DEAD: Left 4 Dead 50% off on Steam!

[alexfort93]

A demo did exist, not sure where you can find it anymore...

BTW, great game, seriously. Trying to get my uncle to buy it after he played it for a couple hours, he was hooked.

Does a demo exist for it? I didn't see one on Steam.

Demo existed for a week before the release of the game. Afterwards, Steam took it down and it was never found, evermore.

They took down the PC demo once the full game was out, likely due to the fact that the demo was pretty easily hacked to play other levels, since people were doing just that the week or so before the full game came out (TF2, CS, etc. levels imported into the demo).

Pretty sure you can still dl the 360 demo, which is a little more arcadey and forgiving on controls, but otherwise is pretty much identical.

Was bummed that it was OOS at local Circuit City at 40% off. Nice to see this come up the next day. Thanks, op.

Still can't justify paying more than $15 for this game.

So.. how did you pick $15?

Because I know I won't put as much time into this as I do into Battlefield 2. I bought BF2 for $10 but since this is newer, the highest I'd pay for it is $15.

ah.... very reasonable. OTOH

I paid $50 for some stupid special edition of Crysis.... so that makes this easlily worth $25 for me. LOL...

I don't know why I buy any of these games, I suck at them and never finish them. I could probably just play the demos and be happy - I guess I should start putting them on my FS thread

You and me both.

I'm broke. But $25 is cheap. I bought it.

 

[Illusio]

Wish i could find a 360 version for that price.

Ive been holding off purchasing this as well didnt know if I liked the 4v4 format but i didnt realize how that format actually was. I thought it as a max cap on a map and the play style was similar to usual FPS. At 25 it was a no brainer and after playing some SP and a few MP matches im hooked. I pugged and it was insanely fun and after talking about 10 people into buying it, its going to be 10x funner playing with friends.

If your on the fence on buying this just do it. All you need to do is put about 4 hours into it and ull get your moneys worth(cost of 2 and a half movie tickets.)

 

[frostedflakes]

Picked this up, thanks OP. I need to stop getting in on Steam deals, I still haven't had a chance to play through Bioshock (ordered it during the recent holiday sale).

 

[Zap]

I bought it. People have been playing it at LAN parties around Chicago, so I might get a chance to play.

 

[Craig234]

I keep seeing 4 players mentioned, how is this game for 2 people to play co-op?

You can play 4v4 versus or 4 player co-op. With 2 player co-op the other 2 people will just be AI controlled. This game really needs 4 people to be fun. The AI is better than most games but still sucks.

 

[bucwylde23]

Well it's definitely much more fun with 4 human players, but if you get some retarded players in the game it can be way more frustrating than fun. This moron tonight was running ahead alone and then crying for us to save him/use our medpaks on him because he got hurt.

 

[BlueWeasel]

Couldn't resist any longer. Order just placed.

Even if I tired of it quickly, the free content on the way and the mods (once the SDK is released) means that $25 will probably go a long way.

 

[BlueWeasel]

It's currently still available but the deal could end at any moment.

Yeah, generally ends about 10:30 eastern time I think?

Hopefully anyone not willing to pay $50 for it jumped for $25, the more people own this, the stronger the community for it will be in the coming year and the more time Valve will put into the extras that make their stuff fun for years to come.

 

[Schadenfroh]

In for one, thanks.

Deal still on, pulled the trigger.
Thanks OP

 

[RallyMaster]

Well damn you all. I caved in and bought it.

 

[RallyMaster]

Sale is extended till February 17th, folks. I must say, this game is more fun online than I originally gave it credit for. I need some friends to buy this mess and play it with me.

 

[ivan2]
