Never going to stop patching this are they, I like that. Very Happy

...Who the hell uses a Zweihander (= "TwoHander") and a shield though. Razz


Big Peter?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_Gerlofs_Donia

He (Supposedly.) had something like this though.


All you zombie motherfuckers going to be on the end of my COMPENSATOR!
...Not quite a regular Zweihander though.

...Game version looks more like a Zweiberge or Flamhander anyway as a half-half Zweihander half-half Flamberge. Very Happy



EDIT: So what did the patch do anyway? In-between Big Pierre and what not.

Nov 27th is it?

Borderless Window Option for Windows PC - you can now play Dying Light in borderless mode. You will find this option in Options -> Video -> Turn Off Full Screen -> Borderless Window
We fixed crash on drop attack on Linux and Mac
We improved the overall stability of the game




EDIT: Also don't use the horse-kebaber sized sword in a enclosed environment and where speed is important remember Dark Souls 3, FUCK ALL THOSE OTHER SWORDS AND GO FOR THE SMALL STRAIGHT BLADES.


Something like that, DPS race really.

Or just use a gun what is this the 1000's or the 2000's heh.

More seriously though the flaily dead-but-not-quite-actually-infected really get kinda flaily so DPS just works in this game and bigger things tend to work a bit less so even if a hit is quite impressive when it does land.



To say nothing of the expansion, from the mildly annoying dead to the coffee withdrawal symptom dead just being ridiculous.
(They kinda have a type of runner zombies called Bolters though those mostly flee but that doesn't mean every single undead need to be Usain the Bolter..)

Rapiers pierce nicely from my knowledge on it but it's a different fencing form though then video game flail like a action movie hero and real life utilization differs a bit.

Think the idea was to wave it around and spin or use moves to effectively handle offense and defense including somewhat including momentum because the thing is quite heavy but it also ensures nobody closes in as long as the wielder can keep spinning around and using both the blade and the grip in various techniques.

Shit gets real though end them rightly. Very Happy
(Unscrew pommel, toss, count down from 3 and boom...or perhaps not.)

EDIT: Which yeah some wannabe rich dude in real fancy plate including knob extender poke the joints or the visor (Owie.) where the rapier does real good and then exchange for fat cash in ransoming. (Poor people had poor armor, richer guys had stuff like mounts and plate though some backed it up by also being skilled instead of just inheriting the knightly position through inb...political marriage.)


EDIT: Game won't really let players do any fancy sword stuff though, swing and hope for the best and that tank and other armored opponents just wear out durability while tanking all the damage until you can open up the armor and switch to something else and hit the exposed areas. Razz

With the occasional slowdown effect for decapitations and breaks though it feels a bit toned down from Dying Light heh.
(But better balanced and leg crits no longer instantly kill zombies due to lack of crawling animations.)


EDIT: Thinking about it though...



I'm sure it looks virile and manly as all hell but there's no glancing or deflecting it just absorbs all he impact right on the dongle.

Chop goes the salami as a result of a solid blow to that!
(So in he middle ages the art of the tuck...was vital as fuck. )

The fancier suits were mostly parade or ceremonial though unless the Big Fat aka the King decides to stroll about on the battlefield.



EDIT: Then again armor and weapon development kinda goes hand in hand.
From the Roman chain and leather to the Lorica and then this Falcatha thing just lopping right through it towards the bronze age and early iron age and then Denmark had this overly large bearded axe thing.

Bit back and forth and then ballistic fun with longbows and crossbows before some arse ruined plate by introducing gunpowder though the helmet and chest plate designs persisted even if the full thing was a bit of a hindrance to the point and click of a flintlock and later wheel lock and full rifle groups.
(And early unstable highly explosives cannons and mortars when not tested against castle walls or other fortifications.)

What does the game use anyway now again.

Let's see various knives mostly and kukris and some later axes and machetes I think with some replica swords and the bigger two handers but it doesn't hold up very well because the speed problem slowing attacks and getting countered or mobbed is a big thing.

Then the expansion and DLC adds a bunch of the usual popular glowy and gold plated stuff. Razz

Don't really recall what the end game melee weapons were but probably some general orange tier blades and crafted stuff for varying damage types against the bigger opponents and mini boss encounters.

