Over the years I've seen a couple dead island playthroughts. This one is probably the best. You were though, cautious, and did several missions i didn't even realize were in the game. Well done.

[@Andserk]

Thank you for playing this game, it was such a nostalgia trip for me. Keep it up!

[@palmtree61ify]

Hey dude, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching Part 1 of your Dead Island playthrough!!! About a year and a half ago, when I first became a member of your channel, I suggested you consider this game to play. At that time, Git Gud Fox was doing his re-playthrough of Dead Island and I was addicted to watching it. I guarantee you will really enjoy this game and from the number of likes the viewers are loving it too! I would like to take this opportunity to recommend another wildly under-rated post apocalypse game that came out the same year as Dead Island (2011). The game is "Rage" developed by id Software and published by Bethesda. I know the number of games on the list is large, but if you get the chance to play Rage you will really enjoy it. It has much in common with Mad Max, but actually I liked it better than playing MM. Keep up the great content!!!

[@sumeunggai5665]

Ur snowballin menard, and the grind is impeccable. Prepare for success.

[@herbertnosworthy1]

Same bro!! Thought I’d play DI OG coz the hype around DI2. Sooo fun to watch your exact same thought processes through the whole start! Thanks man! Peace.

[@EnvyEve]

The Anne mission (Teddy Bear), she was originally a child I believe, but they changed the character to an adult, though kept the mission, something about discomfort over a child being in this type of game.

[@indiadelon8771]

I love this game, definitely a favorite of mine. Very excited about Dead island 2

[@nelly5389]

1.1k likes… safe to say boot gang wants to see another episode haha

[@petemartin6270]

in the tutorial of Dying Light 2, Aiden meets Spike and they go to a really nice house in the woods where there was a sort of, shall we say "last hoorah" party. and there's a record player. and the record on that player is "Who Do You Voodoo". *chef's kiss*

[@ianmillard59]

The original trailer for dead island riptide is so brutal

[@ronoholiv]

Got that literal Boot Gang going on. I'm glad you're finally experience this game!

[@TaniaRavenYT]

This game was fun back in the day. I played co op with friends and solo. It's underrated.

[@Miguel-kw5js]

At 2:47:04 You crashed into a charter bus then said "Oops that's a bus, yup there it is" 🤣 You're super hilarious and this is one of the reasons why I watch your videos from the beginning to the very end. If your videos were 10 hours long, I would still watch them because you hilarious in a good way. Thanks, Brian, for just being you. 🤘🤙✌

[@billyfootjr2810]

My favorite part about the intro is how even though he was drunk, he still needed to splash water on his face after seeing that like "The hell was that?"

[@FigureInMind]

Great video b! Be sure you play dead island riptide. It's a stand alone game.

[@douglaswilliams4389]

When she said "the bigger they are" I waited for "the bigger the pices" but alas.

[@martinsand1768]

I had to dowload the game, because Brians gameplay was so badass. I played the Dying Light games. But when Dead Island def.editon was released, I can’t say no to that, cheap price too. Thank you for the entertainment Brian!

[@randystephenson6963]

Hey Brian just go back to moment 1:50:53 look how you landed that zombie head sitting up looking it's body on the pool recliner... as if it's saying what you doing over there I'm headed over here

[@DanteKurosaki]

I remember playing the absolute hell out of this game when I was a kid, the nostalgia hits hard. After this game you should definitely play Dead Island Riptide!

[@muh_lah_zuh2412]

This was my SoD2 before it came out. Probably played those two games more than any other. Quick Tip: Easiest way to kill them is on the ground, easiest way to get them on the ground is to jump kick them. If you figure this out after I commented and before this video is over than sweet 🤷‍♂️. Hopefully you'll have time to finish this game with all the new stuff coming out. I haven't been able to catch any live streams but Congratulations on the sub accomplishment. Been started watching around the 1100 sub count so it's amazing to see the growth. Keep up the amazing work and it'll only go up from here.

[@Robbini0]

The first couple you found dead in the hotel room is the pair that's shown in the trailer. They tried to protect themselves in their room, but their daughter had been bitten and was biting them, so they threw her out the window. Also, a trick this reminded me of was, if you can loot them, they're not getting back up again. If you can't loot them, hit them once to check whether they will.

[@connorcureton7334]

Don't forget riptide after this which is part two basically.

[@thatmidwestguy7538]

Duuude, I watch your ish for SOD2, but man, this is the game that drew me in.

[@omarlopez1372]

Hell yeah! I was hoping to see you play Dead Island someday! Glad you enjoyed it, man!

[@douglaswilliams4389]

This one seems well worth my time watching you play... good choice. 👏rewards for accomplishment have a good rythem

[@stephblurry5002]

This game is easily the most fun I ever had playing a game. One of my all time faves.

