Dl1 or DL2

[kazel90]

bought both, i noticed that more player playin part 1. might i ask why?

Aside from which game is better, more fun to play, has more content, etc., the main reason is because Dying Light 1 is far cheaper, so more people will buy it and play it. It was recently only €2, compared to DL2's often €30-60.

[kazel90]

and are there some reasons beside the price?

Dying Light 1 was an instant success, whilst Dying Light 2 was an utter mess at launch. Dying Light 1 has an amazing atmosphere and soundtrack, whilst Dying Light 2 lacks any atmosphere at all and has a far more plain, less iconic soundtrack. Dying Light 1 is way more fun to actually play, whilst Dying Light 2 can feel like a slog to play. Dying Light 1 feels like an action/survival-horror game, whilst Dying Light 2 feels like a action/rpg game. Dying Light 2 also promised almost hundreds of things that weren't in the game at launch, and still aren't (ffs they even promised CARS at one point on discord, does no one remember that?). Dying Light 2 also fired their main writer because of false (and as such, later dis-proven) allegations, because of which the story became an utter train wreck. They also added a micro-transaction store into the game post-launch. Lots of despicable behavior on Techland's part, which in my opinion means you should avoid DL2 out of principle alone. Dying Light 1 had nothing of this sort and is still a gem.

Personally, I'd avoid Dying Light 2, even if there is mostly mediocre brainless fun to be had, and get the absolute classic that is Dying Light 1. Most people seem to think this way.

None. Both are a waste of your cash. Techland lacks competence to properly fix their games, even 8 years after release.

dying light 1 is more easier to run btw

Dying light 1 is a masterpiece and many peoples favorite zombie game. Crafted with care and attention to detail. Dying light 2 was a cash grab that stripped away alot of the detail in favor of gimmicks

DL 1 is better in just about every way. The story, the parkour, the combat, the skills, The following (buggies are great). DL2 story is worse, the game play is worse (not as much sneaking around at night). the parkour lost some moves and is worse. the combat they tried to make it too much parkour combat where you have to roll over enemies to do the next kick or what not.

DL 1 is just so much better.

Dying Light 2 went through "development-chaos" and thus at launch was inferior in every way. Techland has done alot to improve the second game, but in my opinion it hasn't been enough, which renders the sequel at least to me as a souless husk.

Also Techland just cancelled the second dlc for Dying Light 2 and are instead making it a standalone game, so whatever character progress you grind out in the second game doesn't transfer further disincentivizing playtime through already mediocre content.

DL1 is superior in almost every aspect. Gameplay, map layout, game loop, mechanics, controls, animations, content, etc. Not a subjective opinion based on nostalgia or anything. It's facts. DL2 maybe has better graphics, but some will even argue that.

I gave DL2 a second chance after quitting just 2 hours into it on launch. This time I managed to get to the point where the game finally opens and the game loop sets. After a few hours, it is clear DL2 is just a shadow of its predecessor. Feels like a clone that is trying too hard to be Dying Light. It's just... boring.

Reinstalled DL1 and I can confirm it wasn't nostalgia goggles. The first game is objectively superior.

It's like a Terminator 1 vs 2, DL2 more pop-grind culture, with super parkour and fighting and ... that's all, after 2/3 game everything is boring and repeatative. DL1 is more horor survival with great atmosphere, I don't want to play DL2 after ending, but I play somethimes DL1 and to this day, 1st time play on PS4, than on PC, than again on PS4 The Following (one of the most greatest DLC in the game industry ever)
