left 4 dead = ripoff.

i bought left 4 dead last weekend at a gamestop store for 50$. i figured i could get it cheaper on ebay new, but i didn't feel like bothering so i snagged it. everyone hyped the game up so much and i knew it wouldn't live up to the hype, as games never do, but it didn't even come close.

i can't believe i payed 50$ for it. its lame unless ur online. ai allies are horrible. there's barely any depth. its a good game, but for 20$. i feel used (-_-)

enjoyed the Resident Evil 5 demo way more than left4dead.

i should demo everything anymore, i got pwned by my own stupidity.


anyone else think its overrated or not worth 50-60$ ??

I'm going to pick this up soon because I know what to expect. Having appropriate excpectations for a specific movie, game or any other medium will usually avoid these type of situations.

It's a great game and is worth the full price. It's better on PC tho.

It's better to play this game with people you know. It's a blast and a half I think.

its lame unless ur online

EinsteinNewton

the co-op, director AI and the new survival mode are the best part of this game, i always felt the multiplayer was tacked on and horribly done because really the only "infected" worth playing as is the tank

nethernova

Yeah seriously.

It's been how many months now and he didn't read the reviews. I'm pretty sure many of the reviews out there say that offline may disappoint, but online is stellar. This late in the game, there really is no excuse.

I was thinking about getting this game. Either this, Bioshock, Dead Space, GOW2, or Oblivion... but anyways, some people say that this is a great game while others say it's garbage with the exception of the online play. I usually don't rent so should i just buy one of the other ones? I don't have any zombie games and i am NOT buying RE5 b/c of that bs they pulled with the "dlc". Any help would be greatly appreciated... Also, what do you mean by a "shallow" game? Is the game short in terms of length? What makes the online play so spectacular and the single player mode so terrible?sourcerah

Some people say it's shallow. Once you get into it, it becomes very apparent that this was a design choice. They kept the weapon selection and character skills to a minimum to keep the flow of the action going. For a twitch shooter, the pacing is just right. Variety comes in the form of the AI director. It randomly chooses weapon pickup spots and zombie spawn points and randomly throws waves of undead at you.

Some call it shallow. I find the minimalism elegent in a way.

Versus game mechanics are as innovative and refreshing as Splinter Cell's. Playing as zombies is very different than playing as survivors.

me and my roomate go online together,i have more fun playin resident evil co-op by alot

It's all about the online multiplayer like Versus mode. You don't buy L4D for single player or else you will be disappointed.death919

Well it may have been a rip off for you, I got it in it's first week and played it to death, but I don't feel ripped off.

Grab Oblivion, deepest and most satisfying on the 360 when it came out, and still is.

research ur games before you buy.

I don't necessarily feel ripped off, but I wish I had gotten it at a cheaper price. I don't play it at all anymore and I grew bored with it quickly. Not a bad game, but just one that doesn't suit me. I'll download the DLC when I get home and give it another shot with my friends though for sure.

Meh. It was great the first time I played it, but after awhile it got old quickly. I didn't like the fact that there were only 4 campaigns that could be finished in 45 minutes each, there was barely any depth to it and while versus is very fun to play the 20 second respawn kind of ruined it for me.

How is the multi-player bad? if you don't have friends sure it's a pain in the ass trying to find people with mics and what not, aside from that though it's probably the best teamwork reliable game out there. The maps are addicting even though there isn't many of them, being able to be both sides, human and infected is just great. This game isn't meant to be played solo what so ever. If you bought this game for single player purposes, you need to work on your research a bit more before buying games.

JayQproductions

tacked on? If everyone was able to play as the tank, then the multiplayer would be tacked on... but winning in this game requires extreme cooperation, and the multiplayer was built so that a single player wouldn't be able to dominate the opposing team. Care to elaborate on why the multiplayer is horribly done?

Don't know what's so bad about it. I got a few weeks after release enjoyed it, ALOT! I played it too much, for about 4 weeks straight non-stop. It's worth it.

This is the truth. I've had countless hours of fun just playing local co-op with my friends. It really is a great game, but I can see where you're coming from when you say you feel ripped off. With only four campaigns to choose from and with each one only lasting about an hour (on normal) it does leave a little bit to be desired, until you begin playing co-op.

you say you can't play online yet you're saying that you should demo everything? :|

people keep flaming me saying to do my research. if u actually read my later posts, I I DID DO RESEARCH. i like multiplayer games, its decent but i think its overrated and overpriced for it is short on content. high replay value shouldn't make it cost more.

cod, halo, CS are far superior multiplayer play IMO. And for u flamers that means IN MY OPINION = BIASED STATEMENT = shut up

i still like the game, just not as much as everyone else i guess.

its an ok game just gets very boring fast

I dont find it a rip off at all. Out of the many 360 games I own I probably have put the most hours on that ( will other then oblivion) but Its really fun and I have many people to play online with so it never gets old.... Now its not better then Half life 2 for sure though haha

Yea the survival mode is kinda stupid.They should allow a 30second countdown on screen every 5minutes to give you time to pickup weapons and health.I was playing the other day and two tanks came out at the same time,we felt cheated how the enemy spawns were setup.It wasnt meant for you to survive,it was meant for you to get slaughtered.

I am sick of left 4 dead, i got the new dlc, played it a few times, yeah it waspretty cool but it still gets benched...BUT it is one of those games i think i will always want topick up againand again. iam tempted totradethis gamein afterseveral play throughs ofIt, but icouldnt part with it. The zombie slaying mahem is so unique. The day iscomming when the dead will rise once again. We needmore weapons (DLC)xboxlive!But If you havntpicked upa copy yet, don't, until it drops.
