I'm sold. Being the only person left fighting a tank, putting 6 clips in him only 2 have him pick up a block of broken concrete and throw it at my dome. Pure win.

I wish it didn't have the TF2 ice skater movement, especially for the close quarters stuff, but other than that, it's good times.
360 demo was amazing, I wanna play expert but the g/f is like normal is hard enough. This day 1, Mirror's edge for xmas or something.
I wanna finally give this a test run here in a bit. See if it's as good as everyone is saying and if it will actually be able to pull me away from Gears 2 for a bit.
omg download faster on-campus steam
ps fuck live
jesus expert is really hard. We had a pretty decent team I think, and couldn't get to the end.
OK, played the demo finally. I'm sold. I will be getting this for the 360 as I do not have a PC to run it on.
The 360 port is really well made. Looks great, runs really well and the controls are adapted as well as you could ask for. Teamwork like a mother fucker in this game.
The range for the smoker is completely broken though. I mean, from the top of a roof to the street? Around blind corners?
That's what makes him so scary!
The worst isn't the smoker anyway, it's running into a Boomer around a blind corner. Or, you know, running into a tank. Ever. You really have to pay attention to the sound to know what's ahead.
The smoker range could be really obnoxious in versus mode though. And I don't know how you'll be able to kill a tank that acts intelligently.
This is easily one of the most intense things I've ever played. I knew it would be good, but I was still blown away the first time I saw a swarm running down a hallway at me. I'll be picking this up for the 360. Good games last night Joe & Cap, sorry my connection shit the bed at the end there.
This is the truth. It was NEVER the smoker who killed us. It was always a horde or a tank. But even after getting hit by a boomer though we could make it out relatively unscathed as long as we had team work. Those tanks though, fucking impossible to kill, and I'm convinced they can't be killed on Expert (that is until I see one die).Quote:

You need to get a molotov on him fucking stat, and just unload clips, and try to get him to go after different people by line of sighting him.Quote:

But no you gotta lure him into a spot where he'll have to be coming directly at you a hallway or train (don't be in those yourself though).
Also we had a witch right in the middle of the fucking train that was fun. I just told everyone to start shooting the bitch, we did, then a smoker got me, and a hunter got someone else and the horde came.
That shit don't work! We had a molotov on him, plus I unloaded 6 clips while Cow unloaded what had to be another few with his shotgun. The fucker still didn't go down. He just smashed Cow to bits and then turned to me and threw the concrete block at me. And the other enemy that will kill you in this game more than any other one is your own god damn team. Seriously, we must have had more damage done to us by each other than by any of the enemies combined.Quote:

I need to play with 3 other people to see what the fuss is all about. Playing alone and then with Cap, I came away with a meh feeling.
KOF - I think Sinista, Netwurked and I are gonna try this out tonight if you want in.
Were you playing on Expert?Quote:

Sorry for playing on the system with better control, free content, and modding options. Let me go cripple my leg too so I can participate in the special Olympics as well.Quote:

All while you're shooting them and watching your teammates try and clear them out in order to save you.Quote:

But I wasn't trying to bring that up at the time.
My PC can't run it. So myeah.
Also I'm totally awful with KB+M anyway. :(
What's awesome is you can use your 360 controller on the PC version.
Though I haven't checked I don't know if PC players can play with 360 players. Fuck if that were the case there would be little to no excuse for most assholes lol.
I like this game alot.Quote:

Nice, also yeah this is one of the most optimized games I've ever played.
if anyone is needing another to join get at me i'd love to play some co-op on this :)
I didn't play TF2 but I will play this. If you don't all sell your copies in three days, we will be good. One advantage the PC version has is that the games are worth 3 dollars in a week so no one gets rid of them.
asstards
Do it, Jed might be a slim possibility but Brad is dead as far as games are concerned. I was playing this last night with JM (Latro) and we had a fucking blast. I think we are playing again tonight so be sure to download it and jump in.Quote:

