I love the first Dying Light. Kyle Crane is such an icon. The attitude, the parkour. It is intoxicating to play as Crane.
In Dying Light two, the developer for no reason replaced him with a generic unmemorable young man. Many fans are disappointed.
Now, they are back to the original formula. I am excited again for the series

I am sorry but Kyle Crane was a really bland character as well, I think in most of everyone thinks so as well. I don’t think I have every seen a opinion/review that actually praised the main character or story of the first game.
And mind you, Dying Light 1 is one of my favourite games of all time.Maybe I am just noticing it more these days (see: Wuchang) but holy crap are the community manager originated “talking points” so ridiculously transparent while also being disturbingly effective.
Ain’t NOBODY ever gave a shit about Kyle Crane. That is right up there with “The Iconic Hayden Pierce’s Hat” in the ubi-verse.
That said: I would like it to be good but I still think 2’s biggest mistake (aside from the hilariously bad story which… 1 wasn’t much better) was that there just isn’t that much water in the “parkour around zombie city” genre and all that wingsuits added was another case of being frustrated when we couldn’t do something we should be able to do (the grappling hook in 1 had similar problems). And apparently they are going for 18 hours of story in Beast? That… is a bold move.
Sad that it got delayed but I have high hopes.
I love dying light. Played first one till the end. Nearly played the second one till the end and now this! :D Only sad part is that the company TenCent managed to grab this game and is sadly infecting it with some ‘enshittification’. Hope tencent will leave them be in the future
What is endshittafication? You mean spyware? Tenent is a contest company. I won’t be surprised if it is mandated by mainland China to have their software companies install bots in their app.
There is a Wikipedia page that explains what it is!
The writer for dying light was let go for good reason and he was the main talent. This is why dying light two was so plain story wise because the replacement writer wasn’t up to the task.
No reason to hype that the beast writer is up to the task also. Only time will tell.
This libel suit was settled in March 2023, with a settlement that “provides for a seven-figure payment” from the accusers to Avellone. Concurrently the two accusers retracted their original accusations, stating that “Mr. Avellone never sexually abused either of us,” and that “We have no knowledge that he has ever sexually abused any women.” They also claimed in the same statement that their previous public statements with regards to Avellone had been “misinterpreted”.
