- Dead Island Is A Hot Mess
With all the hot weather as of late, I thought why not play something that suits the season? And what says summer more then flesh eating zombies?

What annoyed me is in many cutscenes all four characters are on screen at the same time, but when control is given to the player, everyone else disappears, leaving you to fight the hoards alone.
And most NPC when helped would refer to you as a group, like "you guys" or something like that
The game is made with the idea that you’re playing with friends, it’s taken the borderlands approach where every character choice is canon and helps in the story
That’s just game design, really shouldn’t annoy you that much
@@100StepProgram Game design? More like laziness on the developer's part.
The fact that it doesn't annoy you is the reason gamers just settle for 2nd rate games.
@@100StepProgram I it can still be laziness even if it’s just the game’s design.
A zombie game on a tropical island is a genius idea. Logan was my favorite.
I love the setting of Banoi. As a matter of fact, I think I'll replay it today.
Dude I always do a little replay of dead island every year or two
Logan was always my favorite, I never played through 1 because I was still a little too immature to handle zombie games, they freaked me out too much and couldnt commit to playing extensive periods of time, but I beat riptide a couple times, dabbled with all the characters but I found logan to be the best to transition from early game to late game, while playing with rando's in the late game they all had guns regardless of who they were because of guns O.P.ness, Logan was always able to kill just as fast as them with his high end weapons that could be thrown from a distance (I distinctly remember electric katanas being my weapon of choice for this), as long as boomerang kept triggering, and he'd been doing that since the start of the game.
I was hoping your post was listingthe other 500 times that's been done but instead you seem to think it's... creative?
Same
WHODOYOUVOODOOBITCH
An important thing to note. When this game first released kicking costed no stamina at all, which made the main strategy jump kicking zombies to knock them down, I think it was like a month after launch they patched it though.
Is "costed" even a word?
@@kiillabytez good point lol but I got my point across at least
@@kiillabytez of course it! is its a past participle of 'cost'
Ahh the good old days of group curb stomping a lone zombie.
They should’ve made it so that kicking cost zero stamina but curb stomping did. Now it’s the opposite. Instead of it being too easy, it’s too difficult because you have no way of creating some distance between you and a horde in close distance.
i played dead island like 12 times in my entire life and every time was amazing.
Same completed dead island and riptide about 12 times each. Usually go back to it once or twice a year.
@@CrownOfChains The story sucks, but if you want a game were you can just chop up zombies for a few hours there is nothing better.
@@aidangattinger8975 oh no yeh, thats all it was fun for, but infinite fun. Just chopping up zombies, never gets old to me. And sure its annoying yo play through the story every time as its always the same so you know it all by heart. But the inbetween was the best.
@@aidangattinger8975Left for dead 1 and 2 is far better.
I know it’s so good
dead island walked so dying light could run
I hope the sequel is at least as good as the original, because even to this day I absolutely love it.
Pressing X to doubt
@@dagripper77look up the gameplay trailers they released a good bit, it looks fucking awesome and better than this buggy mess
No skill trees just cards...
@@kazer4 cards to make a deck, so you can change things up and try new things out, like imagine you had all the skills from every character put into one area and you could pick and choose, that would be dope. i love sam b's skills in the skill tree but i normally play logan but dont like throwing things, so if i could do part logan part sam b that would be awesome
Sequel? You mean Riptide? It's slightly better gameplay wise - keyword slightly. Map is more interesting in my opinion but annoying to get around and story is meh like in rest of Techland games.
I had always been into zombie stuff as a kid, and played through Dead Rising 2. That kind of RPG Action with a zombie environment made me super excited with what Dead Island touted. I had played the game solo, and found it simply fine enough, not good or bad, but, as many say in the comments, stupid amounts of fun with friends. Having moments like all three of you getting swatted away by a thug but one of you goes off a cliff causes a large giggle fit between you all.
Wait, dead island 2?
@@matthewjones39 Dead Island Riptide
@@nathanielbuchanan6920 Oh.
Game was fun... Until the first time you rounded a corner, saw something, reacted and swung your weapon only to realize too late that it was one of those exploding "help me" zombies lol
Suicider!! Those things scared the livin hell out of me
Sometimes the "help me" just comes way too late, especially if you are running. I tackled one by sheer accident once when turning a corner.
