[Official] Left 4 Dead

[what]

Did you expect pink ponies that run away from you? :s

Did I say that? No. I was expecting something that attacks you from range at least. Something that doesn't involve simply holding down LT if they get a bit close and you run out of ammo.

[Pretend]

Just finished playing the demo, amazing, can't wait to go try on expert now :D

I just replayed the demo and got a different boss this time it was a witch and she killed me first time.

What a noob, thats why you don't disturb her while shes crying :laugh:

But there are those zombies that spike you with their tongues or something and then pull you towards them

[shakey]

zombies that leap and shoot their tongue out are the far ones. Do you want the zombies to all use guns? that would be stupid. Play the game on expert, you will see how well this game is.

I tried out the 360 demo today. It was pretty fun :)

[PricklyPoo]

What exactly is the point of the witch?

She is SUPER easy to kill compared to the tank boss...Even on advanced / expert, she cries, I shoot at her, it says I disturbed her, she comes at me, I shoot her again with shotgun....She's dead.

Yeah but I thought she was a survivor! :p

It's still the same thing. There's no variety...

[shakey]

Show me an FPS game with Variety nowadays. The last FPS that really brought variety was painkiller. Everything else is really the same thing over and over again.

And the witch is no push over. Maybe your playing on hacked gameplay, because ive had the witch outlast 2 full clips of the auto shotty + and grenade going off on her.

Most games have out-of-character sequences to break up the gameplay. Some shooters have driving sections for example. This is the same non-stop close quarters combat all the way through. You use the same tactics every time you play. I have other things to spend that ?30/40 on, like a car...

How do you get all that from a demo that only gives you 3 sections out of 1 map? You dont even get the play the full map, or even get any part of the story. Dont judge a book by its cover, and dont judge the story and complexity of a game from its demo. The demo is really there to show you how it will run and sort of what it will be like, usually hiding the best for those who purchase it. everyone can have their own opinion, but i normally perfer those who form theirs off of what they have learned from fullly studing the content, not just a quick glimpse.

From what I can tell so far, this game should really only get better with the addition of 4 extra players as zombies, some more weapons, and many many more maps. Plus, we konw Valve is great for keeping a game up to date and full of patches/addons. What you pay for now will only be reaped even more later on. If anyone should steal Sonys moto of you pay for the future, it would be Valve.

Don't judge a book by it's cover? Demos are supposed to make you want to buy the game! They're supposed to include the best bits of the early part of the game to get your interest. L4D has failed, and that's the end of it.

Valve didn't do a great job of keeping the Orange Box up to date on the consoles, did it? Yeah, they're great at supporting PC games, but the OB was fail on the consoles.

I thought the concept was cool, but I couldn't really get into the demo. It was just kind of... boring for me.

Oh well, I can't expect to like them all.

[Doli]

I dont have the demo on my PC anymore but I have a question. In the harder modes do they get rid of the unlimited ammo for your small handgun?

I only played the game for a short time before I had to get back into school mode.

I don't think so. AFAIK you have unlimited ammo on all difficulty levels :)

[Nick Sheldon]

Well the demo did nothing for me, and I love Zombies, I recommend valve, and source is a very good engine. unfortunately, this don't work. Gutted really.

[-Vivicidal-]

It is a nice game, but it is also very repeatative.

[Skulltrail-old]

Demo is great. Love the in-game voice chat because I finally get to use my new mic!

Too many noobs online, and it can be a pain fighting 30 zombies at the same time. (exciting though when you get out alive)

1 shotgun blast?

She's got more health than that.

Edit: Oh yeah, completely forgot about this. Valve released the posters for the "movies"

Anybody see the problem in the No Mercy poster? :p

Now go to your local movie theater late at night and slap those posters around.
