left 4 dead=incredible

Some games i NEED a good story = RPGS

and then some games i just need FUN!!!!!!!!! = Left4Dead

Storys are my favorite parts of videogames and movies, but i dont NEED a fantastic story EVERY game i play. A game like Left4Dead that has amazingly fun gameplay, can be just as fun to me because its coop action with friends and just alot of fun!

[QUOTE="coolmonkeykid"]Left 4 dead will be GOTY, quote me on this.zomglolcats

While I think it should, I'm sure Fallout 3 wil get it. Because of the hype and multiplatform.

QFT!!!

I enjoyed the demo, and I think with a good group of friends, this could potentially be pretty fun. But it's just not worth $50 for what's essentially a highly polished source zombie mod. I'm also pretty surprised at the price tag coming from Valve when you consider all of the content the Orange Box offered for $50. There doesn't seem to be a lot of content in L4D. There aren't many weapons. I also have a feeling this will get old quickly and the majority of people will stop playing in a few weeks. I think most people will play through the campaign once or twice and get bored. And killing zombies is fun, but only for awhile.

When this hits $20 in a few months I'll be all over it, but for now I'll pass.

I'm in the process of doing a speed-run of the first two levels on the demo solo/expert when I get the free time. Work the next three days. Probably the weekend.. Ofcourse this will be on youtube. :P I've done it before and I'd imagine once successful the video will only run ~10 minutes... You can blaze through the first two levels remarkably fast if you run the whole way..

I played the Singleplayer portion of the demo for about an hour and spent about 30mins in coop multiplayer and IMHO I think this game is going to get boring and frustrating very quickly. Here's my reasons:

1. The first 45mins of singleplayer left me with an "OMFG THIS GAME IS AWESOME" attitude, however the last 15mins was when I realized that I have probably just experienced everything that this game has to offer in terms of gameplay, aside from some different locations.

2. I could see how this could be a fun game to play online with friends, however the reality is that you're not always going to be able to play with like minded players, when you're not playing with friends you're more than likely going to be teamed up with douchebags who all have different agendas. Some will want to rush through, others will want to use teamwork but will go crazy at newcomers or people who mess up. Which sucks because you can't just switch to the other side and start owning them, you have to play alongside them for an entire campaign, or keep searching for a game with some different personalities.

3. There isn't any sense of competition and satisfaction in the multiplayer. You don't get the same satisfaction from constantly killing the same AI enemies as you do from killing actual players online, so there is no bragging rights to be had. That being said, you CAN play against other player controlled zombies but it's only 4v4 which is incredibly dissapointing and a serious sign of a game that was designed with consoles in mind.

4. The gameplay isn't designed with player clans in mind.

5. There isn't enough meat to keep the average FPS player hooked for more than a few weeks. Killing AI zombies will get pretty old and repetitive.

I concur.

I didnt like the demo. I have lots of reasons as to why I don't like the game.

Lack of story...I like a decent good story, even if it has to be a soap opera kind.

The sound effects on the guns, don't sound so realistic.

No detailed explanations for the characters? Maybe a few pages of character information and relations?

Why do online players always get in the way? Most of the time I try to shoot a Hunter or other boss infected, a teamate get's in the way. That doesnt happen in single player.

I give the demo a 5.5/10. I only spent about 10 minutes on multiplayer and 30 minutes in singleplayer.

Judging by your ava/sig you don't like it because you like story driven games like MGS4.

Settle Down There. He stated why he doesn't like the game, you don't have to attack him. And this game is not getting a 10/10 here, but I'm glad to see you're so enthusiastic about the game.

Personally, the only thing I didn't like about the demo was the length of the first map. I hope the levels in the full game are longer.

I don't understand why people are bemoaning the graphics so much. Didn't you notice how two dozen zombies fill the screen instantly, limbs being chopped off, cool death animations, flashlights crossing everywhere....and no FPS slowdown? Okay, it's not Crysis, but in Crysis you move slowly through the jungle, and the added textures are needed to create the sense of immesion. In L4D, it's clearly the cool moving zombie hordes that steal the show. Complaining that you can't knock down every box is rediculous.  