@@admiralhowdy The game has great ambient sounds though, especially once you got to the town. Really creepy
This brings me back to the days when you could rock Purna Maxed Rage and just wallbang zombies with her ultimate regardless of whether you have a pistol in your inventory, one will just "magically" appear allowing you the power of a 152mm cannon, the penetration of a gamma burst and the accuracy of a railgun. Gotta love videogame logic...
Been playing this game for over 10 years since people seem to show up in my life wanting to play it.
The way to play the chinese girl is to craft big electrical axes, the more the better.
If you throw them you usually kill the enemies in a single hit, you should only swing weapons on enemies when their back is turned to you or if they are stunned through shock\poison.
Carry random knives you find in the game to throw on the explosive enemy, their explosion can make your thrown weapon fly through walls even inside rooms, making you lose the weapons forever.
Regarding the fast access weapon slots, one should be a firearm for human enemies (generally pistols), one should be a knife for throwing, the other slots should be axes, the weight of the weapon affects how long the enemy stays stunned after a hit, if you confront zombies by slashing your knife around, you will be obliterated. This strategy works in both Dead Island and Riptide.
Electric machetes are the best melee weapons until you get big axes. With big axes you can kill 3-4 enemies at once with a single swing. It is the best melee weapon in the game.
Hi, check out dying light. It is from the same developer and pretty much better in every single category. The biggest change is the great parkour, dead island combat system becomes boring very quick, so dying light combines it with free running which functions extremely well.
@@DieEineMieze dying light is good but will never be better then dead island and dead island 2 is going to shit on dying light 2.
I mean, if you min max with her and actually play to her characters abilities, you don't even need to worry about half of this stuff. She's literally supposed to be a glass cannon and she excels in that regard.
Played Sam B with a Shattering Electric 2H axe. That beaut was keyed to my wheel at all times.
Logan is better. His boomerang skill is underrated and his fury is the best in the game by far. He has bladed skills like Xian or whatever her name is and his critical hits with thrown weapons are devastating.
Xian was my favorite character to play.
Sharp-Weapon expert characters are fun.
Mine too.
When I first played this I picked Purna because I thought guns would be way more common and had a dreadful time. Then I played again as Sam B and it was infinitely more fun because blunt weapons are everywhere.
I distinctly remember doing loops at the nice beach houses to farm champagne to give to that woman for tons of money, and a trick to kill thugs, where if you break both their arms and somehow knock them down they'll instantly die. I imagine because they simply don't have a method of getting up. Makes killing them super easy as sam since blunt weapons constantly break limbs.
yeah i think in the definitive edition they made it so that zombies get up even with broken arms so the trick for thugs doesn't work anymore.
I played as logan on my first tme and I found out that throwing shit at zombie like a btch is quite fun.
Especially poison and fire combo on boss fight fell like a cheat.
@@ububububububububub1667 just head strike and follow-up, if your force is high enough it stuns them and the follow-up is always a critical hit.
in the original versions you could do this repeatedly for a stun-lock combo.
@@thevashfan12392 yeah
One thing about Dead Island is that the game allows you to combine weapons and items together, exactly like Dead Rising 2 which came out the year before Dead Island did. I was also unlucky enough to have the game bug out and I got stuck before the point of no return not being able to go to the prison.
Dead Island is neither a groundbreaking nor a particularly polished experience. That said, I think Dead Island represents the qualities I enjoy seeing from middle market games. I'm one that enjoys sinking my teeth into just about any title that manages to make something of itself on comparatively shoe string budgets to the more dominant AAA experiences on the market and this game is no exception. I think what Dead Island did better than the many other zombie filled romps of its time was simply not over complicating the mechanics and just presented a pick up and play mentality. One of the things I'll never forget about this game is my experience with guns. If you've ever played Techland's flop of a modern Western styled shooter (not to mention incredibly disappointing follow up to a great series) simply known as Call of Juarez: The Cartel, you'll know exactly how the guns feel in Dead Island to say the least (likely due to the same engine being used for both games), not very good. They lack punch and yet... due to their relative rarity in Dead Island's world, they became a joy to find and just as much of a joy to use. Despite guns feeling like... well, ass, Dead Island actually makes you appreciate them for the most part which I always found to be a brilliant design choice and is my main take away from my time playing.
