  • Left 4 Dead 2 is a timeless video game, and with my recent delving into Team Fortress 2, it's really put me in a Valve mood lately. With the recent Source Repo leaks that have happened, I figured now would be a better time than ever to revisit some of the games. Plus, the community is still going very strong for this game! Left 4 Dead 2 is a masterpiece, and hopefully this video will show people why it's so fun.

      Honestly man I don't think it's possible to give this game a sequel. I feel like any new gameplay features you could add to justify calling it a sequel would just take away from the experience. Maybe the best thing to do would be to give Left 4 Dead 2 a full remaster in Source 2 and maybe make a new Left 4 Dead game that offers a different take on the IP. Maybe a spinoff.

      honestly, i agree. i feel like some games just reach their peak mechanically, and any additions or changes after that just ruins balance. Halo 3 to Halo Reach is a perfect example of that. sometimes you just perfect a formula, and leave it at that :^) kinda like CS:GO

      Same can be said with games, there is just so much you can do to build on an already perfected Formula. And you have all the expectations in the world on your shoulder just to disappoint at the end.

    Back4Blood is exactly what was to be expected, L4D without a crazy amount of Valve shine, if anything it perfectly shows why Valve is so highly regarded and why Turtle Rock cant survive without them. The amount of detail and attention that goes in Valve's titles is absolutely insane, but people tend to not really think about half of it until they start comparing with other games, putting B4B side-by-side with L4D2 is jarring as hell, like they forgot about half the game. But then you realize Valve made that other half of the game 😂

    • @jazzyj7834
      @jazzyj7834 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Which is a crazy take in my opinion because I love B4B, more than L4D2, but it's difficult to play these days because the playbase is so small. I think a lot of the people who bash on B4B didn't actually play it. As a game it's insanely fun by itself, and it really expanded on the L4D formula quite well. But I guess most people care more about graphics than gameplay and want a simpler, bare-bones experience and don't like change and complexity added to the formula. Specializing in a specific weapon type or gameplay style? That's no fun, apparently. Let's all play the same character with the same basic abilities that never change and approach each situation the same way! Character choice, card choice, weapon choice, etc all matter in B4B, but in L4D your choice of character is irrelevant to the gameplay, and there's no card system to allow you to change how you play. But hey, the zombies ragdoll with more realistic physics, so who cares about player choice.

      @@jazzyj7834 What you point out I do agree with to an extent, I love the increased weapon variety and the cards system was a pretty interesting spin on the formula imo.
      Generally the issues I've noticed when playing are that none of the characters/survivors are nearly as memorable as the L4D crew, the fact that so many of the special infected looked so similar to one another that they were difficult to tell apart a lot of the time, no mod support (Probably why L4D has survived for so long), and the campaigns being way too long imo.
      With all of this combined, I just lost interest. Obviously most of these gripes are subjective, but I think if a few were addressed, B4B would still have a decent sized player base.

      Not really.
      It is beyond imbalanced and backwards.
      Zombies are supposed to be tough to kill. Humans should die from about anything in the apocalypse….
      And yet it is the other way around in L4D.
      As a “zombie” game, it sucks. As a team game with squishy monsters, it is somewhat ok.
      Somewhat because zombies are utterly inconsistent. Their strength is purely conditional, and they die from about anything.
      Example of bad, wonky (conditional) balance - Charger insta-kills.
      Charger is kinda weak, and yet one abuse of map design results in him completely screwing over the rest of the game.
      All zombies are beyond feast-or-famine. Either just instantly win if X/Y/Z happens or instantly lose if A/B/C is done by survivors.
      Also, the game rewards map knowledge. This is also beyond backwards, since, lore-wise, survivors are supposed to encounter locations for the first time.
      L4D is a ruined zombie game. It has 0 immersion and horrendous wonky, inconsistent balance.
      Project Zomboid or Dead Island 2 are miles and miles above in terms of being a “zombie” game.

  • @matthewgagnon9426
    @matthewgagnon9426 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    It's because it's the best execution of the genre from the word go. You can stop playing for years and pick it back up like nothing has been lost. Modern versions of it have a constant barrage of FOMO to try to keep people playing, but all it does is make people drop the game entirely once they take a break for longer than a couple months. The loot and cards don't actually add anything to the games besides a skinner box, and people tend to get annoyed with those once they realize they're being manipulated.

    Hey new sub here. Saw your DRG video first (Rock and stone, brother) and came over to look at this old classic. Great video! I'm sure I'm only the 200th person to mention it but if you're looking for games that were very directly inspired by L4D and can, if you're being very uncharitable and reductive, almost be called L4D reskins then I'd suggest Vermintide 2 for that medieval fantasy take on the genre and honestly before playing it I never realized just how endearing of a character the enemies can have when they're not mindless grunting zombies but adorable, murderous rat boys (and friends) who actually talk back at you. For a sci-fi gothic take you could try Darktide, the newer game by the same studio. It has some issues with progression right now but man if the atmosphere and core gameplay loop isn't fantastic. The biggest mix-up to the formula that game adds is probably the fact that there's lots of enemies who actually shoot back at you instead of try to claw your face off.

    This is pretty much the only game I play. You can jump in and out of a game at anytime and leave feeling satisfied with your time spent playing it. There’s nothing to gain and nothing to lose, just a purely fun game to entertain you for as long as you spend playing it. It really is one of the only games I can think of that relieves stress for me. I don’t like to compete, grind, or dick around with customizations (I’m looking at you, card system from B4B). I play video games to have fun, and that’s all I get out of Left 4 Dead. People want a L4D3 and I would love that as well, but if something is good enough, just be happy it exists, there’s no need to wish for more when you have everything you need.

    Years ago, when l4d was released, I used to host a community server since I wasn't 18 and couldn't just buy it.
    I remember spending all day trading items in TF2 to get enough to buy the game from another player. That is also how I bought every single game, ever.
    So, at one point some people actually joined and they were asking me to spawn stuff for them, then I figured out sv_cheats 1 would allow them to do so themselves.
    I had fun from watching their in game chat. That's how good this game was. L4d2 is basically all that and more.
    Especially with the mods. Ranging from hentai to just fun. New mechanics, everything. Skins, new weapons, name it.
    There is not a valve game I dislike. And this comes from the dude with 600 TF2 accounts. (premium)
    Worlds cannot describe how much I appreciate Valve for their hard work.

    I wanna take this chance to remind y'all of one of the many reasons I've lost faith in Valve over the years: complete lack of management.
    L4D3 was already in the works. Entire first chapter completed, knew what direction they wanted to take it, assets made/reused for alpha & beta testing. So what happened?
    Internal disagreement over whether the project should be in the Unreal engine (or Unity, one of those Un-engines) or be one of the first new games in Source2. The team was split 50/50 on this decision, and since they couldn't agree...they stopped.
    That's it. They just stopped the moment a single dispute came up because Valve lacks management to see a job to completion.
