Suggest a game/series for me to cover on What You Need to Know!

Let me know what you'd like to see covered next!

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.

[Crimsontears]

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

[ritupamsarma]

Rahim's loss felt personal, almost like losing a brother.

[Vaniity_Velvet]

You know, Crane technically didn't need to destroy the Antizen (Antisen?) in the first drop you recover. He could have just hid it in a nearby building, because you know... He sort of needs it himself.

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.

[crosscottonwood]

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!

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.

[alexmajor]

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.

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

[roonkolos]

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

[dim]

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!

[tbg]

I like how the mother and Kyle are both not bad but have different ideas of saving mankind

[Gtneff]

It's been 6 years since i played dying light. This was a fantastic recap. I'm so ready for the Dying light 2

[kaga]

"While Kaan dies in the fall, Crane survives without a scratch" my mannn xD

[GreyKingZero]

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.

[Endymion]

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

[BatsBatsBatsBats]

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

[TovenDo.O.Video-]

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.

Fun Fact: Brecken's mission is the Dying light Cinematic Trailer shown in 2013 with run boy run playing.
