Let me know what you'd like to see covered next!
Can you guys cover the division?
I don’t know if you did this but can you do bioshock or outlast
Vanguard's zombie story if there is one I don't play that game .
how about a little street fighter
Just cause
The other GRE agent that was in Harran before Crane was Amir. The same Amir at the start of the game, who gave his life saving Crane and Jade from the infected.
@@javierv.g.5231 What's with the cap?
🧢
@@elitegamer9310 they are saying that it is untrue what you are saying.
@@jessiemcintosh2887 It was explained in the Camden mission. Crane gave Camden a photo of Amir from Jade, and Camden said that was the GRE agent.
@@elitegamer9310 ya it literally told to you by the good doctor and why Amir went out of his way to save you.
The banshee is in the Dying Light 2 trailer and I love it. You can even see the necklace when she is kicked by the runner
And that so called necklace might be the cure to save mankind!
Read the comics and you will see for yourself!
Imagine u can unlock an ending by getting that necklace by killing the banshee and it could lead to the cure ending
@@eliseonavarro9168 yea omg that would actually be insane
We had the same thought hahaha I was about to write the same but you did it for me.
I was actually thinking about that.
Haha what a coincidence 😂
But yea that could actually be true.
But then we need scientists like in dying light 1 were u had the place in old Town
Or was it a doctor I dont know but there was a laboratory
So we actually need a laboratory and some scientists.
If there are one.
Wich I hope hahaha or else it wouldn't happen.
But I hope one of the ending is the banshee one with the cure ending!
@@TuzBay I mean dying light the following dlc gave u another ending which is just settling the nuke and this time they add an ending called the cure ending but you actually start a storyline
That’s what I’m thinking
Rahim's loss felt personal, almost like losing a brother.
The main character has a similar reaction as me, rahim was a foolish young man that wouldn’t listen. If he’d have listened he wouldn’t have died.
@@spiritualliving8318, sadly he was still just a kid I believe, he was stubborn, and it cost him is life, wish we could’ve changed things cause I did like that character quite a bit.
you knew him for like 3 days though. and even then you only see him like 3 or 4 times before he dies
@@tosutaa but that’s enough to establish him as the powerful character he is, isn’t that even a greater feat?
“Harran-19”
Lol bit on the nose
I played dying light and the following a few years after it came out and I was sooo impressed by it . It's definitely in my top 3 games of all time.
👍
I love dying light but really loathed the following the driving was really annoying.
@@wilfredwayne7139 Same! Following's story stucked and the lack of parkour was a big blunder.
@@wilfredwayne7139 bruh it was the best part, especially in coop!
@@Alena-cz7hj personal preference I'm not fond of wide open spaces with next to nothing in it. Can't wait for dying light 2 though.
I'm glad that you stick to series that you have a lot of passion for! That passion always shines through in the quality of your research and presentation. I'm DYING (haha like the name of the game) to see what you cover next!
ha ha thanks brother. What can I say? This game just touched me on a level I can't explain. And I would never make LIGHT of that lol
Oh man... You guys, very cute.
I'm more excited for the DL2 amigo
@@SuggestiveGaming I love Dying Light too, the whole game play and story are so well developed just wish Jade didnt die as quick as she did (i might think she died quickly because I complete missions fast at this point) but i know it was a ploy to continue Dying Light 2 without any connection to Crane (if the ending in the Following is accurate)
You're DYING for him to shine LIGHT on his next passion project you'd say?
Excelent recap! The only thing i see that you missed is when Crane gives Camden the tissue samples he also shows the doctor a picture of Amir, the man who saved Cranes life with Jade after the ambush at the beginning.The doctor confirms Amir was the other GRE agent sent into Harran. This explains why he was so close by when Crane landed since he was also working for the GRE he would've known when and where Crane was going to land and was waiting to help him to a safe place and fill him in on whats happening. This also explains why Amir would risk his own life to help Crane escape with Jade because he knew Crane was a GRE operative meaning he not only had military training but would be the only lifeline to the outside world and would be able to help more than others in the city.
I honestly like more the ""Good night and good luck" over the "Stay Human" thing better, but I'm so hyped for DL2! I have even more faith on Techland than I had for CDPR right after TW3. DL1 was among the best games I've ever played and I'm sure DL2 will be even better!
