Yes. You can always find a common weapon at beehives, but later on you will be absolutely swimming in blue and purple weapons (I just made it to the 2nd area).
The game is amazing but the motion blur combined with the taa gives me motion sickness on ps5. wish there was a way to disable it.
I was able to unlock the slide move in 5 hours (at least according to the PS5 timer). I have no idea what reviewers were talking about when it came to the movelist taking too long to open up.
If you do parkour challenges and keep an eye out for inhibitors then you can unlock the slide move fairly quickly. Also, doing quests at night helps. The timer is forgiving, Aiden's default speed is pretty fast, getting chased is fun and there's plenty of immunity items to find.

Agreed. This is at the top level of "one more thing" games, and much like Marvel's Spider-Man I think the super enjoyable traversal is the key ingredient. It's so easy to justify trekking across the map when the actual act of getting there is just as fun as the reason for going.
Higher quality weapons take a lot longer to break and have more upgrade slots (so more possibility to add +50 durability while out in the field) I was runnin around with a "legendary" quality weapon for multiple quests in a row, where I made more than enough money to buy a couple more legendary weapons if I find any at the merchants ! And during the quests I fucked up the stealth part in a dark building twice and ended up fighting a LOT of infected ! Merchants will always have high quality weapons at a price that is sustainable for the rate you make money at, not even considering weapon loot.
Happy that the motion blur is being worked on. It's already an option to disable it on the PC version, so shouldn't be that hard to implement it on consoles.
Decided to turn off RTX+DLSS. It's just too "soft" looking with DLSS and the game is looker even without RTX.
Also, it's definitely easier than DL1. Easy access to weapon mods + good weapons + OP block/dodge stagger make combat against humans a cakewalk. Stealth that gang hideout? Nah, I'll kill you all in normal combat :D
Just got to the second part of city, got the glider and... hating it. I'm supposed to press S to level it, but I press it and nothing seems to happen. Honestly, annoying mechanic.

I'm loving the game now that I'm a few hours in, but how the fuck do you release a crossgen game without crossgen play in 2022?! I got it for my girlfriend on PS4 after sinking a few hours into the PS5 version, only to find out we can't even play together. Added the PS4 version to my download queue before bed, but I'm really not looking forward to restarting that tutorial. And I doubt our other friends who play are willing to downgrade/start over. So, yay, I have to juggle two versions if I want to play with friends and my girlfriend, even though we're all in the same ecosystem.
Did you try the sharpener in the options? I can't turn off RT because I'm spoiled entitled 3090 owner. Even though I paid MSR, I'm going to get everything out of this card.
God, Aiden is so weak/wimpy to start off. I've seriously gotta sink some real hard hours into this so I can level him up good lol.
I felt the same at the beginning, but it´ll change once you explore the open world. You`ll find a weapon at every roof grove. So keep an eye out for those tall trees with yellow leaves. Higher tier weapons are often stashed in GRE boxes and the like and you can buy them from vendors.

I find the always on aspect really frustrating. Replaying a scenario I died on while losing weapon durability and heal resources, etc on each respawn is not a fun mechanic.
Has there been any explanation why the game looks so bright and washed out during normal gameplay, but in-engine cutscenes look good with decent shadows and darkness? I'm playing with RT off, but I highly doubt it could be that they're enabling RT for real-time cutscenes.
Feeling exactly this right now.
The only thing I wish for is to be able to save wherever you are, esp. if you aren't in a critical mission area. After a few hours, I still am not entirely sure when I can expect that things are saved. They say checkpoints, but it feels like I've stopped the game after reaching a checkpoint (marker) and when I resumed it had returned me to a much earlier point.
Kinda feels like by the endgame Aiden should be Spider-Man
Only the host gets story progress unfortunately. Guests only keep character growth and loot from co-op games.
Yeah, they're an infinite loot source basically. If you need something just head to one, but you can never *complete* them
Cool, glad you confirmed that for me. To be clear, you mean in a safe zone, right? Like the Bazaar? There's no way to take a nap in the open, like on a rooftop?
You see your body literally all the time through parkour, not to mention every time you pause and your partner through coop.

So, this may have been mentioned already, but the rebinding key bugs are even more broken than I initially thought. Besides not being able to bind to the mouse buttons I ran into a bigger issue I didn't find till after playing 23 hours lol.
So, like any civilized pc gamer, the past 23 years or so, I've always used Left Control as the crouch button in first person games with a crouch ability. Having crouch on C has never made sense to me, yet even in 2022 some devs are still defaulting to it. Anyway, crouch on Lcontrol, I eventually buy the Active Landing skill where you hit crouch right before landing. The little video shows how, like the first game, you'd do a roll depending on the height of the jump, this never worked for me in DL2, I figured the skill was broken, nope.
So, last night, I decided to hit C when I jumped off a building, which is not bound to anything and what happens, but of course the Active Landing skill works. So yea, I dunno how a developer who has always been pc focused first screws up keybinding this badly, I have may to go back to controller until they fix this.
That said, I don't want to only poo poo Techland, the game is a lot of fun, even if it's not a horror game like the first one.

I'm so glad I waited to buy this.
Been stuck with a 1080ti for the last 4 years and haven't found a 3080/90 ever - until now! My husband just surprised me and bought a 3090 arriving the week so I'm breaking it in with this game. This will be the first time I've ever had RT/DLSS on my PC so I'm very excited to see this in action.

What? Booo! I guess I'm a proud barbarian then!
C for crouch for life!
The bugs have been really noticeable but holy SHIT the
chase sequence with Walts was the buggiest shit I have seen in a while. The girl keeps running through walls and disappearing, he isn't even chasing us, no music. She keeps closing the doors which leads to small loadings. Like what the fuck happened here. No tension at all for this "chase". Even ended up having to reload the game because one of the many loading doors wouldn't open.
Steamgameswap on reddit, you can get it as cheap as $40 (if you're lucky) but the current going price there is $45, so might give it a try there?
Pretty sure the game saves when you quit, like Souls games. Only difference is that you'll respawn into the nearest safehouse when booting up again.
Huh this is new to me.
Confused on how this works. Do I make a post saying what I'm looking for?
Just started but is it a bug you can't get the loot inside buses? I see a bunch and see now way of getting in.
Lol no way!!
He's crazy yet great. He is not a gamer, but loves that I love it and he's an IT guy so he takes good care of me on the tech side of stuff :)
He's the one who has been trying for a year and a half to find me a damn video card and it's basically driven him insane. But I'm beyond excited - it's like a miracle at this point. I guess I need to learn about RT and stuff because I've just seen pics of games… I know nothing about actually using it/settings etc. and the ones for Dying Light 2 look extensive. Here I thought it was just an on/off toggle lol.
This game is really dark in shadows and night play on my C1. Anyone have recommended settings? I'm on Series X.
If I use my flashlight , does it attract zombies?
