Matt is definitely the bad guy. The Butcher was extremely kind to Aiden despite Aiden killing his men. Matt however admitted to bribing Steve which was suspicious immediately. And the fact that the Renegade bodies were immediately ordered to be taken away and turned out to be pks which was obvious because Renigades wear masks and show their mouths and the rest of their heads the pks had rags covering their heads. So i knew Jack Matt wasn't the good guy he tried pretending to be. And then him demanding to be allowed to raid the Renegade Compound so he could kill Williams seemed off. Almost like Matt knew that Williams knew something and wanted him dead to prevent the truth from coming out. And then he attacks Aiden and tried getting the pks to attack The Nightrunners where Frank reveals that Matt tried killing him and the Pks arrest Matt.
I agree, and the way he ran the peacekeepers I would say kind of gives it away. Very power hungry. Oppressive regime. No understanding for you siding with survivors as well as peacekeepers. The PKs are lucky I have to give them 4 spots on the map to get the crossbow, otherwise they'd have nothing.
@@neowolf09 Lol, I went PK’s all the way until near the end where I accidentally switched sides. I won’t lie, I chose PK’s because I loved that they had so many traps and stuff in the cities they have control of AND I came into this game right after completing the first Dying Light. Unfortunately, I think I only used traps a couple times because running through the city at night wasn’t difficult like in the first game. I thought as soon as night came, there would be volatiles out and a whole ton of virals….Lol, it kinda took me some time to get used to it. I didn’t think there would be so many UV zones and what-not. I came to like the PK’s though, tbh, until it was discovered that they had punishments for prisoners that were pretty messed up, like flogging for example. At one point, I accidentally sided with Juan over Matt and I think that’s when I supposedly chose a different path. Plus…Juan was pretty cool. From my perspective, he liked the finer things in life and wants to keep living and wants the world to keep on surviving whereas Matt had that cough going on and, like you said, he sounded power hungry AF. I figured he didn’t care what the end result was for everyone else as long as he obtained his end goal. I also made a ton of other weird choices, lol. I ended up sparing Hakon every single encounter because it seemed like there was more to him and in the end it did actually pay off which was cool. I wanted to play again and pick different choices but I get way too side tracked in these open world games….I was way too overleveled by the end.

Listen to the cpt posner tapes they show he was evil he was responsible for the war and he dint listen to evacuation order and he killed cpt posner matt was hungry for power
Honestly they should make a TV series of dying light.. It's so interesting to listen to the people ingame what they did when the apocalypse began! Imagine seeing some different people as main characters in a TV series and also showing what happened inside the GRE from the view of a person working in the laboratory. At first you see the normal life of the main characters, what they did for a living, what kind of hobbys, friends and family they had and in every episode the outbreak comes closer. Two days before the outbreak things are going crazy. A lot of people heard about a zombie accident and all people are nervous. The GRE is present in the television and still wants to fool humanity with their TRV project and lies to all people. Some people don't trust the GRE because of what in Harran happened and start to leave the city, some stay and try to barricade their houses. God damn it i would love such a series! In dying light 2 you can sit down at the campfires where's a book symbol. There are people telling storys and it's interesting to listen to them. Sometimes you also find an old telephone where old messages are on the answering machine and they tell storys from the past. One person said she was at work and called her husband. She told him he needs to pick the kids up and they have to meet at a certain point in the city and get away together, she repeatedly told him to trust him just one time in his life. The sad thing is that this message was on the answering machine and it seems her husband never heard that message.. Another person was talking about her father. He was working as exterminator and the government forced him to clean a special kind of house. She followed her father and the people from the government to the house and she was hiding in a bush in front of it. He had to walk into the house and came out after some minutes, then he talked to the people from the government and said that there are no cokroaches or some insects, he said there are zombies inside. The woman realised her father had to kill zombies and she thinks she heard about zombies 2 weeks before the global outbreak.
Yeah that would be so awesome. Since it would just add to more awesome Zombie apocalypse TV series like The Walking Dead on AMC and now this year we are also getting HBO The Last of Us. I think Dying Light would actually make a great Netflix Streaming series.
