What did /v/ think of this?
Oh, yeah, for what it's worth I thought it was decent enough but it really shits the bed towards the end.

Best drop kicking simulator in years
s'alright. Too easy on normal, too hard on hard. The story sucks but the gameplay is fun.
I really liked the demo.
Wanted to get a used copy for console, since I have troubles running it on pc, but can't find it below 40$ around.
I enjoyed it.
The best first person parkour mechanics to date. It's fun for a single play through but there's really nothing that warrants replayability.
Decent, but gets boring quickly. Zombies can provide so much entertainment before getting stale. That's the downside of having ennemies with virtually no AI.
Oh and the modding aspect of it was very limited, which is amusing considering that they released tools and shit. But still, you can't modify the sounds, create new models or animations, so it's fucking pointless. Either go hard or go home, you can't make concessions with modding.
>>329472696
blue screened my computer. Holy fucking shit how does that even happen in this day and age?
It killed quite a few hours, I actually started a new game+ but never finished it.
Have yet to try the new DLC expansion. I will someday.
I really enjoyed the movement system, found myself aimlessly roaming the city quite a few times.
All in all, it was a positive experience.

I spent almost all my time before I got a gun dropkicking everything, it was the most efficient way to kill the enemies, especially when I learned that if they can't stand up they automatically die.
Honestly though, I found the regular zombies had waaaaaay too much health when you're using melee. That, and when you get a gun if you can click on heads you never need to worry about anything ever.
Playing on Hard and losing 8000 Survivor points every death made me glitch my level to max. Difficulty needs some serious tweaks.
Fun parkour survival game. Grappling hook OPand fun as fuck

This bothered me. There were some actual boss fights so why did they make Rais a QTE?

I enjoy a departure from the norm. Not done often enough.
>>329473000
nice trips man
>>329474264
Not only that but it was the only QTE in the game, which made it feel even weirder.
>>329474457
It wasn't a "departure" from anything, it was just old fashioned poor writing. As well, Rais was so comically evil that you couldn't take him seriously. Why would ANYONE work for a man that kills his henchmen for no reason at all constantly?
>>329474029
>use nothing but shooty guns
>have volatiles on your ass 24/7

I only used guns when other people used guns.
>>329474950
I only used them when I had to fight really, in the main I just ran the fuck past everything.
Also, the long corridor in the museum level with loads of infected, did anyone else just throw a bunch of molotovs and collect a shitload of cigarettes and money from the bodies? I think I ended the game with $35k and I never spent a penny.
fucking Volatiles, man
I tried to kill one but I was too much of a pussy to try
How's the DLC?
>>329473739
I just kind of assumed they were going with that horror movie ending where you think there is a glimmer of hope only to be shit on by the re appearence of the horror with a jump scare. I was pretty mad with the dlc ending with this in regard until I realized it was just you standard shitty horror movie eending kek
>>329473739
I believe they wanted the players motivation be to kill Rais. He was responsible for all those people dying.
> you can unlock outfits
> first person means you never really get to see it
>>329475745
Not all of them. In fact, technically only one.
>>329472696
I like it a lot, it has many flaws, but it's superb where it matters. Zombie bashing is top notch, parkour and movement is great (buggy in DLC included), the map in the base game is spectacular. The story is shit, there are bugs, performance is shoddy, the beginning of the game is very slow and you get your salad tossed by everything.
Looking back at it, it was a positive experience. And I have a very short tolerance for bullshit from games.

Plot twist: This anon was playing on the PS4
Horrible gameplay overall. Should've just ripped off mirror's edge gameplay 1:1 but instead they made it awful pseudo-realism instead of constant sanic fast
also the crafting system is one of the worst ever
>>329473524
>regular zombies had waaaaaay too much health when you're using melee
if you've got low end gear sure, but the high end shit works wonders. but of course why not use a gun at that point
>>329479514
The parkour is good and the melee gameplay is satisfying but you're right, could've done without the stupid ass pseudo-realism bullshit that just makes the game 300% more tedious than it needs to be.
>>329480408
I don't think I ever used guns except early on for the big ass brutes. But when you got charge up attacks and great melee weapons they died in one-two hits anyway.
>>329480621
It had right ideas but really faulty execution that I can't forgive.
A great game through and through.
Solid 8/10
It's like if Dead Island was good, funny since it was made by the same devs.
There is a good amount of replayability. Even more fun with friends, but that's a given.
Not many people try the NightHunter mode but it is one of my favorite multiplayer modes still today and I would give it a shot. The tension amplifies the whole intensity of the game and just makes it a more satisfying experience.

