      2. Yep, this makes me more likely to buy a game sequel than any amount of press releases, ‘influencer’ videos, hype from the shill media and corporate virtue signalling ever would.

      1. Yeah man, I don’t even like Zombie games and i’m looking forward to Dying Light 2. I was even more shocked that i’m looking forward to Dying light 2 BUT NOT cyberpunk 2077. Because like you said, i feel as if they’re going to deliver something great. Something new fresh and exciting. Something that I haven’t seen since The Witcher 3. That delay hurt, it was the only game i wanted to play this year.

    1. I agree about it being pretty easy, i’m a nightmare player, always have been. But i do replay the game on NG+ every now and then for the story. I loved it.

    2. what an asinine comment. I will never understand why twits like you complain about a game adding an optional mode for those that want to use it. it has ZERO impact on you so just STFU and play the game like you want to play it and let others that want an easier experience or more replayability to enjoy the game.

  3. Adding an easy mode is so unnecessary. We have normal mode, what’s the point to make it even easier for these noobs? lol. I’ve been playing since day-1 only on nightmare and hard. I’m looking forward for the rest of the content. I know for a fact that they added C4.

    1. Replay value my friend. I don’t think it has anything to do with NOOBS. SOmeone on that DEV team realized that they created an awesome game but the replay incentive isn’t there if you have to regrind this stuff. So this make sense, it makes people more inclined to pick it up again and remember why they fell in love with this game. It’s a strategy and something. Don’t think so much in terms of Zero Sum. How many Open world games out there you’d love to replay but just can’t be bothered because of the tedium. Lets face it, a lot of Dying Light, wasn’t very “streamlined”, this is a 2nd chance to have it be that way and besides it is an OPTION.

      Well that’s my 2 cents anyways, not about right, wrong or noob, i see the potential here. It’s like Shadow Of War, I’d love to replay that game, but the nemesis system turns me off, it’s just fodder and pointless grind. I thought the nemesis system was cool in Shadow Of Mordor, but in Shadow Of War it was just ANNOYING my friend. Cheers

      1. You have a point. Though, i might add, there is always replay value for me. Thanks to the NG+, lots of mods on Nexus, etc.
        But it’s true, there’s a lot to grind. I spent hours on getting level 250. Recently just started a new save file. Nightmare and no HUD, also no hook. 23 hours, earned all the skill trees, and also legend 20. It’s just griding in Dying Light isn’t that bad. For me, personally. I have almost 600 hours, i can spend twice as much and still never get bored. lol
        Never tried those 2. I bought Shadow Of Mordor in the same day as Dying Light, in 2018, never did tried the game, though. All i heard is that it copied Assassin’s Creed or something.
        Cheers.

        1. Oh, my. You got me. You’re right, i have no life. I’m just a dumb student that plays game in his free time. You are soo, so right. Yeah, i’m sure Dying Light 2 will be good. I also heard the game will be online only, and it won’t have language support for chInk$.Which, is kinda ironic, with the game being on EGS and all…

          1. Uhhh… yeah? Lol. Just like everything owned by a American company has… you guessed it, English language support.
            A child? Hahahahaha. Ok man. Kinda sad that you can’t even win an argument with a “child”. Such sad.

          3. Oh my, the “troll” doesn’t get sarcasm. Quite shocking.
            Yeah, my friend. I wasn’t actually talking about India or Pakistan. I was talking about… Africa. It’s the most developed country out there. Google it, do your research.
            And yeah, i can tell by now that English is not your native language. Don’t worry bud, it’s the internet. No one cares.

          4. Plus, i don’t even care if the dog eaters have language support or not. I just like to make fun of Tencent. And you, of course.

          5. Nah, man. You can keep them. In your mouth, your butt, or wherever the hell you want to. Keep your corona virus for yourself.

      1. Because a dev decided to throw in an option to allow for more accessibility.

        Sites like VGCharts and Era at this moment are having near identical discussions of how accessible games “”should” be, and that it’s up to devs, not consumers voices, in a game having optional difficulty modes.

        The very topic itself reeks of internal elitism though, as most games have optional difficulty modes, with the minority number of games not having any options being rounded down to Souls/Souls-like, as well as old games.

        Die hard Souls fans believe adding any option to a game defeats said challenge of said game, as if games are purely designed to just challenge you, which itself is stupid by logical pov’s.

        1. Souls games don’t need a difficulty slider.

          If people feel that the game is too hard for them, then it’s not their game, it’s really that simple and there’s nothing “elitistic” about it.

          Not every game needs to have hand holding options, the whole point of souls games is being hard. Having an “easy mode” would completely defeat the purpose of these games.

          1. “don’t ened”, in your opinion, not an objective fact, let’s get that out of the way.

            Yes, it is elitism, because same people could say the same thing about games being “watered down”, when really they just want said games to be more challenging, ie, more difficult, and then the same old excuse “not your game, sod off” gets used again.

            Not every game needs to be “soul” crushingly difficult either.

            Stop acting like a rose tinted obnoxious fanboy, into thinking that Souls games are other worldly in their design, because they quite frankly are not.

