING anyway!!!
-the zombie disease was completely retconned. they called it a "new strain" which is a lazy way of saying it doesn't work at all how it used to. no more antizin - just standing next to a UV light completely halts the spread of the disease now and standing in the dark turns you - UNLESS the plot decides that would be inconvenient. and the plot decides this almost immediately in the beginning of the game, and never stops randomly changing its mind on how it works.
-zombie serum turns you into a literal super hero (think captain america) without any degradation or being dead or anything zombie like at all because... reasons. i'm talking hand laser ki blasts and everything. full DBZ.
-just so much more but i'm tired of typing honestly
>just standing next to a UV light completely halts the spread of the disease now and standing in the dark turns you - UNLESS the plot decides that would be inconvenient.
there's stupid writing, and then there's STUPID writing
the first game is already has simple enough premise. how much did "branch out storyline" they promised that were cut?
It’s literally non existent. There aren’t any meaningful choices at all besides the very end where it’s the cliche fallout 4 “save your sister or nuke the city”
Even if you choose to save your sister she dies anyway kek
All endings have your character just fricking off into the sunset and leaving the city
never played the 1 games dlc is it good?
Yeah it’s fantastic. Different from the base game in the best way while keeping things fresh
probably the best dlc I've ever played since Undead Nightmare
except the ending
definitely. i would've added 'no vehicles' to my complaint review of DL2 above if i didn't run out of text lol. hilarious that their first promo for the game showed the player character jumping onto a moving vehicle - NO moving vehicles in DL2. that buggy from DL1's the following dlc was fun as frick and feels better to drive than other first person games like the far cry series or cyberpunk. scavenging gasoline from cars for the buggy really added a nice (very light) survival sort of feel, too.
lol he literally got cracked KEK
sweet schizo nfo
Shit game though, I refunded it, but will probably pirate it again once they patch all the bugs or there are mods to make it more like the first game.
Is the first game cracked? I feel like it isnt.
it's on gog
Why would you even want to? It's worse than the first game in so many ways that I can't believe it was made by the same devs.
so i can say i've played it, on my weekly pissup with the lads where we talk shop
will probably delete within 1 hour like most games
Why even bother playing games at that point?
No one cares about your opinion on a game if you havent played it, and generally im just curious. I do have some games I love and play constantly but most are garbage so into the bin they go; even though they were free, my time is worth more.
>>so i can say i've played it,
Just watch 5 minutes of footage, that's as good as playing it. I saw the intro on a youtube video or something, it looked like absolute pure garbage, and I lost whatever tiny iota of interest I may have had after they fired the lead writer or whatever it was halfway through development.
You don't need to play modern games to have an opinion on them. They all play the same, they all look the same, they're all fricking dogshit. Play one of these bland openworld ubishit titles and you've played them all, I played Farcry 3(?) for about an hour or two and gave up on it. Dying Light 1 was fairly boring to play and I honestly don't even know why I finished it.
all fair points, still gonna pirate though and give it a try for myself
videos arent quite the same, i want to experience for myself how the weapons and shit feel
not like it costs anything, and publisher/steam if anything is saved the inconvenience of a refund
>Just watch it instead of playing it
Modern Ganker
You can literally tell with 5 minutes of gameplay footage if a game has any value at all. Then you can play it if you want, but you sure as shit wouldn't be doing that for a game like DL2 unless you're mentally ill.
ok zoomer
Don't worry kid, one day, when you've played over 20 games, you'll be able to magically tell if a player is doing something in a game, or it's an "interactive" cutscene.
You couldn't pay me to play that piece of shit
enjoy pirate bros. the game is worse then the first but still very enjoyable.
Could've updated Warhammer 2 or Code Vein instead of this. Won't even consider pirating.
>hp bars
>mini bosses
>toned down gore by 100% almost
nah
I can't believe i lived long enough to see game physics get worse, not better than what previous generations could do (despite computers having a frickton more power from a decade ago in both cpu/gpu).
gotta leave some headroom for shituvo
I dont think its a denuvo problem even, but just the skill/talent/passion of those who are making games these days. Gone are the days of obsessive nerds making cool shit to impress their peers, instead its just a "job" where you get screamed at for not producing generic bullshit simulator fast enough.
pretty much how everything goes and will continue to go
>product has soul
>management cracks down
>hires pajeets
>everything is about being formulaic and easy to shit out
>product has no soul
please show bob
im nearly 40, glad i will be dead within probably 20 years and feel bad for zoomzooms who never got to experience the peak of soul like 80s to early 2000s.
This exact scenario in the aviation industry and it killed a bunch of people. I don’t want to fly anymore because I don’t trust poojeet software and God didn’t give us wings for a reason
checked
>poojeet
not gonna be reddit and say i spat my drink out, but this made me happy and i would have in the event that i was drinking something at the time
wait, are you guys saying corporations aren't our friends and have been systematically outsourcing everything good in the world for more shekels all these years? but.. but they're people! like you and me!
Always the higher ups wanting more and more money
Frick this industry
it's every industry
you just feel it more when artistic expression is involved
imagine the world in 100 years, it will be just like you see in the movies
>Here sir, as you requested. A cheeseburger, no pickel.
>No qt pie 3.14 serving you and making you feel nervous
im high, first line of the greentext is meant to be a robot
>makes melee combat utter fricking garbage compared to DL1
>removes guns
>damage sponge tank zombies and humans
This is an accurate euro twink simulator since the combat has the same weight and damage as swinging a pool noodle. Also no guns because even apocalypse Europe is cucked
>no guns
Literally the only thing that made the first game tolerable, what's wrong with them?
They reference that Europe is cucked and had no guns to begin with. Then the army came and confiscated what little guns were in the city anyway.
Then the excuse they give is the general hoards all the guns somewhere and fricking hides them instead of using them to kill zombies kek.
Later he dies and his gun vault remains sealed forever. This is all explained in a boring side quest where you kill 5 zombies in front of a history monument to hear their awful contextual excuse for not including guns in the game
Yeah they made the world bigger but the gameplay worse
they nerfed gore
they nerfed nights because people got too scared
removed guns
limb damage does jack shit
gigantic boss hp bars
sponge enemies
it's a shitty first person Fallout game, and we all know how shit Fallout games are, now if they made it a third person Fallout clone I would have gave it a chance, but first person rpgs put me to fricking sleep
I replayed the first game instead
many WHY did they frick this game up so much? DL1 was perfect as is, shit story but gameplay and atmosphere was good
>playing DL2
No one wins
Can i play coop on a cracked copy?
more like rip pirate chads cause this game fricking sucks my wiener.
>everyone here is shitting on it
oh boy, i cant wait for my shitty internet to finish downloading this game. It's shaping up to be an A+
>decide to try modern Ganker
>taking comments such as "just watch it bruh" as ironic or sarcastic
>browse more modern Ganker
>they mean it and they seriously watch playthroughs instead of playing the game themselves
>literally getting in communities of the games they watch to make friends without ever touching gaming hardware
big yikeronis with cheese
i'm a millenial and i unironically do this for movie games every now and then. i agree with the thrust of what you're saying 100%, but i'll be damned if i'm going to buy a playstation and pay for """games""" just to get the exact same experience of sitting down and watching a movie. i watched nuGoW and TLOU2 this way. i can't understand watching DL2 because the plot is physically uncomfortably bad to sit through even when you have the tactile experience of playing it to look forward to after the characters stop talking.
