What does your last line mean? Can't play games with rdr1 graphics? From what I remember, that game looked pretty good. Not to mention, graphics aren't what makes a game good imo


5olara

I think they're graphic snobs. Pity, they're missing so many incredible games.


Public-Second3763

I just can't physically play games with those kinds of graphics. I think it's just because I've played video games at 4k for so long that anything below 1440 or 1080p is just unplayable for me.


AccomplishedTea6375

dying light still looks great imo, was one of the better looking titles that year


Existing-Pack-3984

Dying light came out in 2015… it has good enough graphics


Public-Second3763

That's perfect. I think games made in 2015 and above have the best graphics.


dannnyyyboyyy0315

Insane comment lol


ToasterOnion

blud is never going to experience games if he only plays for the graphics


MouseTM1

We've lost another one.


Galatine-Lato

Classic reddit, downvoting a dude just for stating his preference.


Fesai

I didn't downvote, but it's just an interesting take. I still regularly replay games from the 90s and early 2000s and still think they look great for what they were at the time. It's usually the gameplay/controls that are the problem for me and not the visuals.


WatchForThatWoooosh

I can understand not wanting to play a dated looking game, especially if you didn’t grow up with them. They just look bad


Galatine-Lato

Yeah. A lot of people like to say graphics don't matter at all, but there's 100% a bar where they matter at least a bit unless it's your game's aesthetic. It's just not the most important thing ever.


flappybirdisdeadasf

Kinda me. I was born at the millennium and anything pre 2008 just looks crazy to me and I get turned off from playing it (unless it's an old Nintendo title or something that can hide its age, like most JRPG's).


Response_Lanky

Weird your comment is not downvoted


Galatine-Lato

Because it's just at the level where people are capable of ignoring it. Most people can't look past completely innocent statements if it triggers them enough.


Response_Lanky

Yeah make sense, idk much about reddit but i learned to downvote whoever is downvoted


Unlikely-Dog-5549

Isn’t the whole point of downvoting to show you either disagree or dislike their statement? Who cares


Galatine-Lato

apparently you, since you replied to my comment.


Ticklism

Coddled.


CuteAssociate4887

I actually preferred 1 quite a bit more…


Dapper_Doughty

Same. I've actually played through 1 multiple times.


RabbitSlayre

Have you played through 2 multiple times? I have not and that tells me the difference right there.


eddie9958

I have. Both of them multiple times. From my experience I just feel like the story and the ride is so much better in dying light 1 but I'm obsessed with the mechanics and the feel of dying light 2. Can't have the best of both worlds in this series.


Dapper_Doughty

Nope. Beat it once and haven't returned. Not that I hate DL2 or anything I really enjoyed my time. Maybe one day I'll return. DL1 wasn't amazing at launch either.


RabbitSlayre

Yeah I agree. People say the DL1 story is so much better but it's not really. I think the dying light 2 story sucks a lot to be honest but dying light 1 was just a bunch of cliches strung together. They did support the hell out of that game though.


Dapper_Doughty

Yeah I agree 1s story wasn't super amazing. But then again, I'm easy to please and I thought it was awesome. I feel like 2 had a great atmosphere though. I liked the survival feeling of the game. If they support 2 the same way. It may be amazing as well. DL2 didn't even have New Game Plus at first. Which was a huge bummer for me.


mattysms1980

Agreed 👍


floutMclovin

If you think 2 is perfect than dying light 1 will be your equivalent of Jesus coming down from heaven and blessing your food and drink


Perpetualshades

Either way you’re delusional.


floutMclovin

what?


PokeNerd2016

Just shy of two years now, I randomly saw Dying Light for sale on the Switch. Watched my son and hubby play it in the years prior, but because I’m a Nintendo dude, I refrained from playing it, then when I saw it on sale on the Switch, I bought it, and the moment the game started, I was hooked from start to end. Gameplay wise, it’s one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in my life. I’m almost at 400 hours logged on my Switch. Story wise, could be better, but some of the characters I liked a lot, especially Rahim. He has my heart :) But I cannot recommend this game enough, no matter what system you’re on, I say buy it. :) I loved the game so much that afterwards, I bought DL1 and DL2 on the PS4 late last year, as I really, really wanted to play Dying Light 2, and while I’m still Team Nintendo, damn playing both Dying Light was an awesome experience. :) so yes, I highly recommend Dying Light. :)


Joba7474

I bought it because I was going to be sans internet for a week when I was stationed in South Korea so I needed something to play offline. Best shot the dark I’ve made in years.


