Valve Fans Form Left 4 Dead 2 Boycott Group

Half Life 2: Episode 3!! PLEASE VALVE!

I don't think that the people who came to the project in the latter stages had enough influence to delay the release date. I mean, they had to work with EA, who were distributing the boxed copies for PC and 360, and they wouldn't have looked too kindly on a delay.

Boycott the l4D2 boycott!! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/BoycottBoycott

Oooooh, so THAT'S why everyone is angry! I didn't get it before. This makes more sense, well if they only just announced it it won't be out for a year or 2, hopefully they'll give new content for the first.

For the record I neither mind the fiddle music, the new survivors, the daylight, or any of the asethetic or design changes.

I mind not getting them as DLC.

I'm actually starting to wonder if Valve isn't just being clever here: what if this "sequel" is actually just a big DLC pack? Wouldn't that be incredibly strange, yet totally awesome? A sequel made through DLC... not many companies would have the stones to try and pull that, but in the case of Valve's favorite son(right now), wouldn't it make sense?

Stop fucking moaning

O god forbid valve want to do as they please with there own product O DEAR GOD NO

And those of you who believe it?s owed to you as free D/L content shut the fuck up
You aren?t owed shit

But? I agree and want continued support and D/L content for L4D ?1? if they don?t lean form there mistakes then complain: i.e. the shit lobby system

Although L4D was an experiment one Tuttle rock wasn?t entirely happy with and they have every right to start again. They are giving you all the stuff you wanted new infected, new weapons, new campaigns, better support with the director ?level shuffling? witch would be such a ***** to paste on an already existing system. And are entirely justified for wanting to see something for there work and if you don?t like it DON?T FUCKING BUY IT NO ONE OS FORCEING YOU!!.

If you want to see progressions then don?t moan when it happens. Only with experimentation can the game become what they wanted it to be or what it will inevitably become and if you expect a free ride, well it don?t work like that TOUGH

Wow, why aren't they gathering to complain about half life 2: episode 3? Getting mad for a game coming out too soon rather than one not coming soon enough?

I'd rather a quality game than a rushed game. Thats the problem now adays, they rush them and the games suffer thanks to it.

 

[squid5580]

Idiots. Actual idiots.
Most of that manifesto is either a) untrue or b) negative bullshit.

If they dont like it, THEN DONT BLOODY PLAY IT.

EDIT: Do they not realise that L4D1 was just a test, that valve weren't particularly pleased with?

Screw them, i'll be enjoying the sequel while they moan.

/rant

So allow me to decipher this post. Valve made what they believe to be a subpar game and charged us full price for it. To rectify this situation instead of doing what they were supposed to do and give us more maps and whatnot for a reasonable price they are making a sequel to a game that should never have needed a sequel in the first place. And they will be charging us full price for it. And to top it off you expect us gamers to take it dry.

I love it when people complain about games being too colourful, especially when all that happens is that it's in Daylight.

OH. MY. GOD.


It's not like you can't evoke the same tension as you can when it`s dark. Hell, you might even get more since it`s beaten into our brains that Zombis and creepycrawlies only come out at night, so seeing them in the day would be like a total Mindfuck.

Zombies in daylight suck, ruins the entire concept."Well atleast the shadows have been illuminated, we can't get snuck up on anymore", a quote in the near future. Now this little can be remedied, if they added a time-scape, as in dark at first, then gradually daylight.

The AI director is going to control things like weather and the skybox (afaik)

I also do not like the new survivors, especially the one who looks like a recycled,human-textured scout. Again, easily remedied, add the original cast.

I'm sorry to break this to you, but...

Louis, Zoey, Bill, Francis?

They're dead.

Remember the lighthouse level? The one with the tagline "It doesn't end well"? Exactly.

Well the A.I. Director is a dick....maybe it won't screw up on that front.

and i just looked up this claim of yours, Left 4 Dead happens at the same time as Left 4 Dead 2, meaning it is a possibility that they could be used in this.

And while searching this i did find another bright note,apparently Ellis(The Scout)is holding a scoped assualt rifle.

The only legitimate complaint I see is that significant content was promised for L4D, but not delivered. Since I never, ever read any type of news deal pertaining to any Valve promises of keeping L4D fresh, I frankly don't give a shit. I considered the community breaking up in two to be a bad thing at first, before realizing the only people that would still play L4D would be these idiots.

lol hurr durr I never knew about it so it doesn't matter to me.

It's all here.

In all honesty though it seems like people are complaining about the fact that Valve are one of the few decent gaming companies left that are Non-EA, non-Activision, non-Ubisoft. And by creating a sequel to a game that still could use a lot of work (a game which people paid full price for) gamers feel as if Valve are spiraling down the depths of Left4Dead 3, Left4Dead 4, Left4Dead 2011 etc. (which the former publishers mentioned do ALL THE TIME).

I never said it wasn't a legitimate complaint. It is. But, personally, I can't complain unless I know there's something to complain about. So, yeah, "hurr durr it doesn't matter to me." What's the problem?

 

[Outamyhead]

You can only do so much with Zombie shooters, what more do you want from the game, more variance of zombies to frag (I bought Dead Rising on Saturday, so bored I didn't play it again)?

Just quit whining let them make the game and if it's no different from the first one, then complain!

 

[Knonsense]

Unless I'm mistaken, it seems like if the boycott succeeds, Valve will lose money, which will require them to produce more product with less polish and support.

I was thinking precisely this when the L4D2 trailer came suddenly screaming out of the blue. But the more you think about it, the less likely it is - I mean, as a business model it's very flawed. Perhaps in the days when Valve programmed for PC alone it would have made sense.

 

[PyroZombie]

If L4D2 is in the same time line as L4D, than the original guys maybe be alive or ACTUALLY RESCUED AFTER THE 7 RESCUE CALLS!!! And you think these boycotters would take the time to think that MORE than one group of survivors would try to fight for survival. Whatever you hate about the game is mainly because you can't accept change. If you don't like this new game, go back to playing the original and stop your bitching.

Where do you hear bitching, i said i can understand there complaints. Quit your hate-mongering.

And you want to talk about not accepting change? Jesus christ, your being a hypocrite because you hate people that don't have the same views of you. Are you saying that you would be happy with a completely different system(i say this because there will have to be acouple changes due to the presence of melee weapons) that may contain more flaws then the original, rather then just using the base product as a ladder?

Get over it nerds!

While some of their points in the manifesto are fair, some are just assinine.
