The devs really have been busy. Will be interested in a new review, not expecting anything near an 8 or above, but must be higher than a 3 it previously scored.
Seems crazy to (re)release it in Q1, but looking forward to another playthrough with hopefully increased population density and improved visuals. Anything else improved will be a bonus
A 7 so far for me. I thought the prologue was really good, now I'm in the kind of lull where I don't have any decent perks or equipment and it's a little bit repetitive. Hoping it picks up again.
I love base.com and their prices, but my last Pre-order (dying light 2) failed to be dispatched on time for release and was then showing out of stock, so I don't think they limited the orders to their stock unless there was a supply issue. Just a word of warning for anyone desperate to play on release day.
Not sure if anyone can explain further - the review on this site made it sound (to me at least) that enemies will attack you either 'high or low', but there was no 'tell' as to which it would be, leading me to think it was more about pot luck which sounds frustrating. Yet another article today is on about speed runs and people attempting to finish the game without aging. If that's possible, how, if there is no tell? Is there a set attack cycle you must learn?
I would potentially have a look at Factions, realise I've fallen way behind all other players, can't commit enough time to it, get verbally abused by some teen, then give up.
What exactly are people cheating at - having a fast time posted on a leaderboard? Having access to cars they didn't rightfully acquire? Big deal - if they want to pay £70 for a game and do that 🤷♂️ Not affected personally but why should people with poor or no internet connection suffer?
Next Sony released dvd will stop people fast forwarding to the end to stop them spoiling it?
Good review, and at least they provided a copy and allowed reviews to be published before release.
@LiamCroft did you have the day 1 patch? Any comments on dualsense or was it pretty standard stuff?
Hoping the sluggish menu and glitches can be sorted. I still have the opportunity to cancel my order but there's enough in the review to suggest I'll enjoy it a lot.
All the more frustrating for people that genuinely want one - there are currently 8 boxed ps5's for sale at Cex within a 10 mile radius of my house. They must be sitting on so much stock and at £650 will continue to do so.
Won't hurt to add planet coaster to the library. Used to love Theme Park back in the day. Adding extra salt to the fries and sticking a drinks stand next to it, genius.
The near future sounds like a streaming subscription based always online live service multiplayer with a choice of playing star wars or marvel games whilst hooked up to a psvr2 and everytime you blink you agree to pay for a microtransaction.
I don't get any of this acquisition stuff - paying billions for what is ultimately a brand name and an office building (and in some cases an IP). The talent that makes these games are free to move around at will, as seen by every studio always going on a recruitment drive when making a new game.
@Fuzzymonkeyfunk cheers, I'll keep trying. Watched so many YouTube Vids, switched places with her to put her in the gas below, kicked her down the stairs, shot at her feet, can never get the trophy to pop.
Not usually a trophy hunter at all, but I really want this platinum as its a great game.
Sick of reading about game pass, but my two penneth worth, maybe a 'PS game pass' featuring only games that are not cross party, and you have to subscribe to both PS plus and this to access them. Sony doesn't lose revenue, MS makes more.

@Snake_V5 the 2nd patch note from the top confirms there are separate trophy lists

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Version Likely Launching Tomorrow
One extreme to the other in terms of their marketing and announcing the game early. Looking forward to it

Mopping up trophies on ratchet and clank, then back to dying light 2
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dying Light 2?

Re: Horizon Forbidden West PS5, PS4 Pre-Load Available Now
90 odd gb, when dying light is around 25gb. That's quite a difference
Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Officially Confirmed for PS4, Master Splinter Gameplay Debuted
Looks brilliant. Loved what they did with streets of rage
Re: So, It Seems Xbox Really Will Keep Activision Games Like Call of Duty on PS5, PS4
Thank you for allowing me to continue to exercise my right not to buy call of duty.

Re: Busted PS5, PS4 GTA Remasters Sold Around 10 Million Copies
Are you sure this is 10 million cash sales, and not a good proportion being game pass/PS Now downloads counted as 'sales'?
Re: PS5 Architect Mark Cerny to Help on Haven Studios' Inclusive and Caring Online Game
So that's one of the ten live services down and doomed to fail, nine more to go. Bungie are going to busy.

