@AllPunandGames I was poking fun at one of the inconsistent story beats in the game where you are told to find a guy in solitary confinement (which is where prisoners are kept completely isolated from other prisoners) but the cell he is in is clearly not solitary. There are a few times Dead Island messed things up like that.
@@EvenBadWolvesGamingthat makes sense. Like I said, I’m an idiot. Also you didn’t mention the bloater Rainer who is a bloater/numen who is fully conscious.
My brother always told me Sinamoi looks like a Koala bear if it was a person. That has nothing to do with the video, it's just funny and hard to unsee once you got the image in your head
OG dead island was a amazing game, I loved playing it when I was younger I still play it with my childhood buddies when we get together and stay the night during 4th of July, feels like a tradition now lol
Showed my boy dead island on ps3 the year it came out after getting it at GameStop on my bday, we just platinumed all 3 after months of work and plenty nights crying laughing 😂
So, from what I've gotten from this. Dead Island 1 & Riptide is essentially Resident Evil Escape from Dead Island is Groundhog Day And Dead Island 2 is basically [PROTOTYPE] combined with Evangelion Neon Genesis, but with zombies and A.I
And all of them have a Ubisoft Far Cry look and feel. I deadass thought Dead Island 1 was a Far Cry 2 reskin at first and Dead Island 2 based on Far Cry 6
It honestly deserves a remaster, with the same graphics and combat system as the second game. I sadly find the 1st game unplayable due to how janky it is, but the story is great nonetheless
I 100% all the dead islands when 2 came out and I can say 1 and riptide were as good as remember. For the time they came out they were definitely on point 😮💨
you don't see a lot of genres go with a concept of the Autophage, like yeah they get close in the walking dead but they don't go with "next state of evolution" or "it's a time bomb in our DNA waiting for a mass extinction" i like it, even if it doesn't totally sit right in regards to the dead island story.... the crackpot humour and casualness is nice too, more realistic to the 2020s era
Thank you for making the continuation so quickly after 2 was released. Alot of smaller channels release a part one, but then abandon the channel before subsequent parts can be released. And also the tone, the script, the narration has improved since the last Dead island story video!
Ngl you have a very soothing voice. I’ve been listening to this at the end of my days to help me go to sleep, also I love the games so win win lol great work!
A Riptide-like entry would be cool to hold us over, show us what happened to the original survivors and how Sam became the only one to make it to LA. DLC for Patton could be awesome as well, he must have a hell of a story to tell
I dont think dead island 2 and 1 are connected, DI2 is dead island in name only and its really more of a soft reboot, kind of how the new saints row has johnny gat but it is not the same guy and universe.
Fun fact is that dead island was originally supposed to release in 2008 but released in 2011 for improvement. Also in the 2008 version the story wouldn’t be about the immune but a story about a man looking for his wife after a plane crashed
@@EvenBadWolvesGaming Haha for real, they were not the best, but thats one thing i kinda liked about Techland's worldbuilding. It was mashup of different cultures so it never felt like it was in some IRL place specifically.
imagine if instead of everyone dying when the clock hits zero that everyone became a Neuman. Now that, would be embarrassing. To think that the ascension of mankind was in fact, it's death. Just a random thought I had whilst a little tipsy
Different implementations of goofy. The goofy light theme while trying to survive vs Dead Island 2's more help the world while being goofy. Big whiff with the writing towards the end, but gameplay is great
I like both games even though I don’t got the first game but I did watch it from other TH-camrs playing it. In my opinion dead island 2 makes sense as well. You know why the outbreak began, yes it was Dr. Reed, but the true mastermind of the outbreak is Charon that guy who was in prison in dead island 1. Remember when the characters finally escaped, Logan stated he can’t wait to be in normal world not full of zombies and stuff and Charon says, “it won’t, trust me”! The reason why he is doing this is because he wants revenge whoever were mean to his dad and the death of his dad. My best guess since they need to do a last game to complete the series of dead island, the characters go after Charon the true main antagonist of the dead island series.
I liked playing dead island coop with randoms, one time a random dropped a bunch of cheated AK47s that had explosive rounds and we it would flip the car if you shot it out the window, we beat the game in like 3 hours just dicking around the whole time
you forgot to say Hell-A a bajillion times 😅 on a real note, great video! its certainly a brave choice to have the 2 zombie outbreaks be almost completely unrelated in terms of the virus used, and you went over the lore in a convincing way so it doesent sound like retconned weirdness 😎
For those saying Dead Island 2 is a departure from the original, keep in mind that Deep Silver and Techland split over creative differences on what they wanted the sequel to be. Techland went on to make Dying Light while Deep Silver went through a couple studios, causing Dead Island 2 to be in limbo until Dambusters picked it up.
I’m still playing the original dead island enjoy streaming it and chatting with people who still enjoy this game wish dead island 2 would of stuck more to the roots of the originals
I feel like dead island 3 will should lead out of LA for one all cities in California are in Quarantine and who knows if virus not spread to other states and cities causing massive outbreak.
I could see them doing a couple different areas in DI3 if the player is tracking down Tisha and she gets taken by the military to the CDC in Colorado and then moved again because they got overrun due to some scientist trying to keep a zombie specimen.
@DingaLingu why Florida keys? They would most likely take her to more of a there more people if was Florida like Miami or Broward county cities.where scientists will be at.
I feel like Dead Island 2 was a disappointment compared to it's earlier installments Here's my reasoning: (Big yapping session) - The story felt pretty bland imo, with a lot of character deaths that didn't mean anything. Normally, you should be sad about some characters dying, but I was actively hoping for some to die, that's how little I cared about them. In Dead Island (1) I actually was sad to see some characters die, but that wasn't the case at all for me when playing Dead Island 2 - The slayers didn't stand out too much for me, and all of them do the same thing. In Dead Island (1) you would constantly see the slayers talk to each other, and you'd see that all of them have different opinions about the stuff happening, with cutscenes to top it off, but in Dead Island 2, the slayers you didn't choose get killed offscreen, almost all the cutscenes are in first person (Which isn't a necessarily wrong thing, but I preferred them in 3rd person), and the slayer you do choose barely alters the story, with only the dialogue being changed. - Why is it called Dead Island 2 when it isn't happening on an island?!!??!?!?!?!?
Yeah the story of Dead Island 2 was not as good, though some story elements were fun, like Major Booker and the Bride. I was a little sad for Ronnie - guy just wanted to help. I was also annoyed that the other slayers were just dead if you didn't choose them. The story makes sense as an individual but they could have easily had the other slayers survive and stay at Emma's at least. And yeah, Dead Island should at the very least take place on an Island.
If i remember right Dead island was one of my First zombie games that got me hooked on the genre. I loved 1, riptide and 2 (despite how people saw dead island 2 compared to the rest). However the dead island definitive edition, it was good to see the game again, i hated the graphics, everything was washed out and weird looking at times :/
I won't lie. I never looked up to the Blue Crab Grill to see a survivor. I just thought they were screaming from one of the boarded up windows. Can't believe I didn't notice that.
Seven games?! I got tricked by the brilliant trailer for the first game, bought it, played it for like two hours with my friends before we all decided it was trash and went back to L4D and they ended up making seven of these things? Did...did they get better?
Yeah it doesn't really make much sense. Genes can change over time like what we are seeing with the Y chromosome having lost 900 genes and very slowly disappearing entirely but these changes are very slow, in that case being expected to take 11 million years. That kind of change is also a generational thing, rather than something that could just switch on for living people. Meaning if that was what was happening with the autophage the thing that would happen when populations started to hit 0 would be autophage babies or more likely foetuses that infect the mother, meaning the first natural autophage zombies would be pregnant women.
@@EvenBadWolvesGamingchromosomes are one thing. But the function of your DNA is another. Take crisper for example, we are uncovering a way to edit DNA and RNA but their function remains the same and including how the body repairs it's DNA. Sometimes the body has gone in and changed/"repaired" the edited DNA back to how it was even if it was damaged i.e almost as if somethings genetically are bound to happen.
I love dead island I remeber playing it 247 when I was 10 years old lmao one my favorite games the story seems a lot different in 2 I couldn’t get into that much
My gripe with dead island 1 and 2 is the lack of continuity and the ambiguity of what is happening making the narrative unreliable at best. Not to mention the first game were clear on the horror aspect and the honestly terrifying ambience while the second one is feels like it was directed by fucking James Gunn with joke cracking and an addiction to older pop culture reference. Not everything need to be like Marvel. Especially not today's Marvel. That being said, Dead Island 2 on its own can be enjoyable. I'd appreciate a third person perspective and if someone could give Amy her missing leg back that would be nice.
I didn’t like Escape the first time I played it but it kinda grew on me - the underwater labs were pretty cool (the final fight there was probably the tensest I felt through the whole franchise) and I liked the loop
I didn’t mind it - it wasn’t as good as DI1 or Riptide and I could have done without the autophage and numen bits of the story but I thought some of the environments were cool and Haus was good. Plus the special weapons in Sola were super fun. That being said I probably won’t go back and replay it with each of the other characters like I did the first couple games.
0:56 well they sure did speedrun humanity to that clock ticking to 0 Also Dead Island 2 sure is... A departure, from what happened in 1 and all of it's prequels/side stories Not sure how i felt about the idea of an elite group of selected people forming a dead cult over the zombie apocalypse with evolutionary shenaningans in the middle But the game was fun nonetheless, not fun that it ended on a cliffhanger tho
As a huge fan of the original games (played them with friends the whole time the second game was expected to be vaporware) we gosh darned better get a Dead Island 3
"They found the prisoner in a cell full of bunkbeds. Which I guess is this prisons definition of solitary." 🤣🤣🤣
I know I’m an idiot, but what on earth is this joke about?

