THE GAME GOES BAD! WORSE THAN WE EXPECT!

[THE Tank]

Ok, now that I have all of your attention, lol since you clicked here, What if L4D did not come out as we all planned what if it was just some stupid thing like Resident evil [god i hate that game] or some other zombie game you hate? WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

[The One]

Ummmmmmmmmmm...................................... .....................






yeah did you not read the article about how the guys flew there to play the game and explained everything really detailed. more detailed than any website. yeah the game wont come out bad.

[THE Tank]

ok *the one* i said what if i didn't say THE GAME CAME OUT BAD I SAID "WHAT IF" "WHAT IF" WHAT IF" lol...... SO don't ummmmmmmmmmm......... me.

[The One]

True............................... You know what just wait you wont be tellin me not to ummmmm you when me and the rest of the survivors shove M16 bullets in your chest, with Machinegun birrages. hahaha

[THE Tank]

Or maybe... i could just shove machine gun bullets up your butt. wouldn't that be fun?! lol i'm just kidding. =P

[The One]

You wouldnt be able too boss infected cant use weapons, and I'm The One so I would just stop the bullets and fling them back at you

[THE Tank]

hahah retard XP Ur obsessed with THE ONE.

[The One]

Its cause I am the one

[squerl]

Settle..

[Stupoider]

IF the game came out crap I'd ummmmm the both of you.

[frogopus]

Can you be arrested for inciting panic on a forum? :)

[squerl]

I don't think so.. but you can certainly be banished.

[Quotidius]

Vanquished, rather!
The power of squerl compels you! The power of squerl compels you!

[Stupoider]

One of us, one of us.

[Quotidius]

One of us, one of us.

This disquieting quasi-sentence, devoid of any concrete connotations to the matter at hand, perturbs my mind to the extent that my sleep is no longer sound.
I'm suddenly unsure whether I made the right choice PMing you :D

[squerl]

Buahah.

[Stupoider]

Erm... One of them, one of them.

[The One]

oh c'mon you guys chill Me and The Tank know each other so its cool.

[squerl]

It all makes sense now!

[The One]

I'm still gonna kill the tank with my M16...............xP

[Stupoider]

We'll make sure he never finds out.

[KashMunni]

What IF... since the game has such sweet and cool things happening at the same time like zombies coming at you from every direction and jumping over cars,fences,etc. what if for some people their game crashes. cause i baught dark messiah and i hate that game so much.
i had to start over 12 times because it crashes when i save the game and even now that i have my computer with 2 nice chips and video cards it still screws up on me and just crashes.. i've been hearing the same for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. so plz plz plz plz pleeeeeez don't release game that will crash in the middle of the action because i have had far more than enough of it already

Now, DM was a great game... the first run. The second run was unplayable.
I bet the guys at TRS and VALVe rejoice over the fact that they're virtually independent; free of boundaries and restrictions. Arkane, on the other hand, firmly held by a leash by Ubi, was pressured into releasing an unfinished title.
The fact that the guys at TRS are adopting the "when it's done"-attitude is a telltale sign that when the game is released, we'll be hard-pressed to find any serious bugs.

[KashMunni]

But don't get me wrong Quotidius i really did love the game its just the crashing that made me not want to ever play it again but i'm not balming any 1 im just saying it as an example

[Quotidius]

I fully agree with you; I doubt I'll ever buy another Arkane title again without checking the forums for complaints.

[Puscifer]

Soooo back to the topic opener.....No there is no chance that this game will be crap...No Way! i think it should be mandatory to play this game every day of the week! haha

[squerl]

Yeah, you're exactly right. The developers are making it the best game that they can before they release it, which benefits all of us!

[A DUCK]

Not to mention after they make it the best they can and release it... they're going to keep making it better :D. (Bug fixes if any, new character sayings perhaps.. anything to make it better)

[KashMunni]

when the game is complete :)))))))))

will there be more maps,guns,etc. being made? by turtle rock is that up to the public?

[sir monster]

will there be more maps,guns,etc. being made? by turtle rock is that up to the public?

as stated in some other posts they already have plans for new missions and maps. no word on weapons or characters though im sure the community will also map and even do custom characters i dunno about weapons tho.

[MrToodles]

I currently cant say anything official, because I havent even played the game before, but it sounds like the weapons could get very repetative and might bore me (after a while ofcourse).

But then again, I havent played the game before.

Yeah, maybe after a while they get boring but I have played many games and often there is only a few which you find good and fun to use, rest of them won't you touch unless you run out of ammo. In L4D they have done them so every weapon got a purpose and they are good at different situations.

[frogopus]

Hona, I think that is the general concern and one reason there is such a limited choice. I can say, as we have said before, that the guns all have a reason to be used and all place you in a certain role within the team. I'm not sure if I will get bored of the weapons because its more about killing the enemy in any way possible than how you do it. Whatever gets the job done. The general tone from the Turtle Rock guys is that they're looking forward to releasing new content frequently. Whether this means new scenarios, guns, bosses, or what have you, I can only guess at this point but new things will come out to keep the replay up.