Re: Disco Elysium's Big Update Out Now on PS5, PS4, Massively Improves Load Times and More
That's good, as the loading times on ps5 were the worst I've experienced so far
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Dying Light 2: Stay Human for PS5, PS4?
I'm a couple of hours in on ps5, really enjoying it so far.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 412
Starting dying light 2 later once the chores are done

Re: First Impressions: Ghostwire: Tokyo Goes Heavy on Supernatural Action
It'll never happen but this game looks perfect for psvr2

Im not on commission, but it's £46.85 at Base. Com.
Need to know more about it before thinking about buying it.

I always thought it was free to be honest, and I still never played it

Re: First Impressions: Gran Turismo 7 on PS5, PS4 Looks Like the Biggest and Best Yet
And people were moaning a couple of days ago about there being a 30 min state of play for this game.

Any excuse to mention MLB the show.
Re: Dying Light 2 (PS5) - Good Sequel Hurt by Expectation
@Tecton217 nice, thanks for that
Re: PS5 Console Exclusive Ghostwire: Tokyo Confirmed for March 2022
Are there any games other than god of war coming out after March?!
Re: Dying Light 2 (PS5) - Good Sequel Hurt by Expectation
@Tecton217 I've read two reviews saying you can't, can you elaborate?
My thinking is 15 years on from the original I'd imagine bullets and firearms would be hard to come by.

Re: PS5 Sales Hit 17.3 Million, Now Selling Slower Than PS4

Re: Geoff Keighley Hints at More Gaming Acquisitions in 2022
At this rate I'm going to dig out my raspberry pi and learn how to code. Got to be worth a couple of billion.
Re: PS Plus' PS5, PS4 February 2022 Games Are Available Now
Won't hurt to add planet coaster to the library.
Used to love Theme Park back in the day. Adding extra salt to the fries and sticking a drinks stand next to it, genius.
Re: New and Existing Bungie Games Will Not Become PS5, PS4 Exclusives
There has to be some sort of dragons den you give us a percentage of all sales going forward arrangement otherwise what's the point.
Re: PlayStation Studios Is Developing 'Several' Live Service Games

Re: Sony Buys Ex-Halo, Destiny Developer Bungie for $3.6 Billion
I don't get any of this acquisition stuff - paying billions for what is ultimately a brand name and an office building (and in some cases an IP). The talent that makes these games are free to move around at will, as seen by every studio always going on a recruitment drive when making a new game.
Re: Abandoned Dev's YouTube Hacked, PS5 Pre-Orders Are a Hoax
I heard that if you open the email and send funds, hideo kojima sends a video guaranteeing to double your investment by the end of the year.
Re: Possible Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Cover Spotted on PlayStation Servers, News Could Be Incoming
It'll end up getting swamped by other releases now, but definitely looking forward to seeing the improvements

February and March's releases will see me through most of the year, anything else will be a bonus

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk did you have any trouble killing Harriet with gas? I must have tried a dozen combinations so many times
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 411
2 trophies left to get on deathloop (including an annoying buggy one) which I hope to get before dying light 2 takes over.

Re: Here's Proof Dying Light 2 Can Run on Your Crusty PS4 Pro, PS4
Seems to run OK indeed. Must be a nightmare for devs releasing on so many different platforms on day one.
Re: Wrestling Battle Royale Rumbleverse Has Been Delayed Indefinitely on PS5, PS4

Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for February 2022 Do You Want?
3 Activision games
Re: Capcom's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Is Now Five Years Old
Hopefully this will get a psvr2 patch somehow, along with village.
It was horrifying enough without the fear of tripping over all the wires and cables and ripping the TV off its stand.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Will Have Strong Moral Choices Leading to an Impactful Ending on PS5, PS4
I think this will be on a decent sale by the time I've finished 500hrs of dying light
