What do you think about the game's story?

[Uhtred son of Uhtred]

It's the worst part of the game for me, really awful and I couldn't finish it because of that. Really a shame

It has flaws and that can't be denied. If we would've gotten E3, I'm sure the story would've been a lot better, but since things happened and tons of work was scrapped, it is literally a rushed product, and since it's rushed, it will always have different opinion to why it's bad, and why it's meh. If you can get past the whole idea of the story being trash, then you might find fun it the game, but people will have settled for not playing because they were heavily disappointed. Can't blame them, but it's preference.

Had some of the most fun with Dying Light 2 with a friend in Co-Op and game-play wise it's a blast and laughed over an over on doing certain things but when it came to the story... usually with other players I'm fine if the story is a little bland and boring but this just felt like a slog even with others, wasn't a fan of the story really at all but it does have its big moments that are still quite good but in comparison to the first game it's lower on the list for me.

Guess as a sequel like the first the story just exists.

[Lohr1041]

It has it's weak points for sure, like being uneven at times. The first game was worse tbh. I would have liked to see what Avellone had come up with.

Playing Bloody Ties though just brings to forefront just how uneven it is with at times the plot moving forward going from non plausible to downright ridiculous. If you had any suspension of disbelief (immersion) these bring you right back to reality with jarring precision.

I tend to stand by the principal, it's their story to tell but, I maintain it doesn't have to be a good one in my opinion.

As many know a good story plot can move along the most inane of game play without much complaint from the end user. The reverse seems to be the case here if I am to generalize.

Overall I just expect better from a supposed triple A gaming publisher. If it's a matter of cultural translation maybe resources should be spent on deciphering that in the name of localization?

[Bankai9212]

I don’t think translation would really do much, most of the plot is working with people to find Mia that’s the bulk of the entire plot of not the whole plot. While factions are well and good you have little reason to side with either since as a pilgrim you have no stake in any of it.

I think it is a very bad idea to give the player too relevant choices if the game goes on after the game is over. The player even leaves the city and yet you still in the city. Also you have no direct control over what happens to characters you like, you have to consult external sources to get a clue. This is not how a game should work.
Another problem is that the game introduces to like 500 characters with all the side missions, but there is no bond to any of them exept Lawan but even that connection is not used. She only has a passive role.
The first 30 minutes did everything better. You see the house and the people that did their last party. You get clues, want to know more about them and the world around.

[Bankai9212]

Also the fact the game will reference how bad it is outside the wall. Not like we experience any of that short of the prologue.

[SCORP10N2000]

Really awful! i got bored near end and still haven't finished.
plus game running like ♥♥♥♥ didn't help.

[Big Ma Ma]

The story is terrible

Finding a long lost family member is such a cliche overused plot, Besides, Mia is such a weak plot device that players don't even care because there's no depth and mystery behind her.

Then there are plot holes everywhere. Endings do not make sense and are strongly biased towards the Survivors, even though the character writing on Survivors are all terrible. Frank is a burden to everyone because he is an delusional useless drunkard in the story. Somehow he save people by giving him Radio tower for his "Dear Diary" show. Not to mention those two traitorous self-conflicting siblings, Sophie and Barney.

[Bankai9212]

I agree with above, while Crane wasn’t a create character he has far better character growth compared to Aiden who just feels stick standard for the entire game. Along with characters you don’t care or bond with.

Doesn't make it any better, that I doubt they'll be bringing anything back, I'm mainly speaking about the E3 combat and parkour, plus weapon mods having to be manually turned on, and E3 ropes and the rope swing velocity. The rope swing now is exaggerated. Oh and the push animation.

[REITERPALLASCH]

Very mid to pretty bad. I give it a 4/10

[AgentFlea]

I'm glad I'm one of those people that couldn't care less about the story. I'm in it for the parkour fun zombie sandbox and on that, it delivered

[Nemesis Enforcer]

The cutshots to the 'sister' saying "Aiden" as you walk through a hospital get old really fast. Overall the story is lame. We're supposed to be invested in a character we only meet at the end, and partially through the campaign you lose sight of that by the events they throw you up against. It has good characters, and good acting, just nothing memorable in the script. As mentioned above, it's not too far off from the first. The setting is good, but that is all that keeps me coming back. Everyone is putting their ideals on the unmentioned DLC, but at this point, I'm not putting my hopes up. It's just good to jump into to hack away and roam.
