they have a mix of tank and charger combined, looks like the concept team was made majorly of Indians, they copied all concepts and ideas and converted them into one.

And thats why I am not very exited. Many games have tried to take the best from many games and incorporate into single but they failed. :|

The only thing that can save this game from a flop, is adding the RPG elements. A zombie game without RPG elements can be boring.

Re: Far Cry 4

Big, more gameplay even after completing mission, Excellent graphics and audio. Few things might looks/seems repetitive. All the location discovery makes different but sometimes feels bored. Overall game and storyline are worth playing even if you played or not played fc3

BTW there are decision making in between main mission which can help you extend the gameplay more

Got Dying Light. FC4 is a little over the budget. I liked the gameplay video. I have FC3 but never completed it because of that crap Uplay.

Hunters are special type of zombies, like bloodsucker, but they can close in the distance between you and them pretty fast. You cannot outrun once seen by them. Have to use tactics, UV light and other sort of distractions and evade the pursuit.

Waah, now it seems interesting.
One more thing, when players invade as hunters, how does that work exactly? When a new game is started, does it asks us to choose human/ hunter ? OR anyone can join game as hunter at any point of time when its night time?

And its 50$ right? I gotta wait for a sale then since recently purchased GTA 5

Zombie mode has different save file than single player . Its a separate mode apart from Single player . So you can play both whenever you want . Zombie mode is similar to Watch Dog Multiplayer . you invade other people game or someone invade your single player session . Its very fun 4vs1 mode .

It's 999 on FK and Amazon. No need to shell out $50.

Anyone can join as hunter in your world to hunt you down. You can set the time of day , frequency of day and other parameter for invasions. The objective is to destroy hunter's nest. I just played once.

Yeah, multilayer co-op 4 people. But it's good as singleplayer due to awesome gameplay.

What settings and FPS for you in 560Ti, and at approx what % your view distance it set?
View distance is the major FPS dropper in this game

I am also using 560ti . Setting is medium-high with medium draw distance @1080p . Game looks awesome visually . Probably the best looking zombie game . Performance is definitely improved with the newest patch released few days ago .


Also look like vehicle is coming in the game . Cant wait :D

yep Coop is very much fun if you play with 3 other friends . The parkour system is awesome (like mirror edge) and you can kill enemies in no of unique ways which makes the game much more fun and interesting . Also the unlock system is really cool .

Agreed. Surviving a cold black night with three others, chased, hunted by spotters and hunters while raining, running and climbing to find a safehouse! Awesome thrill.

You will see that your free running skills will get seamless once you unlock and upgrade the perks. The game gets so much a free running experience later.

Good luck, good night, for the initial levels :lol:

its running quite good on my 960 with med details. on high, it feels quite a lot choppy. :\

yes, while starting out in the open after the safe house, it is extremely difficult to free run seamlessly. a lot like when starting out with Assassin's Creed for the first time; not finding ways to get to rooftops, falling down from rooftops, not finding pathways between two roofs etc etc.

960 is high end card. Are you playing on 1080p ?
Post the details of setting.

Main quest. Side quests. And you can free roam anytime over entire map. There are quarantine zones where you can enter and fight. There are hidden tunnels infested with different zombies.

At the end when you get to the last mission, the game tells you that there is no turning point after that. So you can pretty much delay the last mission until you have done other things in the game.

Watch a gameplay video. Nights are scary. Days not so.

Dying Light's The Following expansion will launch 9th February 2016, Polish developer Techland has announced, alongside - as well as included within - a newly unveiled Enhanced Edition of the game. This is for all three formats: PC, PS4, Xbox One.

The Enhanced Edition does what a Game of the Year Edition would typically do - bundle the game and all downloadable content - but with added relish. The enhancements and added extras apparently took half-a-year to create.

The enhancements include:

Nightmare difficulty setting
Legend system
Bounties system
New Parkour moves
New enemy attacks and behaviours
Enhanced facial expressions
New NPC models
Improved human enemy AI
Improved volatile AI
Greater firearm variety
HUD and video filter customisations
Audio upgrades
Gameplay quality improvements
Console performance upgrades
Overall game look and feel improvements
#DrinkForDLC Content
Those enhancements are available to any one who owns the game. You'll be able to download them as a patch if you own the game already, or they'll come with the Enhanced Edition itself - it would be jolly strange if they did not.

Also included in the Enhanced Edition are DLCs The Following, The Bozak Horde mode, the Be the Zombie mode, the Cuisine & Cargo challenge missions, the Ultimate Survivor Bundle, and all the content updates released to date. It's a $60 game, so a full-priced game.

The Following expansion is available either alone or as part of the Season Pass, which will be raised in price to £24 on 8th December. Currently it's £16. Techland announced its intention to up the price about a week ago, explaining that The Following had grown so large it required a bigger price. Alternatively you can buy The Following alone for £16.

The Following introduces drivable buggies to the game, which can be murderously modified and full-throttled around a giant new map that's the same size as Dying Light's current maps combined, apparently. See it in the trailer below.

Dying Light came out at the very beginning of 2015. Made by the team who brought us Dead Island, it presented a familiar premise: co-operative zombie slaying, albeit this time with Parkour - free-running - manoeuvrability. It was a bit scruffy back then but after nearly a year of updates it's in better shape.
