I wish it was suboptimal play, Mike's basically griefing himself and i wouldn't have it any other way tbh, it's way too much fun seeing Andy and Jane despair while he spams drop kick in a 20+ zombie horde.
Literally 2 minutes in and I'm already laughing because Mike just yeeted himself to his death to demonstrate his dropkick. I love the chaos that is the OX family
For the machete question, I remember when my history teacher covered the Rwandan genocide in high school, he was talking about how bad machetes were at keeping an edge, which just made it all the worse since it would get dull so quickly but still be used for executions...
I sometimes seek confirmation of growing up in the same era as OxBox (the nostalgia vibes are the best) and then Mike says the phrase "a zombie dosshouse" and I realise our parents are definitely from the same generation 😂
I absolutely cannot wait for the dropkickapalooza that will be you lot playing this together. It was the best bit of the first game and I'm so glad it came back.
I thought of a list idea, I don't know if it's a great idea, but; 7 moves we spammed cause they were too fun not to Like the best one I can think of is in jak 2, the jumpy spinny shooty move with the yellow blaster. Pure dopamine. New Vegas, two step goodbye Five other examples. I don't know.
Loving this absolutely manic and crazy gameplay from Mike at his finest. Can't wait to give this game a go myself. Thank you for this Andy, Jane and Mike, your the best.
In the first game I accidentally started the dlc (on a harder difficulty) after I had all of my equipment taken during another mission. I dropkicked wave after wave until I got some replacement weapons.
Andy: It's like if there were 3 Mandalorians left and two of them decided to have a fight to the death or something Andy, how else do you think there are so little Mandalorians now to begin with? lol I mean sure, the empire helped, but the Mandalorians already did most of the work of killing each other off XD
@@shotgunshells2 Also, there's not really that many, but in all reality it's because of the empire, not the mandalorians. The mandalorians ruined their planet with their wars, but there was still plenty of them and they recovered.
To andy: animal blood is great at rusting steel, so cutting things with blood is a great way to loose the edge of a machete or loose the machete completly.
machete durability: a store bought machete I had broke in the first week, while one I received when I moved to Venezuela in 200- something is still perfectly usable today.... So depends on the brand I guess?
So, in the first game the crafting recipe for a healing item was Gauze and Alchohol which makes some sort of sense. But in this game you just take honey and flowers and mash them together and it...magically turns into a healing bandage? I feel like Techland neglected a lot of the consistency of the internal logic in favor of smoothing out the rough edges of the gameplay. Another example, in the first game you needed Antizen to suppress the progression of the virus. While this had no practical effect on the game it DID work pretty well within the Narrative. In THIS game the GRE is basically defunct along with most of the government so its fair to say Antizen production is unfeasible so to get around that little plot issue they changed it so sunlight (uv light specifically) suppresses the virus which...okay that doesnt really make sense. It feels like they changed the lore to accommodate their new night time mechanic and left kind of a plot hole in the process.
A standard store bought machete would not stand up for long against a human body. THey are designed for the most part to cut through thin and or dry vines, branches, and bushes. The big failure point though is the handle. A real sword has a hilt that is much more well constructed.
@@gsesquire3441 In my experience machetes tend to have really cheaply made handles, with at best, two plastic rivets holding it together. Meanwhile a proper sword not only has a full tang, but the actual grip is often glued together, and the pommel (especially if it's peened) helps a tremendous amount to keep everything tight and together.
@@gsesquire3441 True, but for finding one on the street you are far more likely to get one that is from Home Depot or Lowes or Harbor Freight than something actually resembling quality.
I've got to wait 12 more hours to play 😭😭 thank you for helping me get thru this stupid waiting period! For those who paid for the pre-order download version you can download the game now so that it's playable at the time of release!!
Per machetes: They're usually shit. They break a LOT. They're made to cut very thin grass and stalk-type plants. Now, if you swap it out with a kukri hatchet, you can use that a TON(A lot of them are made from old leaf springs these days, super hefty construction). Machete blades will break from cutting too much foliage. Kukris will happily chop people-bits off and can be ground on a rotary to sharpen them.
Based on the criteria "is a video game," I assume Dying Light 2's developer and/or publisher is owned by Microsoft. Based on the circumstance "is on PlayStation and Switch," I assume it's a recent acquisition and /future/ games will be exclusive to Microsoft. But if it's owned by Microsoft (and - see ironclad logic above), it's on Game Pass from the moment it's released, right? I've been living without Game Pass or Live Gold for like two weeks now, but I'm going to re-subscribe to Ultimate solely based on my /unshakable/ faith that Dying Light 2 will be available to me at no (additional) cost. "Games are owned by Microsoft" is based on outside experience, but "it's on Xbox" and "it's out" are facts I got solely from this VOD - based on the /ironclad/ "but for" test of causation, if I can't play Dying Light 2 for free (excluding Game Pass subscription) tonight, Oxbox is 100% liable for my $40 expense for 3 months of Ultimate, right? I mean, "if I can't play it for free" is a laughable hypothetical based on the above, but I'm just saying.
