It's kinda funny the DLC referenced The story of Cain and Abel, two brothers fighting, the names (obviously).

[@That_Random_British_Dude]

I thought those names sounded familiar. Feels like Astrid did it on purpose as a way to brag

[@DakanX]

Now that you talk about it, it Kinda reminds me of that one mission in the following

[@tworld1725]

​@@DakanXCain and Abel reminded me of the mission of Dying Light: The Following Kaan and Able

[@WintersTheSixth]

I think she expected both of them to survive long enough to fight each other in the arena Looks like skull face was a repeat offender of being a cheating bitch

[@AlexBigShid]

19:29 Also heads up, don't shoot Freddy Stamma with a infected arrow then curb stomp him cuz it won't trigger the cutscene and you'll have to restart your game

"MY father used to be a legend in the arena" son, you WHAT - the apocalypse literally just happened a few years ago lol. Was he a legend for 3 months lol

[@aidensmith5304]

The variant of THV that caused the fall escaped in 2021 with Dying Light 2 taking place 15 years after that. (2036) Even the Black Monday bombings happened 9 years before the start of the game so there's still a lot of time in between.

[@nood1le]

As long as its fun. The story hasn't always been the strong point in these games

It would be cool if you do an explained on Signalis

[@destro3804]

bruh the broken recording somewhat fixes the bad ending i mean comeone techland for real

[@Chronoic]

The Skull face thing was predictable. Once he was introduce, I thought Death Race and Frankenstein, and once they introduce Abel, I knew Skullface was Abel already, it didn't matter if they try to cover it up.

I wanna know how didn't Aiden think of camouflage the whole game even Crane did and he wasn't even a pilgrim it's just a way for techland to get our money.

[@kestrel1917]

I prob screwed up the quest line bc it wasn't clear to me how to not be forced to kill Ciro during the last fight. I tried not attacking and losing on purpose thinking that would do something.

I originally bought DL2 deluxe and still can't figure out how to get Bloody ties for "free". My account is linked to Techland too..anyone have this issue?

Pretty much the game series will make you cry. Play Revolver first, then RDR2 and to RDR1 yes the story is backward but you can skip Revolver since it has no correlation with the van de Linde's gang rise and fall

the abel vs skullface fight was disfusting jeez

[@chickennor6783]

Boii

[@izzybell2203]

the stranger is abel? im so confused

[@the_swordman1]

Just think about it like this, Skullface, Abel and The Stranger is the same person, Skullface was Abel's alter ego with a mix of insanity and brainwashing from Astrid. Abel's consciousness knew what Skullface was going to do and had to stop it so he called the Pilgrim/Aiden under as some anonymous person for help to stop Skullface/himself. So Abel and Skullface are like DC's Doctor Fate or like Marvel's Moon knight etc. If that made sense. TLDR: Abel might have developed multiple personally disorder from the brainwashing caused by Astrid. He used the alias "The stranger" to get help from Aiden.

Is this a prequel dlc? aiden has powers doesn't he?

[@charleszp938]

Aiden only has powers in cutscenes. It's not a prequel, it's just detached from the rest of the game. Though you probably knew that by now.

[@BIOHAZARDRUSGaming]

The other aspect of this is that it takes place before the events of X13, the Observatory, and even finding Veronika Ryan

[@eliodergamer]

I have to say I enjoyed the dlc only 2 things I didnt like was that it was kinda short and there was only the Block thing and Tarn stuff nothing more but otherwise I liked the friendship or the first fight most Story Missions espacialy that sneak Mission was cool the side quest when you find out ciro took a inhibitor was for me that oh no that idiot moment but I was happy when he tried helping aiden if you let him survive nice challanges but again not that many so yeah but I realy loved the vibe of the Arena but you had to run 20 times outside to ciros dad was sooo anoying it takes like 5 minutes to get there and another 5 to get back was soo anyoing but otherwise everything was good if you ask me 10 points I give it a Solid 8/10 main game was for me a 7/10 so yeah enjoyed it more

[@GaudiaCertaminisGaming]

Dying Light 2 was a huge disappointment to me. I loved the first game, but the second felt like it was set in a zombie-themed amusement park.