I wanna see the build up to when the zombies ended up ruining what we know as the world, first and second season build up around Harran, and the final season or two ends off at the beginning of this games story, just suggesting, but it doesn’t sound half bad
jack matt could have been in charge of the evac and decided to ignore the order or instead he orderd the strikes and made sure his evac squads failed so he could initiate a coup .or he owned aidens GRE key and used it to bomb villedor. whether he stole the key or not and later it came into lucases possession starting dying light 2
In my first playthrough I sided with Matt and the Peacekeepers most of the way(aside from Old Villedor when I helped Bazaar) I had my doubts about Matt after Juan got executed, and when I met the Colonel, and he didn't kill me and Lawan on sight after slaughtering like 1000 of his men in the past days I realised that the Matt was worse and decided to trust Williams. And my suspicion was finally confirmed when Matt showed up with the Peacekeepers to kill me after helping him out with everything just because I didn't kill the Colonel, without even giving Aiden a chance to explain himself, even when Aiden told him that he has to find Mia, Matt still orders his men to kill Aiden
Something that you might've missed since it's not hugely overt. I am strongly of the impression that the Renegade compound at the dam is the FIRST time you ever fight Williams' men. The Renegades in the city are the ones that Waltz turned and commands. They are more animalistic and quite subhuman in my honest opinion. The men with Williams are ex-soldiers who seemingly run a very quaint peaceful community. (The dialogue and voice spoken to the van driver as you approach has got to be deliberately plot-holey to throw you off right before the reveal, when you see children playing happily in a nice garden area, accompanied by not Renegadey looking Renegades. In short, Williams had nothing to do with the attacks on the canteen, the random hangings and burnings of PKs around the city, the cannibalism of Villador civilians, and the kidnapping and torturing of Survivors.
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 Hmm yes you're right, I found out a bit later after I posted this that the Renegades sent in the city weren't sent by Williams, but by Waltz. And that makes sense, Williams was never the "bad guy" and a "Butcher", like you said, he made a good community with his former soldiers and some civilians that joined them after the Civil War ended, and after he stopped the Missile Strike of the city. Even Williams said that he only took Waltz in because he could give his soldiers drugs that made them stronger, which turned most of William's men into the zombie-like humans that we're seeing in the Central Loop. So basically, Matt is the real Butcher because he refused to evacuate the civilians during the chemical strike, and Williams even told Matt to do that. And he has a narcissistic obsession of having the power and build a legacy of himself, probably why he rised up against Williams, claiming that he was responsible for the Chemical strikes, and why he was so obsessed with attacking the dam.
@@uncleflagzz Even though when Aiden says that if could not stop waltz, everyone will die by a missile strike. But matt replied to Aiden "You have to die here coz you are a traitor. This means Aiden didn't lower the bulkhead & didn't let matt kill Williams. Matt has nothing if thousands of people die. He doesn't think for people.
Peacekeeper has great people like Aitor but has bad leader like Jack Matt. Free Folks has worst people like Sophie, her braindead bodyguard and her psychopath brother but has best leader like Frank
PKs have Rowe, Aitor, all of Rowe's squad, Burt and the dispatch lady as good people, the rest are just pricks. Jack Matt is the worst one. Survivors have the dog hunting family, Barney's psycho ass but he's alright somewhat, Herman and Sophie. But also have Chris who is quite creepy. And they have Frank who is the best character. Renegades have two sides, Walt's men and The Butcher's men, Walt's men are extremely evil while the Butcher's men seem calmer but will still attack you. But all renegades seem to be honest. The butcher doesn't lie about wanting to help so thats a plus.
The lower ranking Peacekeepers would treat you atleast like a human but the Survivors would of gutted you if they didnt need a errand boi. Frank was smart and knew what the hell to do while Matt Patt was being as bad as Rai.
Spoiler: Still cut about Veronika's death lmao, she seemed like a pretty interesting character that could of added more to the story, but then died in the most brutal way possible.
Aiden literally went beast mode on her 💀. But seriously, the fact that even the subtitles point out that aiden was horrified after witnessing what he had done, it got me, I assumed aiden could only see flashes of his infected form, and not actually remember much
@@lm_slayer1 at the end of the game I assume he has a kinda grip on it considering that if you save lawan you start killing her and then have a moment of sense and save her, plus when you try going to sleep after the end you have a seizure and go to sleep again, plus when your infection counter goes low you get that volatile mode
I don't trust the government all that much so I tend to take an archaic view of civilization in games. So I trusted Juan and went on the full support in favor of the Survivors, and I trusted the Colonel when confronting him. And all those choices lead to exposing Matt. Juan was really telling the truth pretty much. Please keep these lore videos rolling btw. I love them and I want to see you dissect this series bone dry!
He definitely tried killing Frank, but that doesn't mean he's responsible for a different crime. The Colonel never says Matt did it even when given the opportunity. So why would an innocent man not blame the one whose guilty?
@@PresAlexWhit Some characters choose to remain silent when they knew no one would believe them anyway. Not saying I'm 100% sure but the fact that Matt personally killed the sole investigator who can confirm if he really did it makes him a number 1 person of interest. Almost every information that the game provides is stacked against Matt. • He has a personal grudge against Williams. • He accused Williams without evidence or reason aside from March Massacre, which is a separate crime, of course I want to held Williams accountable for that. • A statement of a whistleblower and a series of investigation tape correlates and supports one another despite the fact that the whistleblower didn't know the existence of the tapes. • Matt never presented any counter evidence. • If there's an evidence or dialogue that supports Matt's defense, I'll gladly want to know about it.