Sorta the same thing with me. We do a yearly playthrough, only we were a bunch of drunk soldiers playing it in the barracks back in 2011.
So, from what I've gotten from this.
Dead Island 1 & Riptide is essentially Resident Evil
Escape from Dead Island is Groundhog Day
And Dead Island 2 is basically [PROTOTYPE] combined with Evangelion Neon Genesis, but with zombies and A.I
Pretty much, though I'd say Escape from Dead Island was more like Triangle.
And all of them have a Ubisoft Far Cry look and feel. I deadass thought Dead Island 1 was a Far Cry 2 reskin at first and Dead Island 2 based on Far Cry 6
What?
The plot of first Dead Island was very captivating, simpler. Although with several bugs, the game was (still is) fantastic
It honestly deserves a remaster, with the same graphics and combat system as the second game. I sadly find the 1st game unplayable due to how janky it is, but the story is great nonetheless

You’re welcome, I’m glad you like it
I've been playing Dead Island 2 recently, I did not notice there is like a chronological order on playing the base game and the DLC.

Is Sam b not the same one from the 1st game in the first game he is immune
Wait, if Xian knew about the virus early on (even before her story on Dead Island 1) why didn't she get an evacuation, or at least leave herself?

Absolutely
Well, you have to remember this game was developed years ago. Yes some game features and more got better

I mean, aren't continents are just really big islands?
Well maybe Australia, but the continents of North and South America are connected by land.
