Poll: Are you buying Left 4 Dead?

[runtheplacered]

Just a general poll to see who plans to purchase Left 4 Dead and who doesn't. I'm finding myself in the undecided section right now. It looks like it'd be a really fun game, but at the same time, that fun level may last about a week and that's it.

So, while I decide, I figured I'd see what others plan to do about the game. I do realize there's a Left 4 Dead impressions thread going around (in which I've posted in), but I wanted to see some data.

Also, feel free to let everyone know what aspect of the game made the decision for you.

Totally getting it. Great coop experience for the friends and I do kill some zombies, fun gameplay, item placement is different when you play (So that health, gun, or ammo may not be there when you need it the 2nd time through), and it's just darn fun.

I hope you aren't looking for something deep. This is like a 'Serious Sam' for a new age...with zombies and less over the top weapons and enemies. But still, the principle is the same: Kill everything, get out. Except now you have 3 buddies with you.

Awesome.

P.S. Have you tried the demo? I was undecided until I got it...now it's a 'heck yes' buy for me.

 

[spiritslayr]

Yeah, I've pre-ordered it for 360.
I would have preferred to have got it for PC but my laptop only manages 30FPS on minimum settings on the demo. Maybe if I get a decent desktop computer for Xmas I'll get it off Amazon for PC as well.

I enjoy it, but the idiocy of some people online makes me scratch my head.

Speaking of which, I seem to be the only one actively aiming for the head in the matches I play. Surely it makes sence to shoot the weakest part of the body? Even a tank can be downed quicker with some head-hitting.

As for buying it, probably will be when my money is sorted.

We should get a bunch of people from the Escapist together for some zombie killing! That way you know you'll have good teammates! Ehh? It'll be the Escapist Guild of Grand Zombiside!

OR: EGGZ

Awesome.

How many of these threads do we really need?

How many of these threads do we really need?

I'm pretty sure just this one will suffice.

Sounds like a great idea! I'd be up for something like that. Do you play on PC or 360? Is this game multiplatform?

 

[searanox]

Not sure. I'm not really that big on multiplayer gaming.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Undecided. If a lot of my xbox live friends are, then yes. This is a game to be played with friends, otherwise theres not much appeal.

 

[Neosage]

I put undecided then I saw a trailer DAMN YOU GAMEING HYPE! and no alas I cannot stop thinking about it...so i bough GOW 2 to leave me alive (geddit)

 

[Caliostro]

Best invention since Portal...Which coincidentally is the best invention since sex.


The co-op, the director (which can be a ***** at times), the whole game design... Do want.