I just hate it how it's constantly cut by GOTTA BE REALISTIC moments in gameplay. Sorry if it doesn't suit your narrative.
It's like constant cut sin gameplay fluidity. not good.
>>329472696
I honestly liked it. Combat felt nice and "beefy". Felt like I was bludgeoning/slicing a piece of rotting meat. But for some reason I cant find myself playing it for a second play through. But that's a personal thing.
>TFW no qt Turkish MMA gril to beat you up irl
>>329473027
Kill yourself shill
>>329472846
Extra huge bummer since I spent my hard earned in-game currency to get an orange weapon for it, climbing the signal tower was good though.
>all those deaths are your fault
>>329472696
I liked it a lot, I can't say why exactly, but everything clicked.
I liked the characters, Crane turned out to be pretty endearing and the setting was neat. Plot had some nice twists, and I liked how Rais goes from this scary evil bad man to a pathetic attention whore over the course of the game while the focus shifts to keeping survivors alive.
The Buggy is pretty fun, especially in co-op against night hunters
>driving full speed while a night hunter grapples around a forest
Probably my favourite game of 2015 alongside Mad Max.
The production value is fucking great. Crane comments on everything, tonnes of side quests, gory visceral combat, it was atmospheric as fuck and at night, it really felt like a challenge. Sure, the QTE final boss was a downer but we all know the climb up the tower was the real boss here.
Also, the buggy is just too much fun.
>>329485283

also
>find a survivor
>escort mission
>proceeds to charge headfirst into every group of zombies with a wrench
>repeat until you give up and let him die
It was ok
dead island had a much better skill system with the different characters and i absolutely hated having to craft shit in dying light, but apart from that, pretty good game, especially in coop.
not sure about the expansion though, zombies spawning out of nowhere and launching on your car gets old quick, plus most of it is just driving, which isn't actually bad but the game's strenght is in the parkour mechanics.
THE ITEM PICKUP ANIMATION IS
FUCKING
RETARDED
I HAVE LITERALLY STOPPED LOOTING BODIES BECAUSE ITS THAT FUCKING IRRITATING
>>329472696
The park our feels fucking great. But the game drags on a bit too much and gets boring afterward. Crafting isn't really fun either since every weapon break in 15 minutes.
>play Nigthmare mode
>want to loot a chest on some bumfuck train in the middle of nowhere

>>329475369
it's like an early 00's late 90's style DLC where it's something completely new, and best of all it works pretty well aside from all the shit strewn about the roads that you constantly ram into.
Pretty great game. Probably the best zombie game I have ever played although that doesn't say much.
My biggest problem was the car in The Following, every time I went offroad I felt like I'm playing envio bear even with lvl 5 parts and there wasn't many roads.

Pretty fun game but they need a fucking fast travel system.
I got really tired having to hike literally all the way across the map for shit.
>>329491349
Yeah, especially between sectors
I loved the core game. But I dropped The Following so hard, I ended up refunding it. I absolutely hated the car and the severe lack of major cities.
>>329491349
>>329491403
there is a fast travel system you dumbos

I don't mean from Old Town to the Slums but within a fucking sector.

>>329491617
that's what I'm talking about. There is a fast travel system for that.
great but can't stand blur effect literally unplayable
>>329490482
Getting the offroad suspension upgrade helps a lot, so try to get that ASAP. Challenges, races and bounties are worth a good amount of EXP.
>kyle, you know all those people you've grown to care about?
>yes, talking volatile?
>why don't you nuke them
>why?
>it's the only way
>oh well in that case sure
>>329491692
Explain further.
I don't think I've ever used it. Or maybe it wasn't in The Following.I didn't like the endings for either option in that DLC, but whatever. It's probably canon that Crane turns into a Night Hunter, rather than Harran getting nuked.
Recently started a new save so I can play the game again from the beginning up to the DLC. Currently before going into the school, doing side quests and snagging supply drops. I forgot how fun it was to just mindlessly run through the area.
And this time, I knew how to handle annoying enemies like goons and the spitting dudes. Molotovs and burning ninja stars will deal with anything. Molotov groups, ninja star single enemies, will even take down virals with a single hit and silently, until you get the stomp skill.

