Which is ironic because sneaking is the last thing it does. Despite featuring zombies and being loosely thrown into the survival-horror genre alongside flat-footed compadres Silent Hill and Resident Evil, Left 4 Dead is one of the fastest, craziest games you will ever play.
With a speed more in line with classic PC shooters like Quake or Unreal, zombies relentlessly charge at you from all angles as you have to fight for survival, praying that last shotgun blast wasn't your last before you have to reload and healing injured team-mates while they fend off the advancing horde. It's chaotic, it's messy and its unwavering sense of fun will make you feel giddy and giggly.
At the recent EA Games Showcase event, we caught up with Valve's Doug Lombardi while games journalists in the background whoop, holler and screech their way through the latest level being shown off."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
He wants to launch all his projects initially through close beta.
This game is gpoing to be awesome, Valve is the king of FPS, disagree all you want, you can't change the fact that Half Life is one of the biggest game in history.
1st day purchase for me.
