In the crowded Zombie Genre can Dying Light shine through the Darkness? AngryJoe gives the game a Final Verdict. *Light Out of Context Spoilers* because I just needed to talk about the weak final levels.
It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?
For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.
LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’
Techland is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dying Light with updates and events for both games. The new The Beast game comes out soon.
It got a lot of shit from fans more not being as scary at night on release. I was in that boat. But once I gave it a fair shot I really loved it. The movement was so much more expressive to me. I enjoyed the story too.... for the most part. Was my game of the year when it came out. With all the updates for darker nights and all that, it's even better. I feel almost exactly the same about stalker 2 right now. The erojank games are scratching my itch.
The Steam Winter Sale is now live, and here are the best Steam Deck games you can get for under $5 right now.
Who did approve that review? Final Verdict is 7/10 !
Is he really knocking zombie games when he plays yearly bi shooters? This is the lowest ranking Dying Light review too. Even the German liked it. Also Joe loved DA:I which is one big fetch-quest simulator (currently playing it don't know if It'll change later). He also mentioned lack of innovation and a great story but then again he praised Inquisition. Game's okay but it seems like Joe is just bias towards certain games/companies now. Eh. Also it is 7/10 no 6/10.
Can't take this guy seriously any longer, wtf happened to his facial hair!
Wait, haha scrap that it's a random preview snap from the video lmao.
I haven't played it but I didn't like Call of Juarez very much and I felt that Dead Island looked like every teen movie cliche.
They just seem to lack that last bit of polish and whilst that might not necessarily be true about Dying Light, if I do ever get the game I expect it to be more about the mechanics than the soul of the game. I think there's something about Techland that means that they're good at making 'arcade-type' adventure games that are derivative of a currently popular genre but not going beyond that.