As of now, I feel like the first game is better
@@Wyvern_Son_Of_Wyvern I’m just starting the second one and I really hope it’s better
@@dim9907 ive played it for 50 hours now and its better than the first one
@Drunk Roku I didn’t say that at all. I’m only at the beginning but so far so good
It's because the first game is more focused on night survival, the second game is more focused on who you ally with and the choices you make determining how the game turns out. Stay human as in, keep your ethics and morals.
When I first got this game, I didn't expect much to be completely honest. Neat opening, felt like I heard this story before but combat and traversal was fun
5 years and almost 400 hours of gameplay later, it's still bizarre to me how much I love this series. Sure the story was short as hell but it was clear it had potential. And with the sequel rapidly coming up, I am nervous as hell, excited as hell, it's impossible for me to not get hyped
Describes my experience 100% as well. What a fantastic series
400 hours?!??
@@martini668 the game's a LOT of fun, you can play it for hours without ever feeling bored, the story holds up so that it doesn't feel forced or repetitive, the gameplay is diverse much that I myself am giddy to get every skill points in the game
@@Der8814 just bought it on sale for ps4 😀
New to DL here. I'm watching this recap to play the second one because it looks super fun.
I like how the mother and Kyle are both not bad but have different ideas of saving mankind
Years back when I finished DL and the Following. I don't think I fully grasped the entire story. So catching up on this was definitely a huge help. Its only grown my hype for DL2 next week
This video is absolutely fantastic! The writing, the b-roll, and the explanation of everything overall were absolutely perfect. The best breakdown video out there about Dying Light.
What is b roll
@@martini668 B-roll is secondary footage. So, the cutscenes in this case are the A-roll, and the gameplay is B-roll. He didn't have to show any gameplay, but he did to bolster the experience.
@@kvnen thank you
"While Kaan dies in the fall, Crane survives without a scratch" my mannn xD
xD
of course crane's fine, he landed on a car
@@mariomurcia7509 Because of course you can survive a 500m fall with a car
@@themanman7642 yeah, obviously
This game series so far has been holding up well for me and this video summarized things neatly. But I feel like some info that might be relevant was missed or skipped for a quicker explanation. I've played the entire first game but nothing after its dlc conclusion. I honestly hoped that The Following was a fever dream hallucination for the player and was simply a Halloween type story that didn't really happen. Now that Dying Light 2 is releasing I want to meet Crane who decided to face his fate and his situation with a conviction to not let himself succumb to the virus by during the day killing zombies and with night being him imprisoning himself to protect others.
I think they said Crane won't appear in the second game. Kinda sad, was hoping for something similare.
Yes, i theorized this way back when the following came out and videos about crane's fate began to surface. It wouldve been immensely cool if he like Blade would do good things in the day and in the night lock himself up so his worse side couldnt take over and wreak havoc on the remaining humans, too bad this is not gonna happen as Harran I think would be a distant memory in the new game's timeline, it may be referenced here n there but not to the extent we wouldve liked.
He won't be in dying light 2 but there is a end to his story in the game
crane won't be in DL2 and the game takes place 20 years after the Harran quarantine
@@jns6320 I see, well despite the 20 year difference I was guessing being mutated would extend his life span since that infection clearly improved his physical ability.
It's so sad that canonically all the fight in the base game was for nothing... In my head I like to imagine there's a reality we're everything worked out and they found a cure.
the nuke
@@mitchell3593 that's more than likely it but we don't really know for sure. we'll figure it out once dl2 comes out. also it seems that from the banshee comic, the virus got out either way. they may all be canon I dunno
@@jesush.christ8261 Yeah, the canonicity of The Following has always been a debate. Weirdly enough, every time I ask someone whether or not The Following is Canon, they say it isn't. But when I ask them to source it, they'll either won't reply or say that they don't know where Techland said it, just that they heard it from someone else.
Technically, your headcanon is true to a degree. They did manage to find a cure, after harran had already been wiped off the map by the virus. They managed to find an initial cure for the original strain. But unfortunately a new strain of the THV caused a second epidemic prior to the events of DL2
Throwing away the antizin drops was a sour point for me in the game. It legit didn’t make sense, and I couldn’t see cranes character do that. At the start of the game he was already doubting the GRE, now if he had started the game being more devoted to them and not questioning as much I’d believe it but as his character is now I just don’t know why he would do that. And not at least save some for himself!
