You know what truly is dissapointing? The fact that after nearly half a decade Pyro has yet to make a Petscop 2
False promises with no result, except for more false promises
Pain and suffering
I'll be real, as much as it's beneficial for Pyro engagement-wise, I'm genuinely done with petscop 2 or hurr durr pyro inflation
All these are getting stale and it actually gets in the way of having actual discussions, and it's all just idiots repeating it trying to get as much likes as possible.
Or the fact that he calls this game Dead Rising 2 and Dying Light multiple times
@@StrikeWarlockI agree these guys genuinely sound like robots repeating the same thing
Its literally impossible for this dude to enjoy any game unless itâs first person shooter that looks like it was made in the early 2000s and thatâs all in le head
It wouldn't get that many views if he wrote something good as a title
hes not wrong

Unlucky
â@@justinbogdanski9045 doesn't work on me though
you know what is truly disappointing? pyro not uploading dead island 1 and riptide documentaries before dead island 2 came out like he said he would
He's probably gonna upload afterwards
Documentaries? You mean video essays?
This video was brought to you by dying light 2
@@sparrowanon is that not the same thing pig
I swear there isnt a single game on the planet that can make Pyrocynical enjoy it without it being from his childhood.
I think his problem is that he just marathons the game
Ofc you get mad and tired after like what? 5 hours of nonstop playing?
Same thing with Atomic Heart
â@@prettysadcat4958 The dialogue is absolutely terrible. Feels like the first game had a semi serious vibe and now the second is just one liner after one liner.
â@@zba113 who plays dead island for the story
@@rainplays203 For me the story is a catalyst for the gameplay, a good story keeps me engaged and motivated to do the missions, while the gameplay hooks me into the mechanics and loot system the world has to offer. When one sacrificed for the other it feels off imo.
@@zba113 oh
So proud of Pyro for not using âHuge Dead Island 2 Dramaâ in the title!

