So,L4D2.

[Tucker154]

I would like to know people's thoughts on Left 4 Dead 2.Mainly, is it worth the full $60 price, or should it have been a game add-on for L4D 1.

Personly, I think its alot better than the first L4D so it is worth the $60

 

[HardRockSamurai]

To be honest, I want a little more out of a game I spend $60.00 on. I'll wait for a price drop, but that doesn't mean I don't want to play it.

 

[CD repo man]

$33.75 for pre-order 4 pack...yay.

But, i digress. I believe it's worth it. The stuff they've added (Scavenge, melee weapons, etc.) i think warrants a whole new sequel.

 

[Boxinatorizore]

I would freaking pay the full price ($50 on PC, yay steam!) for the demo... so yes it is worth it.

Ussually I'd tell people to stop complaining but yeah, this doesnt seem like a 60 dollar game. It should go down fairly quickly. But hey, demo was good, and as long as it improves slightly from the last game it should be good.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

I am not at all unhappy to have paid the $45 for the pre-order. And I'm pretty stingy.

 

[Manhattan2112]

The thing is, I absolutely loved L4D, and L4D2 actually looks better. It also looks like I can relate to the characters a little better (I mean, when it comes down to it, who the hell WOULDN'T want to be Coach?! I'm not even black, and he's the most appealing character ever thought up!) I would definitely buy it, despite it's criticisms.

I'm glad you didn't buy MW2.

BTW, L4D2 was only $45 preorder...

Pshht... $60? I got it for $45. But I feel that if EA weren't involved, then it probably would be DLC for L4D, although the game is definitely worth $60. I hate publishers.

New weapons, three new special infected, four new survivors, 5 new campaigns, 2 new game modes(with maps for all...) is hardly free DLC.



L4D2 is very fun. A lot more fun than L4D1, and a lot more polished. My only gripe is BOT ai, but that's not much of an issue as it's a multiplayer game.

 

[Ham Blitz]

i would say I thought it would be almost exactly like the first one, and even then I wanted it. Now I am extremely surprised, and in my opinion, definitely worth $60

 

[ButanicXpandA]

The gay assed Australian censored version is most definetly not worth it, no blood, no lacerations, disappearing bodies etc.

 

[Deleted]

Its fun. That's all I have to say.

/Proceeds to disagree with entire thread. I thought it was a massive letdown. L4D 1 is vastly superior in every conceivable way. They took an excellent game that was brilliant in its simplicity and added bells and whistles and by bells and whistles I mean Fail and Aids.

This is one of the least support claims I've ever seen.

It's harder to design maps for L4D than TF2. In my opinion at least.

Just because TF2 has gotten amazing DLC doesn't mean every game should be set to it's standards.

L4D2 is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GAME THAN L4D2.

 

[ObsessiveSketch]

yeah, cuz TF2 has a story, interactive maps, ridiculous textures, amazing voice acting, and the AI director.

I've grown up with the old-school games, so DLC to me is basically the nicest thing I've ever seen a gaming company do...ever. They're basically giving out free handouts because...? Because they think WE WOULD ENJOY THEM. It's the biggest birthday gift in the world, with no strings attached!

So when people start complaining about NOT getting DLC?...the game's still perfectly good. That's why people bought it. Louis, Zoey, Bill, and Francis are still being played, and more freebies will be out for them. Is it so wrong for Valve to want to try something that is new/differet enough to warrant a new project? They put in the hard work, then you complain about not getting it for free.

Welcome to the real world. I mean, come ON.
