Dying Light's Perfect Atmosphere 

Indeed, the sound was the main focus of this video, with some visuals as well of course.

Damn guess is the last good game they ever made

its cuz people have lust for beauty which is the worst thing to have ever happend which is why games are probably so terribly optimized its also included the ceo's and devs but especially the ceo's

@@someguywithnochallenger8178dl2 better

sound design is like 50% of the job especialy in a horror vodeo game or movie. They did a great job in Dying Light

Such a shame

Perfectly said

Ninja Turtles got busy with a bad guy

@@HarranSoFarAwaylol

ive replayed the story over 20 times, at least 5 were just to hear the music again

@@mlgsquirrel If you have a Android phone go over to Zedge, The Following ringtone is great.

Yeah obviously cuz the gaming industry changes overtime

I was just thinking that, Dying light 3 or Dying light 1 remaster with a big dlc. I never understand why companies mess it up from a proven winner. Battlefield is the same.

dl points in dl1 ☹️

@@Surnwtf They don't sell out like this

frrrr i keep dreaming about this game everynight wtf

Time will tell… I’m hesitant to try their new game they’re working on, especially after how DL2 turned out.

meanwhile they did it! (@30fps) On consoles at least… it fools me looking next GEN most of the time. Way greater distance view, much sharper textures and way more assets like trees, grass, flowers..❤

You should work for them to help smooth out the game by pointing out the mistake before they launch it.

@@kelloncupid Haha thanks! I've always been very passionate about level design, map details, and worldbuilding in videogames.

How did they fail to create a giant dead mall in DL2? That would have been so sick... like 4 floors of this decaying, derelict building... have some flooded areas, weak floor points with volatiles in dark areas, like the basement or in a department store

Is your dad “NavyLemur” by any chance?

@@Chacher definitely not lol

Wait so does Dying Light 1 feel different cause it's too full or does Dying Light 2 feel different cause it's too full?

​@@kaystephan2610I'm assuming he is talking about DL2. There is an immense amount of feeling you get in a vacuum. Atmosphere is built off of subtlety and the absencees of something. By having everything everywhere, it ultimately has nothing.

They did Dead Island… that wasn’t a fluke. Dying Light is just the evolution of Dead Island.

In what ways was it meant to be? Genuinely curious

​@@HarranSoFarAway Its quite an extended topic, but if we pay attention to how the game progresses, we see that it gets lower and lower quality. For example with the biters, they are the very first developed enemy and are the most polished and fun to fight, and are the ones that fit the most with the physics system. Then theres the virals, good enemy, can be fun to fight but also annoying and has some problems with its design, not as good as biters but ok. Then theres the volatile, very good enemy, its model and sound design made up for one of the most iconic zombies in games. But then we got other enemies, like the goon, which absolutely sucks and doesnt add anything to the gameplay. The demolisher is a very basic enemy, its ok but doesnt add much to the game. And toads... they are just there i guess, can be annoying some times. You see? The very first developed enemy's are the most fun to fight and add the most to the game, but as the game progresses, the enemy's get worse, they didn't really thought about how these enemy's would complement gameplay, like if they just had to rushed their design... it could've been something greater given more time.

I disagree with the special infected, I genuinely like fighting Demolishers, Goons and Toads. I think their designs are nice and I like where they fit in regards to the gameplay loop and how the player is meant to overcome them. Goons are a brick wall personified, having the highest HP pool in the game (aside from boss enemies). They're slow so the player can manouvre around them or distract them / lead them away from where they want to go, or if they choose to fight them they eliminate a large threat (they can 1 shot you on Nightmare from a direct hit). A single hit from their rebar can knock the player down, allowing for other infected to attack you as a follow-up. You can dodge or jump over the shockwave to avoid the attack as well. Design-wise, I like how the "strongman" jobs fulfill the role of Goons, like construction workers and firemen, and their towering presence with a multitude of different designs stand out, with them being one of the few infected that wield tools emphasise that further. Demolishers are actually one of my favourite enemies in the game. Their charge attacks make the player have to adapt to their environment and space themselves so they don't get caught in a hallway of death with nowhere to dodge it (potentially 1 shotting you on Nightmare). Being the only armored enemy in the game, the layered feel of fighting them is great where you hack off their armor over time to reveal their flesh, allowing you to deal direct damage. Visually, seeing the armor come off is fantastic feedback in a game that lacks health bars (and in general the gore / flesh / bleeding system to reflect "hurt" enemies) helped give that extra level of satisfaction. So not only are they fast with their charges, but you're also not safe if you go to a high place away from them (unlike Goons). They're able to throw rocks that deal damage and knock you over, potentially making you fall over and die of fall damage, so you can't ignore them and have to keep at least one eye open if they're nearby. Design-wise, it's nice to see people wearing armor as their job like riot police and firemen transfer those traits over to when they're infected. Toads fill the role of a ranged threat, being able to target the player from a distance (something only Demolishers and Volatiles conditionally do). They spit 3 times before regurgitating their entire stomach lining, giving you time to take them down in melee as they struggle to swallow it back in. Disgusting but cool. They can switch from mid range bursts or long range balls of explosive toxins, making sure you're never standing still, and to keep on the move by using your parkour. I like their design too, I just wish we got more variety with it than just 1 model (unlike every other special infected having multiple models and variants). Each special infected in DL1 add something to the game, and change up the gameplay with how the player reacts to them and how both special and common infected mix together and compliment each other in the gameplay sandbox. My only real issue lies with the screamers, as their screams take away control from the player as Crane puts his hands to his ears. Taking away control from the player, especially in a fast paced movement game like Dying Light, is really frustrating.