It took pyro almost a whole minute to realize that certain Zombies have elemental immunity
but why they don't receive any damage from the weapon itself tho??
â@@MarcinBalls So the game forces you to actually have different weapons? Jesus.
@@ChlorineRaven Adding a mechanic in the game for the sake of adding one, while it doesn't make sense is not a good thing.
A zombie taking no damage from a baseball bat with a wire, because it's immune to electricity is just straight up idiotic.
@ryze5586 right? Like jeez. So frustrating when people are unrightfully frustrated when a physical item such as the blade of an axe does 0 physical damage to an enemy in this brand new 60$ game when the same logic works in most other games, even the ones from 20 years ago. Ugh, like, this is just normal shit we should all just accept, just deal with it
@@ChlorineRaven still a shit mechanic.
pyro the type of guy to pick the character with the slowest attacks and complain about the attacks being slow
It depends on the weapon but they are kinda built to be using big slow weapons
đ
Yeah I was just thinking how most of us would realistically struggle to swing those heavy melee weapons. Combat isn't perfect, but it's also not boring imo
In his defense, there wasn't anything to say agility made your attacks slower.
Never thought agility would tied itself with attack speed đ€·ââïž
Pyro: Refuses to do Side quests in an RPG
Also Pyro: Surprised he's underlevelled
When you create a game with uninteresting.....everything, basically, what do you expect?
@@rodafowa1279 he got a bad flavor in his mouth realizing he basically chose a block build that doesnât favor agility whatsoever and that first half of the game feels very slow without having like at least 3 points in agility, also pyro is just based and likes only le head fps games
@@prodtgnd I think he got a "bad flavor in his mouth" because the game is just bad. The card system is so ridiculously stupid and out of place, it's like it was thrown in there just to do it. It's already bad enough games make you unlock basic abilities like blocking/sprinting/ADS'ing/etc. However, forcing you to use a card slot when you have small amount of slots to work with is nothing short of a joke.
@@rodafowa1279 THAT part about the basic abilities being unlocked I can see also now, Iâm 4 missions away from completing the game and I know I donât even have half of the purple cards yet, or I think the 4th row unlocked.
@@prodtgnd Yea, I mean, you can clearly see this game was in development hell for a long time. There's some legitimately decent new additions (gore system, physics from things like gas/water cans), half-assed things thrown in for seemingly no reason (cards, zombies completely immune to weapons just because the weapons are imbued with a certain elemental types, ads constantly spawning during boss fights), completely disappointing things (no open-world, no vehicles, the same re-used boss fight over and over), and, to top it all off, a cookie-cutter story with playable characters (most of the NPC's as well) who act like they're playing a zombie apocalypse game instead of actually living it.
IMO, the first Dead Island is a much better game than this "sequel," despite the first game being fairly disappointing in the first place. Just so you know where I'm coming from with that, I followed the development of the first game for 4+ years before release. It was supposed to be a completely different game (almost). Different art style, the gore system from DI2 was basically finished and ready to be used for the original, but they scrapped it. The tone of the story and the game overall was supposed to be very serious. You were going to play as a guy looking for his wife when they were on vacation on a resort island just as the zombie outbreak hit. There weren't supposed to be any joke weapons like an electric/flammable sword, etc. Basically, Techland just followed what Gearbox did with Borderlands to a T.
They've had decent success with the Dead Island franchise, but it's pretty much doomed to be a B-level, "comedy" take on the zombie apocalypse in perpetuity. Total shame, because it could've been so much more.
pyro trying to not be dissapointed by modern games
(impossible)
Pyro trying to like a game that isnât a pretentious hallway sim
The gameplay is factually shit
Pyro trying to like a single video game that was developed by more than two people in their mom's basement in 20 minutes.
To be fair so many of these modern AAA games made in Western countries are either disappointing (as in half baked), mediocre, bad, very bad to downright horrible
It's gone so bad that it even rubs off to some Japanese game devs sometimes, especially with investors and executives messing things up further, I guess AAA video game industry really tries to kill passion as much as they could, although in terms of Dead Island 2, it's more of a disappointment after an okay (but quite fun and somewhat impressionable) game, a mediocre spin off, and 8 year long wait for disappointment
I think after Left 4 Dead 2 and Portal 2 finished, so many game devs starts to gradually forgot on how to procure almost mathematical details on how to make a game feels good and fun to play, developing good video games requires harmonious combinations between:
craftsmanship, teamwork, passion, investment and management
I think they could pushes more open area stuffs, increases leveling to be much more feasible and adds more details almost in physics-degree manner to make combat more satisfying and less repetitive, this also includes adding abilities that manipulates the enemy zombies' A.I to respond in players favours like turning zombies into temporal allies or make them cannibalising each other, Dead Rising 3 & 4 shouldn't being example on how to even make good zombie games
They could've gone back to Left 4 Dead 1/2 roots without falling into the dreadful pits of Back 4 Blood too but oh well
Pyro not complaining about new games challenge: Impossible
New games are actually good challenge
Only niche provocative indie games with distinctive art styles deserve any praise.
new triple A games just tend to be shit these days đ€·đ»ââïž
@@nenemuy Liked RE4, Dead Space, Atomic Heart and said this game looked good but the combat wasn't great.

@@ectothermic He liked two remakes of older games and a FPS looter-shooter which was mediocre at best. This manâs opinions donât make sense.
The shocked expression on Pyro's face when he realised that Ryan has 1 agility
The fact they lied to him,since agility only affects walking speed
Itâs weird how no one mentions how well done the facial capture is in this game. Itâs some of the best face animations in the industry.
mayby because thats one of the least important things for everyone.... better save money with still images text and sound and fix the combat

â@@insiainutorrt259yeah I really enjoyed Baldurs gate 1 and 2 and they have horrible graphics and rarely any voice lines but I have a blast.
DI2 is still not as disappointing as Pyro not releasing Petscop 2 after making a promise

Sadly, it's not inflation
@@Adanish-oe6lf for pyro for sure đ
The combat in dead island 2 feels the same as trying to fight in your dreams
That is an amazing way of describing it!
I think its more like swatting flies, like skyrim, a "claymore" has the same reach as the bat in Dead Island 2
I honestly appreciate Pyro's genuity, he might be an irreversible degenerate but the fact that he refuses sponsors that forbids him from shitting on the game is enough to tell you how much effort he puts on making his criticisms as informed as possible. He's my go to y**tuber if i wanna see a review on something.
But according to some commenters here he just doesnât like âmodern gamesâ. Canât even criticize a game without getting the mob on your ass
"he might be an irreversible degenerate"
no, he *is* and I'm tired of pretending its a bad thing
Not to play devils advocate but the whole point of paying someone to sponsor your game is so they can make it sell if they wanted criticism then they would go to game critics and look at the reviews
â@@joe_d3225 Game critics have been paid off many times in the past.

