“Cringe” ☝️🤓
@@RhyzeHimselfnah these corny ass memes are cringe don’t get mad when people point out how cringe asf it sounds. Begging for likes with memes
Didn’t expect you to make a Dying Light video. I honestly love both of these games, they aren’t perfect but they fill such a unique niche. Definitely looking forward to Dying Light 2’s future since we know they plan on supporting the game till at least 2027.
I'd rather they focus on big DLC's / a new game after a year or 2, but I'm for sure in the minority if you look at the steam charts. Especially since they went all in on the bounty system and the 'events'
If they improve DL2 as much as they did DL1 then Techland will do very well.
If ind it funny how so many put DL1 as a masterpiece yet trash part 2 when the first one took a few years to get to the "masterpiece" point (which it was not).
If Techland does the same amount of polish on the game part will be better than the first one. In some ways it already is.
@@darkforgiven360idk man, dying light 2 has problems that are deep rooted and much more than just needing polish, the story is terrible and has some of the worst character writing in any video game I’ve ever played and the gameplay is amazing but it’s always going to be too easy because you will out level everything by just actually playing the game and experiencing the horrid side quests.
Ahh the meme destiny 2 youtuber commenting on a dying light video what time line do we live in
I'd say, your long form content with light editing is equally great, than with heavy editing. Your analysis & storytelling & thoughts & flow is the meat and it's real good and on point.
dying light will always have a place in my heart. me and my friends in middle school would do nothing but run the prison mission over and over and over again to get the guru reward.. glitching out of the map to run to the end and looting all the containers (because the chests were rightfully unloaded) and just having fun killing apex predators (the highest level in the "be the zombie" game mode) in the most insane ways possible, like dropkicking them off roofs into spikes. duplicating cigarettes to get money, asking modders to help you get gold weapons and then duplicating them.. i reminisce on those days sometimes. very good video!
Didnt expect the video earlier than half a year
I'm going to try to go for 1 video like this a month. I need some consistency... unfortunately that also means I won't be able to put as much into the editing...
@@MarcoStyle the amount of editing in your Starfield video is certainly unsustainable, but it was awesome
the story of Dying Light 2 is the same exact story as Fallout 4.
"i need to find my son, time to do a bunch of random odd jobs and activities, OH NO MY SON IS DEAD!"
"i need to find my sister, time to do a bunch of random odd jobs and activities, OH NO MY SISTER IS DEAD!"
Techland's biggest mistake was firing Avellone and then cutting 200 page of cut content
They fired Avellone before they knew it was false accusations because they didn’t wanna be in heat in case it was true
@@weplo1597100% agree with this; it’s what led to their game being mediocre and bland, such a pity
going from watching those divisions weekly vendor resets to scathing criticisms of the games that defined my early teenage years..... well played Marco
Exactly same here
Do you feel like you’ve aged yet?
I swear dying light 2 invested so much in all the parts of dying light 1 nobody cares about
Story and rpg looter systems, animations and set pieces
Instead of doubling down on the horror aspects, the full control of parkour
I can't even begin to imagie how much work goes into the heavily edited videos but i will say your Starfiled review is one of my favourite videos on the entire platform. Its legit a movie
fun fact
2nd DLC got delayed and changed cause we complained about the bad plot and setting lol
Well If you're talking about DL2 Dlc2 it was changed alot lol like at least 3-4 times. Best one is bloody diamond one though it was supposed to be like E3 and stuff
Feels so weird listening to MarcoStyle talk about _another_ game while _I'm_ playing The Division...
I love dying light 1, great to see Marco make a video on this
my self personally, if i have a video playing, my full attention is on that video, So visuals or no visuals, you have my full attention to a video!
Really appreciate this video!
Hearing that old end quote brought back so many memories. Also I think that these longer less edited videos are doing wonders for the channel Marco. I think all of your true fans really appreciate it.
just wanna say i watched this entire thing on my tv and i didn’t notice any quality loss and still enjoyed myself and ur voice, keep doing em like this video so i can listen to u more often, that is if ur talking about something i wanna hear.
the The division throwback was such a flashback man.
i remember waiting for your trailers analysis for TD1, the beta review and all those build & DZ videos...
We've come a long way, for sure.
I watched this with full attention rather than background noise, and I didn't mind the editing style at all. Even when you mentioned it at the end I was like "What am I missing?" vs your more heavily edited stuff. Take that as you wish, but this pacing and editing is perfectly fine for me.
Good video!
Good to know honestly, I'll match my next few videos with the quality of this one.
