Left 4 Dead

Let me get this straight rainbow butt....

Left4Dead was released, huge success, everyone loved it!

And your bitching because they are releasing a sequel?


Also. Left4Dead isn't dead, and the new one is going to be a bit different from the original.

1: Just because something's popular does not mean it's good, though L4D is quite fun.

2: I'm annoyed by that exact article that Dreadwolf posted, they said they'd give it a good bunch of support and keep the game new overtime, waited a whole year, got one new map and one new mode, both of which were nothing amazing and seem like they could've been made pretty quick.

Then at the same time releasing that bit of new content, they also come out and say, "Don't forget to buy our new full-price sequel too" and from what I've seen and heard the sequel just looks less fun, incendiary bullets, boring sounding characters, new melee weapons that are probably pointless, new areas look fine, but that doesn't warrant a whole new game, zombies that resist fire and heard something about zombies that resist the urge to chase bombs.

I don't know, it'll be some fun I'm sure, but I really don't like buying another full-price L4D one year after the first and getting little to no content that whole year for the first.
 
To be honest, I don't see the point of buying the sequel either. It doesn't look different enough. I think I will stick with the original for awhile.

Still, I'm happy this DLC is coming.
 
I am glad there's some actual DLC coming out, but I'm gonna let L4D2 go down in price a bit before I give it a try, not gonna pay $50-$60 for it.
 
Wait for some 50% off weekend or something, yeah.

If they're smart they'll give L4D owners a discount, if they don't then I've just lost some serious respect for them.

Right and why? they wana make $ like everybody no big secret so i quess your dream will never happen...

Do what others do wait half year and then buy game when its cheap...
 
Yeah, that's what I said I was going to do. In fact, if you'd read the first half of my post you'd know that.

Anyway, they're a company (much like Blizzard) that thrives on having a good rep. This does damage to that rep. They don't treat themselves as the standard cutthroat business (like EA does), instead building a solid reputation and as such we hold them to a higher standard. Their benefit? We buy instead of pirate.

They do continue with TF2 updates even now but there hasn't been anything major in a long while, apart from those movies, of course. They added a new map what a year ago?

So, they will probably continue to tweak and update L4D in the same manner, even after L4D2 comes out. There won't be a constant stream of goodies but there will be updates, and once in awhile, something will be added.

I'm not defending them, I'm just saying what's probably going to happen.

Sniper & Spy updates were not that long ago.

they also released the source codes and design tools for (old) maps.

released the dual cart pushing maps.

been a while yeah, but it's only been 2 months or so i think. interval between previous updates were longer before, so it's normal for it to be quiet now, i think.
 
well since they dropped the price of L4D to 15 bucks on Steam, I have decided to get it, I shall try out crash course if my computer can even run L4D properly (which I have been told it can).
 
Played it today. It's alright. I'm glad they included some achievements with it to make it interesting. I got lost a couple of times though.
 
If I still had time to play L4D and care about video games, I'd be angry as fuck about the sequel.

Also, I didn't know Mega 64 had whored out to IGN, aka the Third Reich.
 
I activated my pre-order key today. Can't wait until release...

Got the game 20€ cheaper than normal, which is great. Else I wouldn't have bought it.
 
Looks like I'm out of this game for awhile. Since a month or two ago the game plays fine for a couple of minutes and then the ping starts rising mercilessly to over 1000. At that point I either time out or regain control of my character only to have it do it again (that is unless I'm voted off while I'm stuck at the high ping somewhere). Don't know WTF, tried everything, nothing works. The game is pretty much unplayable for me at this point. Same thing happens with L4D2 Demo btw.

If anyone had this happen and fixed it, do let me know. If not, then I guess its done.

the L4D community is split, a lot love it, a lot hate it, either way I'm still getting it.

It's because of the new characters (everyone was so attached to the old ones). Though no big loss, it's not like Francis is dead at least (he's indestructible) and Louis still has his peelz.