Overall, I definitely recommend Dead Island. With the follow up coming outta the misty vapourware dimension here soon, might be a good idea to get this game on sale soon before it comes out! You really can't go wrong with Techland's first take on the genre :3
Back in the day dead island was a type of game I’d call a “start-stop game”, basically it’s one I’d buy because I only heard some good stuff about it and as soon as I start playing and actually understand what it is I leave immediately and never play again.
... I didn't remember the whole Jin situation at all. It just shows how lacking the writing is that I think my mind ignored her existence until near the end where she's killed off is the only thing I remember about her from playing the game.
Bro I was so unfazed by her death at the end of the game😭
@@dreadmanjae2920 now that I think about it though, zombie games are infamous for having deaths that give no impact, kinda like Jin in this situation. 😂
I've beat this game hundreds of times and not once do I recall Jin's trauma
I think Jin was just a filler NPC, nothing about her made me care enough, i think the whole police station fiasco with Jin was just made to care more about her, after a couple quests i forgot about her.
Her dad got bitten and she was abused at the police station thats all i remember about her.
@@w1zzard_ she really either needs a proper rewrite or just get the chop in the remake... come on, we all know this era will be the time people and developers will try to reclaim old flames with these old gems.
Damn, I just realized remakes are quite similar to the rekindling ending in DS1... 🤣
This game got me through some pretty rough years, so I'll always have a nostalgic itch to play it. The plot was secondary to the combat, and always reminded me of a cheezy B movie.
what were you going through if you dont mind me asking
@@edwardlopez8941 Just living with my parents, using their computer which could barely play it, while they watched nothing but talent competitions and Fox news.
I remember my twin brother first playing this, he chose to play as Sam B, he got to the point where he went down the stairs to get an item, and he couldn't climb back upstairs, the character kept sliding at the bottom of the stairs, later, I decided to try with the three other characters, and all of them were able to climb said stairs just fine. Verified the game was racist until this bug was patched.
Lol im sorry for laughing, but that was too funny xD
@@remythezen5174sorry for laughing??
Dead Island is gaining enough attention despite it flaws due to the 'being relatable'. Like being a normal human just for vacation, no crazy move/combat, grounded location, etc. For those saying that Dead Island story sucks, Resident Evil franchise is relatively the same (except Code Veronica and Revelations) but capcom just had enough budget to create cool looking monster and batshit plot
I never realized suiciders said that😨
I still love this game, flaws and all
Cool video. Loved this game as a kid, looking forward to the sequel, whenever that comes out
don't you know about dead island riptied? It is the sequel
@@nagato608 its not a sequel. its a continuation of the first game
@@void7837 that's what sequels is
@@AJ-dx6bn its dlc sold as a full game
@@void7837 strange, riptide wasn't a dlc though
Awesome timing for when to release a video on this series, I’m so stoked how the sequel is finally (hopefully) being released
The new game looks alot better then the original, just hope the humor isn't too Saints Row 2022
@@fuzzyslippersyt You gotta admit that the resort area looks cool tho.
@@fuzzyslippersyt You might be disappointed. They got "diversity councillors" writing the characters.
@@I-NUCL34R-I no..... please dear god no.... They'll literally ruin it
@@I-NUCL34R-I wow really i didn't know anyone gave a crap😂
For me Dead Island was an extremely fun experience... for the first act. Going around the resort and smacking zombies into oblivion was super fun, even with the dozens of fetch quests. After that, though, it gets too hard to be fun. The very next section introduces running zombies that chase you non-stop and gang up on you and an insanely annoying tough zombie that can only be damaged by shooting him in one specific spot in the back after dodging his charge. Honestly dealing with both of those constantly was not fun. Maybe if I was playing with friends it would be better, but I don't have any.
The city is a chore to traverse. Too many walls blocking your way that you have to circle around. And running through the same sewers a million times is sleep-inducing.
Oooooooh you shoot them in the back? Ooooh
@@Ezio999Auditore I just threw a molotov. everything dies to molotov
I play this game every so often and love it every time. Being a fan of old zombie movies from the 70's and 80's this really hits the spot, reminds me a lot of those movies. If only they could have added a vhs filter :)
Nice video btw.