We Happy Few combat is slow though I feel like it fits with the game, since some of the characters probably had little to no combat experience before the events of the story.
We happy few is one of my favourite games of all time. Honestly I enjoy the combat but I think Iâm a minority. The game is seriously flawed but I just love the atmosphere and characters so much
â@@smuleforsyth the atmosphere in We Happy Few is incredible and is oddly cosy to me in a way, perhaps because it reminds me of Bioshock. I live in fear of a bad live action adaption of the Bioshock trilogy but I think We Happy Few could be adapted for a show pretty well with the right budget (ie getting TLOU treatment).
Apologies if this comment appears as basically a repeat, idk if my first reply posted.
@@RealElongatedMuskrat I would love to see a live action of we happy few, me personally I liked the concept and story more than the actual gameplay
@@smuleforsyth itâs not that flawed
@@tomwhite7022 itâs a very buggy game with poor optimisation and was generally received poorly. Still a goat game to me but I acknowledge the issues
Pyro is the type of person to replay the same 2000's games over and over, because no modern games please him, and he's achievement hunting.
If you havenât noticed yet, Carla will voiced by the same person that voices Sombra in OW, and Raze in Val. Ryan, if youâve played Control and met Arish then youâd recognize his voice. What Iâm trying to say is that Dead Island 2 excels in many places but falls short in others. In a way it feels like there wasnât good communication between the different teams and the directors lost the creative direction they originally had for the game. My hope is that they continue to update the game for years to come similar to Dying Light. Who knows maybe theyâll update the story, or the combat, maybe add more areas to the maps, or potentially theyâll make the executive decision to change everything! Only time will tell what changes they decide to make to the game.
I don't wanna see the Devs crowbar the game into something else.
They made it, and they released it.
I want to see DI3, not DI2 ver.42069.
The game is short, and it's almost a proof of concept, maybe a bit like Ground Zeroes.
I want to see the Franchise grow, not stagnate.
I mean I knew going into this the game wasnât going to be mind blowing but after playing for a few hours it is some of that good old fun!
But the combat still shit soo đ

@@Dualbattle2062 pyro mentioned this too, which i find kinda funny tbh.
the fact that they pulled out when he basically told them that IF the game if shit, he'll make a follow-up vid shitting on it, tells me they had no confidence whatsoever that people might say its good out of their own volition instead of parroting someone else's opinion.

Pyro try not to complain about enemies being tough while being severely under levelled challenge (impossible)
Bro probably hates borderlands 2 for the blood wing fight being a level spike if you didn't do sidequests
why are the enemies so spongy? is it supposed to be like that?
Yes, they get pretty tanky in DI 1 too.
@@testhekid Played through the whole game and it seems like enemies higher level than you have some kind of innate damage resistance, so if they have the red icon or skull it's better to either avoid them or go do a handful of side quests. I only did about 1-2 side quests per area, and only rarely had a level issue
@@gaiusperson8704 To be fair in borderlands 2 the enemies atleast didnt get resistance bonuses when they were higher level than you. So even if enemies had a skull icon you still could burst them down relativly quickly with the right gear (itÂŽs when slag becomes mandatory where borderlands 2 becomes absolute bullshit)

