Get off your PS3 and play the original in versus mode, I mean REALLY play it! Learn the team work of the, “infected”. I highly doubt you have actually played the original game to the extent and complexity of which it was meant to played.

You stated only more, “bells and whistles”…. Really? You played the, “demo” which in my opinion has a very limited bit of events and gameplay experience. As a result you boast only your ingnorance. As a dedicated gamer of the original title, I am confident the, “demo’ and it’s simplicity is only the tip of the ice when it come to the actual depth of L4D2.

I bought the original just over a year ago, and until I played the game on-line in versus mode I had the same, one-sided opinion. If there is one thing Valve is missing the mark on, it is a tutorial to learn the versus mode.

You may be right, Psychopomp- normally I think that’s the case- but I think usually commercial interests protect their logos. Not sure if a police department or a city would try to do so regarding a reference in a videogame. It doesn’t really matter all that much- They did a really good job on the balcony railing props- but the signs are seriously fail. When I saw ‘fresh crab’ I lol’d. Fresh seafood would have been more appropriate to the theme. The river should have been more dominant though- and there’s no dock like that around here- They did a great job on the horse statue in the park plaza- none of the layout was even close, but I’m sure if they tried to be more realistic in physical terms it would have diminished gameplay severely.

I hope they announce L4D3 the day after the game releases.

“who would want to play this when you have borderlands to fill your co-op needs. Any hectic madness in this is totally outclassed by any hectic madness in borderlands. Best part is the guns are actually meaty and fun.”

Well, me for one. Also, the guns in L4D2 feel *really* good especially the magnum.

My favorite gun by far

As far as the logos go, I believe you have to pay licensing fees for that kinda stuff.

I think.

I hate the lobby system in both L4D & L4D2- Being from New Orleans was delighted with the theme from ‘The Parish’ – but they really missed the mark. The supposed ‘cajun accent’ of the boat captain is as Fail as most movies- they really should have paid someone from Louisiana to read that short script.
Don’t understand why they changed N.O.P.D. to police and dropped the logo from the barricades- the real ones are much more attractive. I cannot disable multicore rendering, and the intro movie lags so badly the audio can’t be understood because of it. hell, even the Valve intro lags because of it- I will definitely NOT pay for a game that seems to not be able to run on my system correctly despite the supposed option to configure it. Three cheers for content, four thumbs down for execution. Also don’t get why they didn’t schedule the release for Oct 31′st rather than Nov 17th. Bad Valve, no cookie.

@Dave: “Being liberal about things” isn’t about not voicing your opinions. It’s about accepting that other people have optinions too and not getting your panties all in a twist when you notice they like voicing it.

I feel like I should tell someone to shut up as a comical counterpoint to my argument, but I shall resist the temptation.

You’re so right. Entertainment is not really subjective, and only clever folks like you have observed the objective inferiority here. Also, $20 indie games are clearly inferior to EA’s $60 games, but the silly journalist conspiracy has convinced people they “like” these games.
