Honestly, I never knew this game had backlash. I absolutely loved this game as a kid. I used to play it with my friend on the 360 all the time. We don't hang out much anymore, but I still cherish the memories on this game :)
@@tonydelia9998 yea, i think back then games weren’t as widely criticized as much as today too, it’s easy to look back at a game realize flaws but in the moment i think people were just enjoying a lot of the new games coming out at the time and enjoying them for what they were
I have one fond memory of this game, despite not really enjoying it. My friend and I used to play it on PS4 and when we were bored, we would load it up and try finishing the story as fast as we could. One day it went on sale on Steam and we made a joke about speedrunning it. Then we checked the leaderboards and found out that the 4-player co-op category had 0 completed runs. Because of that, my three friends and I are now world record holders, because there was no other competition. And even if someone happens to take it from us, I don't care, because I think "former world record holder" is just as funny as "world record holder." Is it an achievement worth bragging about? Not in the damn slightest. Will it forever remain in my Discord bio? Yes it will.
I was completely unaware of the backlash of this game when I was playing back when I was younger. I really enjoyed the game despite its flaws. I really miss games that were focused on co op PvE Nowadays co-op PvE is either neglected or just done so horribly also the cure wasn't a cure at all it was a modify version of the virus because evil shady people tasked the doctor to make that, the Doctor did plan on making a cure tho
The fastest way to level is actually doing the 3 nails quest in new game plus (in the church). the XP scales to your level so it ranges from 600xp to 5000xp per 3 nails you give and you can buy nails from the guy in the warehouse also in act 2
That intro about the game being criticized heavily at launch and is now viewed as one of the best feel so typical of the gaming community nowadays When the game is recent it's ass, but when it's older and the rose tinted glasses are on it's the fucking Mona Lisa Don't get me wrong I love all 3 Dead Island games, but it doesn't mean I can't point at the double standard many players do
I hope you get a lot more attention, you’re videos are made really well, and it really feels like a something a channel with millions of subscribers would make
Even though a lot of people didn't like this game, it's my favourite game of all time simply because of how many memories and friends I made on it when I was younger. Just exploring the island and finding something new was a magical experience and I won't ever forget it. Even though the story was kinda weird at times with weird pacing and shifts, I still go back and play through it every now and again for fun, similar to the semi sequel, Riptide. Great video
Out of every Platinum grind series youtuber you're definitely the most entertaining in my opinion, I make sure to catch up on every vid. Keep it up man. ❤
The only reason anyone would think the story of DI1 is ass was because they have no idea what it was about or wasn't paying any attention. It's actually a really good story once you understand it all and the real meaning behind the ending.
same with all multiplayed achievements, it was piss easy back in the day. so many people were playing this game when it dropped. the coop achievements came fairly quickly.
I played this game hundreds of hours on all characters and always seemed like Logan was the most op by far, in or out of fury you could just throw a couple knives and everything dies
Also, does anyone else remember the ax in that first room? But you couldn't pick it up, but it was with the dead family. But then it was taken out in the definitive collection that was released a few years later. Also, was that truck red when you could drive it in the 360 release?
This was my favourite game when i was younger, what made it go from a 9 to a 10 though was changing the combat options to analogue, being able to direct your swings is a gamechanger! You can direct where you want them to ragdoll. If dead island 2 had this option that game would also be top tier.
my first achievement in dead island is actually "how many days exactly" on my xbox. i DID not like the game originally.but fell in love with it with a second chance
As a casual gamer, i even got this plat, really not that hard only the level 50 grind, but at least i did not use An exploit. 😅 Also for the 5 legendary archievement you can reload a bunker that has a high orange crate Spawn rate . GG tho
I absolutely love this game i remember buying it when it first released and stayed up allllllll night to play it, such an amazing time i still go back from time to time to play it and honestly the jankiness is what i love about it.
I played this after several rounds for dying light ,a damn good single first-person zombie game is hard to find these years .BTW,u can also try the walking dead survival instinct ,it shared the same timeline with the dead island
@@Yoma97I wouldn’t say butt cheeks but it definitely isn’t the best. It’s super repetitive with a dumb A.I script for the walkers. If you like TWD then it’s nice to play for the story, but achievements would require many play throughs for a game that’s very uninteresting besides the first play through.
Just about to finish the plat for this. For someone else in the future: the collectibles do NOT have to be unique and the counter is shared across characters. You can pick up the same collectible on two different characters and both add +1 to your counter. If you make sure to do all of the side missions on your main character and pick up any collectibles you see, the rest of the collectibles can be gathered when you are playing on the other three characters. I didn’t need to pull up a collectible list or anything, it popped organically.
dang yoma you're growing super quick. your videos are so good w quality. love watching these videos while i do my work. keep it up. also you should do dying light
Hey just wanted to comment because always find self coming to these videos, really enjoy your videos, always chill and detailed commentary with nice edits, nostalgic games and love the achievement hunting format, perfect videos to chill to or watch food with, good vibes2u
omg no wayyy I used to main Sam B, and you just unlocked the memories of his dialogue lol I remember I used to think this game was so good when I was like 14, but at some point the copium faded. With this game and with Brink too, weird. Anyways thanks for the funnies my dude!
For the orange weapons you could have also done the boring method of waiting infront of a chest for like 8 hours to get a guaranteed one 😂 That's what I did, start up Dead Island before going to sleep then open the chest when I wake up, save then close the game and repeat.
I played through this game on the 360 and PC, only discovered that the originals are no longer available when I went to buy the definitive edition haha. This game was a blast for me, so was Riptide - the redux looks amazing.
Oh hey I played this game with my friends last year. I drove a truck off the stairs. Got another truck stuck in another stairs. I just heard a thud coming from my friends microphone.
Quick question Yoma, how do you get the Xbox achievement pop up when playing via steam? I need that dopamine hit 😂 Still binge watching your catalog of videos.
i liked this game better then dead island 2 because the secret/legendaries are actully fun to get. they where actual secrets like the skulls you have to find
Dead Island 1 and Riptide are dirt cheap and lots of fun. Plays great on my PS4 PRO and the solo duplication glitch is easy to make copies of crafted weapons and other items in both games. Gotta go drink some water now, my muscles are starting to cramp up.
Great video and nostalgic ass game. I dare you to try and platinum Enter the Gungeon, after you do COD or whatever you want. Bit of a change of pace, but a fantastic game nonetheless
I never actually played this game. On a scale of 1/10. What was your enjoyment rate??? Annnd what's your thoughts on trying to beat plants vs zombies lol
@@Yoma97i dont think deep silver has user friendly gameplay in mind when developing unfortunately the levelling issue bleeds into riptide too, even if you start with a level 60 character you probably wont hit level 70 by the time that gets finished
Now get ready for Dead Island Riptide. But on a serious note the first two Dead Island games are still some of my favorites for the wacky and outlandishly stupid gameplay.

