Left 4 Dead II

[James]

Copy this to the chat later Clix

I have been vocal about my distaste for Left4Dead2, because I feel that the first game was neglected on all counts and we as consumers were not given what was advertised. It isn't about a sense of entitlement, it's about me shelling out my hard-earned money to a con-man who ran with it and gave me something worth less than what I paid for.

So, Valve makes a FABULOUS Halloween event over the weekend, free hats for everyone, everybody is happy, I don't think I encountered anyone who felt negatively about the update. All was well.

SO THEN Valve, you decide to be a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥bags and pretty much punish those of us who choose to withhold buying L4D2 because of our discontent with the treatment of L4D1. Don't say that's not what you're doing Valve. It's exactly what's going on.

You just want to make the people who are boycotting your piece of ♥♥♥♥ game even MORE angry than they already are. You want them to reconsider their anger about the NEGLECT Left4Dead suffered because of you, just for the sake of a hat in-game. And it's not even a really great hat at that (this is not me being poor and irish, excluding all the freebie hats, I do have ONE hat, in all my time of playing).

Not to mention the fact that Team Fortress 2 and your precious Left4Dead franchise are two TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. Trying to connect the two just makes it seem so very disingenuous.

I just don't understand your motives, Valve. You actually had a happy community for the WHOLE weekend. And then you pull something so incredibly stupid like this that sometimes I wonder if you guys do it on purpose for some sick reason.

I am sure that NO ONE at Valve would like to hear incessant whining about their products; I am sure that reading a post like this is the LAST thing you want to be doing. So WHY GOD WHY do you do such MORONIC things and frazzle the community, after you launched quite possibly the greatest update the game has seen in a while?

This weird cycle of FREE HATS FOR EVERYONE and preferential treatment bull♥♥♥♥ needs to stop. We need to start coming to some sort of resolution like a trading syst---oh. Wait. Yeah. We're still waiting on that one. :\

GG, Valve. GG.

Let's see the entire topic.

Not going to make it easy, are you?

[James]

Nope I have to wash my balls.

Oh and in light of Gabe's birthday, the public demo of L4D2 is now out on Steam and Xbox Live, 7 days early

[Mr. Tastix]

I'll check it out but I can't say I disagree with the post (the topic I can't find because chances are, it has been crushed by the "HATS R SO COOL LOLOLOLOLOL" or the "DOOD HATS R GAY UR GAY... FAGGOT!" posts).

[James]

It's mostly halo wearers who complained, no really it is.

[Mr. Tastix]

Complained about not getting hats, getting hats or the idling system (and the punishment that soon followed for idling)?

Played the demo. Better than L4D1 by features (Melee Weapons etc.), but I'd say I prefer the L4D1 mapping style. I just think L4D2 is ridiculously overpriced.

[James]

Um, 20 quid is cheaper. By the way, L4D2 is a lot less linear

I consider 37 euros expensive, for an expansion.
Hm, by less linearity, do you mean there are multiple ways to get to the saferoom or what?

[James]

Of course, play through both levels more than once. Shit changes, sometimes you cant go through the alleyway or the doors.

That door in the bar can lead you through to the resturant's kitchen quicker, but sometimes its barred up so you have to go the alleyway which might have an entrance blocked or both open.

I've spent over £105 on L4D2!

[MrBlackDX]

The demo is good

Having a charger and a tank at the same is fun

For some reason the standard pump action shotguns don't seem to be as impressive, although I really liked the silenced smg.

Good weapons;

Battle Rifle
Combat Shotgun
Silenced SMG
Machete!

[Mr. Tastix]

How big is the demo download?

[Dex]

3,7 GB iIrc.

[Mr. Tastix]

Fuck it.

[Professor Layton]

I consider 37 euros expensive

It only cost me 23 euro what are you talking about

That being said, l4d1 now costs 30 euro for me on steam yeaaaa

James bought L$D2 for you.
L4D1 is 22,99 euros.
L$D2 is 37,99 euros.

[Professor Layton]

He payed it in pounds, fuk da euro

Also because your country has no economy, l4d is cheaper for you.

[James]

Yeah I paid in pounds. It was still cheaper than L4D1 at release.

[Dex]

Ellis is sucha fag, everytime we arrive to the 2nd saferoom, he runs away and blocks our path and then we have to play left 4 drama and kill him : )

[Dae]

Need advice, should I get this game?

[James]

Why not?, it's the second biggest game this year and it turned all controversy around.

[Dex]

Need advice, should I get this game?

I'd get it if it was cheaper, but since your standards are higher, I'd recommend buying it anyway.

[Dae]

Ok I will get it by the Wednesday of the next week. Does anyone want to try the code before me (to see if its region locked)? In case it works, you'll gonna have to pay around 12 euro by PayPal.

[James]

It is region locked. You can only gift it to us but you cannot do that with keys.

[Professor Layton]

only 12 euro in russia? XD yeaaa tier 5 country

[Dae]

I'm pretty sure it is, but I would still want to try it.