@@jakeleuthen3931 đ
I picked Jacob for my first full playthrough the guns are fine and I think the weapon attack speed depends on the weapon your using it can also be upgraded too but a issue with the game on solo is the fact that after all your quests are done there's nothing to do except try online which way funner then solo tbh

because those games had creativity and weren't just the same shit over again
The fact there was actually a Timesplitters arcade cabinet in the arcade absolutely infuriates me because I thought the writer just didn't know the name of Time Crisis at the point of writing ryans dialogue AND IT WAS ACTUALLY MADE INTO A ARCADE GAME.... WHY
Well for a sec i thought that it might be a reference to Homefront since there is an arcade machine where you can play whole timesplitters
â@@thebiggestlosereu5484 Yeah, because it's the same devs who made this game.
I'm not planning to play Dead Island 2 (I didn't even play the first Dead Island), but in my opinion, the game should've been much better in all means for a game that stayed in development for TEN years.
I bet most of the people who were hyped for Dead Island 2 expect more from the game.
But it doesn't make difference to me. I won't play the game anyway.
Itâs quite the contrary when it comes into games that go through development hell. If it was one studio for 10 years, yeah thatâs an understandable stance. But the game got tossed around to 3 different studios, where each time the majority of the previous iteration of the game was scrapped. Development hell =/= development time is the main point lol
@@mdogmatt5793 I wasn't aware of the game changing the studio 3 times. In that case, I guess the final product could've been worse considering everything...
But still, if Techland were having such a rough time with Dead Island 2, perhaps they should've canceled the game.
I don't know about the fans, but if I was a fan of a determined game franchise, I'd rather have no sequel than a poorly made one.
@@grimreaper6060 I actually donât know if techland was ever in development of it. Iâm pretty sure it started with the studio who made SpecOps the Line, since techland spun off into dying light. Since Deep Silver wanted the game to be developed, it was gonna be made regardless of if developers wanted it or not. And developers will make it since they want a job lol. Sadly the gaming world is a lot more business oriented than it was (or at least appeared to be) in the 360 and ps3 days
@@mdogmatt5793 That's what happens when people let their greed speak louder... Usually, they prefer to make the game one way or another and release it regardless its condition, so then they can have as much money as possible with it. While *most* of the fans get disappointed with the final product.
This is why I never get hyped for any game. It's not worth the deception (When it comes), especially these days.
Pyro made me laugh when he said dying light 2 had good combat
ITS ASS ITS FUCKING SHIT THEY RUINED IT
Ikr, played it a ton and I always felt the weapons all felt the same, and not powerful at all
Both games are shit
Dying Light 1 has better combat imo
Cap, just check out the new footage of katana combat
Dying Light 2 > Dead Island 2
The combat system of dead island 2 is like playing the pyro in tf2.
genius idea: add a tutorial before the plane crash that lests you try each character and see who you prefer instead of blindly choosing one based on stats
I don't think I know any games that do that but the stats are enough. You can tell each category with the stats
tank: Ryan, carla
dps: dani, jacob
assassin: Amy, Bruno
It's not that hard to tell what their playstyle is.
â@@Pow3rsprunk what is the difference besides assassin and dps?
â@@Bubbagaming90000 constant outgoing damage vs single high damage precision attacks
Honestly the floaty slashes remind me of cyberpunk's katana build except you're not hitting anything. What is even more sad is that we saw a photo realistic indie game but there the combat actually seemed to be completely okay but a, supposedly, larger game can't do it
Cyberpunk almost certainly had more finding than DI2, this is the most hilarious statement I've ever seen.
I remember completing dead island when i was 8 on my xbox 360, now I'm almost done with my first year of highschool for shocked that this game even came out after it being dropped countless times
Pyro picked the best character in the game, lmao
Dani tho
"mouse 1 the video game" says the pyro main đ
I don't blame pyro for getting the games mixed up due to how many games are called dead in it that have zombies.
Fun zombie game is a fun zombie game and thatâs what I got definitely wouldnât call it disappointing especially after switching devs multiple times and being in development hell (also the combat feeling weightless is just plain wrong)
I love pyro but he is so stupid in this video
When a game got a 70 bucks price tag I don't give a fuck whether its been development hell or switched devs multiple time. Just give me a game worth 70 bucks. Gamers nowadays are so braindead and desensitized from all the new dogshit AAA games.
I feel like all these guys complaining about weightlessness maxed out on mods that increase stats, but reduce force and they just never actually thought those stats on the weapon actually matter
I don't rate games on what almost happened and what could've been if things hadn't been different.
The game came out and the melee is pretty bad.
Everything else, (maybe not the story) is okay and expected.