[MarxismIsOk]

In my opinion, there is not a deficiency of guns. We've counted 11 weapons/attacks (including melee, I know its a stretch...)
Uzi, Pistol, Dual Pistol, Shotgun, AutoShotgun, Assault Rifle, Melee Attack, Fixed Machine Gun(in finales), Molotovs, Pipe Bombs, Hunting Rifle....
Thats quite a bit considering that most of these all do the same thing, which is put holes in infected, and no one has really talked about the possibility of different maps having different weapon availability. For example., a campaign that had a series of maps that coursed through a military base would have heavier weapons with more frequency than with the hospital campaign.
But frankly, I have to say, the game getting boring because there arent enought weapons is ludacris....I mean...you read the preview right? ;P

[sir monster]

the characters dont have classes, but the weapons each has a role in the game. that means that YOU have a role depending on what weapons you pick. if you pick the shotty, youre gonna be clearing hallways if they are coming down them, something you wouldnt be able to do if you selected the hunting rifle. the director will keep this game fresh, and though you might get tired of having to select the same guns over and over you can always experiment in the way you use them. but basically i would say this is true:

shotty/autoshotty: indoor/ close range combat
uzi: med/close range support weapon
m16: med/long range assault weapon (anti boss class)
hunting rifle: long range support weapon (damage from a distance)w/ scope. w/o scope med range support weapon (anti boss)
pistol/s: close range support weapon

naturally these weapons wont solely be used in these ways but its an accurate description of the weapons designed purposes.

as you can see they have pretty much every unique use for a weapon covered by these 5 (near dozen if you go by turtle rock math) you will also have the stationary weapons at the finale ect ect.
i too thought the 5 would get boring , but after i started thinking about it in this way i realized that if they added weapons they would be filling the exact same roles, or they would be adding less useful roles. in the end the game is about surviving the hordes and the mutant freaks and working as a unit with your weapons as a team. the game puts more of an emphasis on the weapons actual usage together, rather than the different types of weapons. im really starting to like the fact that there are a limited selection.

[MarxismIsOk]

I would consider the autoshotty pretty much made for taking out the tank. Of course it will work against anything, but the tank is the one boss infected I'm really worried about in terms of balance issues. Not a damn thing could get me to narrow my vision to a scope sight in this game.....scary<shivers> Shotty and pistols fer me, brutha!

[sir monster]

Shotty and pistols fer me, brutha!

depending on the map shotty and pistols for me, or pistols and rifle.

[Degu]

Depends on the situation for me...if the map is mostly close quaters then a pistol and shotgun combo...not sure whether to go with pump or auto yet as I haven't used either yet. If the map we're out in the open more I would consider rifles more.

from the description of the hospital mission, there will be situations where each weapon has a use... long streets, to buildings, to sewers.. so in the end pick what you enjoy doing unless you feel the group is lacking in some way (everyone has short/med range weapons, so you select a med/long range)

[hooray for zombies]

regarding the topic itself, this has been a nagging worry in the back of my head, it wouldn't be the first time that a game looked like the next coming of christ (zombie christ) then something happened at the last minute to make it into more mediocre sludge. As to whether I'd buy it.... yes, why? Because I am a zombie whore, pure and simple

[Shrubberyjsc]

I guess we're bringing back the old threads now...

MIRITE?

BASTARD!! WHYD YOU DO IT!!!! D: WHYY!!?!??! OH THE HUMANITY!

[POTTENI]

I keep having dreams where I get to play L4D, and it's always either really weird or just sucks. Wow, I can't believe I actually dream about a game. Ha ha!

[bboi018]

I actually had a dream where i was IN L4D...it was quite scary and realistic.....it fills me with fear and excitement...mostly fear....all fear. haha i can explain, but i suck at explaining and it can get quite messy (the explanation) freakin scary man.....cant wait for the game to come out :D

That's messy alright...

Back to topic: I'm SOOO tired of reading these stupid threads with people panicing and thinking irrationally. We are all fanboiz already, right? So please... It's in our genes to love this game - predestined, incoded, imprinted, etc. We will foolishly love it and if there's unexpected flaws we will ignore them or have a &quot;logical&quot; explanation for them. So relax. It's set in stone for us - I'm more worried about The Others. Those without the genes :P

[Dead Fish]

Left 4 Dead being a failure? I guess we can rule that out as a possibility at this point...

I'm more worried about The Others.

Did I hear you saying &quot;Crusade&quot;... ? I think I heard someone saying Crusade.

;)

[Jimmyboe]

THIS THREAD IS A BLASPHEMY!!! BURN THE HERETIC!!!

[DanTehMan]

This game is going to be stunning, If they delay it anymore I will cry. END OF THREAD.

[USS_Stud]

what if it was just some stupid thing like Resident evil [god i hate that game]
Now you can't be taken seriously.

[bboi018]

i hope everyone notices that this topic is ancient.

[Armored_Zombie_Cow]

i hope everyone notices that this topic is ancient
yeah shrub randomly brought it back; and if you didnt notice this is another Horrible thread created by THE Tank...he has at least 2 worthless ones.

[arsis]

this is off topic, flame me.

back to the dark messiah complaints, i played the whole game through and really enjoyed it. then after i beat it i wanted to just play some of the levels again but it got incredibly laggy and slow. theres no way i can play a game like that. i dunno what happened, i even re installed it. whatever.

[gorgoth]

What if this stupid thread died?

[hooray for zombies]

Did I hear you saying &quot;Crusade&quot;... ? I think I heard someone saying Crusade.

always time for a Crusade

[Armored_Zombie_Cow]
