The same can be said of the first one.

In fact, avoiding encounters is pretty much the way to get through the game on the hardest difficulty because resources are so much more scarce.

Exactly!

I avoided as many encounters as I possibly could on Grounded Mode, which wasn’t easy to do by any means for me (looking at the hospital level at the end of the game....😭but it was an unforgettable experience.

Hopefully that means there's really good sneaking mechanics then! Love trying to sneak around a whole area to stealth kill everyone!

I hope they release a Grounded mode later on like they did with the original. I'll definitely tackle and trophy both of those.

ninsigma1851d ago

Isn't that what survivor mode is?

SyntheticForm1851d ago (Edited 1851d ago )

Grounded is a step up in difficulty from Survivor.

Enemies are stronger, you are weaker, and the HUD is removed. Checkpoints are also scarcer, and supplies further limited.

ClayRules20121851d ago

Like @Synthetic said, Grounded is a step up in difficulty. It’s a nightmare, but one that’s worth all the trouble once you see the credits roll in the end. HUD removed, stronger enemies, and a few other things really do add in the experience.

Grounded is the way to play TLOU

It's like a whole new nightmare

Jls11851d ago

That's going to make it easy

RazzerRedux1851d ago

Sure....if you just want to avoid all challenges. Might as well just save your money and watch someone play on twitch.

TheKingKratos1851d ago

The game does punish you though for doing this you lose ammunition and new weapons and resources if you avoid all the encounters in those environments

anonymousfan1851d ago

Have you ever played a good stealthy game? The option to avoid encounters is usually not at all the easiest.

phoenixwing1851d ago

I stink at stealth so going stealth only would be an insane challenge for me

I might get one in a couple years but I’m in no hurry. Nothing at launch I want to play.

PRIMORDUS14h ago

If there are no shortages then why can't we just easily order a Switch 2 online, from Best Buy, Target, Newegg, Amazon etc. No shortages means we can get it by any means, online or in store.

Maybe there’s shortages in Japan ? But they’re pretty much available lol

shinXseijuro15h ago

But hey saying that creates more hype right !

Good-Smurf1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

There isn't one in US, I saw plenty posting pictures of it many stores in still have plenty in stock.
This is just them referring to stock situation mostly in Japan.
Sounds like he low key also spreading FOMO pressuring people to go out and buy one for no good reason?
It's not exactly flying off the shelves here in Thailand though, there's basically no real hype here at all other than the fanboys lining up for it the first few days.
You can easily order one right now in Thailand from all the official authorized stores, not out of stock at all.
The price of 17800 THB or around 550 USD here for a standard SKU and high game prices probably has a lot to do with it.

Ten Years Later - Still Going Strong: Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26

Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.

It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!

But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.
