Techland finally came up with a reply to some burning questions players themselves have asked around Dying Light: The Following – Enhanced Edition. And with the tweet being such a short, 140-character response, the replies were an adrenaline-filled ride ranging from hype, disappointment, to total confusion.
Physical releases first. Gamers ARE BEGGING for it. Letter-by-letter begging, really, so to complement that let me throw all the crying emojis at you! Hollow JK Strife screeched at the top of his lungs, “PHYSICAL RELEASE PLEASEEEEEEEE 😭,” and you feel that vibe, right? The_Play_Lord and Miguel_Tavora decided to join the chorus in asking about the physical version because it just gives some people that nice intoxicating feeling of holding a disc in their very own hands. Fellow gamers, but from Techland, no official announcement… so fingers crossed?
Then comes the edition debate. Dynamite__dj and HeisenbergH69 want to know if they are going to get Deluxe or only Standard Edition for The Beast. Meanwhile, CaprisunDealer (which is an iconic name, by the way) doesn’t really know the way to upgrade to Ultimate Edition, while TheGyattFather wants to know if its launch-day Collector’s Edition will get them The Beast for free. But CrazyJay83 said, “No,” and, honestly, it hurts.
Another hot topic is crossplay. GogetaBlue🇲🇽 barely said, “Will there be cross play?” And it is a question worthy to be asked. Since everything depends on multiplayer within Dying Light, allowing players to join each other across platforms will surely turn the tide for the game. Meanwhile, again, no word from the devs.
And then comes The chaos of Dying Light 2. BobbyMcgargoyle inquired why Techland would even consider bringing The Following onto last-gen consoles when DL2 is still, in their wording, “a broken shit show on PS4.” Oof. Dr. Gorgeous (same guy) even warned Rain_skullboy to think twice before purchasing it. Yikes. Not a good look for the sequel.
Have I said it is all doom and gloom? Mad Man is out scamming life with the tweet, “I can’t stop playing Dying Light 1 and 2. I’m obsessed with this game.” Same, dude. Same. And AltShiftKill just threw in a chill “oh, nice! cheers!” because it’s important to say thanks to little things sometimes.
We shall never forget those random hilarious moments. Like when pr0tti and tiger135stra started roasting the game back in Portuguese calling it “Dying light the bosta” (which translates as something along “Dying Light the crap”). Or when Hu990099 got sidetracked into talking about Harper’s red lightning sword being the strongest, which… okay?
So, Techland‘s tweet opened up the floodgates and the players are NOT holding back. Whether asking for that physical copy or bitching about the state of DL2 or just vibing with the game, the Dying Light community has always been passionate. Hopefully, Techland will just keep hearing the cry—and might throw a couple more answers their way soon.