Like how grounded and well explained everything is, digestible. The final part at the end of less visuals on screen and while doing other things. You kept it real man. love hearing you and looking forward to more content
If you weren’t aware they have retouched and completely changed a lot of cutscenes and even added secret ones as well as other additional secret features and weapons and Easter eggs in the game and we haven’t even gotten the first real expansion yet and they done so much to change the game. Even recently going as far as to changing the aesthetics and graphics of the game making certain areas look more unique across roof tops and metro areas . It’s been pretty dope . Now they are adding armed enemies to the world . Shits crazy cuz all I still really want is be a be zombie lol
I don't have the patience to watch long videos. most of the time the creator's just drag it out. there are a few that will keep me interested and you are one of them. really high quality.
the only negative (and I understand why) are the periods between your videos.
thank you.
Been watching since The Division 1 days, gotta say these styles of videos are the perfect evolution of your content over the years.
Jokes on you, Marco. I did not listen to this in the background. I sat down & watched from start to finish. Keep it up. What I'm here for.
This video randomly came up in my recommended and I've watched through the whole video trying to figure out why I have a weird feeling of deja vu, before releasing this is marcostyle. Never thought I'd see an amazing long-form style video from this channel lol
Dying Light One will forever still be my favorite Zombie and Parkour game
Came for Destiny 2 content, stayed for your deep in-depth videos that really feel like worth the time watching.
Even if videos need more time and uploads don't come that often like in the past, don't feel pushed. Take your time, do what you like. You're really good at it and its a pleasure to watch that kind of content. The editing style, the general effort... it just feels right. Thank you for that, Marco! Zie je later :)
I do agree with the sentiment of "less editing, more frequent" due to the nature of video essays being 2nd monitor fodder. That being said, I'm one of those people who would like to hear your thoughts more often than seing your editing skills - however good they are.
(btw there was more room for explosion.mp3 towards the end)
noted! I like editing and I love to work on stuff that I feel like is my best work yet, but I also really want to get back uploading semi regularly. Reading comments is one of the best parts of being a youtuber and only getting to do that every 3-4 months is not it.
The development team may have intented for Rais to be another Vaas, but he's actually Hoyt. Both characters roll their R's, both wear simliar clothing, both are final bosses, both fights are quick time events knife fights and both of their underlings where yellow uniforms.
I like the heavy editing videos but the “semi editing” style is also really good, in the end, most watch it while doing other things and occasionally look at the screen. In the end Your commentary is what we like the most.
a MarcoStyle video? on Dying Light? after DL2 released a new update that adds in firearms? oh lord we're having a good time with this one.
this is actually pretty crazy (only crazy to me, unless ive never had an original “thought”) you upload something about dying light. i just bought my buddy this game to relive the first game i bought for my ps4 and absolutely loved. and it feels so great to play again, but im always comparing how i personally really dislike dying light 2 for many many reasons. and i tried to reply the second game recently after playing 20 hours but barely remembering the game. and man it just doesnt have the same gritty vibe, and the big reason i just got off entirely was seeing the armor system with different tiers of armor. i play enough games that i got to worry about that, i just want to run around and kill zombies. idk im sure im in the minority of this take.
I absolutely love Dying Light 1, and I'm so happy you made a video on it! Hope this one will do numbers!
Really enjoyable video mate. 100% understand you wanting to tone down on the editing if it'll make your uploads more regular. I personally just listen to your stuff whilst I work/chill and I love hearing you talk about stuff you're clearly interested in (your CoD Zombies video in particular is amazing).
Absolutely love your content right now brother, keep up the good work 👊
I'm kind of glad this video didn't turn out into "why dl1 is better than its sequel", but actually addresses the problems with the original and sequel. Good video mate!
another banger absolutely loving the longer style videos
just wanted to say i really loved your last video style of review. like i’m sure this video is good as well but you truly had something very unique with the starfeild video.
You say this video is less edited than the others, but imo this editing is the sweetspot for these types of videos.
Anyway nice work as always!
Great video well researched and explained. This editing STYLE is right on so more please sir. Thanks again for your time and efforts on a thoroughly entertaining and informative Video. Cheers.
The side missions were pure gold, and gave the game such character
i've been playing a lot of dying light recently and now this upload comes out this was unexpected from Marco lol
hot damn the nostalgia that came over me when i started this video...
this video is so well done bro, I sent it to all my DL friends lol. Cant wait to watch your other stuffs.
I truly enjoy your videos, subscribed since Div1. On this new long format I try to actually watch them first, and then I tend to use them as background noise during working hours couple of times later. One I've seen quite a lot is Starfield experience one, and I really liked the refferences here, lol.
Marcostyle content...without any doubt clicked to watch.
