The only way this review could have been better is if it was for Gears of War 2. OK, I'll shut up about Gears 2 for a minute so that I can say I didn't like the Left 4 Dead demo much and I agree that anyone who replaces the word 'for' with '4' should be shot. (Yes I know it's because it's a 4-player game but that doesn't make it clever.)
You'd have a point, and i'd agree if you hadn't have mentioned Gears of Bore 2.
Yes, its unlikely that Yahtzee will be kind to Gears as it's a game for XBOX and a lot of people bought it. Then again, it's also a complete ripoff of the first two Halo games at the end so chances are he'll unwittingly shower it with praise like he does every time a game features something Bungie either invented or refined to perfection thus proving his hypocrisy time and time again.
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
And we've all had the Halo is mediocre debate before and this isn't the place for it. I don't remember Bungie inventing anything, and only FPS Perfection has been attained by Call of Duty 4, and Half Life 2.
COD 4, really? Wow. Halflife 2 was good; it certainly wasn't perfect. The Orange Box was a great value. Let's be fair to Bungie for a second my mousy friend. Bungie incorporated storytelling in games in a way that hasn't been achieved since the days of real-time adventure games (Movies with puzzles); and it did it in a way that--unlike real-time adventure games--didn't suck. The pacing has an engine of its own as well, giving the user the choice between very Halflife-esque cutscene interaction, tradition sit-back-and-watch interaction, and an altogether revolutionary interruption interaction. Aside from that, Bungie has built every game from the ground up; unlike Valve, who profits widely from the proliferation of their buggy engines.
In any case, I'm not trying to have the Halo isn't mediocre debate. All I'm saying is that if Activision made Left 4 Dead he would have said that it made him want to shoot infant children and it was a total waste of money.
Wow, arguing with you is pointless. Fanboyism is mighty with you.
Half Life 2 has by far the better story telling, characters you can empathise with and is the benchmark for most people of that. Others mentioning Call of Duty 4, entirely because of how it was done, specially the sequence after 'The Event' and a few others.
People make Engines, to sell. You don't see people criticising ID for the same thing.
Building from the ground up is expensive, and largely idiotic. Why reinvent the wheel?
hey idiot dont accuse him of fanboyism when you talk of half life as if its a golden gem that grants wishes your allowed an opinion but not to tell other that they have the wrong one
Nice job jumping on only picking up on Half Life 2, seeing as i talked equally as with equal praise about Call of Duty 4. I picked up on someone with a severe anti Valve problem, first off, i enjoy of the Valve games i've played, but i certainly don't expect everything they release to be the best thing evar. And i won't defend something that is not worthy either. So at best, you are confused at exactly what a fanboy is.
But i imagine that someone who writes a sentence that long, without any punctuation, capitalisation and starting with an insult is a bit of an 'Internets Hero', violently keyboard bashing and any form of reasoned argument is largely pointless, and how explaining your points creates something called debate.
, Really good game, It is very entertaining in VS