>>329472696
Main game is average. DLC is fucking amazing
I enjoyed the original up until right before I was gonna hit the next zone. I got the grappling hook and had done most all the side quests and felt like a god. Zombies just felt like a chore instead of being either a challenge or a fun distraction. The story was painfully clichéd and I just couldn't continue cuz it was so cringe worthy. Like the heavy handed foreshadowing of "The Volatile Nest" that young kid kept talking about, and then the actual mission was boring and rushed. I dunno, the pacing felt really weird in the story. The side quests were a lot more fun for me and once those were finished up I was kinda bored.
I heard playing on Hard was a decent difficulty so I may try the game again on Hard after I get my new rig in a couple weeks.

>>329492062

>>329472696
I really love it, they should fix the multiplayer though its very rare to find people to play with even though theres like 10k playing it right now.
>>329492062Atilia's cancerous suicide gave me all the proof I needed that attributing a hundred year old religion to modern technology and events makes complete sense. You truly are the god of the sun, Kyle.
Hey it's pretty good!
>>329492848
You seriously have to cheese the game to make any progress. I don't know about you, but I take no joy in neckbreaking every zombie I come across while in camo that never runs out.
Camouflage is game-breaking.
Pretty mediocre but you can make le funny webms so neo-/v/ loves it.

Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffaggots need to turn off Invasions if they don't want to get their shit slapped.
I pirated it and enjoyed it a little.
Been waiting on a price drop since release. Now the expansion is out the price has jumped up again.
I'll probably never own it. Need to drop to about 40% of what it is now.
>>329492848
Funny I just posted this >>329492832
and next post answers my question.
Maybe I'll just bum rush on normal if I play again. Or try out the co-op since I never even touched that.
>>329492848
The only reason to play on hard is to up your legend level, which is rendered useless as the balance between you upgrading and the zombies upgrading is wrong, or to wander around at night with things not showing on the map. If I could just turn off the icons on normal/easy, I would.
>>329492874
I don't consider it worse. Kyle acts according to his motivation and does everything to obtain what he still thinks is the cure. Him turning into a volatile isn't a happy ending, sure, but it's also not a dead-end. It's pretty ambiguous when between two endings one is a full stop and the other allows for continuity. I feel like they're planning on incorporating something like be the zombie into the singleplayer story.
>>329493279

I had alot of fun with it, the story actually interested me which is a good thing to me when it comes to a zombie game. Ending boss battle was dumb. But playing online with people is fun because they'll drop you a bunch of purple weapons and you just run through crowds of zombies together. It's fun

Does anyone here know how to fix the game's stuttering?
I've tried vsync, capping framerate, different resolutions, different refresh rates, windowed mode, and turning it off an on again.
Game simply won't not stutter every half second. Especially when I move.
SPECS: 4790k @ 4.5ghz, 280x.
>>329493485
I'd say the worst part of it is he made it outside of the quarantine. The devs obviously wanted to go for the "Oh so ironic" ending, without realizing how stupid it is. It appears that the sewers are the magical solution to getting ANYWHERE, even outside. A transforming halucinating moron found his way out. Talk about shitty plot convience. I don't know who's more dumb, the people in the zones or the government who locked it down.
>>329494080
>AAA
Not even slightly
>>329494246
I know exactly what you're saying. When he walked out into an uninfected area the first thought that came to my mind was genuinely "Wait did he travel back in time?". It took some time to realize that Harran was not infected in its entirety. Throughout the game we're shown how the infected area has been cordoned off by walls, army posts, bombs, any means necessary in general. And then there's an open sewer that Kyle just stumbles upon.
And while we're on the subject. When Tolga and Fatin contacted you for the last time the subtitles said garbled static, but the speech pretty clearly said something like "there's a huge arena". I wonder if that's a hint at further DLC.
>>329494220
Sounds like micro stutter.
Put everything back to default, vsync off.
In Nvidia Control Panel or the AMD equivalent put vsync on in there and the actual fix: enable triple buffering.
Can't confirm this but every game I have ever had that issue with such as Darksiders 2 rerelease, triple buffering fixed it every time.
>>329477736
Or vault straight up + death from above
soundtrack was pretty cool
not award winning but unique
>>329472696
Weak story, but great fun gameplay. Once you get over the difficulty hurdle in the beginning, and put some points in agility, it becomes a blast to play.
