L4D2 Straw Poll

[spindoctor]

It would have been funny if Valve had made it so anyone who was a member of that boycotting group couldn't buy the game.

that would have been really funny

 

[TheCommander]

Huh?

Gave up trying to make sense of that about half way through. I was simply implying that the boycott group would be smaller if they were called on their commitment. I don't believe that not a single one of those 41k+ people will buy L4D2. After all, these are the people who care enough about the original to want to protest about the sequel. I can imagine Valve throwing them a bone in the form of a map pack or two, and then everyone can be best mates again without feeling like they've compromised their principles.

I think most of those boycotters will end up buying it.

A random map generator would be a marvel of programming if it produced halfway playable maps.

Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi had one six years ago.

Indeed, I imagine L4D players are a fickle bunch. When the boycotters realise they are missing out then they will buy it

Miss out on what exactly? 5 new campaigns...so what? There's like a bajillion user made ones and of those there is already a good number of campaigns at least as fun as the original maps.

Valves pathetic attempt at re-releasing their idea with a few tweaks is going to fade into obscurity in comparison to the massive amount of user made content available. Someone will probably rip the new maps as user content for L4D anyway

We already know your stance on L4D2. You really have a habit of repeating yourself.

 

[stiltner]

Never played the first, but man, they look so much fun, and when was the last time Valve did a game bad.

I'll snag the combo pack and play em both.

Need some downtime in Aion play anyway

You're right, I will of course kill myself immediately for this atrocity.

A moment of clarity...

Yeah, I'm buying L4D2. I confess I dislike the idea of buying incremental upgrades as full products. (a la Madden & EA sports games) But I don't think that's the case with L4D2; there's enough new content for me to pull the trigger.

That's funny, have you read what it says on the L4D box?

Here's the image

Dumb? I thought it was nicely done.

I guess it depends if you come from the for or against crowd, mileage may vary

I'm in the not buying because I didn't like the first ones lack of replay value crowd. I guess that makes me a boycotter. I also boycott tampons as Im a dude and they are uncomfortable for me to wear.
