It's not WoW, so...zzzzzzzzzz
I'll be checking it out.. not sure If I'll get it tonight or not.
I'm still working on Fallout 3. I started doing more 'exploring' so it slowed me down a bit. I'm now at the Brotherhood Citadel or whatever it's called after they killed 'Dad'. ;)
I'll definitely pick this up soon. Too wrapped up in Fallout 3 right now, but probably after Thanksgiving.
4-Player Coop sounds like a blast, but at least you can use AI if you don't have 4 'humans'.
From a interview I saw players can wait in queues to play bosses. How awesome is that? You get the chance to be a bad guy and take on four other players. Imagine if WoW had that... it would be hard to gauge how easy or tough a boss would be... it all depends on another players ability to be the boss during that particular fight.
Kelly picked it up for me today. It is currently wrapped up and under the Christmas tree........ *sigh*
Looks cool. I'll have to pick it up once I slow down on Fallout.
I played L4D with my son Joe tonight. What a blast! Must buy for anyone who likes the zombie genre and a fast action, team based FPS. Need more AK to pick this up!
"The game's deep well of replayability clinches Left 4 Dead's spot on the list of best multiplayer games of the year. It's arguably one of the best multiplayer games of all time. I'm longing to end writing this review and play some more. The game is as pretty as it is playable. Well, it's pretty in its ugliness, with dirty, dark visual effects and gorgeous, understated design. "

ya... will probably pick this one up.
Xbox360?
Are they still making those XBox toys? I figured the Pentium III technology in them would be tapped out by now. :D
Okay, admittedly they have a PowerPC of some sort in them ... but the flashing Red Circle of Doom is common enough that I'm not going to buy one. For a Valve game, PC is the best anyway.
I played the demo for this several nights last week and has a blast. I'll be picking this one up come pay-day...............
4 player co-op zombie slaying ???? Nuff said !
I'm reasonably certain I'll get it in a day or two.
As a side note, is the marketing blitz everywhere or just here in Seattle? For years, Valve was located about eight blocks down the street from my house. (They might've moved across Lake Washington now.)
Anyway, it seems like every other billboard in town has L4D on it. I even saw a L4D billboard truck driving around town a couple days ago and some girls were handing out flyers in Pike Place Market last weekend.
Could it be that those guys are just pumping up their ego by plastering L4D stuff all over town?
Although I haven't seen billboards and such, I have seen commercials on Discovery and Spike for L4D.
I think I'll get this. The coop play is really intriguing.
And a blast if I must say so. Its limited to 4 guys (or gals) but its the most fun I've had in awile.
If your picking up L4D you might want to check out the Valve package. Its $99 and has every game valve has ever produced. Quite a steal if you like their games. I picked it up today. for $40 more than L4D I get it and 25 more games as well.
They have a huge billboard at the 80/101 merge in San Francisco as you come off the bay bridge. Pretty good sized board with their '4 finger' logo. A bit graphic for a roadside ad.
I'll be on playing this most every night. Last night Joe and I cleared the airport level (zombie baggage handlers, stewardesses and pilots!) Great fun! Look me up on Steam.
BTW, the built-in voice chat is pretty good and therefore you don't need to worry about Ventrilo.
I don't worry about ventrillo at all.
That makes two of us.
I have to admit I am a tad concerned.
downloading it now.
first time Steam user....
WTF?!?!?!?!
"updating Steam Platform" for like 45 minutes. It's not downloading my game is it? God this is pathetically slow!
I put a network monitor up and it connects for a few K then stops, then connects again then stops. Is it always going to suck?
No. Steam is actually pretty great. Not sure what your issue is.
Had to delete the .blob and start over. Wasted 2 hours because of this crap. Jeez, why not just let me download Steam as a complete install instead of a stripped down installer?
HOLY SHIT
That's the most fun I've had playing online in years.
TIP: Leave the music on. The music clues you in to when a zombie horde or boss is about to strike.
nickname = NUTS
Picked this up today. I'll be on this weekend.
Yeah, I think I'm going to Steam it tonight and be on this weekend some as well.
