Was thinking of getting this or Elden Ring.

I enjoyed the first Dying Light. How does this game compare to the first one? I heard they took out guns? I might just spend my money on Elden Ring instead.

Look up gameplay of the game and then decide. Parkour is more improved along with combat compared to the first game. While the story is kinda meh granted the 1st game wasn't any better they introduced choices some of them actually impact the story and some don't. Characters are hard to like. Lack of new game plus. lots of bugs that can either ruin your game to the point where you have to restart all over or just wack ♥♥♥♥ with the characters.

Yeah I looked at a couple videos. Maybe I'm just losing interest in zombie games. This looks pretty boring compared to the first one. Here's hoping someone gets the zombie formula right. Elden ring it is. cheers.

Gameplay is good, the game itself has much potential. I recommend watching a YouTube video of the early game, since for some it takes two hours to complete the prologue/"tutorial". Guns missing don't really matter as there are powerful ranged alternatives.
Night in the first game is better in my biased opinion, Volatiles will only appear in certain Darkzones during the day, scripted missions, or level 3 night chases. The story is nothing special but I actually enjoyed it up to the epilogue. I found the last missions boring compared to Dying Light 1, as I felt it was too long. Also Zombies no longer stumble on each other.

This game also has plenty of bugs according to others, you can get lucky like me and only experience a couple. I will say the Ultimate Edition and the other edition(deluxe?) are supposed to be bugged.

Elden Ring will either be lightyears better than this game, or flop which seems unlikely considering that the Network Test was supposed to be great. I would suggest waiting for this game to go on sale.
In the end though you do you, if you want to play a first person parkour game get this, if you want to play an open world Fromsoft game get Elden Ring whenever. Obviously you may just want to wait and see how Elden Ring does on launch.

I've been itching for dark souls secrets and class building. So I'll probably get Elden Ring and get Dying Light 2 on sale. Dying Light 2 just doesn't make me want to play it compared to the first one for whatever reason. I think I'm just bored of the zombie genre.

My ideal zombie game is similar to Dying Light 1 but as a mmorpg and a bit more fantasy involved.

Elden Ring.

Dying Light 2 is a good game but best to wait it out for more updates and get it in a sale.

[O_o]

complete different games.

For many games, New Game+ came a few months after release. I do not know why this has not occurred to anyone yet.

[Mon A'mour]

I suggest you to get elder ring

[nabbed]

Definitely get Elden Ring first. This game needs another year of development and bug fixes.

[PocketYoda]

Ignore both and Get God of War.

[Tr0w]

Between this and Elden Ring? Elden Ring no contest.
If you haven't played God of War or Days Gone yet though i'd go with either of those over DL2 as well.

Even Horizon Zero Dawn is better.

Elden ring is full of stuttering, wait for it to be fixed.

I will be playing Elden Ring on consoles because they are usually more optimised compared to PC.

[RatBoggles]

Get whatever you want. Elden ring is a little too nerdshit for my tastes, but it probably is off to a better start. I'd probably go with elden..