          2. Of course it’s just my opinion, and it’s safe to say the opininon of vast majority of souls fans.

            There’s absolutely nothing elitist about liking the challenge of souls games lol. Stop trying to twist it into fitting your opinion.

            Nobody said that EVERY GAME NEEDS TO BE CRUSHINGLY HARD. NOBODY said that, we were talking about SOULS games.

            Why the F are you so butthurt about souls games or the fact that people love them??

            Did souls games really hand your as* back to you so hard that you’re forever triggered?

            Grow up and accept the fact that not every game needs to fit in your tiny box. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e2a08d004b85793f38b5696413ebdc7d1f35e60e3bc4b6cded99179bfe5f66a4.jpg

          3. Why are you so assmad at the fact that your club revolves around being elitist assmad goits?. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eabd039abcec5b42a8c2a71b670064e0ee4cc59c35aef60da82c41bdaaaf6523.png

            Why don’t you practice what you preach first mate, instead of getting riled up because I pointed out that Souls devouts get ticked whenever options are made available (because let’s face it you commented to me first and got yourself here, could have kept your elitist trap shut for all I care).

            Never once claimed games need to fit a tick box, but the idea that no options are allowed is you telling everyone that it’s fine when it’s your way, so cram that up your backside and jog on, mate.

            Grow a spine for once, instead of being a shrivelled elitist goit.

          4. Imagine getting this fkin triggered and butthurt about a game that’s too hard for you.

            Holy sh*t you’re arrogant and childish, just wow.

          6. You got some serious issues…at least narcissistic behavior probably combined with low self esteem and deppresion and the need for validation.

            Get help. You’re insane.

          7. You’re the one with issues here bud. I suggest you seek help of some sort.

            Definitely, you should seek help, immediately.

          8. I completely agree with Perkele. There’s nothing elitist about it. It’s a game, and it’s designed the way it is. Get over it.

          11. Yet they complain whenever an option is brought forward, or games in general offering more options to games.

          12. Never saw one souls fan complaining about adding difficulty options to games in general. They are right on complaining about adding that in a souls game. You’re just imagining things and believing they are facts.

          13. I’ve seen enough during my time to know they see adding difficulty options as something that “waters down” said game, and that Souls “taught them”, to just rolls with one setting and one setting only. Some even like to apply that ideal to all games, in which it’s usually followed up with ye old “don’t like it?, git gud”.

            Also no, I won’t let a pike like you tell me what I did and did not see with my own eyes. Please jog on for being such a petulant child to suggest such bs “I didn’t see it which means you didn’t either”, please, kindly do me a solid and jog right on forward.

            People that lay the boldest of claims that because they didn’t see it, it must not be true mentality, are probably the biggest man-children around.

          14. Typical of someone who’s acting like a child, calling someone else a child. You’re the one b*tthurt about the subject and even brought it up on an article that has nothing to do with souls games. Go home boy.

          15. 3 days later and he’s acting like a child, trying to get in the last reply.

            You two were the assmad ones in the first place, for even responding to my very comment.

            Practice what you preach first and go home yourself, kid.

          16. I just asked you “why?” and then you went on a rant some idiotic perception you have. hahahaha… go home kid, seriously.

          17. haha, so your really are trying to get in the last word like any child would. Go home kid, It’s time for you to grow up!.

          23. aww, so you trying to get one in again?.

            Let’s see just how long you can last for. Last guy who played this childish game went on for 2 months.

          24. I’m not playng anything. I can see that you’re a just a kid with a lot of time on your hands.Gonna ignore you from now on, you bore me. Bye kid.

          25. You clearly are, because you’ve been spending time from the past 5-6 days posting a response. You really want something out of this, as well as having the last say.

            All I can say is that I feel sorry for Souls fans, who waste their time and salt on trying to get a last word in.

            Sucks to be you though kiddo!

          27. You just proved my point. Two days later and you’re still trying to get the last word in lol.

            What a sad kid you are.

          29. It’s really sad as to how you really, really want to win at this little game of yours XD

            Like I said, last guy lasted 2 whole months with his little childish one liners, let’s see how long you can go for.

          31. and after nearly a week and a half he’s going with one liners, right on time!

            Next he’ll start spamming the same line over and over again, effectively breaking the systems no spam rule!.

          33. haha, he’s just spamming one word replies too!.

            here’s to a year of you spamming an article and getting banned!

          37. oh my, he’s resorted to simply copy+pasting my words, just like the other guy, lmao.

            Can’t wait to see how long a kid like you keeps this up for. 2 months was the last guy, let’s see if you can make it a year, it’ll make it easy for the Disqus mods at the end of the day.

          39. Only one crying here is you with how you copy+paste and write one line retorts lol.

            It’s like you cannot be creative for more than a few posts at the start, then everything just goes downhill from there.

          43. You know you’re acting just like the last guy, in which you post random, nonsensical and cryptic phrases.

    2. I’m not Souls fan, but this game is already easy as hell, even on nightmare it’s no challenge. I won’t be surprised if there won’t be any zombies at all in the whole game, or better yet, the game will play by itself.