Reshade ;)
This guy is a good underrated youtuber
I just can't get over the atmosphere of this game. The opening level of the beach is perfect for making players feel almost serene, calm even, but still having the underlying horror just waiting around any corner. Moresby City ups the hostility with more corners to hide zombies behind, due to the inner city layout, and overall darker environment. And then the Jungle is just pure hostility, presenting zero familiarity due to the seemingly ever-changing landscape, and even more places for zombies to hide due to the thick jungle foliage and trees.
The game does a fairly decent job at increasing tension through environmental scaling, imo.
Oh yea, and the soundtrack... 👌
Idyllic settings is a very big "would I buy" factor for me, and while the game play is fun and I like the semi-open world feel, I've lived in these settings before and the nostalgia hits me hard.
0:42 : "Poster boy of development hell"
Duke Nukem: "first time, bro?"
The only thing I even remember about this series is that you can throw your weapons, which I thought was fun. But other than that i dont remember zilch about this series
Yeah, until Riptide when for some reason the zombies throwing something at you was an instant death lol
I love this game. Its one of those games that is boring to play on my own but with friends it's one of my all time favourites.
I am absolutely not bored playing it alone. I play every game alone. Soak myself in its atmosphere.
@@mr.2cents.846 This game has atmosphere?
*Isn't that basically every coop game ever?*
@@RipChordProductions Absolutely not. There are plenty of games that have co-op but are fun on solo. It's just that games like dead island and borderlands can be mindless on solo but great fun with friends.
Nah never boring just running round killing zombies imo
I got a zombie on me, but you can't harm me...
"zombie army"
@@allenharper2928 I used to think it was "zombie on me" until I sang it to myself for the 500th time and realized that didn't make sense lol
@@jacobr2022 lol
I actually like Sam B. His whole theme, being a voodoo practitioner, references to Papa Shango and Baron Samehdi. And "Who Do Your Voodoo, Bitch?" Is an awesome name for a song lol
Damn, I still love this game. I used to co-op with a life long mate who was dying of cancer. He just loved playing Sam B. He would only talk to me while we played, so it was a time of great memories. I just played the newer Definitive Edition, and I still love this game. You can just build some crazy weapons. I have a game editor which lets me put melee damage on firearms. You never seen something like the Homerun Desert Eagle until you try it. You can even get the bladed and shock effects for some even crazier effects. I have an Electro-Shock Spas 12 that just kills everything.
All I know is that as a kid that bellhop zombie in the trailer genuinely terrified me, he’s fucking horrifying even nowadays
Aw, i was expecting you mentioned the analog/digital controls.
Digital controls are the basic controls, you aim where you wanna hit, and press a button to hit.
Analog controls are more complex, you have to activate a "combat pose" with a button, and you manually swing your weapon, with these you can get some insane moves, like one lateral swing to the knees to destabilize the zombies and one vertical hit to the head to finish them off
Analog also almost guarantees consecutive decapitations as well
i love the analog controls
Is TH-cam stupid? Videos like this have so much merit... Why isn't it promoted? Like your a small channel, I don't understand?
i mean 3k vs 1.5mil subs no disrespect but in comparison 3k is still small
What are you confused about exactly?
Ad revenue. That's all.
Got recommended for me. So I watch.
He make good content ngl
21:34- So, if Dr. West's hypothesis proved true, then I'd be resistant to Dead Island's mutated Kuru. Good to know! Now, if I could just do something about making sure the Fury doesn't eventually overtake me... Oh, and also the whole danger of being eaten alive. Yeah, that would definitely help.
