If it were on PS3 all the hype would dissapear in a second.

 

Untrue. Any Valve game will be extremely hyped by everyone who has ever played a Valve game, no matter what console the game appears on. This whole "exclusives are always overhyped" garbage is a generalization.

Often games are over-hyped because they are exclusives, but L4D really isn't one of those games. It deserves every bit of the modest hype it has recieved, because it is made by Valve.

It's like me saying LBP was only hyped because it's a PS3 exclusive, and if it were a multiplat, it would probably sell worse, because most of the interest in the game stems from its exclusivity, and without said exclusivity, the online platformer genre isn't necessarily popular with the HD core fanbase.

I just generalized LBP, and I did it in a very plausible way. Doesn't mean it's true, and it doesn't mean that generalizing isn't ignorant. If this game was on the PS3 it would be even more hyped, by PS3 owners who know Valve is great. Those who don't even know who Valve is, aren't qualified enough as gamers to comment, imo.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
