Steam Sale: Left 4 Dead (x2)

So you thought you were getting a good deal when I announced that Valve was selling Left 4 Dead for $25 (40% off), well they're doing it again. This time it's 50% off. Since then the price has also dropped $10 (I believe), meaning that right now you can get Left 4 Dead for $15. Who wouldn't want a game for $15?

Click here to get to the Left 4 Dead sale.

Ask any of the people who have played it and it is more than an expansion pack. Valve is normally great about after sale DLC, and I'll admit that they kinda fell behind with DLC on this(even the mod tools took ages to be released), but I don't feel that this affects L4D2, I just wont expect TF2ish DLC out of it.

Sounds to me like there shouldn't be a problem with releasing L4D2 as it's own game, at full price. If I was in a position to purchase games, and had played and enjoyed L4D, chances are I wouldn't complain about L4D2's price.

If that were true you would have seen me campaigning to boycott the game.

I wont buy it because I don't think there's enough change to warrant an entire new game. Whether you agree with me or not, I don't care. It's just my opinion and it shouldn't upset you.

Left 4 Dead 2 comes with new characters, weapons, zombie types, campaigns, and a completely different style of gameplay.

Why isn't L4D2 a L4D add-on? For the same reason Halo 2 isn't a Halo 1 add-on. Just because the graphics are the same, doesn't mean the system is.

Do I think that L4D2 is worth the purchase? No, not when it's released. Games are way to expensive these days. However, you have 3 choices, you can buy the game at that price, you can wait until it's cheaper, or you can shut the fuck up and go play your NES. I choose to do 3 until I can do 2.

The game engine actually was changed quite significantly, that's why they couldn't release it as a series of expansion packs.

Harassing you aside for a moment, I'm just curious: You think that if Majora's Mask had come out in the DLC era, it would not have been justifiable as a full price purchase?

Let me fix that for you:

Yes, $15 is a very good deal for Left 4 Dead.

I do not believe expansions should ever cost the same as full games.

> Indeed. I'll keep in mind the fact that you're poor in case I feel the need to get you all riled up again in the future. Despite your claim that you "know my intentions", I really struck a nerve with that one!

I see you're still as hungry as ever for an ego boost. At least your intentions are clear now. ;)

> It's raised a small fuss online because poor, entitled gamers like SuperAntx think that all "new content" should be made available as DLC for free, or at a huge discount.

I never said free or huge discount, but you do much better when you're misquoting people in an attempt to troll them!

I said it shouldn't cost the same as a full-fledged game. Games sell for less than $60 all the time and DLC is a great way to add to an existing game.

> Example: If Zelda: Majora's Mask had come out in the DLC age, the same types of people would have been up in arms demanding to pay less for it.

But you see, it didn't come out in the DLC age and you can't really hold it to today's standards.

My judgement on whether or not the price of L4D2 being fair or not would be based on the amount of new content being released. If it matches or is greater than the amount of content for L4D, then why not sell it at the same price?

Does a game engine really have to be changed in order to justify the price?

It's a sequel. It's raised a small fuss online because poor, entitled gamers like SuperAntx think that all "new content" should be made available as DLC for free, or at a huge discount.

Example: If Zelda: Majora's Mask had come out in the DLC age, the same types of people would have been up in arms demanding to pay less for it.

Right.

> Is Left 4 Dead 2 an expansion or a sequel?

It's supposed to be a sequel. In reality it's a stand-alone expansion you don't need the original in order to play.

To put it simply there are new weapons, new zombie types, new maps, and a new cast.

Is Left 4 Dead 2 an expansion or a sequel? (I don't know anything about L4D as I've never played it, or witnessed it being played. I just know it's about zombies.)

This is exactly what I'm talking about. You post this crap in order to get a reaction out of people.

Just like with the 2MB resource limit, you try to hook people into fighting with you because you feed on the bickering. Without it your ego will deflate and you'll realize how lame you are for calling people fat on the internet.

And yes, $15 is a very good deal for Left 4 Dead 2. However, I do not believe expansions should ever cost the same as full games.

You're very astute.

Let's just leave it at this: Left 4 Dead is an amazing value at $15, especially if you're into online shooters.

Grief you constantly? You're the one who started this mess. Don't play the victim when you go around instigating fights.

This isn't even on topic anymore.

Excuse me? Sir, you don't know shit about me. The fact you'll even say something like that just goes to show how big of a douche you are.

Really, wow dude.

> Sequels nowadays offer just as much new content as they always have. In fact, a lot more time and money goes into modern sequels like Left 4 Dead 2 than it ever did into games like Mega Man 1-6, which adjusting for inflation actually sold for a lot more back in the day.

Compare Halo 1 to Halo 2 and there's quite a large improvement in graphics and feature additions. The same can be said by comparing Halo 2 to Halo 3.

Now look at Halo 3: ODST. It's pretty much the same game as Halo 3 with night vision and a new multiplayer mode. It actually comes packaged with Halo 3's multiplayer! With so few additions and such a short campaign, it shouldn't cost the same as a full-fledged game like Fallout 3.

> Halo 3: ODST topped the sales charts because thankfully not everyone is an anti-social online gamer with a false sense of entitlement.

Halo 3: ODST topped the charts because #1, it's Halo, and #2, there aren't really any worthwhile releases right now. So many games have been pushed back into next year and nobody really wants to go against Modern Warfare 2.

You would know this if you didn't shovel around as much bullshit as you usually do.
