Left 4 Dead series is high overrated

Yeah I agree. Hate L4D, even though I got it for free. So repetitive and short. How people would find that game of high value is beyond me.

[QUOTE="Head_of_games"] Mindless my ass. Versus mode is where it's at. My favorite part of the game is playing as the Infected.Head_of_games

while I agree with versus being an awesome game mode. it's a bad overexaggeration regardless.

Halo has fireifight versus which works the same way except non-campaign, the idea isn't capitalized on much in general though. only other game that I can think of that allows you to play as a force slowing the progression of another person through a level is Perfect Dark.

*shrug* it still offers a different experience that most FPS developers aren't going to try anymore. better than doing nothing like Bad Company or COD. or whatever other stripped-down FPS game out on consoles.

fun factor is gigantic for some of us. it's also a game you can't memorize enemy patterns in. pile of zombies might be in one spot one time. the next time it might be a ghost-town.

the fleshed out story is actually very clever, only one cutscene, which is before the start menu, and then you're always wondering what the story could even be, and you only have some of Ellis' hilarious dialogues to go by. game has excellent level design to boot.

It's a $50 mod. It's a FUN $50 mod if you have friends, but it's still a $50 mod.

It's very repetitive, yes, and very low on content in a way, but it is also amazing and very well designed. The problem with the game is the crappy players who have no idea how to play. rolo107

The multiplayer is where the game shines. It was meant to be played online and with friends.

[QUOTE="Arach666"] Btw,have you tried the mp of SC2?:DArach666

Daimond league here for all 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4 :P

they are both really good, just lack content, and between the two games there isn't that much that really seperates them, put them together and you almost got one good game.

if you play it on the harder difficulties with friends the games are great, but they do get old quickly since the levels just become routine. If they added some sort of map editor or giant sandbox for people to get lost in... it might have longer legs.

How bout a little effort...

Since we're talking about Valve. I got to say Half Life is pretty damn overrated too. Why do people say it's one of the most innovative fps games?? When it's just a well made Fps with a good story.bonzibuddyxxx

More opinions stated as facts. Not surprising.

It's good for some quick laughs, not a bad game just overpriced.

*Points fingers, Ocelot style*

Totally agree.

How it beat Resistance 2 for "Best Co-op" is beyond me...

Left 4 Dead is literally the best co-op game created. You NEED to work as a team to win. No "if"s, no "and"s, no "but"s.

I dont concur tc.

i loved the demo of L4D and rushed out to buy the first game at release...

but the appeal ran out real quick.

I desagree. It´s the most successfull coop experience this gen....but graphics could be better!

i never played them,on the other hand you might have a point

It is quite fun and does deserve an 8...

Maybe if you had friends, you'd find it more fun. :roll:

I consider L4D2 to be one of the two greatest MP games of this generation.

(the other one is league of legends)

it isn't that the series is over-rated, it's just that it would be a multiplayer option in another shooter like halo reach and gears 3.

i thought they were pretty solid.

Versus rocks my socks and Mutation gives some sort of replaybility.

I disagree. I'm highly addicted to it.

Once you get some friends to play with, it becomes a delight to play the maps over and over again because there is no telling how things will end up. :P

It is an FPS.
And it did something new.

Have to agree with OP, all of Valve's games are overrated, except Counter-Strike.

I very much agree. Dead Rising is where the zombie killin' is at.

hmm thats weird bec l4d is probably one of the funnyest fps games ive ever played.,, play it on the hardest mode. its makes it way more fun

I disagree. It's a very good coop game.

But neither game felt like it was worth full price though, there are just way too few maps. Considering there is no single player campaign to speak of 5 multiplayer campaigns is just unacceptable.

The games are extremely repetitive....

Running around the same maps, killing dull and non interesting zombies who just throw there hands at you.

Versus matches take a long time and few actually stay for the whole duration.

Game gets old quick.

I think it's the most underrated shooter this gen, easily the most fun FPS around. A game doesn't need to have kazillion different modes and maps to be good, quality > quantity.ManicAce

modes I agree with. Campaign, Versus and the one where you need to hold out for 10 minutes are the best but maps ... you can never have enough.
The games shipped with way too few maps, the AI director keeps things fresh for a while, but not forever. And releasing a campaign with 2 maps as DLC doesn't help much neither in the short lifespan of the game.