Since I'm a poor fuck that can't afford vacation on a tropical island, I actually enjoyed this game quite a bit
I played this as a kid with my dad and even then I could tell the game was.. off. maybe in a different world it could have been a masterpiece but it feels so half baked conceptually and mechanically
well a game doesn't need to be a masterpiece to give enjoyment. If you liked it even with the flaws that's all that matters :)
@@shortbreadhead oh yes I enjoyed my time with the game just wondering about what could have been
Dead Island is the funnest game i’ve ever played with friends hands down, shit is comedy gold, especially with some of the skills and the high level mods. The physics were the best part in my opinion, everything felt so satisfying and heavy, Id even say the guns were the best i’ve felt besides Battlefield, the shotguns especially. The driving physics were amazing too, me and my friends would just race around the island for
hours, the driving felt so fast and tight it was amazing. The worst part by far was the story, in fact I never played it with it in mind I feel like the developers hit a gold mine with a fun coop game when they were actually trying to make a gritty, dark walking dead type game and they failed fucking miserably at that. Literally the first thing I remember about the game were me and my friends laughing at the intro and sinamoi’s accent. Then cue throwing shit from like 10 ft away and watching them fold like a lawn chair, getting drunk and fist fighting thugs with triple damage boost and and health regeneration from Logan’s skills. The disconnect from what the devs wanted and what the fans played carried on to Dying Light and that honestly ruined it for me. Yes its better as a story and its scarier with the nightime but at the cost of the multiplayer being way worse. The fact that it if you want to play multiplayer you’re all clones of the same guy was big L and on top of that the game focused so much more on the story,” and doubled down on the serious tone. I also enjoyed the driving much more than the parkour, especially given the fad died out. I feel like the Dead Island 2 devs really understand what the fans liked about Dead Island given the trailer’s comedic lighthearted fun feel and beautiful physics, also more options on how to take out zombies and more characters than originally too. Can’t wait for it to come out
ikr i loved the way zombies would just fly if you hit them with the right weapons, and that you could take the truck into cutscenes if you got it there lol
My friend and I both asked for this game for Christmas. We both received it. We played maybe three times, then never spoke again.
For its time, Dead Island and Riptide were B-tier that delivered A-tier fun. Dead Island 2 is also one of the funnest games I've played in years and is totally worth playing if you enjoyed the original Dead Island and Dying Light.
I thought it was a brilliant setting. I felt totally immersed exploring the island and progressing the story further inland, finding the city in ruins, uncovering survivor encampments, more research labs, and eventually the tribe.
The story and progression all felt immersive even when partly satirical, like Sam B’s rapper knockoff or fetching more champagne for a strung out Svetlana.
It’s why I’m hesitant about Dead Island 2’s push for its focus on mechanics like Gore and Weapons. They are what made the gameplay memorable yes, but it was the initial backdrop and setting that pushed the game into limelight.
A zombie game on a tropical resort.
If we’re just thrusted into a sandbox LA with no authentic story, even if silly, it will tank.
In the realm of pixels, where legends roam free,
Lies an island of the dead, where adventures decree.
With controllers in hand, and screens ablaze,
Gamers embark, in the game's mystic maze.
Oh, Dead Island, with shores of delight,
Where undead horizons blend with the night.
In the grip of suspense, and the thrill of the fight,
Every gamer's soul finds its resplendent flight.
Through the ruins we tread, with comrades in tow,
Facing hordes of zombies, with courage aglow.
Each quest, a saga, each battle, a tale,
In the annals of gaming, they forever prevail.
With each swing of the weapon, each skillful evade,
In the depths of the island, where memories are made.
The joy of discovery, the triumph of might,
In the heart of the game, we find our delight.
Oh, Dead Island, with its landscapes vast,
Where challenges beckon, and legends amass.
In the chronicles of gaming, it holds its prime,
A testament to greatness, through space and time.
Definitive edition is more broken than original
hahaha true
It was a fun game.I really hope they don't screw up the next part
Playing solo as Xian. I absolutely love it when I die in a blink of an eye from 2 zombies simultaneously throwing knives at me and loosing 15$.
this was a amazing game to play. just a real game to have fun with.
Wouldn't call it amazing. Just okay game
@@morkgin2459 amazingly fun
@morkgin2459 Not everyone has the same opinion as you. You also aren't the center of the universe guy.
I hated going through the sewers and the prison on my own. I literally ran through that shit as fast as I could. No fighting only run
Idc what anyone says dead island is a personal favorite of mine and I absolutely love it and all it’s flaws. Can’t wait for dead island 2
I still have fun playing this game to this day. Just replayed the whole series and had a blast.
I’d like to point out that O- blood types only account for 2.5% of the population.
The odds of four different people sharing that blood type is really unlikely
It’s even more unlikely that their in the same room let alone the same island.
You forget the number of people living on that island.
2.5% means five people in 200.
I personally killed enough zombies in the starting area alone to spawn at least 20 immune guys!
@@Sleeping_Insomiac 2.5% of the global population. So the odds of this scenario is even less likely.
