Re: Left 4 Dead 2!!!!!

Anyone else disappointed that this is a new release as opposed to an update to Left4Dead?

I know that I am...

Perhaps I've been spoiled by TF2.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2!!!!!

Dissapointed? Maybe but I mean really, you are getting 5 new campaigns so its pretty much an entire new game. I will be disapointed that I probably wont get my 53,595 kills in time though.

A little, but I knew it was going to happen, and called it months ago.

I don't know, for some reason I just wish expansion packs worked with console games.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2!!!!!

I think you're the first person I've seen who's happy about this. Most everybody is ****ed off.

They promised more stuff for Left 4 Dead, and instead they make a new game. This was poor marketing. They are making fans mad, and they could have milked the first one for a couple of yeas yet.

This was just a bad decision. My brother has the first one, and he's boycotting the new one because he wanted more content.




...But TF2 is still great...

Okay, I lol'd.

But I agree, it had a few years they could have done stuff with it. But no, people are so impatient anymore. Remember when it would take five years for a good game sequel? Man.

Re: Left 4 Dead 2!!!!!

I'm all for L4D 2, I don't mind paying $60 for a new game over $20+ for 1/15th of an old one.

New games equal better design, new characters, and things that might not have been possible on the old one.

Bonus content is cool and all, but now it seems like developers make it all, and then hold it from the release to milk an extra buck out of the product.

Do you know what game I'd pay hard earned cash to get extra content? Shadowrun, I loved the shooter re-make.



Huggable Zombie, KingArthur1976, Utgarsrage, and Scapegeek are all great traders.

I don't have a problem with it being a seperate game. Eventually the four campaigns will get boring so having 5 brand new ones will be really fun. Plus I don't think a lot of this could be captured with an update or a DLC which is probably what it would have been. You couldn't really add melee weapons to the current one because they would be useless, just use the gun. Plus the infected probably would be screwed with new weapons and updates you would have to be really really really good to even do 10 damage to a person.

I agree in a way, because there is a lot that can be done with new games, yes. Trust me, I play games that do that a lot. However, I think it just could have waited. It's barely been 9 months, if that, and it's like they're popping out a baby right after having one--too soon. The game is still gathering recognition as a great game and though game of the year, they could have milked it longer, gained a bigger fanbase over time, and then come out with a new one. To me it makes more sense in a business way, but then, of course, the sooner the new one, the more money they make from people who already bought the first one AND a new crowd, so there is that.

I don't think they could have incorporated the new melee weapons into this system, so that makes sense. That would be a whole new program for the game to learn and that's hard with just DLC. It's been done before but it's glitchy. New campaigns would be good, but there is still a lot to do with the versus and survival they just released, so it feels rushed, too soon to me. That's just my opinion, though. I'll get the new one no matter what, but I just feel it could have waited.