I legit had to double take when you mentioned Dead Rising 2, then realised you goofed. Dead Rising 2 was a chef's kiss of a game.
fr fr on god on god and tbh i prefer chuck greene to frank west
I'm more offended the that the game referred to the character I'm playing as "them".
It feels like its a lazy way of just not making a new voice line.
I will agree with Pyro about the game's combat not looking as great. But, at the very least, the gore tech and graphics do look amazing. But also, to make a game actually good too, it needs to at least have combat that feels like it has some weight, and so on, as Pyro has mentioned. You can have some story stuff going on and whatnot and it doesn't necessarily need to be the best or anything. With a game like this, people expect some really fun combat since they will be looking more at wanting to do zombie killing than the story and whatnot. Maybe they had too much time being spent on making the gore look as good as it is, or working on other areas of the game, idk. But maybe they can update the game to at least make the combat feel a little better, idk. I will say that I haven't necessarily played the game myself, but I have watched some friends play. And the most interesting thing out of everything was pretty much the gore. So yeah.
Other than that, I have played the new update put out for Dying Light 2, known as the "Gut Feeling" update. They basically improved the combat feel, physics, and changed the way the gore works on zombies and other enemies. Now, zombies actually have noticeable marks based on where you generally hit them. It isn't anything like Dead Island 2's, but it still makes the feel of the combat in the game a lot nicer than it used to. There is a bug with one of the combat moves you do, specifically when you go to throw an enemy with a charged throw. The normal throw of throwing them left right or behind you will make them stumble and result in being stunned briefly. The charged throw, should make them actually get tossed, going into ragdoll mode in whatever direction you throw them in. But with the new update, they just fall down in front of you mid-throw. I'm sure it will get fixed at some point if it hasn't been already. But yeah. I guess what I was trying to get at by mentioning Dying Light 2 is that originally, at the launch of Dying Light 2, the combat didn't necessarily feel the best, but with time, Techland was able to improve it, making it feel a lot more satisfying to fight zombies. With Dead Island 2, it may be the same case here as well, maybe. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.
Pyro is so brave for not naming this video "Huge Zombie Drama"
The youtuber apology board joke was funny but the forgot to add the quintessential sad sigh at the beginning
The fact that we happy few, one of my favourite games, is mentioned in this vid makes me happy. Itâs so flawed but I love the story and vibe so much
The walk of fame names at 1:07:15 were actually voice actors for the game.
The combat felt odd at first in Dead Island 2, but after about 5 hours it clicked for me. Combat really feels great imo, especially going fury mode
You know what's great?
People are clowning on dead island 2, not realizing dead island 1 was an absolutely horrid game through and through.
I didn't make it an hour into the first one.
At least it doesn't compare to the level of disappointment on how Pyro's father feels for him
I thought it was pretty decent only a few things I had a problem with like dying with health still left, the zombie respawn rate is way way too quick, and the ending is just really abrupt and it feels more like itâs a start too a mission
Pyro is slowing turning his second channel into a game journalism channel and I wish him all the best for his new business endeavor.
I think with couple of mods, the fighting could be fixed a bit but unfortunately nothing you could do about the story
Would love to see a pyro we happy few review or in depth video, one of my favorite games.

Dead Island 2 was the first zombie game i played after so many years, amost a decade to be exact. I love it so far, it's really refreshing to have such a game in a genre that's been milked so much.
Pyro seems to enjoy games that are in le head only.
how is not playing zombie games makes Dead island 2 better? are you trying to say that only zombie games have melee focused combat? Fuck is your comment supposed to mean?
just get dying light 2, its just a much better version of this