@@Riley_HawkinsOSRS
2.5% of the world's population equals around 32 *million* people!
That's a quarter more than the complete population of Australia!
@@Sleeping_Insomiac theirs 7.88 Billion people on earth with a B
32 Million is literally nothing. and Australia isn't that big in terms of Population
In America we have states with populations bigger then the entire country of Australia. (California, Texas, Florida ect)
@@Riley_HawkinsOSRS
Okay, do you even know how percentages work?
2.5% mean, that in *every group* of 200 people, there ate *statistically* 5 people with that blood type!
The national average public school in the US has 526 students.
That means in every single public school, there's about 13 students with the blood type in question.
I really don't understand why you believe that on an island of thousands of inhabitants, there shouldn't be any people of that blood type!
A typical hotel like the one depicted in the game has over 300 rooms, even without the apartments and bungalows outside.
Even if each room was just occupied by a single person, that would mean 7.5 people with 0- just counting the guests.
Come on!
I really do think it's important to mention that purna is half cast aboriginal as it really is an under displayed group of people in media especially video games. It does add to the game for australians
I hate to say it but, Sam B was right about Jin.
“The current poster boy for development hell” lol..... skull and bones has entered the chat.
Amazing review of a classic. Although I am slightly disappointed that you didn’t mention analog combat! One of my favorite details about this game. It adds so much nuance to a melee build.
It was a lot of fun, in my opinion, underrated game. As for characters I went through phases, started with Sam B, eventually switched to Logan, and finally settled on the punchy guy from Riptide, can't remember his name (Clearly the character itself wasn't that memorable but I like punching stuff).
John Morgans the name.
In dead island 1. I loved Sam and Logan. But they got butchered in riptide.
@@littlebadassgaming Yeah, Logan got especially messed up. I agree.
@@tafferinthedark Logan went from the throwing guy to just " guy " in riptide, nerfing abilities and skills people already put skillpoints into is a big no-no.
@@littlebadassgaming heh, "butchered"
One of the few games that scared me as a kid
Xian mei is the only character i enjoy mid game, Logan cant sprint for shit, Purna is best when used as a group (just as you said, and her whole skilltree works more as a secondary damage healer) and Sam B is boringly tanky.
Xian, specially against Infected, always feels vulnerable, you can one shot them, but if you are not smart or fast enough, you will fall quickly.
The only thing i do not like about her is that she gets easily ones-shotted by zombies that have a cleaver on their han, you have to keep an eye on them because they tend to trow them at you.
The intro to this game is still good to be fair
I think this is the first time I'm watching one of your videos. Looks like you've done an essay on all my favorite games, from the PS2, Xbox, and 360 days. I'm probably gonna crank up this hot, clunky mess of a game tonight. My brother and I had a blast playing this. We considered it everything we wanted from a zombie game, back then. Excellent work, bruv. You excited about Dead Island 2 finally coming around?
Playing Dead Island is a game more about playing with your friends and goofing about. Sadly Im offline, but even though I'd rate Dead Island with a 4/5, I liked it's counterpart Dead Island riptide, I paid 3 Smakaroos for it and definitely got my worth.
Played through this solo when it was newish and the only things I remembered about it were that I had a bug for most of act 2 where it would spawn me in the jungle instead. Thankfully I could just go back to the correct area. The other thing was that song, which, yeah, banger.
I've been scrolling through your content after watching your San Andreas & GTA 4 videos. Your content is great & I'm glad someone did a story recap / retrospective on this game since it was one of my favorite B tier games on PS3
i played dead island riptide so much as a kid, i had the glitched inventory and had so many items my game would crash if i dropped something lmao
It was a hot mess when it came out...But gawddamn was it a fun game to play. I poured countless hours into it when it came out on the Xbox 360. Can't say much for Riptide though.
Just another day at dead island resort 😎
I know a lot of people like dead island but it's personally my most lackluster AAA zombie game experience
I'll say this about Jin: Those overalls never left her character model.
Sure it’s not the most polished game and the combat isn’t my favorite but this game holds a special place in my heart
Stop thinking about it. Just smash zombies, its ok to have fun
I love dead island, but I've gotta say, dying light takes the cake for best zombie game for me, (at least the first one) especially since it was released in my zombie/ parkour phase. just love jumping around at 30 MPH with the kuai dagger and boosters zipping around with the grappling hook.
