LOC Veteran Posted November 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 17, 2009 Everything is ok now? The rage candle has been put out? Not really, because now there is a problem many people are having when they go to launch the game. The "Installation is incomplete" error (2). Apparently it's easily fixed though.

Mannlich Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Just got done playing Dead Center campaign on advanced. So far, it looks really good. The gameplay feels much more intense than the first one. Looking forward to playing it some more in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookie Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Good game. Shame the match making is worse than MW2 and keeps putting me in servers located in the US. 400 ping? YEAH! That and no one wants to wait around for a lobby to fill, it's worse than on the 360. ;/ Been sitting here for 5 mins waiting for a lobby to fill. Awesomesauce.

MistaT40 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Milking it with a sequel that isn't that much different from the first one. Get it if you haven't gotten the first one I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LogicalApex MVC Posted November 17, 2009 MVC Share Posted November 17, 2009 Have you played it? Played the DEMO. Wasn't that impressed with it as a full price upgrade. That isn't to rain on anyone's parade or anything of that sort. We are all allowed to make whatever purchase choices we want with our money :). I'm sure I'll pick it up when it is ~$20.

Imnotrichey Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Please post when/if you see any great deals on this game. I'm in no hurry to buy it since I just recently picked up Batman and Resident Evil 5. But I would definitely order it whenever I see the discount. Side note, I've been reading some reviews and haven't seen any mentions of graphics. Is it the same L4D engine from the first one? Or some upgrades? Just wondering how to expect it to run on my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The demo which gave almost no indication of what to expect from the new levels or modes? How did the demo not give a good indication of what to expect from the new levels? Were there not two new levels in the demo? And it's not like the separate modes really play all that different, IMO.

Were there not two new levels in the demo?And it's not like the separate modes really play all that different, IMO. The demo was a poor indicator of how good the game is imo. I didn't find the demo that impressive, thought most of the models and stuff were from l4d1 which was dissapointing, no info about other maps or game modes. The game itself is NOTHING like the first, they've fixed pretty much every issue the first had and then some. Realism mode is TOUGH. (1. no glow around items 2. no glow around survivors (crazy hard) 3. 1 hit kill from witch 4. No respawning 5. Headshot kills only) The maps are so much more impressive then the first l4d, as well as the AI director. The special infected are much smarter (aside from boomers which are still pretty dumb..lol) but I was on a rooftop playing today and i was watching a Jocky run and hide behind cars so i couldnt' shoot him until he almost completely flanked me and when i opened the door he was right outside waiting for me. The game itself feels so much harder and makes l4d 1 feel so easy. Some finale's and maps are random, meaning everything from weapons/ammo/health/switches etc as well as pick up locations are random and COULD change. But possibly the biggest change is that there is very little room for camping, or running, which was a big problem in l4d 1. If you run, you WILL die. If you camp, you WILL die. It's almost impossible to camp at panic events because of the pace of the game and the things you are made to do. Overall it's a complete overhaul of l4d1, totally different.

Sethos Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Have you guys noticed how demo versions are ALWAYS a bad indication, no matter what platform or game it never seems to represent anything decent from the games :rolleyes: The answer always seem to be; shell out for the game, zOMG!!1 ... Demos are created to entice users, if it's a bad representation, who's to blame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:: Lyon :: Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I played for a few hours yesterday (coop) and it's good!! Definitely worth to buy The game is harder too. We were shocked to find that we died so often on the last map on Hard. Maybe we just sucked lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I can't recall a single time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted November 18, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 18, 2009 Checked it out for a few today, just did a Single Player Campaign with AI help. Did the first level, and Damn that mall part is giving me major problems when you open the door and have to get to the third level to disable the alarm. So far no matter what path I choose to take I die. Just cannot get past that part (again SP) and it is driving me mad. I did find a chainsaw already, good times indeed with it. :laugh: I would say it was well worth the $40 I spent. Easily. Main reason is I had not touched my PC for gaming in a long, long time, and now I finally have a real good reason to game on my PC again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbabyte Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Exactly. And very rarely have I ever played a demo that doesn't represent the game well. In fact, I can't recall a single time. it's not that it's a bad representation of the game... but it's only 2 levels (very poor choic of levels too imo) And is missing half the weapons, only shows you about half of the type of zombies etc.. Strictly game play speaking, it's exactly like the full game, but the full game has much more to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LogicalApex MVC Posted November 18, 2009 MVC Share Posted November 18, 2009 The demo which gave almost no indication of what to expect from the new levels or modes? Not my problem. The job of the DEMO is to show me the best they've got so I'm inclined to buy the game. If they failed to deliver then they fail to get a sale. It isn't my loss ;). I can always spend my money on something else. As I did with Batman. Played the DEMO and liked what I saw and purchased the game two days later.