I kinda knew of the backlash because it was the thing back then but I forgot how much they switched up on everybody since the trailer lol
i was legit thinking the same thing, my friends and I loved this game it was amazing 😂
That’s because the internet hadn’t corrupted you by that point
@@tonydelia9998 yea, i think back then games weren’t as widely criticized as much as today too, it’s easy to look back at a game realize flaws but in the moment i think people were just enjoying a lot of the new games coming out at the time and enjoying them for what they were
Because the final vanilla version is all the way better than the definitive edition. But the Riptide one is better in the definitive.
I have one fond memory of this game, despite not really enjoying it. My friend and I used to play it on PS4 and when we were bored, we would load it up and try finishing the story as fast as we could.

Thank you for sharing your story :D
@@Yoma97 easiest world record anyone has ever achieved
Is there footage of the run?
I was completely unaware of the backlash of this game when I was playing back when I was younger. I really enjoyed the game despite its flaws. I really miss games that were focused on co op PvE
Nowadays co-op PvE is either neglected or just done so horribly
also the cure wasn't a cure at all it was a modify version of the virus because evil shady people tasked the doctor to make that, the Doctor did plan on making a cure tho
That's exactly how I was! I was youngish when playing and didn't see all of but I saw somethings here and there.
I loved this game as a child, I didn’t even know it was so hated
The fastest way to level is actually doing the 3 nails quest in new game plus (in the church). the XP scales to your level so it ranges from 600xp to 5000xp per 3 nails you give and you can buy nails from the guy in the warehouse also in act 2
That Dead Island reveal trailer lives rent free in my head till this day.
It's still a banger trailer for sure
That Jazzy guy is a total tooltip... trust me ;) ly Yoma
Thanks again my brotha!! 😎👍
When I was younger I used to be scared of the butcher zombies

