Left 4 Dead

[Maniacal]

I only really play it when I feel like shooting puny zombie mortals inthe face with the hotgun, repeatedly, or even better if people on my friends list are playing. I've got like 5 games I'm switching around playing right now, not enough time gah!

 

[Heretic_Cata]

It's not really meant to be scary, it's pretty much an action game.

It's fun, but terribly repetitive. I've not touched it since the week it came out, mostly gone back to playing TF2.

I finished the first act(or whatever it is) and unless the next acts have 5-10 new monsters per act i won't bother trying them. So ?

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I like it for having a quick blast, similar to CS or DoD. Playing it with groups of friends is great fun at all times.

Heretic, join the Steam Group? Would be fun to have a game sometime.

There might be a problem with that.

Let's just say that i can't play multi on steam.

Left 4 Dead is by far the most fun when played with friends. Getting into a game with N3tshark is incredibly fun.

A stranger gifted it to me, reaffirming my faith in humanity.

It's fun. The microphone banter is like half of the game. Especially with friends, or when you loosen up with strangers. I don't know, I like being overdramatic.

"Oh God, it's a hunter, get it off me, get it off me!"

My advice is to play the campaigns on expert. Forget "normal", it's ridiculously easy. That also lengthens the time you get to spend playing the game! Yay!

But yeah, expert mode is like a movie. We had some pretty epic moments.

 

[Izipo]

Hmm, that's cool.

Philippe, Kan, you and me should try to set up a game soon. (or anyone else willing).

Saturday evening would be good for me, what about you guys ?

 

[philippe]

why is everyone in the assumption, i have the game.

 

[Izipo]

Didn't we play together ?

Unless it was the demo, right ?

 

[philippe]

it was the demo. if there would be some random stranger giving me left4dead, i'd happily join (lucky lucky lucky lightfang)

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I probably won't be free Saturday evening, just Friday through the day then Sunday/Monday evenings.

That said, I am playing it quite a bit with a friend I bought the game for (sorry Philippe ) and we're normally in friend-only games set up by myself. If you or anyone else here see me feel free to join, or simply give me a buzz if I'm on Steam and not playing anything

 

[Captain2]

hooray, I was given Left 4 Dead

If theres a planned game feel free to let me know

Saturday evening (are we in the same timezone) is probably good.

But seriously, just give me a buzz and I'll probably do it. You all have my contact information, and I'm always on AIM/MSN and usually on Steam.

 

[Maniacal]

I have all day Saturday off so anytime should be good (afaik).

 

[Esckey]

I bought the game for myself just today, must say its fun(but repetive) just on single player. I'm up for any kind of game at anytime.

Why would you ever play single player on Left 4 Dead, when it's so clearly a cooperative game?

 

[Maniacal]

Because it's best to get some basics down in singleplayer before stumbling into multiplayer and mingebagging everyone.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

^Correct answer

I like to make sure I have the basics down by playing singleplayer. Chances are I would have been jumping on alarmed cars, shooting at witches on sight and not knowing how to heal folk if I had jumped straight in.

 

[Drakan]

It's a great game. Talk about a sleeper. Gamespot has given it the Best Shooter 2008 award. Well worth a try, specially if you are playing as the zombies, heh heh!

That's why you

1. watched the introduction movie
2. have the helpful pop-up text
3. have friends who won't kill you for being dumb and will in fact even give you pointers.
