Poll: Would you buy Left 4 Dead 3?

[Juggern4ut20]

I research purchases...so if the quality is there(pretty much guaranteed considering the dev), most definitly.

That's funny, because when L4D was first released the quality + quantity vs price was horrible. You had to pay 60$ for what was basically a glorified mod. I did buy and play the first one a lot, but looking at it again, it was incomplete. The low number of levels and the limited number of weapons and zombies was kinda insulting considering it doesn't take a genius to say "we should put melee weapons in". Of course, the second one had everything the first one was missing, but they forced you to pay another 60$ for it.

At that point, most of my friends had moved on and grown tired of the repetitive levels despite the claim that the AI director made them repayable, which is a bunch of bs. So i probably wouldn't buy a third installment.

When it comes to multiplayer, it's most certainly a question of quality, not quantity. L4D didn't have much content, but it had solid mechanics that allowed for engaging competition...which is why people still play counter-strike all these years later, despite it not having much of anything.

The hours I put it into L4D justify the price of entry, it was more than a mod, it was a well made proof-of-concept.

I agree about the solid mechanics and addictive game play, but when it first came out, there was only TWO maps you can play on multi-player. That is a joke. It took like four or five monthes before they updated so that all four maps could be played in versus mode. I'd say that's BS and should have been done on launch. That is why i call it a mod when it was released.

With how quickly they released the second game after the first, I've lost some respect for Valve. However, I would play it if it goes on sale.

would only ever consider it if at least 3 of my pc gaming friends would also get it, i don't particularly find it fun playing with strangers (other than versus mode, but i still have my friends on my team).

Personally I like the CoD zombie modes better than left 4 dead. They are actually fun and crazy challenging plus they have tons of sweet weapons. L4d just seems meh with its limited arsenal, numerous bugs, and just plain lack of fun (to me at least). So no I wouldn't buy a 3rd L4d unless they mix things up and actually put a full game worth of content in it.

Nope. Of course not.

I don't like the controls on the game, so no. It doesn't play well on the X-box.

If it released on PS3, maybe

Considering Left 4 Dead 2 is one of my favourite games of all time, hells to the yes!

Got L4D2 for Christmas, managed to rack up 6,500 Infected kills in about 5 days. One morning, woke up at 9am, put it on, went on Scavenge and Campaign, looked at my watch and it was 4pm. 7 hours and I didn't notice it go by. THAT is immersion for you. So engrossed by the game, time just flies. Plus the fact that for weeks afterwards I kept on imagining Tanks, Hunters and Smokers in different hidey holes on my route to college, and my purchase of a Left 4 Dead 2 hoodie, I think I was a bit obsessed.

Left 4 Dead 3, if it can make me do this kind of thing again, is a day 1 purchase.