Fun fact for orange weapons, they are time based, you get one every 5 hours of playtime
Out of every Platinum grind series youtuber you're definitely the most entertaining in my opinion, I make sure to catch up on every vid. Keep it up man. ❤
I appreciate that more than you think
The only reason anyone would think the story of DI1 is ass was because they have no idea what it was about or wasn't paying any attention. It's actually a really good story once you understand it all and the real meaning behind the ending.
The fact that i JUST finished riptide, 35% through the first one and Im currently downloading dead island 2 goes to show how big of a fan i am
You can get infinite inventory. Basically, infinite money. You can duplicate your weapons. Then there's even a way to duplicate the brand champagne
I love this game, but I'll probably never complete it. Getting people together to do the coop achievements would be too much.
It seriously was a pain and honestly not worth it lol
Agreed ^
same with all multiplayed achievements, it was piss easy back in the day. so many people were playing this game when it dropped. the coop achievements came fairly quickly.
Bruh y’all suck at achievement hunting if you can’t tough it out through 5 easy co-op trophies, you just don’t have enough conviction 🤷🏻♂️

used to love this game as a kid so many memories. lotta respect to you for doing this games achievements
Yeah, I enjoyed this somewhat when i was younger but it wasn't anything more than just brain numbing zombie killing haha. And i appreciate it so much
"The only good part of this game the only good redeeming quality is that it is fun to play" LOL wtf
I remember seeing the trailer on SpikeTV while watching Bad Rescue lmao

That dead rising 2 elevator music is so nostalgic for me. You should definitely go for the dead rising 2 achievements!
There is so many glitches in dead island you can exploit. I love this game I have well over 1000 hours in it
I absolutely love this game i remember buying it when it first released and stayed up allllllll night to play it, such an amazing time i still go back from time to time to play it and honestly the jankiness is what i love about it.

Tell me about it. The only ones I need to get is the co-op ones. Then I'll have it platinum, but it's so hard to find groups of friends to play with.
Oh man, I had completely wiped this game from my memory. Thank you for bringing this wackiness back into my brain!
Fun game at points but the rest was a blur LMAO
I got the plat for this game also, not worth.. One of my childhood games, but not worth
Just about to finish the plat for this. For someone else in the future: the collectibles do NOT have to be unique and the counter is shared across characters. You can pick up the same collectible on two different characters and both add +1 to your counter.

Sly cooper music spotted. i have been summoned
I like the “Dawn of the first run” . Pretty sure that’s from @DarkViperAU
Lol no. It's from LoZ Majoras Mask 🤣
Man I just remember that everyone in my friend group loved the game
I love the dead island games, I hope you do riptide too
I think this is where my journey ends because I don't see the appeal of riptide for me personally but dead island 2 is an epic games exclusive too :(
@@Yoma97 noooooo riptide is soooo good
didn't expect to catch an early vid, always enjoyed dead island love ya youtuber man guy

