Tense. Very tense.

That was awesome. Very tense video.

IT could be a skill thing i think if your moderately good at FPS and you have abunch of mates of simular ablity then you will probably enjoy it.

For example i Have never felt tense in L4d , but i have watched people play and they seem to get very tense and feal under pressure its as if they are unaware of how predictable the game is or how obvious it is if its a win or lose situation , l4d never feals like a fight for me its always a blatant win or lose situation.

I used to play Alot of q3 Unreal tournament , and Instagib cs 1.6 Dod And red Orchestra I also love driving sims Rfactor Iracing LFS . It could just be the case that i find the core of LFD to easy and thats why for me the other aspects are emphasized. I realy like games that are incredably difficult but 90 -100% fair in terms of win lose scenario.

This could also be why Manny people i think enjoy it more on the 360 , due to the way the 360pad limits the players ability to move around it would probably make the game play more suspenseful if i ever get a 360 ill give it a try and see if it makes it more enjoyable for me as im pritty terrable at console FPS games , Bar golden eye on the n64.

The whole thing is im convinced that L4D is a casual game. that's not a bad thing I just think its almost ashamed that its a casual game , Id probably enjoy it more if it was a bit more out Like say showing points gained each time you shoot a zombie say points multiplier for getting head shots (and showing this during game play), that way players who have more skill at the fps element could really strive to get head shots and be rewarded for it.

I think the reasoning valve have not made scoring more transparent is that they want to try and make it emersive but i find the immersion in L4D quite comedic its certainly not a scary game , also they could just have the score eliment in some of the Multilayer modes not the traditoinal cmpagns.

Its weard actually if it was presented more a casual game i think i would really enjoy it I love stuff like Peggle , Mario cart , Mashed ,

She's quitting because she's about to get hit with another big scandal

DING!
Local speculation is that some bombshell is about to drop, or would if she didn't resign.

as RedSky pointed out, unless she just ran a marathon, she's very tense, terse and having great difficulty with breath control.

Someting's up.

I'm a bit suprised by that score. The chief criticism is that, as ever, the game isn't long enough. It's an thuddingly moronic observation when you realised how clever this game is with truly diverse gameplay elements and extremely well crafted team play that for once utterly demands cooperation.

As Valve states the game is designed to be played again and again. And this is completely true if my experience is par for the course. It's so relaxing to blast away on easy and have fun, switch between the weapons and see how many kills you can rack up. On normal and above you can have a very tense and thrilling experience. I mostly play two player offline but Live is great as well. The review neglects to mention that audio is also a key gameplay element as you'll often hear the special infected before you see them.

If you buy your games by the yard then by all means pass but you'll miss one of the most fun and well designed games in recent years.
