Title: L4D 2 topic where?
Post by: ♛ Apher-Forte on December 20, 2009, 08:59:29 AM
Left 4 Dead 2 is out.

comments thoughts after play?

There are a bunch of 'fans' who claim this game is not as fun as the previous L4D.

well, I say screw them, this makes about the best FPS I ever played, and you can disagree, you are wrong.  :V

They all tell HORRIBLE LIES. Though it sounds like you know that already.

L4D2 is kinda funny to me because I live in the south and know people who are like that.

Talk like that too.

During the Atrium finale, we had all 13 gas tanks gathered up and my teammate shot one of them by accident, causing a fire to incap us all in less than 3 seconds.  Other than that, I have had no gripes yet.

Oh yeah, the frying pan is probably the best melee weapon in existence.  Nothing beats stunning a tank with an explosive and having all four survivors smack the crap out of it and killing it in a couple seconds.

Even though i have L4D1, I never played it all that much. I really should give L4D2 a try though

Fun, yes. Worth a full release when you count the new stuff? ...Depends how much you paid for it, pre-orders were alright but full price payers are getting ripped off. The game will eventually turn out like the previous one and turn boring. There's team-based games and there's games where you're forced to sit with each other with no chance of any freedom whatsoever because a special infected grabs you. The DLC will add minor replayability for roughly... 2 hours if the last DLC is anything to go by and then people will drift back to other games.

L4D2 is a great game for taking breaks from other games.  I don't expect anyone to play it constantly with stop.  Playing once in a while to strengthen the bonds between friends (or weaken depending on the mode) seems pretty fun to me.  I bought the game with the 4-pack option, which is a lot cheaper when you have friends that are willing to split the costs.

Holy shit the Carnival/concert stage is fucking hard.

though not as hard as Dead Center, the fact you are in an open field and there will be 2 tanks towards the end makes it impossible to do hurdle jump without getting caught.

That and Chargers are a headache.
Title: Re: L4D 2 topic where?
Post by: Cadmas on December 24, 2009, 08:10:59 PM
Chargers seem kind of over powered to me. They have 600 hp and hit like a muther.
They seem to hurt more with their normal attack rather than the pin thing b/c you can't shove him.

Think how much worse they were when they could get you stuck (was a bug that's been fixed). :V Once my team had to kill me so I could respawn in somewhere else later.

NAH JOKE.

Except it is easy to dodge them, I personally shotgun after sideways, gets them every time.
The one where they were at a factory and there were 10 witches in the area was most fun. I love disturbing the bitches.

I sort of know what you mean, when it comes to the charger's left-click melee attack (as in, not charging) they seem to deal massive damage, taking you down in like 3-5 hits on advanced. Of course, I may be just being stupid, but I actually got incapped by a charger I didn't know was there (cuz they only scream when they charge).

You are actually, all that huffing and puffing and you couldn't tell it was there?

plus, you can easily sidestep it.

cute. but not the best. I like Ellis, cause like Nick says, he is a kid with guns.
lots of them.

but Nick says "TITS" when he hurt so yeah.

That nightstick is unbelievably godly.  Tonfas FTW!
Title: Re: L4D 2 topic where?
Post by: ♛ Apher-Forte on January 04, 2010, 06:30:06 PM
the Tonfa is hax, and by far stupid because really, what the fuck is that damage?!

the chainsaw wat 8 secs vs that nightstick?!
Who did they think Ellis, Rochelle Nick and Coach are? Bruce Motherfucking Lee?!

anyway, for that said, I use the chainsaw whenever I find it, despite its limited life, hardly anything comes close

the only problem still that clings to my head is this: despite able to wield double pistols, you can't wield double melee weapons.

why? Most people would arm if possible, double bats, or perhaps double knives for good measure of defense, only game I know that can do this: 0

Because the melee weapons are two-handed?  I'd say the reason the melee weapons are so strong is because they are swinging them around with both hands.  Only the machete, nightstick, crowbar, and axe can I see someone wielding two.  Any others would either logically severely decrease the damage done (frying pan, katana, both bats), or are too heavy for effective, constant usage (guitar, chainsaw)

needs smaller chainsaw so one player can pull a Tallahassee (watch Zombieland which is basically L4D = The Movie)

Swamp Fever is my 2nd Favourite next to the carnival, The Plantation Finale is the best finale in the game.
Isn't it fun killing every witch in the game?

Been kind of wondering about this. Is L4D2 that much better than the original that it's worth getting, or is it as short as the first game? :x
Title: Re: L4D 2 topic where?
Post by: Shizumarashi Mayuzumi on February 01, 2010, 05:45:05 PM

Yes,

Is L4D2 that much better than the original that it's worth getting

yet still yes. Though maybe I'd wait for at least a sale - I got a decent price originally because I bought with friends.

Also, you all are full of crap, Hard Rain is the awesomest campaign in L4D2. :V
Title: Re: L4D 2 topic where?
Post by: Demonbman on February 01, 2010, 05:45:14 PM
I think its better than the original because there are more zombies, more weapons, and more special infected.  It actually is quite a bit longer than the first
Title: Re: L4D 2 topic where?
Post by: orinrin on February 01, 2010, 09:12:13 PM
More is better.   :V The game is surprisingly balanced with all the new stuff they added in.  I would recommend this game if you liked the first one.

especially with THE CENTER served on HARD.
the number of run around, getting tanked, charged, constricted is so high as you run up the stairs with zombies constantly behind you to get fuel is TRUE SUSPENSE.

something l4D itself will never have.

L4D is easy, formulative, while where crawling is concerned, L4D2 significantly places you very far away from your target and these missions are hard core hard if it is meant to be. The number of extra special infected means age old theories of hide in a narrow corridor doesn't work (Spitter) and if you plan to solo you have Jockeys, Chargers are like small Tanks, and easily much worse because of their single hand damage.

It is a new playing field, and if you are not impressed with the first one you are unlikely to enjoy the second one.

I am just waiting for the Miku Hatsune mod for now.
(the one for the Witch, the Taiwanese version makes her growl, and then yell Onii-channnnn when she is chasing you (even if you play Rochelle))

Protip, sometimes zombies and special infected can slash through the safe room door (Also known as lolclipping.), effectively incapping you and preventing that awesome, no-restart, realism, expert campaign match you had always dreamed of.

see that is why you simply do not disturb the witch behind a safe door.
