I've done a fourth of the story missions and it's gotten no better

imagine being this shit at videogames

I know right lol

I actually loved the game, but it gave me motion sickness. No game has ever done that to me.

Git gud

Sounds to me this op guy is a faggot.

The only issue I had was that at the beginning it took forever just to kill a single zombie, so that I felt discouraged from engaging in combat so I never got any better at it. Plus they shouldn't have locked the grappling hook behind a skill tree.

It sounds like you may have some sort of mental disability. Maybe stick to flash games user

im sorry but you're retarded

OP theres a place for people like you its called google appstore, there are lots of games that you will enjoy and you do not have to pay anything for them, you will love it.
They are very easy by the way.

I enjoyed the game but think the open world tropes hold it back.

Section about going fast? Better stop every 5 seconds because you're running past useful weapons/supplies
Section supposed to be spooky? Better break your immersion every 5 seconds by using the item pulse, can't miss out on useful weapons/supplies
Story section got intense music and panic over the radio? Nah I'll just help this crazy guy who dropped his shit in the lake on my way.

It got to the point where I was basically forcing myself to play 'sub-optimally' just so the entire game and flow wasn't ruined by this shit which infects every game with big levels.

I don't think it's a question of gitting gud, the starting weapons are just absolute trash. Combat didn't stop being unbearable until like 6 hours into the story.

>Section about going fast? Better stop every 5 seconds because you're running past useful weapons/supplies
YOU ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT VOLUNTARY THINGS
KILL YOURSELF

well the thing is you're not meant to be killing loads of zombies at the start. A lot of it is freerunning away from them. Obviously once you have really good weapons and some guns then it's easy to kill them but parkouring around and away from zombies is still the main aspect

4 years later and people still complaing about this generic retard zombie game.

Again, there are running games on google appstore that will fit your taste for games where the world is reduced into a straight line to the objective and you can collect your stuff by running, you just have to tap on screen to switch to the correct, preferable path, most of the times all paths takes you to the objective so its never annoying.

But they're not optional if you're going to be fucked over by not doing them

It's like claiming you can just disable quest markers if you don't like them, like fuck you can if a developer didn't properly account for that.

Then don't make escort missions early on where you have to fight loads of them, or even those huge dudes.

Around Halloween they turned off fall damage and super buffed the grappling hook. It was magical.

You don't have to do escort mission early on, those escort missions scattered around can be done at any time. The only missions you had to do were story and none of them were escort

You will not get fucked for leaving anything behind if you get good, i finished the game using barehands no hope on nightmare mode, if you are not autistic you can do it, but i guess for you its easier to blame devs for putting 'distractions on your path' after all, your kind can't not get distracted right?

The game is really hard in the beginning before unlocking the day/night cycle, no way to farm medkits easily before that.

>need to kill group of humans early on to advance the story
>all my weapons are broken or total shit with no way of getting new ones
>get instantly gangraped when i try to fight them, every time

great game

But you don't know they aren't worth the effort until you've done some.

>being this bad

Just don't do them if you find them hard at the start. Wait till you have better gear. Is it hard to just logically think about it?

hurr durr i know Sup Forums has always been retarded but 2017 Sup Forums is really setting a new low

>this game can't possible be flawed, you just suck at video games

fuck outta here

I had no problems playing the game, if you think tactically and kill one human and then get his gun and pick off the other two it's easy.
You did know you could make firecrackers that can lure enemies over, right user?

Ow no! a dark night! who could've suspected this?

they are set up in a tiny fenced in area so there's really no way to separate one from the pack, lure over zombies or use any sort of strategy to defeat them. it's a straight up, stupid, gear check at a point in the game where decent gear is nonexistent

I'm not saying I had to do them, I'm critiquing an aspect of the game. I don't think we're allowed dissenting opinions in this thread though.

>doesn't have materials to make firecrackers

>not looting stores, houses and zombies you kill

>I suck so it must be bad!

>being bad at dying light
must suck to be retarded lol

You're just shit that game is actually fun as fuck.

Jade specifically tells you to avoid them because they will fuck you up (which is the point so early in the game) and you fight, lose and then whine about it? Jesus christ.

I'm at a point in the game (about 25% of story done) where I have to kill these 3 guys, one of them has a gun and I have 0 medkits and 20 hp. If I could even see the guys (it's nighttime) then I wouldn't be able to take them down with my molotov (only way to easily take down human enemies so far) because when I tried to craft them they promptly disappeared from my inventory

Never played it, but it sounds like you're conplaining about general mechanics.

He's complaining about how he plays like a retard

how are you struggling with this fucking game? it gets even easier in the second city when guns are everywhere

wow someones mad

humans are only trouble until that one mission you do for Rais where you can get an assault rifle from the military guy inside the tankstation near your objective

you should learn how to melee fight humans though, otherwise the final boss is gonna give you alot of trouble

it literally is
i tried for a while and gave up
opened a ticket calling devs gay niggers
now they are developing a farming game LMAO

imagine writing all that when all of them translate to
>i'm terrible at video games

I only have 1 problem with this game: you cannot stealth kill volatiles. I just want to run around at night with my crossbow one shotting shit and staying sneaky. Even if you headshot one hit kill a volatile, any others in the area go red and start chasing you with a wanted level. There is no stealth. It's a sham.

Find a gun and aim for the head.

Have you tried killing them?

You cheeky fuck

the game was infuriating for me until I got the knee kick skill. I played in the hardest difficulty.

Then it got a lot more bearable. For a good 60% of the game my strategy was to just break everyone's knees and then stomp their heads. Even worked on humans if you were quick about it.

Medikits were a pain in the ass to get until I found a pharmacy that you could only enter from the top. Shitloads of gauze there, and it was also 100% volatile proof. I remember aggroing tons of them and just throwing explosives over the windows at night, getting shittons of XP.

The Following is where the nightmare returned since there was no way to LoS the volatiles and the buggy is made of paper mache

I remember this. You really need to cheese that fight with explosives. Find gas tanks and shit and use throwing stars to detonate them from afar. It isn't fun if you don't have a gun.

It's one of the few games where skill trees take a back seat to how familiar you are with the game.
Seriously, I have a character with developer weapons but I guarantee if I tried to play it now years later I'd die in 10 minutes.
That being said, seriously just get better. The combat is fun, I used to get side tracked and fuck around curb stomping zombies for an hour. The only real bullshit is fighting humans who all double as Bruce Lee on the weekends and have the reaction timing of spiderman

some skills really cheese the game though

Camouflage + stealth kill absolutely breaks the main game. The skill that allows you to use enemies to jump + skill that allows you to instakill a target while falling means that all human encounters with no firearms are just a speedbump.

Also, a bit later in the game, getting the higher level bow and the legend bow damage increase means you can one shot the fat guys. Saves you a bunch of trouble.

I deserve that fucking bow because that DLC trial was a pain in the ass
