| Grampy said: No, can't say I have played it and doubt that you have either since it's not released yet. The difference is that I never will play it and you probably will. Listen, I noticed the fine nuances which is why I acknowledged the effort and talent that obviously went into it; but at the end of the day you're still just blasting zombies with a shotgun. Not matter how refined and sophisticated the execution, it's a stale old overworked idea. Just the opinion of a veteran gamer who long ago has blown away a zillion zombies in 4 or 5 different generations of mindless games. I would have not mentioned it because I really don't give a rat's patootie how you get your yah yahs but Sqrl said "Bah, nobody has anything to say about this? Don't be bums, comment people!" So I did. |
That's fine if you think the genre is stale, but I disagree. Sure there's been plenty of zombie games, but there really has not been enough first person horror games. That alone puts Left 4 Dead up a few notches for me, since you can list the number of FPS zombie games on one hand.
But again, it's not even about the zombies. The zombies are the genre, the actual game is what's new and fresh. Of course you're still shooting a zombie with a shotgun, I don't want that to change and the fans of this don't either. We want a co-op shooter. If you don't like that then this really isn't the place for you.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
