I currently have Dead Space, COD WaW and Left4Dead rented through Gamefly, and want to make room on my queue for Prince of Persia. I'll be returning Dead Space once I am finished with it, which would prolly be around mid december. So, I'm thinking of keeping either COD WaW or Left4Dead.

Right now Gamefly is having a $10 off sale, so buying either game would be $35, plus I have $5 gamefly buck, which means the game would actually be $30.

Here's my dilemma. I love Left4Dead more than COD WaW, but as far as a game with a longer lifespan, I have no clue. WaW has the incentive of the online ranking and unlocking system, plus completing the Co-op and zombie mode challenges, which adds to the MP EXP. Left 4 Dead has no online ranking, so I would constantly have to find friends to play this game with online, and I don't know how long people would be playing this game for into next year. Lemme know what you think.

Well, you can still play L4D with randoms as well. Just not as many randoms vs COD5 :p It also has that awesome drop in/out AI when you hit pause (Y)

Seriously I don't get the hype behind COD5, just play the better version aka COD4 :yes:

Zombie mode doesn't beat zombie game. FACT! :p

Reviews speak for themselves boyos!

L4D > COD5 :yes:

The reviews can say all they want. But no matter what the reviews say, it still comes down to Massive deciding on which gameplay/type he likes better.

And besides, I haven't seen you wanting to play MP with him in L4D :p

Call of duty is my favorite but i waited over 2 yrs for L4D...

My advice is keep L4D because its 4player CO-OP that is just outright fun!

New style of gaming (not that different though) but still its a nice break from usually

But....

you are using gamefly and can get them back at no charge .... so its not that much of a decision.

Yup I agree, it depends on his taste because both games are vastly different MP experiences. I've been too busy to play games full stop, so that's nothing negative in L4D's book ;)

Then let's wait for the most played list from MN and then we can all point and laugh at you :p

Doesn't matter, the review scores show L4D is the better game, nothing changes that ;). I don't care if 1 million 6yr olds are all playing COD5 every night. It still sucks :p

Review scores are based off one lonely guy's preference, most played list is based off the users opinion

Mob opinion > One guys opinion.

kk? :p

That's the only problem with COD MP. Going to get worse after Xmas.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
