yea I'm actually pretty hype for more Dying Light, really fun take on the zombie horde stuff and all, but zero of my hype comes from writing skill so boy does 'we wrote SO MANY WORDS' do nothing for me

Dying Light 1 had pretty solid gameplay (especially in co-op) but absolutely laughable writing. Like it was just comically bad. Like you had the main character being amazed that the guy he just saw mutilating and killing people for fun, would betray him!!!!! and similar idiotic poo poo, as well as the most pretentious fuckup of a main antagonist I've ever had a game expect me to take seriously.

Being told that Dying Light 2 has tons of dialogue just tells me I'll be skipping tons of dialogue.

Just treat like a Rocky Horror or MST3K movie. Bad games can be made better with booze and yelling at the morons on screen.

Like I'm doing with Halo where they have an awesome combat Pelican in 4 which would have come in mighty bloody handy like anytime before.

I finished the single player campaign of Halo Infinite and went "that ruled can I get some more" and you can just keep tootling around in the overworld, finishing off the bases you didn't capture as you were going along. It's great.


I found running around in the open world tackling the sidemission bases was way more fun than a lot of the actual plot corridoor shooter missions.

Grass has to be clipped to under a couple inches so you're breaking the law if you want to grow native sweetgrass. It's bonkers

Ridiculous. Gimme 30 grams of coke and some water stops and I'll die before getting to Frankfurt no problem, 204 hours or fewer.

Realistically they're just aiming for engagement on walking speeds of all things. Amazing.

I got dying light to play a fun parkour game and 45 minutes in I finally hit the babby's first parkour section and then got dumped back into yet another corridor and then I refunded it.

Dying Light is probably the best zombie killing game out there that isn’t primarily a co-op shooter. Bad writing almost feel like a staple of that whole genre of games tho.

Left 4 Dead had some good writing. That was written by Chet Faliszek. His company just released a similar type of coop game called The Anacrusis. I bet that's pretty fun too.

Just looked it up, and yeah, people were sending dick pics via Uno for Xbox 360.

Yeah me and some friends would play together in high school and we sort of stopped after we matched with a shirtless middle aged guy. During the match he stood up and he was completely nude and aroused.

That's gross. I remember being a dumbass freshman going on like, Omegle and ChatRoulette and stuff, with dudes pulling their hogs out. At least then, it was like "Lol, wanna go on the weird webcam site", versus just...playing a video game and being made to see that poo poo.

Get this, there are two groups of survivors! You're group are the good guys, the other group are the mean bad guys! The bad guys have what you need, so you gotta fight them to get it!

People in your group make the dumbest possible decisions and end up dead!

It's the same plot as literally every zombie media ever.