[@wilfredolozada443]

This game is one of the best zombie games there's a lot of mods that you make the katana mod with electricity this is dead island and there is dead island riptide that the second one both are good there's a lot of different zombies you see your just starting the guns you'll get when you combat with the people at the gas station

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

I’m gonna catch this after Dead Island 2 stream! I loved this game when it came out. I’ll never forget “who do you voodoo!”

[@MBulldog1979]

Finished a playthrough with Purna like one or two months ago. Love this game, love the B movie vibe of this. What would have made it better, imo, would have been if it had a VHS tape filter to make it look like one of those old 80's horror/sci fi movies.

[@ny_rican]

Love the game , did 2 playthru with 2 differant charactors. and the same with Riptide, can't wait for Dead Island 2. Great job man.

[@Zkillscreen]

Dead Island 2 will most probably have p2w elements and woke bs. Check reviews and look at videos to decide. Dont pre-order anything.

[@edimus3324]

Still waiting for part 2. The nostalgia of this game. 😭😭😭😭

[@broyalty86]

Dead island definitive collection is 5.99 with gold on Xbox if anyone needs to know comes with dead island, dead island riptide, and a 16bit dead island game good deal for anyone looking to try out the game

[@D3ST72]

This was the ground work for later making Dying Light, in it self, quite an awesome experience. - Jump-kick FTW.

[@Mumma-Jess]

I played this game not long after its release on the PS3 and loved every minute of it. After playing resident evil for years, it was nice to have a different zombie dynamic to experience. Then dying light came out and I was blown away as well as with dying light 2. I just recently purchased DI on steam and am looking forward to the nostalgia that this game gives me. Love your walkthrough so thank you for playing this great seriously underrated game.

[@BeastGaming-jl7ro]

Sam b the goat

[@waldo2543]

Logan was always my favorite, it seemed like his specialty was the only one that really carried into late game other than purnas, since everyone converts to guns typically anyway at some point, but throwing high tier bladed weapons was dope so I never felt the need for them...cept a serious pain in the ass early game, not really an issue in riptide since you start at a high level or import, but honestly all the characters where good, logan did make me laugh the most though, his brand of assholery was just right imo

[@randylivesay347]

I love the games love that you're trying them out for the first time in years understand Dead Island riptide the second one is good the problem I had with it was the map design they could have did a little better on that from the first Dead Island

[@facts-hurt-feelings8318]

Hey man I am enjoying this video. I just started playing this a couple months ago so watching you go through the first part is super cool. I found this to be a very engaging game and they do an awesome job of setting up the atmosphere to make you feel so isolated and hopeless. The ambient music is perfect. I have to stop playing every few hours and look outside just to make sure the world is still there! 😆

[@GyorBox]

Brian, looking at map: "We already partially cleared this out" Me: 😂😂 That's cute that he thinks it's clear.. 😂😂 AKA The enemies respawn.. lol Didn't want you to think I was making fun of you.. I love this game, and it's soooo awesome to watch you play it for the first time! I was one of those that recommend it to you. A long time ago, in fact. Lol 😂 I'm glad to see you finally playing it. Utilize that kick. It can save you wear and tear on your weapons. And as long as you have stamina, it will always do damage. In fact, jump then kick in mid-air will knock down the Zeds everytime. Then use the normal kick to boot stomp the Zed to death.. Also, when you change maps to the city, don't be freaked out. The sounds in the deep city will freak you out if you aren't ready. It's kind of disturbing.. I really want to watch the next episode... Lol

[@Iker..G]

Super good game and awesome stream

[@Miguel-kw5js]

You have me die laughing with the face expressions you make when you are fighting zombies 😂🤣😂

[@christophersims7060]

I really had to laugh at when you said how big the map was here at the resort and yeah the city is after this and the sewers and the supermarket and back to the resort and you got to get the armored car and go to the hotel itself, and back to the city again and to the City Hall and then you finally got to get out to the jungle at some point where that plane went down at, and then there's more lots and lots of things to do on Dead Island, watch out for continuous Quest though they get to be a pain in the ass. But I love this game! I know I've seen you through a few things but I don't know if you know how to aim yet and if you did do that already later on in this video and I missed it cuz I'm only at about an hour and forgive me for saying it. But I think if you pull the left trigger it gives you a Crosshair and that's perfect for throwing your weapons at whatever and also those fuel tanks you see all over the place explode very nicely just make sure you're far enough away and eventually you'll get a blueprint for deodorant bombs if you didn't get that yet either and that's deodorant and duct tape to make sure you save plenty of that and alcohol cocktails which you'll get some point, don't drink alcohol

[@dman7654]

This game is amazing, Dead Island Riptide is just as good and now they're planning on releasing Dead Island 2 I believe next year. They're also releasing a new remade Dead Space. It's gonna be a good year already

[@dman7654]

I'm now a new subscription to your channel keep playing you gonna find out what you missed before dying light. And your only a quarter through if that.