It’s dumb the butcher appears for 5 minutes despite being so important. Hopefully a following type expansion could make use of the sunken city area and his gang.
@@manuelb5466 the bugs are the most frustrating part, specially the parkoursystem bugs, the system itself is cool and all but when my man Aiden starts doing parkour on some pile of dirt in the middle of a bossfight its kinda getting annoying
@@manuelb5466 Oh damn. That sucks. Well, I'm sure whether I buy it now or later, patches will have to be downloaded eventually. So I'm not too worried. But thanks though. I appreciate you letting me know.
Less than 5 settlments are left on the entire island according to Aiden when Aitor mentions his family that were left behind and haven't heard from them in 10 years
A PK asks about London since his family is or was around and in the city. Aiden says it was bad for England, and London doesn't exist anymore. And that there are only about 4 settlements total on the entire island of England.
I sided with Juan and the colonel. The city doesn't seem to end up so well after doing so. It mentions 40 people being trampled in food rationing lines. I'm not sure what the other endings are like, but it can't be much worse.
The PK ending is the same typical "military iz bad guiz" stuff you'd expect, they start hanging families if even one member steals water and other stuff in that vein.
Do I think Matt sabotaged his own unit for power yes, do I think he’s responsible for the bombings no, because at the time the army was still in charge so I don’t see a simple major ordering the bombing of half the city while a colonel and general were still alive and in charge
I think that the failsafe protocol was an automated response triggered by a computer, and colonel Williams powered down the Dynamo car factory to stop it, by killing the power to X13.
@@usarkarzts4207 I don’t think so because when you go around the city and talk to people and hear their stories there’s one guy who was a military pilot and he tells us that he got orders to drop the bombs and he tells us how they were only given enough fuel to go there and back
@@acemonoxide5249 i don't think so. In the game ending you are clearly told that the failsafe protocol was reactivated when the power was turned on again, and during the final missions you can se the missiles hitting the city, and in X13 you see the missile silo
watching these "explained videos" because i finished the game with only listening to half of the dialogue because it would bug out and wouldnt let me hear/read the subtitles/audio
Damn when I played to the story I must’ve took an easy way through because half of these events I just came up in this video I didn’t really see it I probably wasn’t paying attention but I’m definitely replaying so I could make the story last longer and uncover some stuff because in my ending Juan and Williams took control of the city
I know its a videogame, but under no circumstances would the GRE had been able to survive the first scrutiny and then go on to do THIS. Wish days gone 2 wasnt canceled. They seemed to be really good with story telling and it actually seemed viable how that virus spread so fast and well WITH MINIMAL BS that would normally be questioned
i understand, the only thing that makes sense is that the GRE might be the only ones that where able to find a cure due to them having the data on the virus so the government desperately gave them an exception if they gave all their resources towards containing the virus and finding a cure
My entire play through was fuck the Bazaar for not only trying to hang me but constantly being assholes and a liability using me to achieve their own selfish goals and wants where the PKs were helpful and chill (mostly) but then once hitting the big city I aided the survivors all the way to the very end and glad I made the right choices
I ended up siding with the renegades on my first playthrough with Juan becoming leader but even when he tried to silence the protests for water he couldnt handle it Colonel Willams holding his place yes was scared and made bad mistakes (siding with walts) but I would believe Jack is power hungry especially by making your own version of the army why not go with other civilians instead of creating the Peacekeepers let alone leaving the Survivors at the Bazzar to be eaten by the infected all of these small snippets of information could actually leave Jack Matt responsible for the Monday Bombings
@@Wolverine-ky9gk yes you can if you were asking the question just switch chu sides keep the Bazzar and in the city let the peacekeepers own most of it to get Juan's missions and side with him and then let Lawan go to the renegades base
Come on, you know all it would take is some rich bloke who’s infected, taking a private jet from Harran to somewhere in the world and spreading it at a business meeting. You wouldn’t be able to contain something like this, it’s impossible…
@@GamingHarryYT Yh fair enough it would also the first place I would want to go an island off the cost of Scotland hell I’ll go to Greenland somewhere nobody would want to live
@@definitelyapersonandnotadog remember everyone is infected all it takes is for them to stay in the dark for a bit until they turn and get more people which is prolly how it spread
@@Turtleblade I don’t really play horror games I just like to watch videos on them to find out the story and I thought that just happened in the city when they released the gas or did they do that around the world
Really, there’s no good ending: Survivor ending, nothings changed, humanity still hides on rooftops, but there’s less people killing each other. Peacekeepers ending, they deal with 80% of the zombie threat but have extreme rules where you’ll die if you break them. Water is apparently an issue and you probably have to earn your living by paying for water/food Renegades ending, they deal with the zombie population but make barely any effort in keeping order on the streets (mass riots and murders), however everyone is “treated equal” with food/water being handed out to each of the citizens.
