Entire list in thread. This is stupid.
I am now forever going to dread whenever Techland announces updates to a game. Including DLTB, because why WOULDN'T they start gutting that one, too.
@DyingLightGame Restore the opening intro. Idk who you all were trying to cater to, but it definitely wasn’t true fans of the game. Butchering the beginning of a game to get you excited and invested in the world and characters is a huge mistake and oversight. What happened to you guys?
@DyingLightGame You removed Spike and the opening from the game. With Lawans Asian skin being on by default you have removed each black character from the game. Fuck you. Even the Sam B reference. Shits ridiculous. Who asked to remove the intro!?
@DyingLightGame YOU KILLED THE INTRODUCTION OF THE GAME AND HALF ASSED IT INTO OBLIVION????
THE VOICE ACTING IS ALL SCREWED UP TOO LIKE YOU TRIMMED IT OUT FROM DIFFERENT VOICE LINES???? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!
This is what they've done for context.
Prologue Changes:
The prologue now begins with an intro video and immediately skips to the safe house where Aiden talks to Dylan on the radio.
Around 30 minutes of early content has been removed, including:
Meeting Spike
Harran references and easter eggs
Conversations about the end of the world
Early parkour tutorials
The Banshee encounter
Aiden's nightmare dream sequence
Overall prologue length has been reduced by roughly an hour and now takes around 45 to 50 minutes.
The opening cutscene with Aiden collecting the radio now plays automatically without player input.
New zombies have been added to the early area and some mission objectives have changed.
After reaching the church, players must kill zombies and gather Honey and Chamomile to unlock the Medicine blueprint.
Spike no longer teaches medicine crafting. Aiden figures it out himself.
Some previously accessible areas are now blocked off with barricades.
The first parkour skill unlocks after entering the tunnel.
The first combat skill unlocks after the player's first kill.
The Vault Kick tutorial has been removed. Players can ignore the skill entirely and continue the story.
Fighting practice against Renegades is now optional instead of mandatory.
The Bazaar hanging scene has been censored, showing only a black screen instead of the full sequence.
Hakon and Biomarker Section
The crystal container near Hakon has been removed.
Opening the GRE crate now happens during daytime.
The GRE crate no longer contains loot.
Aiden no longer suffers a seizure after opening the crate.
Entire Chase Sequence Removed
The following events have been completely cut:
The night chase back to the Bazaar.
Being denied entry because Aiden lacks a biomarker.
The famous Volatile scream cutscene.
The rooftop fight sequence.
Instead:
Hakon immediately tells Aiden to meet him at the GRE Hospital to obtain a biomarker.
Dialogue Changes
Several conversations with Hakon have been shortened.
The dialogue choices regarding what Aiden will do after finding Mia have been removed.
The game now automatically chooses the line about settling down somewhere.
Additional dialogue about Aiden's future plans has been cut.
Binocular Tutorial Changes
Hakon still gives Aiden binoculars.
The tutorial that previously required marking the Windmill and the Bazaar has been removed.
Wow, I've just seen what Techland with Dying Light 2's prologue and who on earth thought that was a good idea?
REMOVING SPIKE? THE HOUSE PART? THE EASTER EGGS. That prologue was so good. Spike was a legend of a character. There's no logical reason to remove him at all. Now it's lost media...
@damongentry Literally the preamble. Where it outlines the purpose of government, general welfare and all that. The whole introduction to the thing that made our country a thing. Every government’s job is to its people. I shouldn’t have to explain this but libertarians are all 5 year olds.
If the governments job isn’t to secure even basic shit like clean drinking water for its citizens, what’s its actual purpose?! THIS IS WHAT WE WANT OUR TAXES PAYING FOR
Not to harp on it but its really funny to hear some people argue “hey it was a mixed reaction, it wasn’t all boos” and then you click on this and it’s just the deepest, from the gut, loudest boos you’ve ever heard. Like just objectively the most negative response from the crowd.