Plus guns and the higher levels and later encounters allow for a better supply of ammo even if it remains scarce and a bit valuable to use against the basic fodder types.

EDIT: With Dying Light mixing in some additional move types and abilities though also focused on the ever omnipotent mighty foot and kicking ability of sending stuff off tall places or into sharp objects.
(Combo for a nice XP boost.)

Though Dead Island was mainly just flailing for how the basic combat animations were various sweeping moves and looking kinda silly although the fully 8-directional combat possibility had it's moments when it actually did work as intended.
(Oh no it's a thug and there goes both arms and it's less of a hassle though this was nerfed in Dying Light and the thug is less easily "dis-armed" to call it that.)


EDIT: Well I barely remember much of the gameplay and those details on the combat stuff at least in any better detail.

Nice to see Techland keeping support even years later though and that also bodes well for how the sequel will be supported once it's released. Smile

Finished and refunded on Steam. Very mixed feelings about this game, it was a grind near the end. Going all the time from one end of the map to the other. Story was acceptable for this kind of game but nothing specacular. The side quests were all mostly the same so after doing 10 of them I stopped bothering with it. Such a shame there weren't any choices to be made.

I also found the voice acting of the main character was a bit unbelievable at times (other characters were OK). Killing zombies was very fun at the beginning but after a few hours that was seen and repetitive. The loot drops were horrible, played with the same upgraded wrench since level 5 I think Oh and picking locks was OK for 10 crates, after 100 crates

The Following DLC wasn't great I think, the story was very thin and artifically lengthened, the buggy was nearly unplayable in first person (downloaded third person mod later).

I'd give the game (with the DLC) a 7ish on the low side, currently holds 9.3 on Steam (or 9.6 recent). Nah Razz

PC: Yes. Console: No.

I use Steam almost only in offline mode (which doesn't track games' playtime) Razz Steam starts about 20 times faster and it doesn't require me to sign in every time with my password and 2FA (that's happening to me for a few years now).

don't bother with 2fa and put steam on auto-sign in, even if someone breaks into your steam account, they still require e-mail access for the new machine anyway.

although i'm surprised someone would actually bother to play through an entire game like dying light and then refund it Laughing game was spectacular in coop, just wish that vr implementation in it was finished!

+1

Dying light is seriously overrated and it's a shame they cancelled Hellraid and decided to focus their attention and resources on this game.

But hey, it's understandable. Zombie crap is extremely popular and it sells. thanx to the walking dead. Laughing

Oh, so fraud Laughing This is worse than pirating because you waste their time and money on accounting and processing fees...

Jeez that's enough internet for today


And you also ruin the good will of Steam allowing us to have easy refunds.

I wouldn't have finished it otherwise but have it instead refunded within the 2 hour slot, so there's no difference (except downloading a yarr copy afterwards but even that I probably wouldn't have).

I'm no "refunder" on Steam at all, I've only refunded a total of 2 games. This game and This War Of Mine on ~11500 games in library

PC: Yes. Console: No.

I don't think so, some enemies are bastards that can one-hit kill you, like the freaking "witches" with fireballs. Also some waves of enemies are difficult to defeat, with a lot of enraged zombies, skeletons and minibosses. The initial weapons are weak so you have to play the level several times to unlock weapons with better stats.

I like this type of medieval fantasy setting but this is merely a snack, is not enough to ease my itch for an Hexen-Heretic-like game.

Had to play through 4 times before weapons were good enough to get through to the end and defeat the minotaur. 4th run took about an hour. I tried playing again but it seems to be the thing all over again so is that all there is? No content after that? Got a nice legendary axe and can get all the weapons for use in Dying Light which is cool as I'm about 20 hours in on a new playthrough. Considering Hellraid was meant to be a new game though, this DLC is pretty disappointing Sad

Also the medikit is replaced by health potions in Hellraid but when low on health it tells you to use a medikit lol. Surely they could have changed it for Hellraid? Its a bit immersion-breaking Sad

May the NFOrce be with you always.

I think the correct amount of games was 10 times more than what you wrote - as in 11500.

shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