A military or company spec ops story would be cool like resident evil umbrella agent guy for a filler before the next installment a giant Sand box mmo or better would be cool
The Banshee comic is non canon. It's an in game comic book. It's deemed an "Urban Legend" by Techland and promoted as such. Also Juan mentions that Matt is the one who actually dropped the bombs when he's about to be executed, but nobody else in the entire game, not even The Colonel, confirms this. The Colonel is known as The Butcher because of the 2 million citizens of Villedor who died in the Black Monday Bombing, not March Massacre which was lead by General Pratt (USING soldiers loyal to Williams. He didn't actually do it himself). But again, this is a fantastic video, man. I believe it would be better to have the recordings play during the video so viewers can hear it.
I know this game isn't supposed to be realistic and what not... who cares right?, but one thing I can not get my head around is these big ass luscious trees growing in a few inches of dirt on a roof top.
Well life finds a way, i year ago i found big radish with a big stem in a hole in my kitchen the only thing it had was humidity yet still it was bigger than what i could remember
Is anyone else wondering how this new outbreak managed to jump oceans when quarantines and martial law should have been declared? I mean, don't you think the other countries across oceans could have seen a mass outbreak in Europe and been able to cease all flights and shipments to their own countries?.
Haha look at the real world response to our own pandemic. Countries still allowed travel despite stronger variants being discovered. If a virus wants to spread, then it will.
@@GamingHarryYT I mean there's a pretty significant difference between COVID and this virus. Yes, I can see it spreading. I'm not saying it's not possible. I still want a better explanation. Also, did they happen to mention how the entire United States power grid went down?
No but how power grids work (in the UK at least), is that energy companies produce their own energy resources and share them with the national grid. I can only imagine that if there’s a pandemic, there’s no staff producing these energy sources, so it eventually shuts down.
When it comes to Jack, I reckon almost everything he says is self-serving bullshit. Williams and his men are shown to be compassionate, peaceful (if a little guarded) individuals with no ill-intent or devious plans for the city. The Colonel himself was fully prepared to die if it meant his wife was spared, he risked everything he had to appeal to Aiden's good nature and humanity, and even did everything in his power to atone for his mistake in siding with Waltz before realising he was bad news. Therefore, I do not believe Williams asked Jack to shoot a civilian (even if he did, he has come to regret those actions and is a changed man since), and likely did not cause the chemical strike (or the missile strike either), and possibly not even the mass shooting. Jack has been twisting perception of Williams for years so he could eventually kill him off and wipe his hands of anyone who still knew the truth. The Peacekeepers are not bad, they are just victims of deceptive leadership.
In the game, Matt may not be the best, but I am going to take choices that lead to the survival of humanity, and I think the peacekeepers are a necessary evil. After all, Bandits and Zombies are the largest threat to human life (along with suicide). These problems can be solved with a strong military that can arrest bandits, clear zombies, and give people purpose, whatever that may be. After all, it is better for survival if a house or new land can be cleared out by a military and fortified, as it can be used to farm or live, increasing survival rates. There are also a limited number of zombies, and if those can be whittled down by traps and the like by significant amounts more and more people will survive.
Do the Good Ending where you side with the survivors. Tyranny is not the only option for the survival of humanity. It's not a necessary evil. In real life and in video games, that type of mentality is exactly what perpetuates it, excuses it, and allows it to exist.
@@tfthief4931 I'm not siding with the survivors. The survivors are inefficient and are not taking any proactive steps toward a better future. In an ideal world the two factions would work together. The peacekeepers, unfortunately, are a better option here as they will beat back zombies and be prepared for pirates and such. But they were ultimately just as bad as the survivors.
@@catcadev You know the funny thing is you are objectively wrong here. Look up videos of the various endings. Siding with the Peacekeepers is the bad ending. They murder innocents and create a dictatorship while the survivors create a safe haven and a community. You are literally wrong, the game shows it to your face idk why you're disagreeing 💀
@@tfthief4931 The game never shows that they do that. In the game I was presented with two options. I can choose the survivors, who waste resources on terrible people, infight, and which are ill-equipped for the apocalypse (instead of trying to work with the peacekeepers thay choose instead to fight them) or I can choose the Peacekeepers, who form squads and actively combat the number one safety threat. Zombies. The survivors didn't give me a reason to root for them so I rooted for the PKs. As soon as the renegades were the only option to attempt to save Villedor from a missile attack I chose them. Unfourtunately Aidan does not have the ability to explain himself so I killed Jack Matt and then the Butcher. I'd also argue the ending was framed as worse than it actually is. A mandated curfew? Horrible! Keeping all of us free people in our homes overnight, when the zombies (volatiles too) are out roaming? God forbid! They are also shown to be hanging theives and renegades, this is bad. Under the circumstances (extreme) these measures could be justified under some measures for the survival of the last city of humanity and the species. That is what I banked on the whole game, I took the route that could save the most people in my mind. The peacekeepers can do that. There are only so many zombies. Imagine if they could systematically fight off whole areas of the city. They could free up the living space and land for use by everyone. The survivors make a soup kitchen. Great idea but not gonna cut it for the survival of the species.