Another great one, but admitting that I really miss the destiny content
Hey man, I've been watching your content since your first Division video, you have been amazing and I'm always filled with joy when I see you upload a new video. ~Maximus
I appreciate that, thank you!
Honestly the following was and still is my favorite dlc ever made , the world and characters were fun but it got bigger and the cars are actually soo much fun :,)
Dying Light has got to be *the* best zombie game ever made.
Amazing video, also you were completely right! It was on my second monitor while I work but great content!
Why I personally love The Following is that it feels very cozy in comparison to the main game. The main game has huge stakes, world-ending catastrophe, a full on war between rival factions and is extremely cramped and crowded the whole way through. The world of the base game *can* be mastered, but the game is very dense, both in level design and theme.
The Following is a lot slower of a burn, and the things you do feel a lot more personal to the community. If you want to just drive around and exist in the countryside, it's honestly pretty relaxing. This is in comparison to the constant freeflow of running through the city, dominated by making tight jumps between rooftops and grappling occasionally to correct for whiffed leaps.
I enjoy running through the city of Harran, both the Slums and Old Town, but I also enjoy the more relaxed and spacious feel of The Following. They are two different ways to take the gameplay of Dying Light and make it enjoyable, and each one is a nice mix up from the other.
This is a great video, thank you for making it :)
I never pretty much agrreed with the opinions of youtubers but i have to say this is my first time watching your channel and u are spot on on everything
More Marco content is always good for me, Highly editted or not.
Its mostly full attention from me both ways.
Big love.
I subbed so I Know when the next video dropped I watched this video in the background and enjoyed thank you the the fire vide
Hidden gem youtube channel
As someone who makes mainly Dying Light content, it's really cool to see you making a video on this 🔥
Funny thing I watched some of your content too when going through dying light 2. Small world.
The Vaas lighter thing makes sense, kinda. Vaas in a previous pulled it out and put it in that pocket, talking about how it was a nice lighter. He knew it was in that pocket, so when he shot Jason there he wasn't trying to kill him.
I think that is a bit of a reach but if I believe hard enough I might be able to convince myself that that is true and appreciate the Far Cry story much more.
What will you ever do without sleepy
I swear we all forget that far cry 3 had 2 islands and vaas dies half way through. Nobody remembers second island
"Hold SPACE to skip" is this game's best storytelling feature.
On the 2nd screen, while at work, in the background, how does he know!!! Love the video, loved all your others, I agree you can tone down the visuals/spectacle, maybe just a cool intro to show off your 3d skills :D but either way this video was fantastic, I haven't played DL2 since release, i didn't know it was being updated and had changed lol this video makes me want to check out the DLC!!
41:04 tackling off a roof as a volatile has got to be one of the most satisfying things ever
Ow shit dude, I've been waiting for this 🤘🤘
Now that intro is what I would call breaking it down, MarcoStyle.
I will not apologize
you forgot to talk about the in-between game: *Dying Light: Bad Blood* released in 2018.
pretty sure its still playable and able to be downloaded...
I don't have a key for that and I can't get it now actually. I wish I could
@@MarcoStyle damn that sucks. I have it in my steam library I am pretty sure I got it from techlands website for free… thanks for the reply tho.
@@MarcoStyle i feel like if you really truly wanted to play it,
you could ask one of your fans or someone random who DOES have it in their steam library to let you use their account for a week and give you their password and stuff.
i dont see why thats impossible, and you aren't some scammer or malicious person so im pretty sure people would be willing to trust you with their personal steam accounts.
I was just thinking the other day that I should play through Dying Light again. It was such a cool game
Nothing will ever beat DL1 as the best zombie game ever. DL2 couldn't.
Yea I definitely listened to this while doing chores and homework so I’d say minimal editing and more communicative format is a lot better and saves you a lot of time :). Plus we’re focusing more on your words rather than what you’re presenting which allows us to further engage in what you have to say rather than being distracted with what’s presented on the screen and ultimately forgetting your points presented.
9:45 "You fetch him some medicine" Proceeds to pick up nails.
In the first game I always found it really annoying that I couldn’t hide the stupid bounty text from the screen
Hei Marco, nice video. I love those long-form video, when you can deep as you want with the content. As I can see after 30 hours from uploading it "only" have 22k visualizations... But don't let this discourage you, as an old subscriber I can say that you are changing your focus to other kind of video and most of your subscribers know you for the funny Destiny video. You need to "rebrand" yourself one step at a time.
