I found a pistol there in a cabin a little while ago but very limited ammo so won't be using it for awhile, also found Excalibur!

Absolutely yes! It's now one of my favorite games of the last few years. I've just spent the last few hours editing about 15 hours worth of footage for two 4 minute "funny moments" videos. Gave myself the hiccups laughing so much at the footage & I realized watching some of the stuff back that not many games have ever given me this much fun!

The music is great in it. It's very John Carpenter. Lovely synths.

It kicks Far Cry 4's ass imo. The side missions are not as boring and there appears to be more of a cogent story to it as well.

dreamers75 · 03-02-2015 9:59am

Steam shared the boys version to me last night and it is good fun, I will buy it when it drops a bit more.

Runs fine on his pc now after the patches.

DARK-KNIGHT · 03-02-2015 10:07am

Found a monster assault rifle last night :Do 14 bullets though

That's for sure, it's bloody brilliant, from the moment you start the game and in the fights.

Sephiroth_dude · 03-02-2015 10:16am

Think i may have to get it so

rottie 11 · 03-02-2015 10:23am

Wonder will the price drop in xbox store

Dr. Mantis Toboggan · 03-02-2015 10:59am

Is it possible to remap the jump button on PC? I don't like the keyboard and have an XBone1 controller for it, went into control options and it doesn't seem to allow it.

Amazon uk are selling the PS4 and Xbox one physical copies for £44.99 (€59.76) and it includes Be the Zombie Mode and the Season Pass

Yes, but not available until the 27th of this month. Add ons are also free for all because of the physical copy release mess.

Just as an FYI to anyone who read into the "TECHLAND HATE MODDING" rabble rabble rabble.
They released an announcement saying they didn't remove modding and it was but a misunderstanding (i.e. kneejerk reaction from the internet)

Possible. Or it could be (i.e. backtrack quickly to save sales).

I mean, in order for there to be a misunderstanding in the first place, you have to actually say something about modding.

The clarification was that the hotfix was applied to prevent people unbalancing the mutiplayer (where a player controls a zombie).

This is the narrative they are peddling now, absolutely. But that doesn't jive with DMCA take down orders on single-player only mods.

The U-turn seems to have occurred over backlash. Ultimately, it's a good thing certainly...... but lets be clear here. There was no "misunderstanding". They merely changed their minds and are trying to save face.

Robert ninja · 03-02-2015 5:42pm

Glad to know modding won't be actively prevented. I think the devs know just how important modding is for the exposure and long-term playability of a modern game like this. The question is... do their publisher Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment share the same attitude?

Well thats not true either.

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has apologized for mistakenly issuing Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notices for Dying Light mod files shared online this weekend, saying the requests were issued erroneously by a third-party vendor on the organization's behalf.

Unless Techland decided it was better to pay the ESA to take the fall instead of saying "We're sorry, we'll restore modding". Which seems more likely?

That Molotov cocktail and I missed the water...LMAO...Brilliant!

What a game!!

kearneybobs · 03-02-2015 10:04pm

Just loaded it up there for the first time on PC. The game is using 2.5GB of VRAM on the main menu. This is not going to end well by the time I actually start a game of it. My GTX 970 is going to crawl once it reached the 3.5GB mark.

A company with a choice of admitting their own mistake or blaming it on a third party....... Which does seem more likely...

The "unnamed third party". Nice scapegoat there.

Techland have always had a pro-modding stance. You're simply wrong. I know that must be hard to take. You can have a hug if you like.

There was nothing "pro-modding" about their stance this week. If you believe the nonsense in those PR releases I feel sorry for you.

They botched this launch seven ways from sunday from the pre-order DLC be a zombie to delaying the releases and then not and then delaying them again. The modding mess is just another example of it. I'd offer you a hug but frankly I'd be afraid of catching your bias.

Jaysus tis just a game dude, no need for the tinfoil hat.

Kirby · 03-02-2015 11:32pm

Tinfoil hat? Those are used for conspiracies. There is no conspiracy here. Just companies making poor decisions.

Stone Deaf 4evr · 04-02-2015 10:59pm

Just did my first night mission. Holy crap. It's been a long time since I felt terror playing a game. I can't get over how dark night time is, really feels like you're running for your life.

ktulu123 · 04-02-2015 11:01pm

When I did my first night mission, I didn't really pay attention to what was said about the ultraviolet torch you're given. So I was running around shining my normal torch at everything, wondering why it had no effect.

LoL, I didn't realize I had one for about the first about 6 hours of the game:pac:

dreamers75 · 05-02-2015 6:00pm

Wtf I have a UV torch?

When did i get that? And most importantly how do i use it?

Spear · 05-02-2015 6:02pm

It's selected as a throwable item, e.g. the molotovs/knives.

The same button uses them, middle mouse on the PC by default. Beyond that, just shine in their eyes.

Timmyctc · 05-02-2015 8:59pm

You press G if you have it equipped to use. Or middle mouse. Think its handier with 'G'. You're given it by Spike right at the start of the game. Stops hunters in their tracks. Is really good when you unlock the ability to use it while looking behind you, if you're a fan of night running.

Stone Deaf 4evr · 06-02-2015 12:53pm

looking forward to playing a good bit of this at the weekend. the game definitely lends itself to funny moments as well.
"theres a zipline, jump out and grab it, ok, nicely done, now i'll follow.... uh, no! no! no!" splat.

that and me continually attacking the boomers with a bat was very funny. the run back to the tower in the dark was class as well.

degrassinoel · 06-02-2015 4:15pm

i eh, just came across the

shrieking child zombie in old town.. kind of suprised they got away with putting that in the game and you being able to kill it and all

That was one creepy mission

ktulu123 · 06-02-2015 4:26pm

Yeah that was strange alright, all the lads were freaked out by it. I put a round in it's head straight away(I DONT LIKE NOISE)

calex71 · 06-02-2015 8:06pm

Ordered on amazon after being tempted just to download it , but seeing as the season pass was going with it for free I took amazon up on it.

Only after did I check to see what was in the pass ..... glad I didn't pay for that lot

19.99 for a few new story missions, cosmetics and a horde mode.

Justwinginit · 07-02-2015 8:27pm

Just got the grappling hook, sweet :-D

Pixelbastardo · 07-02-2015 8:58pm

Does anyone else not use the grappling hook often, or at all ?. I used it for an hour or 2 when it unlocked first, but havent really taken to it. I found it abit finicky to use and died from using it afew times, plus it takes up a valuable inventory slot.