But you can clearly see that the two are created by the same developers.
I like both games with DL as nr 1 but I don't think we would have DL without DI.
@@ulfaman8927 true
DL is too player OP imo, as a DI fan I had to cash in my steam refund within the hour of playing it
Nah dead island 2 is going to shit on dying light and dying light 2 the top dog is back baby..
@@sluttyboy69 yeah, if they don't fuck up their game again lmao
I think that it would have been much better if, instead of established characters, the game has a create your character system, even giving us the possibilty to write a backstory for our created character.
Your pace and rythm in your review is really good. The ideal video to grab a snack and chill out while eating and watching it lol
Wouldnt work with the skill system though.
@@FullmetalTimo the 4 "class" would remain the same, you would only chose your class at the moment of creating your character
@@senormarston Nah the characters are way better because they add to the fun. Logan in particular is an alcoholic with skills that revolve around that shit and quite frankly they’re his best, He has one where you triple your damage while drunk and another where you replenish your health when drinking and mix that with max distance throwing and he was easily the funnest character I made. With create a characters you were never gonna get that type of unique class and besides Dying Light did that and in my opinion it was significantly worse because they were trying to take themselves seriously, Dead Island wasn’t really that kind of game.
@@erikvaldes4293 since when did Dying Light have create a character?
@@defectiverevolutionaryandr1188 Ah my bad you’re right, I meant one character with a all in one custom skill tree vs multiple characters with different skill trees. Even then the game basically functions the same with a mostly silent protagonist and since its first person you wont even get to look at yourself.
I just love this game for the nostalgia value alone.
The first 14 mins of this helped me work out the exp menu. Thank you subbed
Bought both Dead Island and Riptide for a dirt cheap price on Xbox. Whenever I play a game, I don’t instantly go in thinking it’ll be a masterpiece. I let my gameplay decide if it’s good or bad. This is mediocre or above average at best in my opinion. It’s also a bit of a guilty pleasure game for me. One of those games I’ll play despite the bad rep.
Philosophically speaking, and artistically speaking in terms of writting, Dead Island is undoubtedly a dumpster fire.
Gameplay wise, it was a blast. I had so much fun playing it I visited everything, completed every quest, found every secret, mostly by myself.
The game feels particularly rushed after the resort. But oh boi, is the resort a fun ride!
Dead island, a pretty good game with a few flaws, when I say few, one stand out is for some reason the game wants you to hold the booze bottle above above all else so you will find yourself chugging down whiskey, but for first timers, I recommend playing as logan as he has some awesome abilities such as gaining a passive to restore health with alcohol.
The game does have a severe learning curve and if you think logically and aim for skills to benefit you in loot obtaining, you may never use your fury ability.
I grew up off this and left 4 dead and cod black ops 1 zombies three of the best zombies games I have played as a kid
I'm currently replaying this game! Who remembers the Developer's Craft Mods? Getting the different color skulls and taking them to the right locations for the blueprints!
I bought both games for 8 dollars, a real steal. Definitely worth it and can't wait to hopefully play an amazing Dead Island 2, but my hopes aren't in space, so I ont want to shoot myself again.
I did not think this was 5 months ago, this video is pretty up to date.
It's crazy to see that after *_all this time through development hell_* for this game's sequel is *actually* coming out. It'll be funny if it suddenly goes back into "development"
One thing I wish for DI2 (Dead Island 2 *not Dying Light 2 or DL2* for short) is that they bring back the _analog fighting style_ in the settings. Every since going for the achievement in the first game to kill Zombie's using analog, I've been playing that way on Dead Island ever since
Same! The analog controls were weird at first but once you get the hang of it, it's so much fun!