@@AussieGG Ok, my issue with specials is that they aren't integrated with the physics system and the parkour, most times a goon fight is reduced to: hit, dodge, hit, dodge... the shockwave HitBox is so big that the best thing is just dodge backwards, and even then you get hit often (u sure you can jump the shockwave? i know thats a thing in DL2 but DL1? I never knew). There aren't much ways to deal with this enemy. But biters are different, there are many ways in which you can use the parkour and physics system to beat them up: Limb targeting is important: You can target their legs so the physics trigger and make them fall so they are much vulnerable or just stop being a threat for a moment, or you can cut their hands to they can't grab u. You can use objects like bricks or gas tanks to make multiple of them fall. You can even climb up and fall onto them to knock em off. If you try something similar with specials, its probable that nothing will happen or it won't help much. Outside biters, virals and volatiles. Theres no other enemy in the game thats that well integrated with the game's mechanics like the physics, parkour, daylight cycle, dismemberment. But what if you could target the goons limbs to make him stumble of something? Maybe even cutting his arms off so he drops his weapon and gets a more agile style of fighting could be a possibility, what about climb up to drop onto it to knock it off (with the physics system) and make him drop his weapon but changing his fighting behavior?. That would be similar to how we fight biters: limb targeting and dismemberment which makes the enemy less deadly but changes its behavior, use parkour and the physics system to knock enemies off. The only difference is that the each enemy type reacts different to this fighting style. This would add much more deep to the enemies and would make them more unique and fun to fight, giving multiple options to approach into fights, like it does with biters. I always thought that the devs wanted to apply this combat formula/philosophy to all enemies in the game, thats why i'm saying that this game was suppoosed to be greater, but they had to rush their development and only the biters remained as the only enemy that got the most polish and quality, and the others remained with a very superficial kind of design that doesn't complement with the game's mechanics like physics, parkour, daylight cycle, dismemberment etc.

Yes, you can indeed jump over the shockwave, that's how I do it all the time to stay close and fight the Goons like that. I agree that there's a lot more that they could've done, but jumping on top of a Demolisher's head is a legitimate strategy that deals damage and stuns them lol. You can also bait them to run to you like a bull, and make them run off the edge of a cliff to their death, though admittedly that only occurs in The Following and some specific areas in Old Town. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea of Techland rushing DL1, but I agree that they could've done more to the game to improve the special infected even more, with some undercooked mechanics like the shitty spit that Volatiles have that are almost hitscan and there's no counterplay to them. Your suggestions also sound great. At the end of the day there will always be an argument to improve a game, no matter what state it is in. Developers draw the line of where they stop and where they think it's alright to package and ship it off to release. You set goals and complete them, but games can always improve even further almost indefiniitely.@@matthewsteer4398

Graphics? Nah, but the art style and direction are top notch and definitely head & shoulders above DL2.

Textures definitely better than dl2@@AussieGG

Textures are better in DL2 if you compare them at max vs DL1 at max.

yes@@AussieGG

Sorry to hear that happened mate, hope things get better

Sure thing, feel free to use any and all of it

@@AussieGG thx!

And this game deserves it

Airdop is a goated mission

Airdrop did it’s job so good a lot of people just avoided every night