I mean, a large point of the story was that Crane followed other's orders over what he believed. He threw away the Antizin despite the Tower needing it because GRE told him too, he did what Rais and Karim had him do exactly the way they wanted despite hating it. It wasn't until Rais required him to take Jade in that he started to change to following what he believes in.
Fun Fact: Brecken's mission is the Dying light Cinematic Trailer shown in 2013 with run boy run playing.
She goes to aim the revolver at her head and fires the last shot, but misses? How the hell do you miss your own head??
Somebody mentioned this in the live chat and I realized I didn't really explain it that well. She misses because she's in the process of turning and doesn't have complete control of her own body anymore.
@@SuggestiveGaming makes sense
@@SuggestiveGaming damn that's tough
@@SuggestiveGaming oof
You would also be shocked at how many people go to shoot themselves in the head and don't get a clean shot, surviving it. It's really gnarly
If I'm right in thinking, the original Dying Light trailer followed Brecken in that night when he got his head injury? Thought that was a nice touch by the Dev's if thats the case!
yes that is definitely the case, the trailer shows what happens to Brecken in that night mission
@@caljackal6139 Legit think you're right! I know there was some changes to story etc before release date. I even remember seeing pre-alpha/ demo footage some UA-cams recorded
I have played dl 1 for 4500+ hours and starting a new play-through with friends never gets old also just started dl 2 today and the parkour is taking some getting used to but dying light is such an amazing game I recommend it for everyone
It's been 6 years since i played dying light. This was a fantastic recap. I'm so ready for the Dying light 2
Some people dislike the end of Dying Light, but I think it’s amazing. It is like revisiting the starting area from the game, but with all the knowledge and upgraded skills from your journey. I can’t believe I bought the game 3 days ago and already finished it
I am so sorry, I have watched your content for quite a while and only just now noticed that I wasn't subscribed, but I could've sworn i had subscribed a while ago. Anyway I hit subscribe, love your videos! Dying Light is the GOAT of zombie games in my opinion👍🙏🙏
God, I forgot how good the story is.
it's fucking great like the dl1 narrative sucks ass but the story is absolutely amazing
Thank you for the awesome recap!
So many memories from this game 🖤🖤
I’m glad I waited to search up a summary video as I never played the first one and am currently trying to finish a couple games up before the 2nd one comes out cause I’m super hyped for it. I think this is easily the best summary I could’ve watched and you have such a good story telling voice so thank you! Subbed as well
Glad I could help! Thanks!
Oh man you should totally play the first one too.
@@Asthamedos I played a little bit of it on my series x but it looked pretty garbage and had a little outdated mechanics so I couldn’t really get into it. I would’ve only played it for the story anyway and I got that here.
@@Endymion429 you are not a true gamer
@@thicccheeks3572 don’t have much time to game anymore now that I have a 6 month old. I built a pc, have a series x and a ps4 pro. I used to play games religiously lol. Just wasn’t a huge fan of zombie games back then when this came out so I never played it. But the new one looks lit! So think what you want idrc 😂
I thank you for this video. Played the game on release but never touched the Expansion for whatever reason. Loved the game, and I thank you for this very helpful recap before enjoying the living hell out of DL2
So much respect to your passion for games to make an in depth summary kudos to you, I only ever played the base game and can't play due to being busy at work. Again thank you for this!
thats messed up that the bashee has the cure around her neck
Thank you for this! I needed this recap lol. I'm now pumped for Friday when the game comes out!
Thank you so much for this vid my dude, I had no clue about the story but DL2 looked so good, this was perfect!
Love your content, always want to see more 🧡
ghadd this got me so hype for Dying Light 2. I can't wait to see the Banshee (hopefully) in the second game and see where the story will go from there
When Brecken was injured in the first part of the game his mission was the first trailer for the game which is so cool
This game was just such a joy to play and have been hyped for the second one ever since
Im so happy i stumbled upon this video, thank you so much for your hard work m8!
you included the book!
very well done, i read the book and i saw that many people didn't even know about it, so im really glad you guys brought this in
That was a lovely recap/update for the comic, thanks a lot
It's sad that crane is infected . personally i completed the game 4 times and I loved him.