[@doomtastic3635]

Love it

[@kangkang122]

This game is a masterpiece

[@TaniaRavenYT]

Sam B is a real life rapper. Guy has good singles

[@cobracommander6522]

Dead Island is a good game and Dead Island Riptide is good to. The Metro games are made by Deep Silver as well. Xian Mei is my favorite character.

[@truegamer2819]

im so sad that i miss this live stream, cause i love this game, and its way way more fun when playing in Multi-player

[@purplebutrfly30]

I'm playing it now. It's so fun that I got the trilogy. Definitive, Riptide and Retro. Can't wait for DI 2.

[@kevinflinner9185]

Loved it!

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

We need a revisit to this as well, I need a Sam B playthrough! He’s the best.

[@Howard0Chris]

I'm glad they're finally releasing Dead Island 2. They better have another Sam B song though. One that was never released like in Riptide

[@sebastienlepelley7223]

Hi Brian this game is awesome tanks to play it 👍👍👍

[@jamilalhayek3003]

Pretty good

[@ThatManTacotank820]

This game is like Skyrim and fallout but with zombies

[@ViralMag_Ravager]

Irrc if you can't get a head shot, cutting the zombies off at the knees was very effective

[@Swizz76242]

I hope you play this again!

[@chronicshroom6900]

Just wanted to let you know man dead island is a 3 part series now dead island, dead island riptide, and now dead island 2 witch isn't made by techland.

[@awesomepork101]

I really like this game. I’m very hyped for the sequel

[@randylivesay347]

If you jump and kick at the same time you knock them down to the ground if you smash the heads of the infected that run towards you you collect meat is what you need to create the meat bait

[@manuelacevedo79]

You should play dead island Riptide also a good game

[@TaniaRavenYT]

"Who do you voodoo"

[@amazingasmr4434]

This story is in 3 different games. You need to play them all to understand whats going on. Have fun!

[@derrickmoorehead5135]

I still haven't completed the game yet time to download it again

[@crealkillr]

LOL i thought this was Dead island 2.

[@Bob-xz1bx]

Stack the missions then look at the map for locations. Do 2 or 3 missions in that area.

[@dutchmasterssss3902]

Hey man I hope your enjoying this game. This was one of the best zombies games of all time. Especially with all the crazy weapon mods you can create. This is tempting me to go and buy this. If online still works I think i might to tell you the truth. It’s sad we never see games release like this anymore with so much content once it releases. Now it’s all live service crap that comes out unpolished and crazy amounts of micro transactions. But again enjoy bro I bet this will be your favorite as well when you finish the game

[@Miguel-kw5js]

At 2:01:31 you asked, "What's a Git?" Well, a Git is more or less of a Git. 😂🤷‍♂ I'm messing with you, I don't know either.

[@vipboyrockywilliams6577]

Shid bruh I picked the same character just cause she looked good 😂 Connie chung keep it up bruh much luv from Miami FL 🌴💯💨

[@bradleypeate3266]

have you seen the trailer for this itss so dam amazing :)

[@MrTsober]

Use Fury on thugs

[@TaniaRavenYT]

Xian is awesome

[@steveng8251]

Back when this game came out if you played it on normal, there was not so many drinks and water and such.. Are you on easy??

[@DaboooogA]

This game go back further than this guy's hairline

[@BrianMenard]

Nah nothing goes back that far 🤣

[@ayman7031]

Man i like this game, but it was full of glitches, pretty bad acting & direct, i hope part 2 will be better .

[@boone7777777777]

Did they nerf the heavy zombies? Either I really sucked at this game or they made the heavy zombies easier. They used to be like mini bosses so I remember.

[@kpeez_29]

ITS the same devs as dying light

[@randomname8220]

I’m pretty sure he said that at the start

[@heraldoriviera3851]

I have been trying all day and cannot get this video to play!!!! All other videos are fine, but this one keeps spinning and spinning....sad face.

[@dustinblankx188]

Idk who your getting your facts from, but dead island was a super huge flop. Trailer had everyone hyped for years, than they released a turd.

[@C0rr0siv3]

Dude u do not know what first look means lol

[@BrianMenard]

So this being my first ever look at the game doesn’t qualify as a first look? 🤔

[@BrianMenard]

It’s to let people know it’s my first time playing the game because I get asked a thousand times while I’m streaming if it’s my first time playing it. So I put it in the title so people know

[@Irish1Eric]

Ummmmm. Iconic? Na. Dead Island is average at best.

[@randomname8220]

Aw, gotta give it props for how good it was made, a lot of games where still not rpg.

[@Irish1Eric]

@@randomname8220 fair enough. It just never really struck a cord with me at all
