big giant circles Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Haha, now watch 'em bend over and take it like the whiny strawberries that they all are. Bunch of muppets. Quote
The Damned Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Once again, we see how boycotts don't work. Just like on-line petitions. God, on-line petitions just... wow, how can anyone believe that they will work is beyond me. Boycotts, I can see having a slightly better chance of working, because there is technically money involved, but really, has a boycott ever worked? Quote
Native Jovian Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Every once in a while. Just sayin'. Quote
The Damned Posted October 22, 2009 Author Posted October 22, 2009 It may just be made from the cinematics played during/between the five campaigns, but damn,it does look kind of nice. I love the end on the elevator. Quote
kitty Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I haven't been too excited about L4D2 even when it was announced but that trailer just got me interested. Quote
atmuh Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I haven't been too excited about L4D2 even when it was announced but that trailer just got me interested. uh how Quote
EdgeCrusher Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Just ignore atmuh. He got butthurt over the first l4d. Quote
kitty Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I've been around long enough to know atmuh is a huge douche/troll/whatever/not important enough to merit a response. Quote
big giant circles Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 I'm aware of this. I thought my lack of punctuation of any kind would have suggested as much back to the video, . Quote
Triad Orion Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 So. Very. Awesome. Looks very cool. Looking forward to it! Quote
Nicole Adams Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Okay, I changed my mind. (One of my Steam friends will send me his old GeForce 9800 GTX+ if I buy L4D 2.) Is anyone else up for the four pack? I need two more people. As a reminder, the price is $33.75 each. Quote
Powerlord Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 People who pre-ordered can now preload the L4D2 demo so you have it when it launches on Tuesday. Quote
Halt Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 People who pre-ordered can now preload the L4D2 demo so you have it when it launches on Tuesday. Its not letting me Edit, just a steam reboot fixed it. nevermind. Quote
Global-Trance Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Pre-loaded on Steam and ready to go for that demo! Okay, I changed my mind. (One of my Steam friends will send me his old GeForce 9800 GTX+ if I buy L4D 2.) Is anyone else up for the four pack? I need two more people. As a reminder, the price is $33.75 each. You don't talk to me anymore. :[ Also I hope you're just getting the 9800 GTX for free or dirt cheap. It's just an 8800 GTX with a die-shrink. Quote
Species8472 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I'm still looking at going in on a Left 4 Dead 2 4 pack. Quote
Nicole Adams Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I'm still looking at going in on a Left 4 Dead 2 4 pack. Cool, we would need one more person then. Is anyone else interested? Quote
EdgeCrusher Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Demo was delayed till 1 am EST. I can't wait to see the rage over this.... Quote
The Damned Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 I already have. Personal attacks on Gabe about his weight (classy move, dickasses), people half-sarcastically threatening to boycott the demo, self-appointed experts calling it a bad business move (you already bought the fucking game, so I don't see how), and various other stupid ideas. So, basically, the same as usual. Quote
atmuh Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 the should just wait until next week when they were going to let everyone play the demo anyways and just say ha ha morons we got you to buy the game Quote
Bahamut Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 It's a demo - why the hell are you going to complain? It's not like the game isn't coming out on the same day it was announced November 17, and it's not like the world is going to end because the demo came out one day late. People have too much of a sense of entitlement. Quote
The Damned Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 People have too much of a sense of entitlement. This. I honestly don't know where this reasoning comes from. Every game I have ever played, enjoyed or otherwise, I never got pissy because of "missing" content, or sequels coming out, or anything. I have to assume that this is some extension of the "instant satisfaction" mentality that people growing up with. I suspect that a lot of the whiners are 25 and under. Back in my day, if a game was pissing us off, we threw it against a wall. Quote
big giant circles Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I suspect that a lot of the whiners are 25 and under. Not necessarily. I think it's a mentality that's pretty much been adopted by all. Perhaps the biggest demographic for L4D is probably kids from 16-25, but the "I deserve everything I want on my own terms with little to nothing in return" attitude is kind of prevalent in most people these days. At least, most Americans I'd say. I'm really not entirely certain how the rest of the comparable world behaves, but I'd wager it's nowhere near as badly as us. Quote
The Damned Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 Well, I might amend that to "Westerners" in general. As a Canadian, I can't say that only Americans are in that group; I've seen lots of people who are from North America and Europe in on the bitching and complaining. Maybe it's because of the lack of translated articles and sites, but I haven't heard anything from Asian players. Mind you, I have no idea what the demographics are for Asians and Left 4 Dead, let alone gaming in general. EDIT: Oh, if you restart Steam or right-click and select "view pre-load info" on the demo, it states that there is a new Steam update. I wonder if there was some problem with the current build of Steam and the demo, and this is why there was a delay. I guess we'll find out tomorrow. Quote