For the orange weapons you could have also done the boring method of waiting infront of a chest for like 8 hours to get a guaranteed one 😂 That's what I did, start up Dead Island before going to sleep then open the chest when I wake up, save then close the game and repeat.
The only real memory i have of this game is if you drive into the ocean fast enough you can drive across it.
31:55 sly cooper 2 great game and great music. LETS DANCE!!!!
The last song I had for that got copyrighted somehow so I was like, let's bring back the classic baby
I played through this game on the 360 and PC, only discovered that the originals are no longer available when I went to buy the definitive edition haha. This game was a blast for me, so was Riptide - the redux looks amazing.
boys we must be getting closer to the dying light 1 platnum
Oh hey I played this game with my friends last year. I drove a truck off the stairs. Got another truck stuck in another stairs. I just heard a thud coming from my friends microphone.
yo ! maybe it's later in the video but i'd love a link to the website you have at 1:50 !! thks
I am pretty sure that's a steam guide.
I been waiting for this finally thank you
LET'S GOOOOO
Quick question Yoma, how do you get the Xbox achievement pop up when playing via steam? I need that dopamine hit 😂
Still binge watching your catalog of videos.
i remember this game fondly
IN RESORT
after that it becomes a chore to finish
I love this franchise but that trophy for online was a nightmare
120 comments damn it’s nice to see your channel grow and it’s nice to see you do another great game
I appreciate it :D
Hearing the sly cooper music makes me hope you Platinum those games as well :)
One day ;)
That first ram you run into is stonger then the ones you will run into later on in the city 8:40
The 360 days of hacked weapons ahh the memories 😂
The walls crumble as the ocean flairs
For anyone doing “Stick it to the enemy” in the future: switch to analog controls but use a gun. It still counts counts!
This is one of the games that made my childhood
Bro, that leave me alone at the start got me dead af
I'm testing new things here and there so i appreciate your feedback on that stuff
32:50 Proof that Mags is a much better gamer than Yoma 🤣 (PS. Good video as always Yomer ❤)
LMAO get outta here
Everyone talked badly about Dead Island while my 12 year old peanut brain was just like “Haha Zombie head go boom! :3”
Nice Video Yoma
I appreciate it 🙏
i liked this game better then dead island 2 because the secret/legendaries are actully fun to get. they where actual secrets like the skulls you have to find
As soon as I saw Svetty I got real thirsty for some champagne…
Please god never again
Yeaaah, we’re gonna party like it’s the fucking apocalypse.
How do you get the Xbox achievement noise and overlay to appear when you unlock steam achievements? Or is it an editing overlay for the video
“Where the hell did I put that?” If you know you know 😭
Dead Island 1 and Riptide are dirt cheap and lots of fun. Plays great on my PS4 PRO and the solo duplication glitch is easy to make copies of crafted weapons and other items in both games.
Gotta go drink some water now, my muscles are starting to cramp up.
is the xbox achievements overlay added in post or do you have something that makes them pop up each time you get a achievement in game? much love!
It's called Steam Achievement Notifier
@@moleslaw_ i appreciate it !!
Hell yeah good luck playing the dead island franchise
I don't know how far I'll go with this franchise but thank you!!
no idea there was backlash but god do I love this game I played it again about a month before 2 came out and it was so fun
The song at 34:00 seems very familiar to me, where is it from again? :/
Nobody noticed he got the math wrong for the champagne leveling up method 😂
Shhhhhh
How did you make your achievements look like this?
HELL YEAH NEW VIDEO LETS GO BABY
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR MY DUDE
this one is definitely one of the zombie games of all time
Definitely one of them
Somehow i got the there and back achivments the second i woke up in the lifeguard hut. Lol
There and back again was such a pain and levelling up was best done in the arenas Imo
You should definitely do the Farcry Series
Just done plat now. From lvl 1 to 50 u need 3004 bottles not 33000.
That DarkViperAU transition
Idk who that is but that's the LoZ Majoras mask transition LMAOOO
@@Yoma97 Fair enough lol
I’m still stuck on the location trophy on my ps4 save I’ve pretty much ran around all spots in the game and it still refuses to unlock
Great video and nostalgic ass game. I dare you to try and platinum Enter the Gungeon, after you do COD or whatever you want. Bit of a change of pace, but a fantastic game nonetheless
This game is good. I thought Dead Island 2 was going to suck but its really awesome. Btw great video
Are the xbox style achievments that you have on screen when you earn a steam achievement just something you edit In when making the video?
Its a program
@@FleXi2108 What program?
@@ASeductiveCow Steam Achievement Notifier. I love it
I love the dead rising music in the vids
Are those custom xbox 360 notifications? Either way, they bring me back to the good old days :)
Yes, theres a program for that
Ah yes greatest intro ever
I never actually played this game. On a scale of 1/10. What was your enjoyment rate??? Annnd what's your thoughts on trying to beat plants vs zombies lol
So like, enjoyment was like a 7.5! Like casually killing zombies is really fun but like anything past that it's just Eh
@@Yoma97 7.5 nice and I get your point. Cause that's most of the games people suggest are zombies or shooter. Thx for responding
you can level up in this game pretty fast just doing the very hard difficulty arena solo, little less annoying than champagne
Man, the leveling in this game just sucked so much and why 😭
@@Yoma97i dont think deep silver has user friendly gameplay in mind when developing
unfortunately the levelling issue bleeds into riptide too, even if you start with a level 60 character you probably wont hit level 70 by the time that gets finished