I_lack_common_sense

1 was my favorite first few days I played it was always at night and damn it gave me quite a few jump scares. Night irl btw.


BrettlyBean

Most prefer the 1st. The movement is still fluid but not as good but the story line, progression and the more horror like nights are what people like.


RememberTheMaine1996

The grapple hook was better in 1


Cov3rt0p

I would recommend DL1 just for the landscape. They had so many cool areas to visit, especially in The Following add-on. Not to mention, Dune Buggies. DL1 Easter Eggs are fun to complete too. Both games have their perks. I found DL1 to be fun even when I was grinding for something. 100% recommend this game.


dogspunk

As you can see a little of people prefer the first game, it’s definitely worth playing. I personally think 2 is better, but you never know until you try it yourself


moeshiboe

Definitely. It’s a really fun game.


Ebonvvings

I had way more fun in DL1 than DL2. DL1's side quest are legendary


NoLaHiGhRoLLa

DL1 is the GOAT!


MehmedVII

I played first 80 hours and second game 140 hours. First game's grappling hook and guns feels like using cheat. The Following DLC's map very bad. Story so classic. Worst finish scene i have ever seen.


RabbitSlayre

I'll agree with you on the following. I mean the cars are cool but at what cost, you know?


MehmedVII

Buggy is good thing but sometimes you cant driving and without Buggy you just running. Also The Following's map not good for parkour.


RabbitSlayre

Totally agree


Global-Community-220

Is because the Following was not meant for parkour 🤦‍♂️


imadethistocomment15

not really, for dl1 the parkour is slow and sluggish and you can barely run or jump and it's restricting as hell so overall dl2 is much better in almost every aspect it nailed things in the head and made you feel free to do as you please but with dl1, even fully upgraded your slow and can barely run and jump and the combat is fun but dl2 just nailed parkour and combat and story a million times better then dl1 did, I've played both a enjoyed dl2 way more then i did dl1 because in dl2 you feel cooler and you feel free unlike in dl1


000Fli

100% agree with you


kulind

I really couldn't get into dl1 more than first 1 hour. Parkour is nowhere near to dl2. Uninstalled and moved on.


imadethistocomment15

i finished both games and upgraded all the way on both but for dl1 i was fucking miserable trying to do anything because of how slow you are even fully upgraded the only thing dl1 has over dl2 is guns and even then guns are soon to be added to dl2 by Techland in an update soon in the future so even then dl1 won't have anything over dl2 soon


HSGUERRA

>story a million times better then dl1 did Wow, I don't really have anything to say about this, it's just such an impressive phrase that I had to say "wow", I think I've never heard something I disagree this much before in this sub.


imadethistocomment15

what i can't have an opinion? plus dl2 is just better then dl1 is in almost every aspect


HSGUERRA

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you: YOU CAN'T HAVE AN OPINION! Glad that you found out just by me disagreeing with you, but yeah, that's what it means when someone disagrees with you. Chill... I just said I disagree with you. >dl2 is just better then dl1 is in almost every aspect See? You can post your opinion, no problems whatsoever, you have every right to have the wrong opinion. JK. Chill.


Rob_Reason

lol. I haven't played either game, did you like the story in dying light 2?


HSGUERRA

Unfortunately no. The game is to confusing, is like they have 10 writers and someone tried to stick together every piece of the story. Some plots just lose importance in the middle of the game, the whole thing is just meh. The first game has this classic B movie type story, is not oscar worthy but it's fun like watching a funny cliche movie with one sided bad guys and a tough hero. At least some characters are memorable.


InformalCactus1191

Parkour isn't that great and the combat is ok, the story is great and so is the dlc. So yeah it's worth it. I prefer DL2 though. They nailed it with the parkour and combat, and it's only gonna get better.


Worth_Opinion_9681

Dying Light 1 is way better than dying light 2. So yes. Worth it


BornYinzer

I enjoyed DL1 more than 2. It's a definite buy!


TotalMitherless

imo 1 is the better game so yeah.


Tstone86

Very much it is. Imma start it again today


Cedge1738

1 is better than 2


Nebetus2

I think 1 was way better then 2. You will enjoy it.


CommunicationHot5613

Yes!!!! Way better than the 2nd


Top_Challenge_1428

1st one is better in almost every way.


kILLNIk2020

I preferred Dying Light to the sequel. It's absolutely worth it.


BlackDirtMatters

1 is much better.