That was so precise I can't wait to see what you have for dying light 2
It uspets me that this channel has only 269k plus subs. Your channel deserves more love. Keep up the work. Forever will keep watching.
Story summary from suggestive gaming. The New year starting greatly!!!
Was looking for a vid like this ty
This definitely the best recap for DL1 you can find if you’re gonna play DL2.
that was amazing! good job!
Some stuff in here I didn't know. Amazing job documenting this. Just 2 more days!
This was really well explained. Thanks alot for the time and effort you put into this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@SuggestiveGaming looking forward to more awesome ones in the future!
I’m a new gamer and while I was trying to find new games I came across your channel. Even though the plot line gets spoiled for me, I’ve never been more grateful for something. I feel educated without being talked down on for being a girl which makes me really happy. My wallet is happy as well because after I watch a video I know whether or not I’ll enjoy the game if I were to buy it. Anyways, thanks you for putting out the content that you do and I’ll continue to support you
If you're on the fence about dying light, I'd say pick it up if parkour zombie survival sounds interesting to you, it's certainly a fun game but the second one comes out in less than a month and I reckon you don't have to play the first to enjoy the second. It's only optional if you're interested.
@@Jpik72 thank you sm for your encouragement!! I’ve played the last of us games before and I really really enjoyed those and was looking out for a similar game. After watching the video I’m definitely interested in buying the game and will probably do it in bulk with no. 1&2. I want to experience it all!!
This is one of the most uplifting comments I’ve ever read and really makes me feel like the work is worth it. I’m very happy it helped out!
just curious, why are u talked down for being a gamer girl? esp in 2022?
@@CovertPhilosopher cause *SOME*, not all but some, guys think that I’m just a poser and a pick me for wanting to game. I assume it’s because they can’t comprehend the fact that women can have interests for themselves rather than only playing games to impress guys. Plus, I don’t like doing the uwu voice, there’s nothing wrong with it!! You did you, I just can’t do it well so I dont. There are other reasons as well but if I say it might get interpreted into “man-hating” when I’m merely listing off my past experiences. But yeah 🙃
Your awesome at narration dude amazing video! 😁
Absolutely fantastic, thank you 💪
Well done! I couldnt finish the IGN recap, but wish yours was longer.
Loved the video and how deep you got keep it up
Arthur? On a zombie video oh no oh no no no no
this was a great video. Thank you
Dying Light is an incredible game. Unfortunately lol, the way you describe the plot makes it sound better than it is. The writing is a little iffy and some of the acting is kinda bad but man, the way you summarized it made me wanna play through it again haha. It’s still an incredible game regardless of it’s mediocre story. And The Following? One of, if not the best expansions to a game I’ve ever played. So excited for Dying Light 2. Less than a month to go, let’s go!
the story is fantastic, just the narrative kinda sucked in dl1
Thank you man this is one of my new favorite games and I just played and finish dying light 2👍
Great work with the story! A big fan of the Dying Light series; can't wait to get my hands on Dying Light 2! Cheers!
I never knew there was something before dying light. That was interesting. Can’t wait for this next game to come out
Thanks Man, This made a good place in me mind, So I would understand DL2. Thx!
I loved dying light and I can’t wait for the next game
Thanks. Didn't play the first game so this will really help me out👍
No lie, I've played Dying Light like 30 times since I got the ps4 in 2019. I loved that game back in 2014 but never had a console to play it. The following is great as well and I just memorized everything
An our ago I was thinking someone should make a video like this and here we are
Well done man!!
great video man
Appreciate it!
Great content!!!
Great video
Great recap!! DL has been in my Steam library for a long time. Seeing the DL 2 trailer, I finally decided to play DL 1. I was afraid it would be just a lot of parkour and just killing zombies, but I was pleasantly surprised by the story.
The one thing I don't get though is, how would this one stationary warhead destroy all of Harran and the country side?? LoL So, Kyle refusing the mother and turning is MY canon ending! 👍😂
Amazing work
Thanks a lot 😊
Great game Series so far! Looking forward to the new one.