Since I played this when I was younger. I never knew the context behind what happened to jin... So yeah that is fun to find out. Went back to play the game and it's pretty boring imo
I played this game so much, years ago, even got the platinum trophy
Your reviews is godlike thanks for content bro
Played this on ps3 years ago. Modders gave me 3 modded guns with billions of ammo. I can never go back to it because its not fun lol great memories tho an underrated game
My favorite zombie game was dying light, but I loved dead island, it was a lot of fun. The story sucked though, at least I think it did, I don’t really remember it. It was just fun to beat zombies up with some friends. But dying light was sooo fun, even by yourself and I did like the story. I’ve heard the sequel is terrible though, which really disappoints me and I’m still on the fence whether or not to buy it.
for me this is one of those games that you're obsessed with as a kid but can look back on and admit they weren't that great
that being said I'm surprised nobody's talked about the crazy secrets this game has, the named weapons, the skulls that give you blueprints
ikr they really messed up some of the impact weapons and the dev crafts in the definitve edition since they changed physics engines
i used to play this game in elementary literally terrified to even press play the menu music alone would have me scared when i did eventually press play id get scared by the distant zombie screams now at 18 i’m patiently waiting for the release of dead island 2 :) i don’t have high hopes for it that it’ll deliver but just the lore alone and a continuation to my favorite childhood zombie game is more than enough for me
With the characters it really is such a shame that they don’t talk during the game, i imagine that it would be really food for the game if they commented on the things going on around them, especially logan because he could have dialogue relating to him regretting or having ptsd over the hit and run when he gets into a car.
I do recall them talking, and I just played this last month with my gf, especially at key points or when coming across notable scenes in the world. My complaint is in co-op, you can't hear other player's characters when they make their quips. Though this was fixed in Riptide.
you gotta use the analog controls, having total control over the swing and force direction is fantastic
Xian was a beast with her special and the right skills. Last boss and tougher enemies die almost instantly. I loved using the katana. Decapitation all day with a single swing. Yeah lacked story and was incoherent at times but loved the game, setting and atmosphere.
It had its faults but I still love this game. Whenever I go past a beach or have an energy drink, it brings nostalgia to this game series
I will be honest: I was kinda happy Jin died, she threatened the main characters, stupidly goes behind their backs to a place that clearly wasn't friendly and then is killed because she thought that releasing white's wife was a good idea, for real, i'm surprised she didn't jsut try to stop us from killing the zombies as well, what a terrible character that had absolutely no point whatsoever...
Also, Do you plan to make a video about Dead island Riptide as well???
Also: is it just me that always felt like the camera movement in this game is odd? i don't know how to explain it, but it's like it's never precise and it's always "wavering", is that just me? i'm sure this doesn't happen in the riptide one
i remember some random guy joining my game spawning in something that looked like a minecraft sand block. when i went to collect it my save file completely broke 💀
I once had a randomly joined player gift me a modded one-shot-kill revolver - like Purna's fury pistol - with so much ammo it was effectively infinite.
I could've exploited that to make the game a complete cakewalk, but decided to only keep it for emergency situations where I was close to dying. But I did end up duplicating it before that exploit was patched and gifted it to my friend.
want to point out, the reason why the visuals aged well for a game released in 2011 is because the game you're playing is the definitive edition which uses the chrome engine 6 from dying light 1 with new textures, lighting and effects, the original dead island and it's spinoff, riptide uses chrome engine 5
yeah i'm not sure why he didn't think of that, the engine switch also changes the gameplay quite a bit too
@@ububububububububub1667 it did?
@@thebiggeridiot yeah the impact mods like the shock mods for blunt weapons used to send the zombies flying into things to do damage on i think criticals but now they just go straight down, the truck in the definitve edition is also an instakill on zombies no matter how slow you're going while in the original it would push them around if it was going slow or even be stopped by them, while if you had speed it would do a lot of damage.
Hi FuzzySlippers, I found your channel by your GTA IV Retrospective Super Cut getting recommended to me. I thoroughly enjoyed that and have been going through your back catalogue of reviews and really enjoying them also. They're very well made and entertaining you deserve ten times the views and subscribers you get. Your Rockstar reviews getting recommended will hopefully give you the viewership boost you deserve.
I've subscribed and wish you all the best man. 👍
Its a hot mess...but you're drunk. So its beautiful
Dead Island?
Oh, you mean the prototype to Dying Light.
Idk man. Dead Island is a 10/10 imo. Finished this game countless times and still excited to play more. Sure the story might be inconsistent and there is a lack of cutscenes. However I think the gameplay is the true gem of this game. The hours of playtime without cutscenes are the best parts in my opinion because I enjoy doing side quests and shredding ass so much, in which case it's really fun to play so it's not really about the story for me.