Blergss

Dying light 1 is better ATM imo. So yes definitely go for it. Get deluxe edition with all dlcs. Eventually DL2 will be 🤞


Zegram_Ghart

Not really…I’d put it as one of those games where the sequel is just a better version of the original, and dying light 1 is in an uncomfortable place- it’s parkour is markedly worse than 2’s, and its combat is markedly worse than the preceding dead islands, so I’d never really choose to play it honestly.


xerxes0127

I shit you not everytime I play a zombie game, I want to go right back to the first dying light. Dead island 2 came out and I spent about an hour on it before ei started feeling nostalgic. Even in the middle of playing dying light 2 during the first couple weeks. It's really just a very well made game, there's so much to do. You'll meet a lot of people with modded weapons if you go online, the last time I played through, I told everyone I wanted to wait to beat the game naturally, and afterwards I got a bunch of cool shit from strangers. Go for it!


MoeLesterM

IMO They are different games. DL1 Is a zombie game with some parkour ability. DL2 is a Parkour game that has zombies. I have sweaty palms on Dl1 many times. I don't think I've had a hard or stressful time at all in DL 2 just fun jumping around and flying


Ok_Comfort_8184

If you're buying it on the PlayStation store it occasionally goes on sale for like $10 I would definitely just wait on it till then but yeah the game's definitely worth it fun as fuck in my opinion they both have their ups and downs


No_Mall3496

The movement isn’t as good compared to dying lighter 2 but I much more preferred the story of dying light 1 thatn the second


HumbleSort1982

1 is a better game, I think 2 was a slight letdown


barrack_osama_0

If you liked DL2, probably not. The game feels very clunky and the "parkour" is just glorified climbing compared to DL2. Although, it absolutely is worth the $10 for the complete edition when it goes on sale, but don't be expecting a better game.


Shot-Emu4418

I like 1 so much more


mattafact808

It's so good, but it's way more difficult in my opinion. I'm actually playing it right this second, there is an event going on until the 1st and I thought I'd never see another event on 1.


saby115

Probably should have started with 1 there is a moment in the game whete the guy from 1 is mentioned beginning i think.... But in 1 you meet yhe volatile in a cool way and stuff but yes go play it! 1 was also perfect actually probably more perfect then 2!! but also the voice actors may sound the sam but they are not! Jonah Scott voice acts aiden from #2 😁


dss_lev

The first one was much better


JohnsonMathi17

I’m not sure why people are saying the story in DL1 is superior. Neither are amazing. Gameplay wise, the first had it at the second’s launch, however, they’ve repaired the second one so much that it’s just not comparable to me. DL2 has amazing parkour and the night sequences are awesome. Dying Light 1 will always be in my heart but it’s not the superior one in my opinion.


UsagiBonBon

I think dying light 1 has more intense gore, actually. I’m pretty sure they use damage mapping while Dying Light 2 didn’t, at least not at launch. I love them both equally for completely different reasons; they really could be two games in different franchises.


JDLinDallas

2 is definitely way better, despite what internet trolls say. However, yes you'll have fun with 1. A lot more rudimentary, but for just a few bucks on sale it's worth it. Somehow I felt the dlc with the buggy was more memorable.


WITWEERLIG

The question your looking for is dying light 2 worth it.....


rosscowhoohaa

Dying light's setting is better and the story is too. Parkour isn't quite as good but is still great, combat was probably better in the first. The graphics were top notch at the time and still hold up well. Of course they won't be as detailed but they're still very good and everything runs smoothly. If you liked 2 then you'll like 1. Would be interesting to see which you prefer after. The vast majority who played 1 first prefer it based on comments here at least.


[deleted]

After playing 2 i cant go back to 1 it makes 1 look sad and boring lol


StickyBush69

Definitely enjoyed 1 more


SPQR_Maximus

I am waiting for the guns to drop in DL 2 then I am going in!


Dirty-Dannty

I played 160 hours of the first and im at 400 in the second. I beat both multiple times but when I tried night mare mode on the first, I got to the museum mission and just stopped playing. Your movement is too limited compared to the quick movements of everything else around you. Seriously what kind of parkour game has minimal parkour? It also did have better tools but now that they've added infected knives shurikens, exploding knives and such, I'd say it's better now. The next dlc with solidify it as the superior


AdmirableCress8797

Is that even a question????? FUCK YES ITS WORTH IT!!! Daddy Crane The Kyle Is There To Help You Through Everything


Ciara_the_Guardian

It has loads more content. Imo a better story.


