The original (PC edition) had mods which fix those issues, so might look into if they are available for the sequel as well.

This game worth boning? It’s almost 50% discount. I never liked and finished the first one.
Reason was constant weapon breakage and constant need to hunt for materials to the point where it became an arbitrary box opening simulator.

It's worse than 1 in a few key areas imo. But thought DL2 was still okay/good, while DL1 is great.

The main reason you might like 2 over 1 is if you hated the night dynamic in 1, which they have changed significantly by removing volatiles that hang around and adding some other types with a tiered chase system. I much prefer the night in DL1.

Also the repair system in DL2 is worse by far, asyou can only repair weapons like 3 times by applying upgrades, which sucks. DL2 has more box opening than 1, probably.

If you didn't like DL1 then I'd only recommend you bone at 70 or 80% off.

Its only at the start. As the game moves on, and probably by half way through the game, you no longer need to keep changing weapons, and can probably find or make some bad ass weapon you'll keep for the rest of the game.

So 10 hours in a 20 hour game. Will still pass. Thanks for input. :up:

Its less and less as the game goes, only the first couple hours do you really have to do anything with it, after that its as annoying as pressing a single button once every half hour. It's a really insignificant part of the game to hate the game fore. Especially when the game is excellent.

This isn't really true. If you space out the upgrades they can last a while but you're making it sound like one weapon will last from about halfway until the end.

Just let KAC do without. He'll survive.
 
Decided to fire this up and see what it looked like in person. Everything maxed with DLSS 2.4.3 and DLSS quality, seems like the visuals blur during movement. Not sure if this is expected or what?


EDIT: Actually I think this is just a combination of motion blur 100% and distance blur effect...derp.....



Carry on

Was about to tell you to turn off motion blur crap. I always do that in FPS games.
 
Patch


Welcome to the first Dying Light 2 Stay Human Chapter, Pilgrim! Assist Harper, a Nightrunner of old, in his efforts to combat the Special Infected that are endangering the people of The City in exchange for access to never-before-seen equipment.

Features:

Chapter Agent — meet Harper, a former Nightrunner that acts as your link to the new features. Find him at the Fish Eye Canteen and assist him in taking down the Infected.
New Rank System — discover a system that strengthens the bond between you and the agent by carrying out his tasks.
Daily and Weekly Bounties — face the Infected head-on in a series of daily and weekly night activities that will earn you reputation points upon completion.
Unlockables — with enough reputation points, you can rank up to unlock access to high-end weapons, outfits, and consumables.
2 New Currencies — to purchase these new items, you will first need to collect mutation samples off of the corpses of the Special Infected and acquire unique Harper’s Tokens with each new rank.
New Enemies — meet the deadly and fierce Mutated Infected, the Volatile Tyrant, and the Volatile Hive.
Chapter Mission — in this mission, you will have to endure time trials that will test your stealth, parkour, and combat skills to the limit.


Photo Mode

Due to popular demand, we’ve decided to implement a Photo Mode! This feature will be available in single-player game mode, and you will be able to launch it in most situations. Still, due to the complex parkour mechanics, it might be unavailable in some action sequences or poses.

Features:

Multiple camera manipulation options, including aperture, focus distance, zoom, and roll, will help you create dynamic screenshots.
Color adjustments such as temperature, exposure, saturation, contrast, and vignette, with the addition of filters, will make each photo just beaming with climate and style.
Special Effects will allow you to create unique sequences straight from the action movies.

:) . The issue I have is the game sometimes isn't great for allowing you to transition from one place to another while climbing. Miss the box and you fall and have to start over again.

I will admit I don't like game mechanics that simply don't respect the player's time. That issue is a thing for sure in gaming.

Missions like the one you're talking about usually only take a few tries though. Its very rare to see a game put in a timed mission that takes an insane amount of repeated attempts and trial and error. For the most part in mainstream games they design it to give you plenty of time to complete it once you learn what to do.
