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.
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.
@@darkforgiven360I see what you mean . However it took them much less time to polish the first game than the second , the first game was released in 2015, by the time the dlc -The Following was released in 2016, the game was already cleared out most of the glitches and being praised by everyone on the internet ,the sequel was released 2 years ago , one year later (last year) it was still a very mediocre game with glitches and many undercooked game designs that were inferior to its predecessor by the time. It is ,right now , a pretty decent game.
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
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!
I remember my first invasion with the hypermode event being active. The amount of distance two people could leapfrog the hunter was insane. Wish i could go back :(
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
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...
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!"
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
@@unknown_4176 By better do you mean the overturned air control, the unnecessary gravity reduction on certain moves, or the flow-breakingly slow animations?
@@zerophoenix8312 you must have not played recently. Parkour got an update MONTHS ago. It's amazing now, farr better than even DL1s parkour which is alot more grounded, but was good for it's time. Animations have been fixed, the flow is better and gravity actually functions properly so you can build up crazy momentum.
@@oroboros88 Actually no, I was literally talking about the parkour update. The physical mode somehow has more air control than the assisted mode to the point you can jump first and then move freely in the air. The floaty gravity reduction on certain jumps and the dropkick is something I can fix within minutes yet they haven't done anything about it. And there are just too many moves with long animations to break your flow, like ledge grabbing, double jump, mid-height landing, etc.
going from watching those divisions weekly vendor resets to scathing criticisms of the games that defined my early teenage years..... well played Marco
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.
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
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 :)
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.
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 :)
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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
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.
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!
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.
10:39 umm I think rais took the antizin from you when his guys knocked you out and the antizin shot he gave you is the one you picked up. Soo yea it did play a part in the story
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.
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.
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 dont know why so many people say Dying Light 1s story was bad or confusing. It really wasn't, it was easy to folloe and a simple, but with very memorable and witty characters. The start of it is where it is best, where the tower is desperate for supplies and is willing to do anything. The last 1/4 if the story is more of an action movie, but it still is fun and makes sense. The Followings story was also VERY good, it was well put together and a nice wrap up to the first game.
10:53 maybe in "the pit" mission, since crane got all of his stuff taken away, maybe rais got that antizin and used that same antizin as the one in the museum
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 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.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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!!
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.
To me dl1 feels like a game, but dl2 feels like a card game. I use card "air kick" on [literally any enemy] I receive 'curse of player collision box stuck in enemy' It just doesn't play like a game fully, you can't even block\parry midair in dl2 as well as use spacebar to evade a pouncing volatile or viral let alone use the UV light to interrupt the pounce like in BTZ, and that goes for both games, the UV light needs to be useful. And it'll literally have 0 use for me unless they add that in. Edit: Btw the flashlight in dl1 lights around the area in your peripheral vision which the second game doesn't do creating an awkward flashlight because it makes you too tunnel visioned.(this is from memory plus not through whole vid yet.) Edit 2: little before\at 22:15 dl1 makes you feel the world and progression where as with dl2 it outright tells you it, which is not the right thing to do to build immersion as well as making the experience more personal to the player, increasing the overall enjoyment of the experience as well as the avg player count\playtime ofc.
Dying Light 1 was soooo much fricking fun, played once halfway alone and one complete playtrough + comunnity maps along with a friend, not the best game but definately one of the most fun experiences I ever had
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 :,)
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.
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.
Hey I love this video. Dying Light 1 is my all time favorite game. The story is my only gripe with the game. It's not nearly as bad as people say, just cliché. I don't think it's a bad thing, but I know some people do. (Also the antizin you save early on isn't used because it gets taken by Rais's men when you fight the demolisher. I do wish it was used as a proper story beat, but that's why you can't use it when you really need it much later in the story) Dying Light 2, however, is a completely different story. The story is pretty bad, and feels super rushed in the last 2 hours of gameplay. Combat feels really poor with enemies being able to block every attack, even when stunned. And the side quests are pretty bland.
I thoroughly enjoy playing both Dying Light games, as they both offer a great deal of replayability. I'm glad I received the notification for this video, I used to always get your Division content notifications.
It's a shame that your Starfield video did not do better, I really liked it. The framing device around the gameplay shown, "Todd" speaking, the whole visuals, it was great. That doesn't mean that this here was bad, but the Starfield video was just better. Also I found it odd that you did not mention the omission of guns in the second Dying Light.
I definitely agree that the starfield video was better, but that was also four months of work compared to three weeks (for this video). Four months for a single video is just not doable for me right now so I'll have to make due with lesser editing. I never thought the gunplay in the first game was the best part and I didn't miss them that much in the second game.
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!
Man I disagreed with so many of your points about the first game, but I really appreciate the long form coverage of the series. Thank you for the video.
Man, speaking of dead island when he mentioned it dead island riptide had them zombies where their arms were shaved to a point I wonder why no one has ever bought that bag. That is an amazing zombie that is terrifying to a player especially because they’re like the runners.
Another marko movie, where’s the popcorn? I enjoyed the first game especially in Co-op but like you said a higher level player can give you weapons to make things easier. I just couldn’t get into dl2 barely played it
I’m watching this right after the new ‘Dying Light: The Beast’ trailer came out, it seems techland learned their lesson, bringing crane back as well as gameplay that seemed VERY reminiscent of the following, it only symbolizes good things for me.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Dying Light One will forever still be my favorite Zombie and Parkour game
Been watching since The Division 1 days, gotta say these styles of videos are the perfect evolution of your content over the years.
In the first game I always found it really annoying that I couldn’t hide the stupid bounty text from the screen
you could cancel the bounty and pick up later
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.