I have been stuck on the Race To The Dam for a while. One of these nights I will slog thru. Closest I came is scaling the dam pipes. :(
Im so ready for DL 2 i love the first one I got like 200 hours played dude I loved this video Thank you 💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks need this for the new game!
I didn't know there was story before and after the 1st dying light but now I know. Thanks.
of course there is, most games have a story before the main events its called lore
I like the behind the scene part that happened right before the events of the fist Dying Light, that was interesting.
I finished this game 4 years ago so this is useful, thanks.
You know hearing the story in this format makes me realize that the DL1 story is actually really good! What's with everyone saying it sucks? Lol!
Thanks!
I didn't play The Following and when he reached the part talking about The Mother being a Volatile i was freaked out, it is really creepy
So glad to have a day off on February 4th. Cant wait to play the hell out of dl2
I’m planning on asking my parents for the sequel one day, so excited
Thanks, just in time for the sequel.
I wish dying light would have a like an Easter egg connecting it to the Mercer virus in prototype
They need to remaster that game 1 and 2
@@lostforever773 yes
Highly recommend whitelights videos on a theoretical prototype 3 if you’re a fan
I have so many amazing memories from this game
I love it so much
Great video! Thanks for the re cap.
You bet!
I just got dying light 2 and I've no idea what is going on so this helped a lot
I literally can’t wait
This was a very good video, I can’t wait for dying light 2
My friends and I are gonna replay the first with the following then finish it off with dying light 2 we’ve been waiting for this a whole 2 years
SPOILER WARNING:
Im pretty sure the 'bad ending' (crane becoming a Z) is cannon due to him getting out of the Quarentine as he was infected. I mean, how else can the infection be spread if the whole city had been quarentined? Tho it MAY be possible for those who were rescued from Quarentine (seen by the news during sector zero) that it could happened aswell but I dont think normal zombies can infect the other places since the soldiers know what they are like. UNLESS It is a volatile like one, such as Crane in the bad ending of The following.
But thats just a theory... A ZOMBIE THEORY
Excuse me if I missed something in the video.
It is. No need to explain lol
@@VoltiXHD2 I mean it CAN be also because the comic's events as the guy in the vid said: Techland didnt really said which is the reason the infection spread outside the harran and which ending is the cannon
@@tnt8522 You are right in the sense that the super zombie was needed to be a super spreader for the virus to spread easily to places other than Harran but as you said there are a million other possibilities where this can happen. First off if u look at the closing shots of the bad ending its evident that how easy it was for Crane to go to the "other side", like those underground sewers connected easily to the rest of the country/region, so its quite possible some other zombies escaped to other regions through such hidden tunnels/passageways. Secondly and more likely, as the military and other organizations of the world are interested in the virus and also have clearance to access the city, its very likely they brought in some specimens for research purposes and from their facilities more mutated strains of the virus escaped, this is already evident from the Banshee storyline that we got just recently.
Crane becoming a sentient zombie is canon, I like to think that maybe he founded his own civilization with zombies like him
According to techland both are canon
I just got dying light the one with crane can't wait for the next game 🙂 great video
Heeeey great story and great explanation of everything man! Earned another sub!
Hey, may I ask, is this enough for me to play dying light 2? I know the first one is a masterpiece and I should play it, but you know... Life catches up and now I have to really handpick the games I'll expend time playing, and 2 seemed super fun!
Story wise? Most likely. The second game’s story looks to be fairly standalone
Good video dude....
Holy Balls that was a cool story..
I’ve had DL since Launch but also have a GIANT AF Backlog.. basically I’m barley getting to Dying Light 1 & Horizon Zero Dawn right now trying to complete them before DL2 is out
Loved it
I really needed this i never was able to buy dying light and im getting the second one hopefully
I love this game . I am waiting for Dying light 2
I've already played the first and the Following, I just wanna watch this while I wait for the second game.
playing dying light 2 currently and have never played the first game, this helped me a lot! (DL2 is really fun so far, 9/10 would recommend it :D)
Nice cope on DL2, lol. Such a shit game and thoroughly disappointing "sequel" that may as well take place in an entirely different universe
@@Nyx_2142 i really dont care brother i liked it and you can have your opinion
edit: also did you really just reply to an year old harmless comment just to shit on a game you dont like LMFAO
This game means so much to me
I seen whole Thang loved it that a follow
