The story is still a bit shyte but i rarely skipped a scene. It's mad that the gameplay made me more invested in the story. I still don't know how i feel about the ending, I got the good ending but one of the last decisions isn't very clear going by the other possibilities.

Anyway, lot of fun activities to do in end game, people complain about ubisoft and their towers to climb but they are damn fun to do in this.

The whole survivors vs peacekeepers ball was dropped big time. I sided with survivors but still giving Peacekeepers festivities just to get their crossbow.

The Walking Dead crossover event should be happening soon, will happily dip in and out of this.

The Walking Dead crossover event starting tomorrow and lasting 1 week. Completing the fault challenge ever day will give a special reward apparently.

Techland after tanking their reputation by bringing in more micro transactions

Potential-Monke

Forced by Embracer seems to be the feeling I'm getting. Shooting themselves in the foot, but I doubt this is coming directly from Techland, because they didn't do anything of the sort iirc in the first one.

The Dying Light 2 Firearms update is the largest Dying Light 2 update so far, adding guns to the game for the first time. The Reloaded Edition also includes co-op survivor missions, board quests, and several visual enhancements.

Same with me, i played again after the big parkour and combat update and was so much more fun to play, just make the parkour mode is set to realistic or whatever the new one is in the settings as it's so much better than the floaty default. This new update looks great as well but I'm really interested to know about their upcoming expansion. Big shoes to fill after The Following.

Also, I never realised but just got confirmation from dev that base game owners get an auto update to the reloaded edition which contains the bloody Ties dlc. That update hits in about 20 minutes.

Nightmare Mode

If you like challenges, we’ve got what you need. Nightmare Mode is our new highest difficulty for those wanting to truly experience the nightmarish reality of the Dying Light universe. Enemies are most cunning and brutal. They will put up even more of a fight now, which is important, as you’ll now realize everything you’ve relied on in previous playthroughs aren’t so reliable! And survival becomes essential with limited information and UI elements. To sum up the Nightmare Mode experience:

Level 5 Chase with Tyrants

• Being in a menu no longer stops the game — Watch out as you are crafting stuff in real-time! Luckily for you, the Pause menu works as normal though
• Flashlight now dims and flickers when in constant use, and can even cut out
• Lower immunity from each inhibitor
• Higher chance of looting rare quality items
• Survivor Sense shows only weapons and quest items
• Tactical Stamina — Regeneration takes longer to kick in, and when exhausted, you’ll only be able to shove until your stamina is full once again
• Player armor and resistance reduction
• Higher stamina drain when paragliding at night
• Volatiles have shorter sight, but Chases trigger faster
• Stamina regenerates at a slower rate
• Health does not regenerate automatically
• A larger amount of Legend Points is awarded
• Players lose all Legend Level XP towards the next level up on death at Level 50 and above
• Efficiency of Boosters has been reduced

That sounds class. That tower raid at the end of the story was brilliant, guess they're trying to recapture that with multiplayer.