Oh! Should I mention the game never once indicates the outcome? Never ONCE! The ending felt totally arbitrary to me. I had to force myself to complete the game, as a matter of fact. The writing was horrible. The best part of the game for me was the book side-quest.
I believe matt wanted more power, his own army and the butcher simply carried out orders. I never trusted the peacekeepers, pretending to be military men when the world was already over and failing to save people in need, blindly carrying out matt's orders for his own personal gain.

And he has a narcissistic obsession of having the power and build a legacy of himself, probably why he rised up against Williams, claiming that he was responsible for the Chemical strikes, and why he was so obsessed with attacking the dam.
@@uncleflagzz Even though when Aiden says that if could not stop waltz, everyone will die by a missile strike. But matt replied to Aiden "You have to die here coz you are a traitor. This means Aiden didn't lower the bulkhead & didn't let matt kill Williams. Matt has nothing if thousands of people die. He doesn't think for people.
Peacekeeper has great people like Aitor but has bad leader like Jack Matt.
Free Folks has worst people like Sophie, her braindead bodyguard and her psychopath brother but has best leader like Frank
People are allieing with PK bro...
PKs have Rowe, Aitor, all of Rowe's squad, Burt and the dispatch lady as good people, the rest are just pricks. Jack Matt is the worst one.
Survivors have the dog hunting family, Barney's psycho ass but he's alright somewhat, Herman and Sophie. But also have Chris who is quite creepy. And they have Frank who is the best character.
Renegades have two sides, Walt's men and The Butcher's men, Walt's men are extremely evil while the Butcher's men seem calmer but will still attack you. But all renegades seem to be honest. The butcher doesn't lie about wanting to help so thats a plus.
The lower ranking Peacekeepers would treat you atleast like a human but the Survivors would of gutted you if they didnt need a errand boi.
Frank was smart and knew what the hell to do while Matt Patt was being as bad as Rai.
Herman isn't braindead, he's mostly deaf due to some kind of explosion, iirc a grenade :/
Spoiler:
Still cut about Veronika's death lmao, she seemed like a pretty interesting character that could of added more to the story, but then died in the most brutal way possible.
I know right. I was shocked!
Yeah that surprised me big time on my first play through
Aiden literally went beast mode on her 💀. But seriously, the fact that even the subtitles point out that aiden was horrified after witnessing what he had done, it got me, I assumed aiden could only see flashes of his infected form, and not actually remember much
@@lm_slayer1 at the end of the game I assume he has a kinda grip on it considering that if you save lawan you start killing her and then have a moment of sense and save her, plus when you try going to sleep after the end you have a seizure and go to sleep again, plus when your infection counter goes low you get that volatile mode
@@Arger54 then immunity gets to 0, there’s no volatile mod, just start losing hp and stamina cost for all actions becomes +-10x more
I don't trust the government all that much so I tend to take an archaic view of civilization in games. So I trusted Juan and went on the full support in favor of the Survivors, and I trusted the Colonel when confronting him. And all those choices lead to exposing Matt. Juan was really telling the truth pretty much.
Please keep these lore videos rolling btw. I love them and I want to see you dissect this series bone dry!
Matt is definitely responsible as the path i chose later reveals that matt ordered franks murder as frank was starting to
Become suspicious
He definitely tried killing Frank, but that doesn't mean he's responsible for a different crime. The Colonel never says Matt did it even when given the opportunity. So why would an innocent man not blame the one whose guilty?
@@PresAlexWhit
Some characters choose to remain silent when they knew no one would believe them anyway. Not saying I'm 100% sure but the fact that Matt personally killed the sole investigator who can confirm if he really did it makes him a number 1 person of interest. Almost every information that the game provides is stacked against Matt.
• He has a personal grudge against Williams.
• He accused Williams without evidence or reason aside from March Massacre, which is a separate crime, of course I want to held Williams accountable for that.
• A statement of a whistleblower and a series of investigation tape correlates and supports one another despite the fact that the whistleblower didn't know the existence of the tapes.
• Matt never presented any counter evidence.
• If there's an evidence or dialogue that supports Matt's defense, I'll gladly want to know about it.
