L4D2 was amazing watcha talkin' about
they were both great games trying to go in new direction, survival horror for L4D1 and more comedy-oriented for L4D2. I also preferred Rochelle more than Zoey (very unpopular opinion) not because she's hot (she's not) but because i felt like she was much more than the "Token girl in a male cast" and had a personality. Of course, Zoey in The passing was pretty good and her evolution from l4d1 taking the leader role is pretty good.

i liked melee, i loved every single campaign (excepted the swamps one) with The passing/Dark carnival/ and HARD RAIN as my favorite. Seriously, Hard rain is amazing, those rain effect and graphic are the best i've ever seen, the feelings and atmosphere.. it's the perfect campaign.
Also, i wish that you could add entirely new weapons/enemy from the workshop than just reskin them, there are some real gems and i always hate those game with workshop saying that the player are free to mod the game but they can only RESKIN thing.

Ok, but if people had to choose between L4D1 and L4D2 most of them would choose L4D2. Nobody gives a fuck about L4D1. It's simply better, and that backlash was just because the plot is developed during the day. I was there when it was released too

that's only because Valve released all the L4D1 content into L4D2, retard. Are you underage of something?
That's also the reason L4D2 has massively positive reviews. There's literally no reason not to play it over L4D1.

People would likely pick l4d2 because has L4d1 and L4d2 characters

NOW THIS
IS A BIG ASS MACHINE GUN

L4D2 was a step down to L4D1 except for gore (which is god-tier) and weapon variety.
Source isn't built for sunny daytime maps so those looked like blurry garbage and revealed just how dated that engine is.
The view models are gigantic and blatantly made for consoles.
They removed being able to see your feet for no reason.
The spitter was a great addition to prevent camping but the jockey was just irritating and unnecessary.
Mostly though it just felt like a cashgrab. L4D 1.5 rather than a true sequel. The original game was bare enough as it was.

>>378040274
This game was so shit from day 1. Looked like garbage, boring, repetitive gameplay, guns that felt like toys.

>>378045920
The only reason people pick L4D2 over L4D1 is because it has both campaign, gameplaywise it's shit with instant pin SI bots in Campaign and shitty hit registration in Versus

>>378045920
The maps and atmosphere are way better in the original game, but the charger and spitter were welcome additions.

No.

Looking back it feels like the whole L4D franchise went absolutely nowhere and Valve themselves lost interest in it pretty quickly. It feels more and more like Valve is just a bunch of ADHD kids that can't focus on one thing long enough without getting distracted.

>>378047101
It's nothing special and clearly unfinished.

>>378046982
It's what happens with their retarded flat culture. Everyone loves working on something new, no one likes maintenance work. If you let people do whatever they want, they'll never choose the maintenance work. That's why they release stuff that is immediately forgotten like streaming on Steam, the Steam Link and controllers, SteamOS, SteamVR (which last I checked isn't available on SteamOS yet) etc.. I'm guessing this is why they never release any new games either, because the first 50% of making a game is very exciting but the last 50% is often just a grind, so everyone probably just changes to another project when they get to that last part. The place is being ran like a fucking kindergarten and they can get away with it because they practically have a monopoly on the PC market.

>>378047279
eh. well never mind then

I wish I still had friends to play L4D with.

>>378047320
They've given interviews about the work environment people and how people just sort of move around from one project to another without any leaders or deadlines. It's a wonder that Portal 2 ever came out.

Absolutely right, but it is not just that. Everything about the game just screams disinterest from day one. For instance, the first one never received proper addon support and the second one only got it way too late.
All the campaigns made after the initial release were okay at best, and don't get me started on that retarded half official, half modded campaign that was released in bits and never finished.
Valve really dropped the ball on this whole ordeal.

>>378048102
I would go as far as to guess L4D2 was meant to be an update or DLC for L4D originally but was released as a new game for some more political reason, like Valve's quabbling with Microsoft over the cost of patching games on the 360.

L4D3 has been in heavy development since 2013, originally planned for 2015 release. They've had it sitting at 90% for years. It won't be VR exclusive, most likely it will feature VR/2D crossplay.

HL3 has been in development since HL2. It definitely won't require VR.

One of the VR products will most likely be a cockpit-based experience.

One of them will be set predominately in Aperture Science.

the good old days when you could switch teams and type kill in console

so we can all agree that running climbing zombies would be near impossible to win against right? specially if headshots are required. The game doesn't take it into account but if the gun you're using isn't high caliber that means no stopping power which means you've got 100-150 pound object with momentum still coming towards you at a decent speed.

that's not even taking into account special infected.

Fuck this makes me want to play it now.

L4D1 was clearly superior. It had better atmosphere in every way, not muddled by the weird mix of original and "southern" specials. Color palette was clearer. Less of that hazy fog shit. The FOV was better, and actually had a full body view.

Then L4D2 just fucked it all up and threw a bunch of shit at the wall that didn't feel near as tight to play, but it was still fun and it had all the L4D stuff after a point so that's the only option now.

I've put so much time into both, have both for 360 and PC. Sort of miss it, all those good times, but I don't know if it'd be so good again. Shame Valve still can't count to 3.

I don't think we'll ever see a Valve game that doesn't have multiplayer and crates. They've seen how absurdly profitable it can be for so very little effort compared to a singleplayer masterpiece, and if there's one thing modern Valve likes its making mountains of cash at the expense of everything else.