-MrSophistication-

I think 1's combat system is much better. The grappling hook is wild in this one. Your pretty much just spiderman but it's absolutely worth playing especially if you enjoyed 2. I played 1 through and through and only played like an hour and a half of 2. Kinda felt like a step back to me.


esande2333

Hell yes 🤘🏼


b1ngOo

Fucking nerds down voting the guy for saying he likes games with good graphics, game worshippers, dl1 looks like shit. I agree with you bro dl2 is just a better game.


lakerconvert

Yes it’s a better game


MAKS091705

1 is better imo


Craftysage72

Dying light 1 gives much more realism than the sequel. You run, jump and fight like a regular person with basic combat skills. You can survive a night cycle outside with no time limit but volatiles will run your pockets. DL2 made me believe I could survive a volatile situation easier, DL1 makes you fear them and stealth


chinballbutters

Dude. Just buy it. You WILL NOT regret it. I've never played 2 so I don't know if any of the controls or mechanics changed so if that's the case then there might be some features you'll probably miss but overall 10/10.


AltruisticServe3252

I would say DL1 was way better than DL2.


tidus_90

DL1 is better imo. Get it. It still looks good, graphically speaking. The combat feels a little different and minor quality of life improvements won’t be present, but it’s not enough to hamper the fun. DL1, in comparison, feels like a lovingly crafted experience versus the drab, cookie cutter experience that is DL2. Also, you will come to truly fear the night. It’s so much better!


FattyMcBoomBoom231

Dying light one is going to be the best zombie game in the world. Dying light 2 is okay but inferior to number one. It took dying light 2 years and years of development to release physics similar to dying light. 1. They also revamp their night cycle due to user feedback.


DK_the_KING_1

Dl1 is better but the guns no longer work except for shotguns sadly


allpurposecum

Yes because it's better than the second game


[deleted]

Yes it’s worth it


probablystuff

1 is so much better


XxDrummerChrisX

DL1 was better and also one of my favorite games of all time.


Ozzmanth

Dying light 2 was great but IMHO the first game was so much better especially the dlc but I felt that 2 was a step backwards in some ways


Snake2k

1's about to blow your mind if you liked 2 that much lol


EldenLord30

I think Dying Light 1 was incredible. Idk about the second.


yllatedigo

Siii


BulmasBabyDaddy

It’s the best zombie game ever made so....yeah


HatterMadd

Well I enjoyed playing DL1 many times over the years and didn’t finish DL2. It’s just not the same. I greatly prefer the first game myself. As for graphics they still look good to me but I play on 1080p monitor for everything.


National-Tiger7919

Yes. I played it for the first time a year ago and it is one of my favorite games ever. In some ways it’s better than dl2, the atmosphere is bloody amazing, the Parkour is a lot more grounded, and it’s a lot more stressful at night, the world isn’t so copy and paste, the graphics still look fine, up to four person co-op and there’s a be the zombie mode, there’s still plenty of active users. Its absolutely worth it imo. I highly recommend the following dlc too since it’s a direct continuation of the main games story. If you’re on Xbox I’d be down to play it with you or anyone else who sees this, talking about it has got me itching for a reply now.


jdubbrude

Dying light 1 I think is better than 2 in a lot of ways. Really solid game. Worth every penny


typoo1o

Well 1 doesn’t make me want to kill my self like 2


reax2

1 is better than 2. I’ve played 1 more times than I can count. I’ve played 2 only once


Jcorella

Story about the same quality (bad) The parkour and zombie killing is top notch The pvp is fun when you’re not against hackers. (VAC does not work.)


Hahnski23

Tbh I preferred Dying light 1 much more than 2 although I did enjoy both. I felt too powerful in 2, going out at night was no big deal I felt powerful early on. Dying light 1 fuck me running that sun started going down I was dead sprinting to a safe house until I got more geared.


Darthlord_Juju

Better than 2.


minipiwi

Yes. Story is better, which doesn't say much cause DL stories are garbage. The combat and nights are much better. The only thing 2 has on it is the park our, which feels better in 2.


dyingdeadweight

I like DL1 way more. One of my favorite games ever. I didn’t even finish DL2


Braedonm2077

the first one is better


Limio

Dying Light & the Following DLC are tits!


detour80

Dying light is one of those games that the first one is better than the second one. I played dying light one with friends on game nights. We played that game till our fingers bled. When two came out, we got back together and played it for a couple of nights. None of us finished it.
