I've been hearing so much hype about Valve's upcomming game Left 4 Dead and I can't seem to understand why.

I've tried watching dozens of gameplay videos, trailers, interviews etc.. and I can't see what is so good about this game.
The one thing I find cool is the online co-op but still Resistance 2(which I will be getting) will have co-op with 8 players + a single player campaign and a whole lot of competitive modes.

Maybe it's just because I find that Valve's games have been really overrated (except for CSS and Portal). I've been really trying to get back into PC gaming since I got my PS3 but up to now the only game that interests me is Crysis Warhead.

So why is Lef 4 Dead so highly anticipated? Is it because it's another Valve game? Is it because of the online co-op?

Because up to now I can't really find anything that interesting about the game.

 

I stopped reading after that. You obviously can't tell a good game from a bad one and an innovative one from one that isn't. Sorry for the perosonal attacks but it's true.

 

Don't get me wrong, I never said the games were bad I'm just not sure they deserved compliments like: "The best game ever made"

I just found that I had to push myself to keep playing Half Life and Half Life 2 because after a while I got kinda annoyed and bored at the games. Now I'm not saying that they are bad games just that there are other games that I enjoyed playing a lot more.

I completely disagree. I find that Valve's games are not only great FPS, but also extremely polished, innovative, immersive, and revolutionary.

I really loved Half-Life 2, as well, and I can't wait for episode 3.

If nothing else, Valve cares very, very much about their games, and they always please their fans. The Orange Box, imo, is still one of the best games ever, if you count it as one game.

Valve has also never created a game that dissapointed a lot of people, which very few developers can claim. They are just excellent developers, and everything they release is quality.
