What is up with the title of this video?? 😂😂
7:51 it’s kinda cool to see a first person game where you can block with your gun, not gonna lie
STEAM OR DEATH.
That streamer house really got under your skin, internet man.
I got no idea what gman smoking, this game was really fun to play. Mindless and fun to beat the shit out of zombies with a genuine advancement to flesh and dismemberment mechanics. Zombies are the actual focus of the game unlike every zombie game released since the last of us which just made them more of a backdrop of the setting to tell you humans are the real monsters. Im sure that decision to focus on only zombies instead of adding human enemies was due to time contraints since theres also no drivable vehicles either or the world being split up into zones, which i think was actually well done. My only critique are the guns which dont feel that good, dunno if cod's spoiled me. I also wish melee attacks somehow could be directional so you can be more precise and slice at certain angles or cave a zombies head in from above.
They basically did to this game what they did to the Rage games, Rage 2 is nothing like Rage 1; dead island 2 is nothing like dead island 1.
they just want you to feel like some generic super bad ass that can mow through enemies like butter while alienating the people who loved the originals
I see no reason to buy this over any zombie game I've already bought, like DL 1 and 2
Garbage review references the old games say there not as easy when literally all the zombies scale to your level in the old garbage choppy game this guy pisses me off gave me a headache
Wow. I had no idea this game was even remotely close to being out, let alone having launched two weeks ago. I don't know how they managed to stealth launch it like this.
Gaming has come so far but has become so shallow, ps1/2 era will never be beaten
I just scrolled down to the comment section and I think I've already forgotten everything about the game in the video.
think i will wait for the free version to be released. the amount they're asking for this game, it wouldn't be fair of me to pay because the game could never live up to that kind of investment.
21:58 about that Jager who originally developed the game take your idea But its scrapped
Yooo Sombra is in Dead Island 2
A fun $20 game, wait for a sale 😂
The Butcher was in the original game . Only difference was that they didn't feed off of things .
I have never, and will never, install the Epic game app.
Say no to Communist China!
it took them 12 years to make this?
Called Dead Island but there is no island…
The butcher was in the first game, and the screamer was in riptide
Having kamikaze enemies in a melee focused game should be a war crimes at this point
Okay. I need help understanding other gamers because I found myself loving the chatting back and forth in the game Atomic Heart and found myself WISHING the characters in dead Island talked more. What's with people constantly complaining about the one thing that actually brings a character to life?!
I'm sorry maybe I'm just the outlier but…. I find myself eating up every moment a character in any game talks… So why does everyone hate it so much? 😢
I'm really sick of hearing "blah blah talks too much giving me a headache" or "bring back silent protagonist" …. It hurts my soul…. I'd never want to play a game where the main character has literally NO CHARACTER to speak of…
Never say a company should pander to streamers.
Let's remember that Dying Light 1 was originally going to be Dead Island 2 until deep silver rejected tech lands request for the budget and the change of focus to a single protagonist and parkour as the main way to move around according to rumors from back then and a few comments by Techland. So, Dead Island 2 technically had four different development teams. The weirdest omissions by the new dead island are it not having specialization by character, no vehicles (given it was one of contentions on deep silver to techland), no well developed skill tree and difficulty curve which is a staple in the first two games. And of course, the fact it no longer happens on an Island. Making the title to now be "figurative". This said. Gman seems to have forgotten that screamers and acid spitters were already in riptide along side the claws and knuckes. All this said, at least Dead Island is a well optimized and good looking game with an improved gore system. Which by the way is the only thing I missed in Dying Light 1.
IDK, I knew what I wanted and it did it. It's relatively bug free. Can't really complain much.
It feels like a game that makes you ask, once again, "Who was this game for?" It sits next to Red Fall, and Saints Row 2022. Even Watch Dogs 2 have that vibe, though I actually did like most of the cast in that game.
The original demographic for this game kind of moved on to Dying Light for the most part, which is honestly the spiritual successor to this franchise. Everyone basically forgot that this game exists, or at the least, didn't even expect it to be released. They wanted to appeal to the very demographic that they're taunting and making fun of, which makes everything feel disingenuous. Like yay I can be a dyed haired, nose ring piercing "punk" girl, and she's about as annoying as those dumb memes making fun of that stereotype makes her out to be. It'd be more interesting if visually she, and the other characters besides Ryan and Bruno, were flashy, but then were forced to be more grounded since millions of people are suddenly dead or dying and trying to eat them.
This lad got it for only $90? I had to pay $130 for what equals to roughly 8 to 10 hours of zombie stomping…
Bruh.
If it did not release Epic exclusive I would have bought it nonetheless.
I liked the predecessors because they were mindless zombie killing fun with a roughly serious theme and mood. Like it's over the top, but not goofy.
combat physics are fucking dreadful.
No hype. Needs to be on Steam
Sounds like Sombra
Amy was pretty good
The gore and body damage was one of my favorite things about dying light one
You may want to edit your title a bit.
I just get sick of the one girl saying feck or feckin’ all the time. She’s really obnoxious. Sadly I guess all the main characters are pretentious assholes. Makes it hard to give a crap about any of them.
This game is awesome 👌
Dead island 2 wasn’t a big deal on release but I’m glad I played it. Feels good to buy and complete a finish game this year😅
With your newer videos I wonder if you actually like playing games anymore, or if you've gotten stuck in a funk where you have to nitpick everything because that's become a new habit/the bread and butter for your youtube engagement. Sometimes a game can just be brainless dumb fun (no pun intended) that doesn't need a full video essay to explain why it's not serious high art. Just drink a beer or two, laugh/cringe with it, and make a video about a game you actually like.
A great 2016 game that was released in 2023. It is fucking dogshit and no, you're not gonna tell me it has redeemable qualities because it doesn't. It was released way too late.