I love when Andy, Mike, and Jane do gameplays together. It's so chaotic!
That's why I miss the GTA V online streams they did. I miss this kind of chaos
I would go nuts if I were Mike. They always say he's doing everything wrong, when really he's just going a bit Mike.
Mike: Hey, check out this cool new thing I learned how to do! _[leaps to his death]_
"You saw it briefly at the end there, before I died."
Reminds me of bleeding edge gameplay when he similarly kills himself before a round 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Mad Mike: Dropkick Road
@@bustinarant not gonna lie, I would watch a movie with any of the Oxboxtra crew as leads
“Could be worse, I could’ve bought an NFT” hahahaha hell yes Mike
38:42 for the impatient, or those who missed it.
Drop kicking the undead into hives is how you get...
Zombees
You fiend
Zom-ono-bees XD
Ellen would be so proud
Boo! Booooooo!
@@hedgers2005 .I regret nothing
Love it when the gang genuinely enjoys the game they are playing
my favorite genre of let's plays is Andy and Jane watching Mike play in the most chaotic and suboptimal way possible while trying not to despair
I wish it was suboptimal play, Mike's basically griefing himself and i wouldn't have it any other way tbh, it's way too much fun seeing Andy and Jane despair while he spams drop kick in a 20+ zombie horde.
Mike’s glee at the floating zombies is strangely precious.
Oh wow, did we all just get transported back to the golden halcyon days of OXbox? Feels good, man.
Love any playthrough that is Andy and Jane trying to nudge Mike in certain directions while he responds by dropkicking everything in sight.
Literally 2 minutes in and I'm already laughing because Mike just yeeted himself to his death to demonstrate his dropkick. I love the chaos that is the OX family
Can't wait for the coop let's play. The original dying light videos were hysterical.
Not sure if Mike is leaning more into the "drop" or "kick" part of dropkicks in this video
I love watching internet Mum and Dads playing games together. Especially when Mike is at the controls. Chaos Dad cannot be controlled.
Outside Xbox Dying Light brings me back...
The golden age, along with Shenmue 2
This brings me back of when Andy got that legendary item where he spent so many hours kicking a cry specific box
For the machete question, I remember when my history teacher covered the Rwandan genocide in high school, he was talking about how bad machetes were at keeping an edge, which just made it all the worse since it would get dull so quickly but still be used for executions...
Just call him Aiden "Dropkick" Murphy.
2:02 With emphasis on the DROP part...
Intro absolutely hooked me
Edit: Now picturing Okada in full entrance attire drop kicking off a building.
Okay but... serious question, I haven't paid attention to NJPW in awhile... does he not use the Rainmaker anymore?
@@mistformsquirrel tbh I haven’t either. I saw something about a cobra clutch.
I sometimes seek confirmation of growing up in the same era as OxBox (the nostalgia vibes are the best) and then Mike says the phrase "a zombie dosshouse" and I realise our parents are definitely from the same generation 😂
what a lovely treat! you guys play so well together and off of eachother.. good ol' xbox joy..
Love the joy in Mike’s voice when the hazmat zombies are flying around and then pop.
I absolutely cannot wait for the dropkickapalooza that will be you lot playing this together. It was the best bit of the first game and I'm so glad it came back.
I think I'd feel a little different about my pancakes knowing I had to kill five people to get them.
Classic Mike: ending things (including this video) with a BOOM. Awesome
Oh god. Cannot wait for the identical triplets to be back.
I thought of a list idea, I don't know if it's a great idea, but; 7 moves we spammed cause they were too fun not to
Like the best one I can think of is in jak 2, the jumpy spinny shooty move with the yellow blaster. Pure dopamine.
New Vegas, two step goodbye
Five other examples. I don't know.
I'd love this
Three words: Fus Ro Dah
It looks really cool! I was on the fence about this game, but convinced now. Takes me back to the old Dying light Co-op videos y'all did :D
32:51 Oh they are Andy. In certain places where abortion is illegal.
"Easy for you to say" was such a low-key burn... I lol'd
Loving this absolutely manic and crazy gameplay from Mike at his finest. Can't wait to give this game a go myself. Thank you for this Andy, Jane and Mike, your the best.
This is the exact amount of chaos I was hoping for, and I love it.
In the first game I accidentally started the dlc (on a harder difficulty) after I had all of my equipment taken during another mission. I dropkicked wave after wave until I got some replacement weapons.
I like to imagine mike’s Aiden was a professional football player pre apocalypse so all he knows is kick
Can't throw, but can kick a man 300 yards.
Drop kicking in the DL series is easily one of its biggest plus points.
That was the mikest ending that ever miked.
Spends whole time trying to get wires to make a hammer, buys a machete in the end lol
Mike's character looks like one of future Biff's cronies from Back to the Future II
so Dropkick Rampage will definitely be an Xmas Challenge right?? 😅😅
Secret sponsors of Dying Light 2: PG Tipps, Twining, and Lipton, makers of fine chamomile and honey teas.