I also don't understand people saying "I'll stick with TF2, screw L4D". I love TF2 as much as the next person, and will be playing it for years (until the next RTCW/Enemy territory with no vehicle spam), but I'll probably pick up L4D since it's a different experience than TF2. If it's not L4D for you, I'm sure there's some other game that you need to keep things interesting. Even I get sick of Uber rushes once in a while...

Some things I am hopeing to see L4D retail version.. A) More variety in weapons, the weapons are nice.. But its a bit annoying when 4 of the 5 main weapons are just more powerful versions.. I am hopeing they add half a dozen more unique weapons, along with a different variety of pistols.. I would kill if there were a Desert Eagle, or maybe a 3 shot at a time pistol.. B) Add achievement unlockable items/weapons.. LEts face it many pc gamers think Achievements are stupid as hell except when they add a REAL prize to be earn instead of a virtual pat on the back.. C) Another person had a good point, make it alittle less linear.. Not talkinga bout Crysis, but in some areas I am hopeing there would be 2 to 3 unique paths we could take.

D) ADD a zombie survival mode.. Pretty much make 2 to 3 maps of last stand scenerios, say a house, a army bunker etc etc.. Stock those with a limited amount of health and ammunition.. Have the players start in there, there they have to fend off endless waves of zombies.. Make a count down, like every 30 seconds to 1 minute where a zombie rush proceeds, gradually getting harder and harder including bosses basing on some forumla, each round you survive you get a score.. The odbject is to get a good score.. Furthermore you could make it stratigic by having the players able to move obstacles, such as barbwires, barricades, and landmines (if its a army bunker) or any other such objects.. Before the match begins, give the players like 5 minute prepare time so they can stratigically place these objects that can fundamentally change how the players will approach it.. Odviously the zombies will come from all sides, though the director can make decisions on which sides they should come from, that way it would keep the players on their toes.. This in my opinion will be amazing.

E) Add more player models or costume variants, though this really isn't neccesary though would be nice.

F) Add some kind of a survival mode, less zombies, extremely limited ammunition, and zomibes to extreme damage, odviously You have to stratigically move and use your ammunition wisely when absolutely neccesary.

That's a shame. You'll never get to experience the great game this is going to be. Schade, schade indeed... 

Well, that new demo patch has just killed the game for quite a few people. I'm getting random disconnects the entire time and I tried playing a game with my friends, we just had a massive lagfest before everyone gets ejected from the lobby.The_Capitalist

Valve will fix the problem man, there was problems ther first few days of the demo coming out, but valve had 3-4 updates and fixed it. Now im sure they will already be working on fixing whats been going on today with the servers.

I highly doubt when the game comes out that there will be server problems.

Zoey is great. If it wasn't for Zoey, I probably wouldn't like this game as much as I do now. :PElann2008

Well then.. I guess the two of us can never play a match :P

 Zoey is the only Character I play, One - Shes down right Kickass, and Two - Shes the shortest out of the four, And for some weird reason I always Get stuck in places with the others I wouldn't normally get stuck in as Zoey.:lol:

And what the hell is with all these Damned Ads?  I had to refresh this window like 5 times just to post this because the ad pops over the Submit button and closing the ad doesn't make it go away...:x

If someone really wants to play Zoey in the same match as me I'll let them....    But they gotta Fight me First. :lol: J/k!:P

I'm not really picky in games but one thing I do Like is how lower the Charator can get to the Ground and seeing as we cant lay down in L4D Zoey is the Best one for my Playstyle, I'm in Prone more then anything in the Matches. lol

wow i never expected this game to turn out like this. way to go underhyped games!!!footballa27

Left 4 dead is far from being underhyped my friend, I played through the demo five times at least and I was blown away with what I played of the game, it made me a believer the hard way, I will be picking the game up next week when it comes out.