@@froilanflorentino1252 I believe you misread my comment. I said Matt did it.
MAN I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! you explain the lore so perfect bro, please keep these coming! 🔥
It’s dumb the butcher appears for 5 minutes despite being so important. Hopefully a following type expansion could make use of the sunken city area and his gang.
can you do what happened at the vnc tower with the night runners next? i always thought that the topic was pretty cool but i don’t fully understand it
I got a photo of the banshee in game with the necklace xD
I seriously got to get my hands on this game.
It’s great dude
@@jameshayes6366 So many great games this month.
I reccomend you wait until they fix the bugs. There have been times where I have to restart the game after just 10 minutes
@@manuelb5466 the bugs are the most frustrating part, specially the parkoursystem bugs, the system itself is cool and all but when my man Aiden starts doing parkour on some pile of dirt in the middle of a bossfight its kinda getting annoying
@@manuelb5466 Oh damn. That sucks. Well, I'm sure whether I buy it now or later, patches will have to be downloaded eventually. So I'm not too worried. But thanks though. I appreciate you letting me know.
Don’t they say in the story that a few cities across London are still around? I know he says something about it but I don’t remember what exactly
Less than 5 settlments are left on the entire island according to Aiden when Aitor mentions his family that were left behind and haven't heard from them in 10 years
A PK asks about London since his family is or was around and in the city. Aiden says it was bad for England, and London doesn't exist anymore. And that there are only about 4 settlements total on the entire island of England.
Harran still exists. In fact there are people still in there.
Paris is still kicking somehow. Although they are "new Paris" now. Bet that place is better than the city.
@@hyndquart5241 Looks like new paris will be the new city for dl3, if they ever gonna make one
Thanks, very useful and well presented video! :)
I like the side-characters more than the main-characters
Lieutenant Rowe was the best
I think Jack Matt did it. No real reason to add that last bit unless he's guilty.
I sided with Juan and the colonel. The city doesn't seem to end up so well after doing so. It mentions 40 people being trampled in food rationing lines. I'm not sure what the other endings are like, but it can't be much worse.
The PK ending is the same typical "military iz bad guiz" stuff you'd expect, they start hanging families if even one member steals water and other stuff in that vein.
Explain black friday next pls
Easy. Crazy people trample each other for discount goods, leading to the downfall of humanity. The end.
@@GamingHarryYT new sub earned:)
@@GamingHarryYT now black summer next
Do I think Matt sabotaged his own unit for power yes, do I think he’s responsible for the bombings no, because at the time the army was still in charge so I don’t see a simple major ordering the bombing of half the city while a colonel and general were still alive and in charge
I think that the failsafe protocol was an automated response triggered by a computer, and colonel Williams powered down the Dynamo car factory to stop it, by killing the power to X13.
@@usarkarzts4207 I don’t think so because when you go around the city and talk to people and hear their stories there’s one guy who was a military pilot and he tells us that he got orders to drop the bombs and he tells us how they were only given enough fuel to go there and back
@@acemonoxide5249 i don't think so. In the game ending you are clearly told that the failsafe protocol was reactivated when the power was turned on again, and during the final missions you can se the missiles hitting the city, and in X13 you see the missile silo
@@usarkarzts4207 I apologize but we’re talking about different things the black Monday bombings is when the army dropped the Chemicals on the city
@@acemonoxide5249 yes, I know. And Williams tells you that he stopped the attack. But that the failsafe protocol has been reactivated.
watching these "explained videos" because i finished the game with only listening to half of the dialogue because it would bug out and wouldnt let me hear/read the subtitles/audio
This just looks like techland wanted their own little glowing sea from fallout, looks great tho and gives off a good atmosphere.
Damn when I played to the story I must’ve took an easy way through because half of these events I just came up in this video I didn’t really see it I probably wasn’t paying attention but I’m definitely replaying so I could make the story last longer and uncover some stuff because in my ending Juan and Williams took control of the city
Dude your voice awesome and it would be perfect for those spooky videos/story's that are on TH-cam
I know its a videogame, but under no circumstances would the GRE had been able to survive the first scrutiny and then go on to do THIS.
Wish days gone 2 wasnt canceled.
They seemed to be really good with story telling and it actually seemed viable how that virus spread so fast and well
WITH MINIMAL BS that would normally be questioned
i understand, the only thing that makes sense is that the GRE might be the only ones that where able to find a cure due to them having the data on the virus so the government desperately gave them an exception if they gave all their resources towards containing the virus and finding a cure
@@moriderschowitz5020 yeah and even that imo.
They would have 0 room to fuck up.