"Survivor sense"? You mean Hitman-vision that Mike obviously doesn't need?
I would love to watch Andy's 1 hour beef with the Mandalorian. And what do the other oxboxtras think of it including James and Jon??
Kazuchika Okada....Randy Orton....Hardcore Holly....Mike Channell. Some of the greatest dropkicks known to man.
Ah I’m so happy. Your dying light videos have always been my favourite and the playlist I watch when I’m having a bad day
I'd LOVE to see Mike play Kippers in Skyrim- I think he could outdo Luke and Ellen's mad antics- so long as he avoids ice trolls.
Andy: It's like if there were 3 Mandalorians left and two of them decided to have a fight to the death or something
Andy, how else do you think there are so little Mandalorians now to begin with? lol
I mean sure, the empire helped, but the Mandalorians already did most of the work of killing each other off XD
There are plenty of other mandalorians, they're just not insane theocrats like the Death Watch. Like Bo Katan and her crew.
@@shotgunshells2 Tell that to Andy lol
@@shotgunshells2 Also, there's not really that many, but in all reality it's because of the empire, not the mandalorians. The mandalorians ruined their planet with their wars, but there was still plenty of them and they recovered.
bolts, bolts and beyond (more bolts)
how many bodies does it take before the machete becomes unusable? Ferb i know what we're doing today
To andy: animal blood is great at rusting steel, so cutting things with blood is a great way to loose the edge of a machete or loose the machete completly.
Also, bone is a REALLY bad thing to use a blade like a machete on. Huge risk of chipping the edge off it.
Man .. I missed these recorded let's plays and the guys' banter .. much more preferred to lonely livestreams.
Hearing what they're saying about Mike's playing, I would love to see a 3 ways to play with this.
machete durability: a store bought machete I had broke in the first week, while one I received when I moved to Venezuela in 200- something is still perfectly usable today.... So depends on the brand I guess?
Egbert would be so proud of you, Mike! Paladin dropkick for the win!
Dropkick right into a zombie's lap. A human MRE
Mike “be excellent to each other” Channel😂
Need more of this!
Could someone explain the shoving at 42:08?
how does one do it? or is it automatic?
The tank is an Israeli made afv called a merkava, I think.
Love their dying light videos and I just know the dying light 2 videos will be just as good if not better
Quick question do you have to unlock the dropkick as a skill or?
Loved this soo much
YAAAAS! Dropkicks! This . . . is . . . SPARTA, Zombie! SPARTA!!!!! So here for Dying Light dropkicks!
Alternate title of stream: Dying Light 2: Hunt for Wires (Electric Dropkick Edition)
I appreciate Mike's Jackass approach to playing Dying Light 2
I was waiting for this. The first Dying Light videos are a classic

But that's the POINT. DinnLearning that 'The Way' may not be 'His Way'
the true mandos are zealots
Shout out to the Okada reference
The only problem with the dropkick is that it is objectively the most fun attack in the game. I never want to use anything else.
The real zombies were the friends we made along the way.
A standard store bought machete would not stand up for long against a human body. THey are designed for the most part to cut through thin and or dry vines, branches, and bushes. The big failure point though is the handle. A real sword has a hilt that is much more well constructed.
dont think the one you bought at hot topic constitutes a "real" sword my dude
Man's buying swords from Walmart to get that sophisticated feel
@@gsesquire3441 In my experience machetes tend to have really cheaply made handles, with at best, two plastic rivets holding it together.

I would have bought this... if I didn't hate paper level durability weapon games :{
Still disappointed this game wasn't in your guy's most anticipated list, but I'm happy you're all playing it :).
this video is sponsored by big camomile! :D
Shame it’s not a co op video like the previous ones.
if you took out all the drop kicking moments would this even be a 5 minute video, looks interesting and look forward to see them play in co-op
I am soo excited for this
Dying Light has a Bolt based Crafting System, Ratchet and Clank has a Bolt Based economy. . . Half Life 3 CONFIRMED.
U sound like stampy
Beautiful game
That forgot about the very successful boltland
I got this game for free with my Asus router. I'm excited 😆
PARKOUR
I liked Andy's "jokerised" comment even if the others completely ignored it.
Tell Luke I think his music is neat :)
Hello everyone!
Sup, how are you
Okada!!!!
Heal, dude, sheesh.
Anyone else have Dropkick Murpheys playing in their head? Just me?
Why wasn't ziplining down and dropkicking a zombie not the first option?
is there any update on the next DnD night
People who think the Brotherhood of Steel is fascist, don't really know what a fascist is.

How come the graphics look so shit?
Oh because if you want to play it at 60fps it DOES look shit...just saved me £50 👍
I don't know if it just looks sluggish or what but I'm not wasting my money on this shit
Luckily, and you may not have known this but, no-one is asking you to.
