L4D 2 demo... what do people think?

[DemonI81]

One word: Garbage

 

[Mad World]

I enjoyed the demo very much. However, I did notice that when you look down, you're unable to see your torso, legs and feet. Now, I know this isn't really a huge thing, but the original Left 4 Dead had it, so I think the second game definitely should, too.

Hopefully, it's just this way because it's the demo.

Hopefully they wont make a L4D3, if they are going to, in a year like they did with L4D2

I couldn't agree any more.

 

[woodsymoments]

my only problem was that the demo was lagging on 360

I'll let you know (by way of a edit) if I ever get on there to try it, server is constantly maxed out!

EDIT: Monitor doesn't display the resolution, can't play it, can't window it without going into options, oh well.

They are going to fix it up nice and sparkly for the butthurt fanboys.

Console port.
The weapons are the size of the whole screen.

I found this really irritating, first thing I saw was the HUGE menu text.

Oh boo hoo, its not "pretty enough." Its a game about shooting the shit out of zombies! its not supposed to be pretty!

Sometimes I long to live in a world with no shades of grey. It seems so much simpler.

felt like a huge update from the first one, but I didn't feel the first one held up for very long, so l4d2 is either just gonna be a rental or game i get at budget price

The original demo for L4D also lacked the ability to see your legs. It was later added into the official game with a patch.

Oh. I didn't know that. That's good to know.

Thanks!

I was disappointed with how unbalanced melee weapons were. Some were very good, but the frying pan is too slow and when I try swinging a police baton, the zombies just sidestep me and hit me from the side.

Also new infected bosses seem to be alternative versions of the old ones.
Jackle=Hunter as a pervert.
Spitter=Boomer if it was bulimic.
Charger=Inbred Tank.

Also does anyone else notice the increase in friendly fire? But hey this is just a demo.

I have to agree with you on this point as well.

I went into thinking it would be the same experience as Left 4 Dead, save with different characters, and a new infected or two.

I was really pleasently surprised.

 

[Sanguinius- The Angel]

I loved it. The graphics actually had an improvement, even though it had the same engine. Well, it seemed a lot better, anyway. Weapons, terrain, zombies.. They all looked more... Real? I espescially loved when I shot one of the infected in the groin area with my Magnum. The area blew off, spurted blood, and he pelvic thrusted to death. It was fantastic.

Needless to say I LOVED the demo, and can't wait to throw my money at Valve for this beauty.

The game looks like shit.

The buildings and character models are horrible, angular last gen atrocities that would look more at home in GTA San Andreas than on a 2009 mainstream release.

Really? I couldn't tell, all the characters and special infected were invisible for whatever reason. I would get punched across the map by an invisible Tank, pummeled by an invisible charger, or walk blindly around a corner to fight an invisible Hunter hiding in some super-obscure place I would never think of looking.

As far as I can tell, I'm the only person with this glitch, so....

Interesting.

Another thing that got a little annoying was this:

'Reloading! Reloading here! Reloading! Reloading!'

 

[Sacman]

it didn't leave the same impact as the first games demo...

I just downloaded it and it's great, played it through and the melee weapons work great. My favourite is the machete.

I used the machete more than the guns! So satisfying to slice through a horde of zombies. I've never played the first game, but the demo was fun. I only played it on the single player (I didn't want to feel like a complete noob in MP) and I found the graphics to be very nice. I only have an 8500GT OC and I was able to turn of the graphics.

There was so much gore, and I don't think I've ever had so much fun with a shotgun. Assplody zombies!