I doubt the goverment would F that up
@@Lemontarts01 in the council of mankind tapes you find out that they are under strict supervision from the army as well
My entire play through was fuck the Bazaar for not only trying to hang me but constantly being assholes and a liability using me to achieve their own selfish goals and wants where the PKs were helpful and chill (mostly) but then once hitting the big city I aided the survivors all the way to the very end and glad I made the right choices
I can’t wait to play this game!
Imagine a dying light game in Paris
Like you could just swing around the top of the Eiffel Tower with the grappling hook
Of course it's always the GRE, isn't it?
I like how this was uploaded on a Monday
I ended up siding with the renegades on my first playthrough with Juan becoming leader but even when he tried to silence the protests for water he couldnt handle it Colonel Willams holding his place yes was scared and made bad mistakes (siding with walts) but I would believe Jack is power hungry especially by making your own version of the army why not go with other civilians instead of creating the Peacekeepers let alone leaving the Survivors at the Bazzar to be eaten by the infected all of these small snippets of information could actually leave Jack Matt responsible for the Monday Bombings
You can actually side with the renegades
@@Wolverine-ky9gk yes you can if you were asking the question just switch chu sides keep the Bazzar and in the city let the peacekeepers own most of it to get Juan's missions and side with him and then let Lawan go to the renegades base
What about the islands in the Pacific,Atlantic or mediterranean or can the infected swim?
Come on, you know all it would take is some rich bloke who’s infected, taking a private jet from Harran to somewhere in the world and spreading it at a business meeting. You wouldn’t be able to contain something like this, it’s impossible…
@@GamingHarryYT Yh fair enough it would also the first place I would want to go an island off the cost of Scotland hell I’ll go to Greenland somewhere nobody would want to live
The only reason I thought it was because of a quiet place when the island was okay but knowing my luck I’ll has the same ending like dawn of the dead
@@definitelyapersonandnotadog remember everyone is infected all it takes is for them to stay in the dark for a bit until they turn and get more people which is prolly how it spread
@@Turtleblade I don’t really play horror games I just like to watch videos on them to find out the story and I thought that just happened in the city when they released the gas or did they do that around the world
I think Renegate Ending is better than Peacekeeper Ending. Survival Ending is the BEST.
What the ending where 40 people die instead of 6? Giving the city to the renegades just creates chaos, where war lords stand above everyone else
Do you prepare the dictatorship instead of the anarchy?
It can create a new reign.
Really, there’s no good ending:
Survivor ending, nothings changed, humanity still hides on rooftops, but there’s less people killing each other.
Peacekeepers ending, they deal with 80% of the zombie threat but have extreme rules where you’ll die if you break them. Water is apparently an issue and you probably have to earn your living by paying for water/food
Renegades ending, they deal with the zombie population but make barely any effort in keeping order on the streets (mass riots and murders), however everyone is “treated equal” with food/water being handed out to each of the citizens.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do you have a video about the March massacre? Would love to hear your take on it.
A military or company spec ops story would be cool like resident evil umbrella agent guy for a filler before the next installment a giant Sand box mmo or better would be cool
Cool video
The Banshee comic is non canon. It's an in game comic book. It's deemed an "Urban Legend" by Techland and promoted as such.
Also Juan mentions that Matt is the one who actually dropped the bombs when he's about to be executed, but nobody else in the entire game, not even The Colonel, confirms this.
The Colonel is known as The Butcher because of the 2 million citizens of Villedor who died in the Black Monday Bombing, not March Massacre which was lead by General Pratt (USING soldiers loyal to Williams. He didn't actually do it himself).
But again, this is a fantastic video, man. I believe it would be better to have the recordings play during the video so viewers can hear it.
Damn so the pic of the banshee I killed with the necklace on if just a Easter egg then xD
Gnarly. Let's go!
IM SOOOO INLOVE WITH THIS CHANNEL! xx
Say what you want about the story (it’s not great in my opinion) but the world building throughout the two games is nothing short of unreal.
I know this game isn't supposed to be realistic and what not... who cares right?, but one thing I can not get my head around is these big ass luscious trees growing in a few inches of dirt on a roof top.
Well life finds a way, i year ago i found big radish with a big stem in a hole in my kitchen the only thing it had was humidity yet still it was bigger than what i could remember
I'm really really liking this game its buggy but I'm really enjoying it
i thought this was like black friday.
I think dying light 3 might be in space because of the space cock side mission
19 december is my birthday xd
You gotta do a story explained on control!!!
Well, they ain't gonna put that rubbish speech and ah very obvious dodge if an answer from who is receiving that accusation for nothing.
Is anyone else wondering how this new outbreak managed to jump oceans when quarantines and martial law should have been declared? I mean, don't you think the other countries across oceans could have seen a mass outbreak in Europe and been able to cease all flights and shipments to their own countries?.
Haha look at the real world response to our own pandemic. Countries still allowed travel despite stronger variants being discovered. If a virus wants to spread, then it will.
