When I first heard of Valve's concept of L4D back in 2007, it sounded like it could be the greatest refreshing gameplay experience in recent memory by having intense survival-horror coop play spanning vastly large unique maps with an A.I director that gives you a new experience everytime you play. I read several interviews in the year leading up to release with Valve going into great detail about Versus mode with teams of human controlled boss infected and survivors going against each other..... which got me incredibly hyped up beyond belief. Then it came out in 2008 and was an incredibly enjoyable game I played for a full year.... but it left much to be desired and fell short of the initial "vision" Valve described the gameplay experience to be. Now its obviously 2009, and L4D2 is that incredible gameplay experience that Valve promised to make several years ago when they first created the concept of this series. I pretty much consider the original L4D as a beta version to get feedback from gamers... and L4D2 is the finished product
YEP...I have played the demo now about 50hrs..lol..Just like I did with the 1st game demo. Im actually giving my kids my 360 for a xmas gift.."kind of a regifting thing" and im buying l4d2 for them...ME...them...methem..;)...Im switching over to PS3 and with it was coming out for it. :(
lready got it..for those of you who are doubting its worth it trust me...scavenge is real fun and the campaigns are hella long. plus new special infected?? come on now
probably not..ive played the demo...didnt appeal to me really at all. I dont really care for shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot, and shoot some more with zombies...i like a game like mw2 where the graphics and gameplay are infinitely better and the feel of the game is way better plus theres strategy to it...besides campers ofcourse lol
I'm actually enjoying L4D2 A LOT more than I thought I would. I wasn't a huge fan of L4D, but I thought I would give L4D2 a shot, and I'm glad I did. It's VERY addictive!
yeah, eventually. honestly, there arent any must-have games coming out soon (all got pushed back thanks to the awful hype-machine of mw2). all i really want to do is get 1000/1000 achievement points for my older games so im perfectly happy doing that. should have mass effect done in a week or two, then bioshock. hopefully, i can get those done before christmas
Who wouldn't accept a free game? hahaha apparently THAT guy. he either has incredibly high moral values or is Richie Rich If I hated the game I'd still accept it so I could sell it. I wish I had enough money to reject stuff like that.
I might get the game when it's $40 or less. But then again there's so many great games coming in the next few months, so I'm not holding my breath for a price drop.

How long are they? I bought the first one and wished I rented it instead because it was so short; my concern over the length of the second one is keeping me from even trying it right now. Multiplayer's fun, but it gets frustrating with strangers if you play more than an hour at a time.
