This game looks like it might be fun.

Is there base building or anything like that in this game, ie fortifying a building you find or such, or is the game simply action adventure. Ie.. run arond kill zombies and search for stuff along the way.

Once you "clear" an area do zombies come back?

I read a review that the game is a "sandbox," but that has many different definitions.

1. In the first games you cleared structures to establish save zone where you could save the game and wait out the night (very dangerous zombies come out at night) in the second one they imrpoved on this you can establish safe zones and assign some structures to defferent groups for special bonuses and faction rep.

2. They return only safe zones are truly safe.

3. Dunno

4. I only played dying light with one friend but the singleplayer mode is fun and its even more fun with a friend

That early access reviewer says "I'm not sure if Avellone's work is still embedded into the game. If it's not, you can definitely tell that [Techland] took inspiration from it" and that it plays like an RPG reminiscent of New Vegas.

I just want to kill zombies and fight monsters with bros.

Yea, that's all this game needs to be; sandbox parkour and dropkicking zombies off skyscrapers.

Aiden is such a douchy name. Sorry all Aiden Codexers out there.

Glad I picked this up before the reviews started coming out for almost half price. Sometimes the gamble pays off. Keys spiked up ten or twelve dollars since I last checked 2-3 days ago. Wonder how much his complaints with the parkour system is answered by the progression system. Either way, they'll be updating the game for five years so if it comes out with minor issues they have a good track record of fixing and improving stuff.

Excellent post-launch support = shitting out countless garbage "DLCs" with new items while not actually improving the game in any substantial way despite many issues

The actual expansion the following was good and added new mechanics, Bozak horde dlc was very good for co op gameplay same with the free prison heist dlc rest was new items and outits for retards I never needed those. You can get all the worthwhile dlc if you buy Dying light enhanced edition.

Do people actually care about these weird thematic developer interviews? Just show us gameplay.

Or better yet, release a demo.

Don't think anyone will defend the numerous stupid cosmetic shit like the astronaut DLC but the overwhelming majority of additions were free and added new modes, new maps, a whole bunch of events, some of the best mod support in recent years and reworked systems like parkour and the combat.

Here's some PS5 footage showcasing the different modes.
Quality mode with ray tracing
Resolution Mode (4K)
Performance mode (60 FPS+)

Apparently it has a lot of C&C and good writing. Also leaning heavily on RPG elements. I'll just leave this here. Should watch/listen to it. Pretty good. Not a fan of the chick but I'm more interested in the gameplay info.

This guy has a side quest and quite a bit of gameplay. Exclusive early showoff but apparently also a build that lacks bug fixes and polish of the release. Looks a lot like the first one but a bit more floaty to me. I'm sure I'll play it at some point.

I am here today to point out the obvious. The hype for this game seems to be incredibly low. Even though I'm personally interested.

Because of Cyberpunk. I don't want to see any promotional materials, I don't care. I can't be disappointed if I did not watch them. But I can be pleasantly surprised if the reviews after first month are good.

Fuck CDPR.

I thought the first game was relatively fun the whole way through and it never even occurred to me that I might not want to play the sequel. I don't give a shit who did or didn't write the game (avellone is a tedious hack, paraphrasing a wikipedia page about a concept you remember from your gen-ed philosophy course is not "writing") or how messy the development was, the gameplay trailers look like essentially the same game and there's no reason to assume I won't enjoy this one.

Looks like the first ten minutes of the game. Hope you can return to this area later, it looks nice.


Also they put out a roadmap last night.

If you preorder a game, any game, in a world where Cyberpunk exists, you deserve to get shit. Just saying.

Codex, of all places, should be a place where people don't fall for cheap marketing. "Good C&C" lol, like any game in the last decade had done it well.

What if you go along with something willingly, is that the same as " falling for it " ?

I paid $32 and it's completely refundable within 14 days of delivery marked on the account as long as I don't view the key. Enjoy paying $60 + tax because the 'never pre-order' mentality though.
How much did you pay?
$32