@@GamingHarryYT I mean there's a pretty significant difference between COVID and this virus. Yes, I can see it spreading. I'm not saying it's not possible. I still want a better explanation. Also, did they happen to mention how the entire United States power grid went down?
If anything else, I would imagine it jumped something like how the red flu jumped in the last ship if you've seen that.
No but how power grids work (in the UK at least), is that energy companies produce their own energy resources and share them with the national grid. I can only imagine that if there’s a pandemic, there’s no staff producing these energy sources, so it eventually shuts down.
Personally I think both of them are responsible
This game is great lol
When it comes to Jack, I reckon almost everything he says is self-serving bullshit. Williams and his men are shown to be compassionate, peaceful (if a little guarded) individuals with no ill-intent or devious plans for the city. The Colonel himself was fully prepared to die if it meant his wife was spared, he risked everything he had to appeal to Aiden's good nature and humanity, and even did everything in his power to atone for his mistake in siding with Waltz before realising he was bad news. Therefore, I do not believe Williams asked Jack to shoot a civilian (even if he did, he has come to regret those actions and is a changed man since), and likely did not cause the chemical strike (or the missile strike either), and possibly not even the mass shooting. Jack has been twisting perception of Williams for years so he could eventually kill him off and wipe his hands of anyone who still knew the truth. The Peacekeepers are not bad, they are just victims of deceptive leadership.
In the game, Matt may not be the best, but I am going to take choices that lead to the survival of humanity, and I think the peacekeepers are a necessary evil. After all, Bandits and Zombies are the largest threat to human life (along with suicide). These problems can be solved with a strong military that can arrest bandits, clear zombies, and give people purpose, whatever that may be. After all, it is better for survival if a house or new land can be cleared out by a military and fortified, as it can be used to farm or live, increasing survival rates. There are also a limited number of zombies, and if those can be whittled down by traps and the like by significant amounts more and more people will survive.
Do the Good Ending where you side with the survivors. Tyranny is not the only option for the survival of humanity. It's not a necessary evil. In real life and in video games, that type of mentality is exactly what perpetuates it, excuses it, and allows it to exist.
@@tfthief4931 I'm not siding with the survivors. The survivors are inefficient and are not taking any proactive steps toward a better future. In an ideal world the two factions would work together. The peacekeepers, unfortunately, are a better option here as they will beat back zombies and be prepared for pirates and such. But they were ultimately just as bad as the survivors.
@@catcadev You know the funny thing is you are objectively wrong here. Look up videos of the various endings. Siding with the Peacekeepers is the bad ending. They murder innocents and create a dictatorship while the survivors create a safe haven and a community. You are literally wrong, the game shows it to your face idk why you're disagreeing 💀
@@tfthief4931 The game never shows that they do that. In the game I was presented with two options. I can choose the survivors, who waste resources on terrible people, infight, and which are ill-equipped for the apocalypse (instead of trying to work with the peacekeepers thay choose instead to fight them) or I can choose the Peacekeepers, who form squads and actively combat the number one safety threat. Zombies. The survivors didn't give me a reason to root for them so I rooted for the PKs. As soon as the renegades were the only option to attempt to save Villedor from a missile attack I chose them. Unfourtunately Aidan does not have the ability to explain himself so I killed Jack Matt and then the Butcher. I'd also argue the ending was framed as worse than it actually is. A mandated curfew? Horrible! Keeping all of us free people in our homes overnight, when the zombies (volatiles too) are out roaming? God forbid! They are also shown to be hanging theives and renegades, this is bad. Under the circumstances (extreme) these measures could be justified under some measures for the survival of the last city of humanity and the species. That is what I banked on the whole game, I took the route that could save the most people in my mind. The peacekeepers can do that. There are only so many zombies. Imagine if they could systematically fight off whole areas of the city. They could free up the living space and land for use by everyone. The survivors make a soup kitchen. Great idea but not gonna cut it for the survival of the species.
Oh! Should I mention the game never once indicates the outcome? Never ONCE! The ending felt totally arbitrary to me. I had to force myself to complete the game, as a matter of fact. The writing was horrible. The best part of the game for me was the book side-quest.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN EXCUSE THE PUN. It was the bomb! *cough*
Dying light 2 story' is oddly the same with Corona virus but don't turn peaplo to be crazy
It’s more that the non-infected are crazy these days
Kaiserreich fans seeing "Black monday"
Kaiserreich fans: *shudders*
I believe matt wanted more power, his own army and the butcher simply carried out orders. I never trusted the peacekeepers, pretending to be military men when the world was already over and failing to save people in need, blindly carrying out matt's orders for his own personal gain.
The banshee comic was garbage with garbage writing, I see why people consider it non-canon
