SeaOfEnergy Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 yeah the demo is pretty cool, LOTS of zombies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 i'v been playing this on the xbox 360 online and while it is great fun, it does look a bit creaky. Also once you get past the novelty of running zombies attacking you there isn't actually that much to the game. I rekon it's one to get once it's cheap for me.

SeaOfEnergy Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 the zombies need more limbs comin off and stuff, theres too much shooting at them with no visible damage, plenty of blood ,no damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTickingTime-Bomb Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Are you joking?I've been dismembering, decapitating and generally blowing the bollocks off every zombie I see!Though I only play on PC so I have way more detail than the 360 version.Can't wait for the full game to play as infected.Have you seen the trailer for the cornfield & forest map?Genius.

I rekon it's one to get once it's cheap for me.I think the simplicity of it is what makes it so great. The survival horror genre has become so cluttered with complex controls in recent years that it has focused more on the gameplay rather than the setting. A prime example is Resident Evil 4 - while it is an absolutely amazing game, it is nowhere near as scary as Nemesis chasing you for example.And come on, how can anyone not like butting a zombie in the face with your gun until they die?

Captain America Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I played this with friends on the Xbox, we were working as a team and it was great. But then you have to kill a massive bunch of them and the adrenaline gets going and after we finished them all off, I spotted one hiding like behind a train in a corner.I though "Oooooooh yeah, gonna kill me some zombie!!". Went over, turned my light on, it was a witch, we all died and I laughed my arse off as my friends cursed me (because I was the first to die obviously).Good game though, great with friends. Rubbish with stupid random people on XBL who just run gung ho in and alert everything within a two mile radius that we are there.Although an amusing way to get your own back on them is to run into the safe room first and keep closing the door as they try to get in.

The Kernel Loaf Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I assume some of you must have surely bought the full game by now!We should get together for a mass versus mode or something (on Steam of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_matter Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Yeah Left for Dead is pretty damn awesome. There's nothing worse than getting through a whoreload of zombies to hear a witch moaning. It's shite I tell you, and it's ruined many a mission!

black_matter Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I haven't played the game yet but why are the witches so bad? Are they hellish to kill... or is it that you can't kill them? ?(You can kill them but aye they tend to take more of a kicking than your average zombie. Plus it's just extremely annoying getting through a mental horde of zombies, carrying on for a little bit with very little ammo and health and hearing a witch moaning, waking it up accidentally and getting your arse kicked. Although its got a random respawn thing on the game for the zombies I think so you could get to the same part of the mission and not find a witch there the next time, which is pretty cool.

The witches are pretty piss easy to kill if you want to do them in. You can either throw a molotov from far away and blast them with the assault rifle from a distance, or you can do the trick that allows you to get the one hit kill achievement. Sneak up behind her, jump, look down and then shoot with the auto shotgun.There is nothing more annoying than Zoey as an AI. She always seems to fuck things up for me (setting off cars with alarms, shooting boomers before butting them away first etc.) Anyway, my Steam ID is 'rainbowbunny' if anyone fancies a game.

Captain America Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Try fighting one off on expert, NOT good. I abandoned my whole american team after they went whooping towards one with shotguns blazing. I then carryed on to the safe room on my tod.

Lucius Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I played this for the first time at a mates house. He was just telling me to be careful because there was a witch nearby but just as he got to the part where he said "don't shoot at it", I had just thrown a pipe bomb.It ran at us in flames and screaming.We died.

Brymon Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Ace game, i've never thought i was much of a panicer but within the first hour of this i found something about my personality that must have been buried deep down inside dying to get out!!Awesome co-op too!!

Le Stu Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Is it just me or is this literally the most eyewatering game on the 360? I'm not sure if it's the torchlit nooks and crannies or just a need to not be blinking but I was crying like a bairn most of this evening's session.Totally worth it as well!

justin666 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Played it on the PC quality game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Finally buying this + Xbox Live today to celebrate exams being over- still seems to 40 quid everywhere though. I would have thought it would have came down in price by now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Cheapest is at PC World or CDWow...Left 4 Dead - Microsoft Xbox 360 34.99 @ PCWorld - HotUKDeals Forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Cheers- I still would have expected it to be cheaper than that in most places. Seemed as if it was the only game that wasn't reduced when I looked the January sales. Ah well, it should be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I hadn't heard of it until last night when a mate suggested a few of us buy it to play on Xbox Live, as it is incredible in multiplayer (apparently).Thought i'd be able to pick it up for about 25 as well, but couldn't see it anywhere cheaper than the above link.There was a website I used that listed the cheapest prices online for all games, but for the life of me I can't remember it now!! Gametracker...Gameseeker...? Can't remember. It was good though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 I looked 'Gameindie' and 'Game Comparison' and found a place selling preowned copies for 27.99 (+2 quid p&p). Getting closer, but not close enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
