Left for Dead 2 is on sale on Steam for $6.79. I want to get it, but it seems like an extremely dull and simple shooter that lacks a story. Is this how the game really is, or does it have more substance?

Sorry, guys. I was actually talking about Left for Dead 2. I fixed the OP and the title. How are the graphics? Also, I enjoyed playing Resided Evil 5. So, does that mean that I'll enjoy this game?

It's more than worth it. Obviously multiplayer is where it's at, but a little more than a buck per campaign is a great deal considering how fantastic the levels are designed. And even by yourself they're worth a few playthroughs each.

There's one thing that I must say. PC Gaming is so damn cheap (once you've already built the PC). I mean, you'd never see games that are this recent being sold for prices as little as $6.00 on console. Man, it's absolutely amazing. With Steam, you can be guaranteed that a game will eventually go on Sale.

If you like Zombies, then yes. The gameplay is fun, although you might find the official content a bit short. There are community mod maps but imho, they're janky compared to the official Valve campaign maps. I always find myself playing L4D games when I'm bored. It's a good game to get your mind off of stuff and just have "fun."

I don't have episodes from Liberty City, either. Damn. Now, I'm tempted to get this. How long are the episodes? Are they as long as a full game?

Pretty much. Around 6 hours or more depending on how you play of course. It's like two standalone games in one pack. Awesome deal.

I would get episodes from liberty city and then even if the sale goes of L4D 2 wasnt that much more expensive anyway.

It's TERRIBLE solo. Thankfully, there's plenty of matchmaking you can join with other players.

I've already ordered Left for Dead 2. On another note, I already have Grand Theft Auto IV, which I got from Steam. How would buying the game work out? Will I have to download the entire game again (plus the episodes)? Or will I be able to download the episodes by themselves?

Get it - there's stacks of content in it, endlessly replayable. The game play is not that simple. Its one of the best pure co-op games. There's something resembling a narrative but it is a MP game primarily. Still has some of the best characters.

There is actually a lot more content in L4D2, I think around 6-7 campaigns and also the No Mercy campaign remade for L4D2.

Obviously, Left 4 Dead 2 can never get old because of the Mutation mode. (Every week something changes in the game, for example more special infected)

Although I dont understand why does episodes from liberty city cost 15$ when both GTA IV and EFLC cost 10$, and eflc is a standalone game you dont need GTA IV installed so I think you could just install that 8)

I wasn't quite as blown away by it as I was by the first game, but it's still incredibly fun and well worth $6.
