My co-op group is running through this now and overall we are pretty pleased. We don’t do a ton of the side quests because of the stupid requirement that we all join the conversation to pick up a quest. Truthfully, I don’t miss it too much. We also all really like the parkour for the most part, especially now that we’re in the second area. We’re starting to get grappling hooks, which seems to simplify a lot of things but it’s still fun.
I personally really hate the first person melee combat and am thankful that guns seem like a regular option for me now. I actually really like the parkour kind of attacks, leaping off heads, drop kicks, running by throwing the people’s elbow, breaking legs with a slide… but when it comes time to just whack a mole, I really dislike it. I kind of hope a future dying light allows for at least pistols right off the bat to complement the parkour moves and attacks, letting me skip the melee. This isn’t unique to Dying Light, though, I just genuinely despise first person melee. In elder scrolls games, I only use a bow or maybe some magic spells. I use a melee weapon only when left with no choice.
Really solid game, getting a lot of fun out of this one.
Smiley face aside, people have been asking about it, and Techland did respond.

Yes they will. It doesn’t change a thing. The Following will be free for all season pass holders.
…so i was playing fallout 4 and thought, i really really liked Dying Light, Imagine if Fallout 4 used Dying Lights gameplay (the parkour stuff)…
Dying Light GoTY 2015! underrated imo. and has great drop in and out multiplayer. plus nothing beats the running and jumping in DyinG light its to DIE for ahahahahahahaha!
If Fallout had writing quality of Witcher and gameplay/movement quality of Dying Light, it would be in the running for the Best Game Ever ™, alongside Witcher 3.
Techland thinks The Following DLC is good/big enough to charge more for. DLC/Season Pass price is going up on Dec 8th, so if you don’t have it and you want it, you may want to pick it up soon.
