We've been surrounded by damn zombies for hours. What do you mean, "What the?" Is the complete sentence "What the hell is that?" You know what that is. In another cutscene, something begins pounding on a heavy steel door. What a dope he is, our Aiden, in cutscenes. Aiden seems unsure if it's a zombie scream, despite living in a zombie apocalypse for his entire life, and decides to "go check it out" leading to a very unpleasant situation. There is a horrifying zombie scream from somewhere in the tunnel.
At one point, while traveling through a dark, spooky tunnel with a companion, we stop and chat and a cutscene begins. Stop being flat-footed in conversations with masked psychopaths.Īll the sucker-punching to Aiden's clueless face ties into the final crime of Dying Light 2's cutscenes: Aiden acting like he has no idea what a zombie is.
AIDEN DYING LIGHT FREE
You spend all of your free time moving, it's the only reason you're still alive. Why the hell did you just take that punch? It happens again and again, Aiden talking to known enemies and the scene ending with the guy delivering a haymaker into Aiden's gobsmacked mug. What are you doing, Aiden? You have a dodge skill. But Aiden stands there in that cutscene until the giant bird man punches him in the face. (Which also made me laugh.) They threaten me, I threaten them, and this is very clearly going to result in a battle to the death. At one point after repairing an electrical station, three renegades walk in, one dressed as an enormous bird. These are people who are by default hostile, and while that doesn't mean a conversation between us shouldn't happen, it does mean that Aiden should know the encounter is going to end with a bloody brawl. When talking to bandits and renegades, for instance. I can accept that.īut there are far more times where Aiden's guard should be up. Depending on the dialogue choices you make, a conversation can abruptly turn from friendly to threatening, and the scene might end with a character delivering a punch to Aiden's chops, followed by a fight.
AIDEN DYING LIGHT FULL
Dying Light 2 is full of NPC betrayals and story twists, and it's not uncommon that a seemingly friendly NPC will suddenly reveal themselves to be a scoundrel.
On several occasions he simply passes out.Ī few of the sucker-punches are legit. A zombie knocks him off a building and a crate lands on his head. I was counting at one point and I lost track at around six or seven knockouts. And boy howdy does our hero Aiden get knocked out a lot in cutscenes. Much as I enjoyed Dying Light 2's free-form parkour and crunchy combat, I didn't care much for the story, and that story is told through a lot of cutscenes. Usually, you wake up groggily somewhere else, often with a villain peering down at you, ready to monologue. And then a cutscene comes along and whammo-someone bonks you on the noggin with the butt of a rifle or kicks you in the head with a booted foot and you're knocked unconscious, despite the fact that you've taken far more damage in dozens of battles.
