back that up? name the last game Valve released that didn't deliver.....
Some people just cant tell a good game from a bad one, its the whole reason EA is still in buisness. I struggle to believe it but some people dont like starcraft either... yeah its a crazy world the internet.
Remember, younger and younger, and more ADD minds are buying computers and consoles every year. It doesn't matter that (take EA for instance) a game comes out that is merely a re-skinned near carbon clone of a game that came out 3 years ago. The newer generation will embrace it with open arms while some of us older gamers (who forgot to grow up) stand there like "Whuh, this can has a flavor of fail".
It's all in perception really. I'm in the easy to entertain crowd. L4D looks really fun. A good multiplayer co-op with oodles of sensless violence is always a plus with me. The downside is, that despite great graphics, gameplay, and animation, there's only so many times running through the same map, heading toward the same goal at the end of the same street can be interesting and fun. Regardless of how many zombies and how randomly they spawn.
The plus side: It's on teh Steam. There are so many mods that take a game that's getting rusty and spice it up a bit. A great developing and modding
community can prolong the eventual death and reincarnation of a game dramatically. I think that's why many of Valve games are so popular. You can make the parts of the game you don't like exactly how you want them to be......then you and some friends can go at it and each other with a crowbar.
In short, I'm 99% sure I'll be getting L4D. I hope it comes with a good level editor. I'm not so much a fan of re-skinned zombie games as I am of Valve giving modders a creative license with each game it makes.
