Author Topic: Who here is going to buy L4D2?  (Read 5681 times)

I don't even want another one, the first one was bad enough..
I guess the worst thing about the first one was the storyline. The fact that it didn't exist!!!

Point A, Point B
There are zombies
Just get through them

Why are there zombies?
What caused the "infection"?
What did the virus come from?!

There's nothing wrong with the first game, go away.

Sorry, but he's entitled to his opinion as much as you are.

My point is that it's a co-op survival game and the lack of a story doesn't ruin the game completely.

Much better wording. Thank you.

...what?

Light is controlled by the director. No one has complained about that, forget off.

Its not a different game, its the same stuff with different characters and campaigns.

People have indeed complained about the fact that the game can take place in daylight, which 'ruins the mood'.

You don't know that it's the same as the first game. Valve doesn't do that. They haven't even went into full detail about the new content.

Stop getting pissy.

I don't support Valve's decision to make Left 4 Dead 2 this early considering Left 4 Dead lacks the content necessary to consider it a complete game, but I don't support the angry whining friends who are trying to boycott the game because I guarentee you that whenever one of them gets pissy and tries to form an argument, it will consist of one or more of the following points:

  • Left 4 Dead 2 is basically the same as Left 4 Dead!
  • Left 4 Dead 2 will destroy the Left 4 Dead community!
  • Left 4 Dead 2 is better as a DLC!
  • Left 4 Dead 2 has stupid looking characters!
  • Daylight ruins the atmosphere!
  • Valve should make Episode Three!

Left 4 Dead 2 is basically the same as Left 4 Dead!
You don't know what Valve is doing

Left 4 Dead 2 will destroy the Left 4 Dead community!
Okay, what?

Left 4 Dead 2 is better as a DLC!
No, I want a new game with totally new features

Left 4 Dead 2 has stupid looking characters!
okay, granted...

Daylight ruins the atmosphere!
Again, you don't know what valve is doing

Valve should make Episode Three!
I think they are, but it makes more sense to make L4D2.

He said that's what the people who are boycotting would say.

Not that those are his words and he firmly believes in them.

okay I didn't full read his post, just those points.

Then my previous post was directed at the "whiny cigaretteots" who use those arguments.

On the subject of community, I do believe that it will be split to a certain extent, but not to the point that it would really matter too much.

The community doesn't matter because L4D is only fun played with friends anyway. I'm not concerned about that.


I will not buy L4D2 unless they get their stuff straight and release it as a pay-to-download expansion off steam. I mean come on, we should actually be getting this stuff for free.
(See http://www.videogamer.com/news/valve_details_post_left_4_dead_launch_plans.html)
That being said, I think it's too much content to be released as a free update, but not enough to be released as a retail game.

But whatever. I won't be buying it as a standalone game for the reason that VALVe broke their promise to us. If you feel the same way, join this steam group.

EDIT: I'm not trying to impose this on anyone, I just want to make sure that anyone who is interested knows it exists. I don't condemn buying the game or any of that national socialist stuff, I'm just expressing my opinion. Leave it at that.
You're right

This is ValvE south making the game, you should be mad at South.