I love the style switch
My girlfriend introduced me to Dying Light shortly after I started playing games again and we co-op’d the hell out of it. She had played it before and throughout, it always seemed “scary” and “dangerous” to roam the town day or night. We played the 2nd one and I never felt like I was threatened at all. Even as a low level. Game was a blast but I missed that element.
Have you played DL2 lately? Cause the nights are more dangerous than 1, especially since in 1 you could easily kill Volatiles with guns, which are now in DL2, but they're not as strong
Not sure if anyone commented about this but, the bloody ties dlc actually got worse in a way. When it was freshly released there was a whole segment of you trying to get IN the carnage hall by getting a secret phrase that opens the door (thats why there is a strange, disconnected cutscene of a random bouncer opening the door and letting you in), meeting ciro, who robs you, acts all cocky ect. Him constantly being a dick kinda made me dislike him, but after getting to know him a bit better, made me kind of get attached to him, which made the ending a lot sadder for me when i did kill him. But now, ciro doesnt really feel like someone that important for the player to go into carnage hall and save, he feels... well.. boring. Anyway, i guess a lot of people really disliked him, thats why a decent portion of the dlc kinda got nuked, which is a bummer
I subscribed for the title and video length alone 😂
31:40 the weakness of demolishers are power attacks, they knock off the armor and you can almost one shot them with a good axe or blunt weapon. I’m subbing btw, this is a good video.
the thing is,this game DID take itself to seriously,its the entire reason they whent their own way from the dead island publisher,they wanted to be more serious,idk why it has some of those goofy missions that are goofier than even the dead island ones
Boss fights are a huge Techland weakness, and that weakness persists in Dying Light 2. In fact I think it's even worse there. The open world boss spawns are fine tho because they're not there to be beaten (in DL1), they're there to be an obstacle
Great games. Playing DL 2 and I'm having load of fun.
it's crazy how good 1 still looks
Dying light is my favorite game of all time, nowadays its a right of passage for all my best friends to play it with me at least once so i have another excuse to play it.
💯💯💯
These videos have criminally low views. This is great quality content.
I can confirm, I am listening to this while I work. 🤙
ooh OOH now this will be juicy I too have some takes on this game LOL
New Marco vid on the hub!! RAAAAHHH
As soon as I saw homie flying the wing suit at 15:50 I knew he was dead lol
You gained a new sub!
I completely forgot about the Zee you later part. Thanks for reminding me Marco
The King returns!
i really like the following. i think the story is just what carries it for me
hey new video thanks king
great video thank you :)
Good stuff. I used to love Dying Light, but there were some issues that made me not want to revisit the game. Well, I think I now know why.
Dying Light 1 was easily top 5 of the Xbox One/PS4 era... and still, to thos day, top 10 of my favorite all-time games, period.
The system of sytems this game was built upon created some of the most dynamic and emergent gameplay experiences ever. The parkour and physics-based melee combat make traversing Haran and fighting off the dead highly gratifying. The minute you get the grappling hook, the damn game manages to go from a 10/10 gameplay to a seemingly impossible 20/10!
Also, the music -- my God -- is a John Carpenter-like, synth nightmare that sets a creepy and ominous vibe for the player.
Was the story the best ever? No, but it was good enough to keep you invested without overcomplicating things. If anything, I'd liken it's simplicity to that of your typical 80's action movie, which works perfectly for a video game.
Over the years, I've probably put a good 1,500-2,000 hours into it, across my PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Sadly, my only regret is that I've yet to play the game cooperative. My son is a bit too young for the gore, but when he's of age, we're totally coming back to this masterpiece of a game.
Part 2, however, was quite disappointing and doesn't even feel like the same people were involved. I beat it, on principle, but it was NOT the Dying Light we knew, much less the one they sold us in it's famous E3 debut trailer. What a damm disappointment.
my boy is back
good video man.
never played Dying Light, sense now i need to play to check what Marco is speaking of
godverdomme man je bent terug
33:13 if you play co op on your first playthrough you risk the game just skipping half of the story on your save file. The RPG themed side-mode was way more fun in co-op but it also glitches out near the end and prevented our party from finishing it.
39:43 there is a timer (sort of), if one of the sides either humans or zombie don't engage in combat or nest destroying then one or the other gets kicked. Camping in safezone or water counts too.
Amazing video, but I wanna give one issue that I have with it, and it’s more towards the start of the dying light 2 part, which is why there are no one from dying light one (except for two people). The nuke ending isn’t the cannon ending, it’s actually the ending where crane ends up becoming a volitile.
You should have included the first Dead Island game here. Maybe just a brief summary but since the same people made it I think knowing where their zombie games started would be helpful.
17:35 In Harran, during day you are hunter, but when the sun goes down you become prey