It was pretty good actually, I think it's unique, yet small for the years worked on. (Definitely rushed out the gate plot-wise, but was SMOOTH at launch)
Yeah it's kinda insane that DI2, the quintessentially modern developer he'll game, came out in a much better state than the majority of AAA games anymore lol.
@@archbishopofthecrusades9579 Yeah, I was pissed at how The Callisto Protocol was on PC Launch. Graphics were hell
How is this game unique its purposely corny and cliche
I agree it wasn't that unique. All I know is that I liked it, I would've liked it better if the plot was more thought out. @@dolphin5177
Unique, my ass.
My first time seeing the characters swing a weapon I knew that they somehow fked up the combat. Like they would wield a 10 pound hammer and they would swing it like they're lightly slapping a toddler
Normally I am pretty skeptical of newer games cause yeah there really are a buncha new ones that just aint there but dead island 2 while not obviously dead island one was good. Not THE BEST THING EVER but it was def a good time. The combat is a lil miffed lil bit on the floaty I feel though because they try to really incentivize you in doing the heavy attacks which lead into some spicy animations. The finishers etc. However the devs have said they are planning on really keeping this game going kinda like how techland is doing with dying light 2. Which just got a MAJOR update so Iimagine a few things here and there and this game will just get better. Its a quality of quantity sort of deal that I enjoy.
Plus unless it has only three pixels Pyro just isn't gonna like it
Dead island game seems like a game in the same vein of mafia 3: where itâs better to watch all the cutscenes on CZcams then to actually play and experience the whole thing for yourself
7:35 its not captioned, but I heard Ryan say, in between screams, "WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT!?"
Literally my first thought when seeing Dr. Reed was "They should've hired Giancarlo Esposito for this"
Dead island has never been a good franchise. Iâm surprised the sequel was as good as it was. Itâs real problem is how overpriced it is for what your getting.
Thatâs what I donât get about the people in the comments dogpiling Pyro for saying the game is disappointing. If this is a 40-50$ game sure maybe itâs a bit more acceptable, but 70$ for what is shown? Nah man
Thank you everyone for 5 likes my girlfriend might actually come back now when I show her this
Nah, 1 was pretty okay tbh
Could actually you know cut off and criple limbs, weapons had SOME impact
Shits gotten awful
I've been playing it and I love the game! The details are great, the leveling system and gameplay feel good. Everything is surprisingly balanced and I have played it since yesterday morning. You don't ever feel like a God and it's like a funny B movie like it set out to be!
1984 propaganda
@@PosterityIslesNews lol
why does every positive comment sound like pr talk? why do you talk like that?
It's really great and everyone who says the story is worse than the original was probably a literal toddler when it released because nobody thought Dead Island 1 had a great story and I remember we all shit on Riptide when it came out. Hell, the original game's story made no sense at all without the Ryder DLC, which was also half loved and half hated by the community. I really feel like a ton of people have nostalgia glasses on for the original because as someone who played every game in the series when they came out this is pretty much what I expected, upgrades to the fury and skill system as well as really good graphics. The Dead Island story wasn't ever really that great though and it was always almost like a B movie, so I really don't get all the complaints on it.
@@GloryOfBarbelo because its 1984 propaganda
picked dani, with the right cards you can hit hard and keep it up since your stamina just keeps refilling
the markiplier announcement was the most exciting part of the video
That's actually disappointing. I'm not even playing the game and I feel like my hands are feathers now with how floaty those attacks look. The parry spam also makes me shake my head hard.
It doesn't really work it's like 20% chance of working
22:03 the fact that Ryan then gets sprayed by a guy named Michael is perfect comedic timing
i like how at the end the nailgun was better than a shotgun
It was so nice of that clown Zombie to knock you out then not try est you till you could defend yourself
I'm really disappointed there aren't any drivable vehicles or boats in this game. Dead Island 1 and Riptide had vehicles.
What were you gonna do with a boat? This isn't an island anymore, for some reason
@@Pow3rsprunk Why's it called dead island then wtf.
â@@shionsonozaki5730 bro đ
@@shionsonozaki5730 TECHNICALLY, and hear me out here, North America is just a REAAAAAALLLLY big island.
@@GoldSpangledBananaBoy Actually, North America isn't small enough to be an island, in my opinion.
i feel like pyro forget that dead island weapons have levels so using same weapon it will fall off and do less seeing pyro moan about hp is funny asf bc i dont think he noticed weapon level get better the highedr
I personally really like this game because i actually use my abilities and heavy attacks giving the combat better depth. Also b hopping made the game like actuality 20x better when i lerned how to do it
the description is an accurate explanation as to why he felt the combat is too floaty lmao