Playing this game waited for this update back when they was promoted this video I wasn’t impressed I was expecting more but at the same time it was too short they could of game us more of a longer story it wasn’t worth it…

[@taleco77]

Great work mate. Subscribed. Though I didn't see not even 10% of what you showed during my run in this DLC. Rushed through this damn thing, killed father, son, and holy spirit. Lame game, bad voice acting, cheesy storytelling and missions/time trials. Any AAA game made in 2018 has better graphics and physics than this, and recorded tapes messages are lazy work as shit. Techland had the chance to redeemed themselves. Just proved they are not the same team from DL1 and saw today they are hiring. They sure need better professionals.

[@Shawn-Leider]

You must have played a different game than me. This game and rdr2 are easily the best two games out there

[@taleco77]

I respect your opinion. You liked it, no problem, people have different tastes. But in the same fashion as your comment, you must have been playing really weak games to be a fan of this one. DL2 continues to be a half-assed game, poorly designed, very poorly written, and so far they have never delivered an update that worked as intended, it's always full of bugs and lacking testing. That alone says a lot about the company. @@Shawn-Leider

[@vexile1239]

Most of the good ones left (forced out) because the message is more important then good stories

[@FBI-ju5no]

So, skip this dlc, because it has nothing to do with the actual story.

[@FroztYcle4737]

Does still offer some sorta story, and fun gameplay. So I'd say it's worth playing.

[@FBI-ju5no]

@@FroztYcle4737 I mean, as much as I like the main game, it's story is shit, and, currently, disconnected from the first game entirely. So I'm gonna pass on the non essentials.

[@cntipede1000]

Dying light 2 was such a disappointment I waited for years After Dying light 1.

[@BuggingonBeeroids]

What a mid story delivered awfully (talking about the game, not harry). The long soulless exposition tirades on audiologs, the narration of the fights, the on the nose naming conventions. I know it's an arena dlc but they really thought their writing was better than it was. I suppose that's just dying light in a nutshell though

[@GamingHarryYT]

Yeah, Techland has always been fairly hit and miss with their DLC’s. The overall experience was fun though. Some well designed arenas.

[@IMeanMachine101]

na this ant it

[@AlexBigShid]

This was a really mid DLC, especially compared to the first DLC we got in DL1, it's gonna take alot more than a fighting arena with a lame ass story to top Cruise & Cargo

[@sitosamin]

shame, its not a story we want. why gladiator theme played, they should be like continuous story of aiden or another story about crane

[@ImBarelyMe]

Honestly I didn’t even play this and yeah I knew the spoiler warnings, but I thought from the moment we saw skullface that skullface was actually churros brother who hadn’t died Edit: damn I’m here just as it’s revealed and I was right! But it makes sense tbf, the whole “dead innocent person brought up a 1000 times and turns out to be the lead villain” its used too much honestly

[@wayneable4454]

They should let you use your own weapon’s, bull crap dlc!!!!

[@FroztYcle4737]

I think it's to provide more of a challenge and fair fight. Don't hate it just cuz you're too shit at the game to use what the game gives you.

[@mr.starly2423]

As for me I found churro to be very annoying. Once I had a chance, I immediately defeated him. I wished Astrid would have lived. I didn’t like the ending because I wanted to stop skull face from killing her. Overall okay dlc. And you know who became skull face because it sure wasn’t churro. Churro only took credit and victory from others as his own, even though he barely did anything. I consistently had to save him and basically carry him to the end. Which I did not like a single bit. Churro ruined most of the dlc for me. That’s why I really wanted to defeat him in the ending which I did. It felt amazing and liberating once I defeated churro and skull face. Sad I couldn’t defeat their father too.