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.
10:39 umm I think rais took the antizin from you when his guys knocked you out and the antizin shot he gave you is the one you picked up. Soo yea it did play a part in the story

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.
Absolutely love your content right now brother, keep up the good work 👊
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.
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.
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.
I dont know why so many people say Dying Light 1s story was bad or confusing. It really wasn't, it was easy to folloe and a simple, but with very memorable and witty characters. The start of it is where it is best, where the tower is desperate for supplies and is willing to do anything. The last 1/4 if the story is more of an action movie, but it still is fun and makes sense.
The Followings story was also VERY good, it was well put together and a nice wrap up to the first game.
More Marco content is always good for me, Highly editted or not.
Its mostly full attention from me both ways.
Big love.
10:53 maybe in "the pit" mission, since crane got all of his stuff taken away, maybe rais got that antizin and used that same antizin as the one in the museum
That's an incredible theory
Amazing video, also you were completely right! It was on my second monitor while I work but great content!
I subscribed for the title and video length alone 😂
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.
i watched the video with the visuals but on 2 different times still enjoyed the visuals please continue
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
Now that intro is what I would call breaking it down, MarcoStyle.
I will not apologize
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.
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
26:01 and annoyingly you can’t sort out the actual useful consumable stuff from the giant list of weapons!
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.
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.
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.
it's crazy how good 1 still looks
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!!
9:45 "You fetch him some medicine" Proceeds to pick up nails.
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.
To me dl1 feels like a game, but dl2 feels like a card game.
I use card "air kick" on [literally any enemy] I receive 'curse of player collision box stuck in enemy'
It just doesn't play like a game fully, you can't even block\parry midair in dl2 as well as use spacebar to evade a pouncing volatile or viral let alone use the UV light to interrupt the pounce like in BTZ, and that goes for both games, the UV light needs to be useful. And it'll literally have 0 use for me unless they add that in.
Edit: Btw the flashlight in dl1 lights around the area in your peripheral vision which the second game doesn't do creating an awkward flashlight because it makes you too tunnel visioned.(this is from memory plus not through whole vid yet.)
Edit 2: little before\at 22:15 dl1 makes you feel the world and progression where as with dl2 it outright tells you it, which is not the right thing to do to build immersion as well as making the experience more personal to the player, increasing the overall enjoyment of the experience as well as the avg player count\playtime ofc.
Dying Light 1 was soooo much fricking fun, played once halfway alone and one complete playtrough + comunnity maps along with a friend, not the best game but definately one of the most fun experiences I ever had
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 :,)
Great games. Playing DL 2 and I'm having load of fun.
i just bought both dying lights week before this video
LET'S GO PEAK IS BACK
The King returns!
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.
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.
I was just thinking the other day that I should play through Dying Light again. It was such a cool game
Hey I love this video. Dying Light 1 is my all time favorite game. The story is my only gripe with the game. It's not nearly as bad as people say, just cliché. I don't think it's a bad thing, but I know some people do.
(Also the antizin you save early on isn't used because it gets taken by Rais's men when you fight the demolisher. I do wish it was used as a proper story beat, but that's why you can't use it when you really need it much later in the story)
Dying Light 2, however, is a completely different story. The story is pretty bad, and feels super rushed in the last 2 hours of gameplay. Combat feels really poor with enemies being able to block every attack, even when stunned. And the side quests are pretty bland.
These videos have criminally low views. This is great quality content.
I thoroughly enjoy playing both Dying Light games, as they both offer a great deal of replayability. I'm glad I received the notification for this video, I used to always get your Division content notifications.
Ow shit dude, I've been waiting for this 🤘🤘
It's a shame that your Starfield video did not do better, I really liked it.
The framing device around the gameplay shown, "Todd" speaking, the whole visuals, it was great.
That doesn't mean that this here was bad, but the Starfield video was just better.
Also I found it odd that you did not mention the omission of guns in the second Dying Light.
I definitely agree that the starfield video was better, but that was also four months of work compared to three weeks (for this video).
Four months for a single video is just not doable for me right now so I'll have to make due with lesser editing.
I never thought the gunplay in the first game was the best part and I didn't miss them that much in the second game.
I completely forgot about the Zee you later part. Thanks for reminding me Marco
17:35 In Harran, during day you are hunter, but when the sun goes down you become prey
1:39:35 can enemies climbing stuff not just be insta-killed in this one?
New Marco vid on the hub!! RAAAAHHH
Please do a video on what you think about the bounty system and the new guns missions!!
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!
DL 1 is one of my top 3 games ever
2 is really hurt by not having a less vertical map that allows for more free flow parkour
Man I disagreed with so many of your points about the first game, but I really appreciate the long form coverage of the series. Thank you for the video.
Anything in particular that stood out? I'm honestly curious.
"Hold SPACE to skip" is this game's best storytelling feature.
Man, speaking of dead island when he mentioned it dead island riptide had them zombies where their arms were shaved to a point I wonder why no one has ever bought that bag. That is an amazing zombie that is terrifying to a player especially because they’re like the runners.
1:03:12 did they give the MC the same voice actor!?
Another marko movie, where’s the popcorn? I enjoyed the first game especially in Co-op but like you said a higher level player can give you weapons to make things easier. I just couldn’t get into dl2 barely played it
19:03 unless you leave invasions on
I’m watching this right after the new ‘Dying Light: The Beast’ trailer came out, it seems techland learned their lesson, bringing crane back as well as gameplay that seemed VERY reminiscent of the following, it only symbolizes good things for me.
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 subbed so I Know when the next video dropped I watched this video in the background and enjoyed thank you the the fire vide
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.