No worries man, we ended up finding a fourth. I'll definitely be on tonight, most likely playing Mirror's Edge, but send me an invite and I'll join.
I'd like to play with 3 others tonight. I've only played with 2 others for about 10 min, so I'd like to get the full experience.
This game is amazing and if you don't like it you're not a good person.
It's unreal that this game runs well enough (lol) on my PC. Seems better optimized than TF2. Helps that it isn't competitive.
My runthrough on normal was a little bland, yeah. Kinda just made me with I was playing Svencoop.
Make no mistake, I started getting into it on Expert. I look forward to playing the demo more tonight, and on better PCs.
I LOVE the idea of this, but I'm allergic to first person games. D: D:
Joe, I forgot I have a birthday dinner to go to tonight. I'll be on later, but it may be too late for you. Jed says he is getting his live account back up soon, so L4D and gears will most likely be on the agenda. =)
That's cool bro, if I'm not still on when get home I'll just catch you tomorrow or whenever else is a good time to play. It's good to hear that Jed is looking to get on again. I'm still waiting for him to reply to my PM about it. I think I scared him off when I started e-stalking him about liking creamy peanut butter. :lol:
I'm looking to get a game going on live if anyone else is up for it, join up.
I'm definitely in.
Let's do it up. Kev is gonna be on in a minute too, anyone else?
Shoot me an invite when you have the game up.
cannot decide PC or 360?!!!
PS2!
I don't know how anyone can act like the versions are equal given the modding possibilities of the PC version.
I don't care about modding possibilities. I rather play a new game than go play mods. But that's just me.
OK, then how about the free content updates? Compare TF2 on 360 vs PC.
I'll play this demo if one of you wants to.
So yeah, the demo pretty much sold me on this game.
I'M GOING TO GET IT ON 360 HAHA
Finally completed expert with Cap, Razor, and Praxis. Only one of us made it.
This thread is going to be awesome when the new boss zombies/weapons/survivors/campaigns are released.
A further game with Pineapple devolved into everyone shooting each other lol.
Now think, there are 3 more areas JUST in that chapter.Quote:

I must say this game is fucking fun and I believe how a zombie game should be done!
I don't know why anyone would prefer to get this on the 360. I feel sorry for those who have to get it for 360 out of necessity. But to want that version? Have fun, I guess.
I feel sorry for your mom.
Anyway, fun game with 4 ppl on expert. We had some holy shit moments that were just hilarious. I might have to trade in some stuff to pick this up.
The only benefit I can see is that MANY more people on the 360 version have and use mics, which adds a hell of a lot.Quote:

[RE defense]If it controlled too well it wouldn't be survival horror![/RE defense]
i tried the pc demo, comp won't run it well.
Some games are obviously PC and obviously console specific, to me, and I can't really tell you why.
Actually, some clues come from the UI. Does it use really big fucking things (console) or tiny microscopic numbers (PC)? Does the control feel natural on a keyboard, where you can map to a million keys or is it a shitty port of a console game with 6 buttons? The best example of this is I can remember off the top of my head is Oblivion = console title because of the giant text, UI, and gamepad inspired spell system.
Bioshock = console
Left4Dead, Half Life 2, Portal = PC
I can just look and know what it's for.
How about the cheats right now? The PC demo has a way of doing 2v2.Quote:

It's good with a bind like t or o.
I have bound it to t.
If you want to bind it to o because you MUST spray, then type this on the console:
bind o thirdpersonshoulder
Otherwise
bind t thirdpersonshoulder
THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU PRESS T OR O (depends on which of the two codes above you selected) YOU'LL GET THIS THIRD PERSON VIEW AND IF YOU PRESS IT AGAIN YOU GO BACK TO FIRST PERSON
ALSO IF YOU SHOOT AND YOUR CHARACTER SHOOTS A BIT MORE TO THE RIGHT THAN THE CROSSHAIR THEN TYPE cam_idealyaw -1
BUT IF YOU SHOOT AND YOUR CHARACTER SHOOTS A BIT MORE TO THE LEFT THAN THE CROSSHAIR THEN TYPE cam_idealyaw 1
Couldn't have said it better. And those examples are exactly in line with the platforms I played each on as well. It's not just about preferring kb/mouse (..or vice versa); some games just offer an experience better designed for one or the other. Another example: Fallout 3 = console.
Edit: damn it Mech. This post in reference to Mzo's (on iPhone right now, can't copy/paste :p)
Played the demo last night as well. Its pretty awesome how there are so many zombies on screen at one time. I hit the car alarm on purprose, and the one guy is like "here they come!" and its a huge clusterfuck. It's like being in 28 Days Later. So cool.
Fallout 3 is still best on a PC, though I agree that it was designed with consoles in mind.Quote:

I dunno. It's still 99.99% objective when it comes to PC/Console. Granted, there are some games that a majority of people would enjoy more on the PC rather than on console. At the same time, a lot of games are just as fun on either. I originally bought the Orange Box on the PC and loved it, but when I got rid of my computer, I got it for the 360 and felt it was just as good. I haven't played L4D on the PC, but I can say that I've enjoyed the hell out of the demo and seriously doubt that my enjoyment would hardly be increased, if at all, over playing it on the 360.Quote:

gonna PO the 360 version since i can get it for ~38 bucks w coupon, and prob pick up the PC version when its ~25 or so in a few months

Now, I don't even have a PC to play the PC version, but the point still stands that fun is fun and it really doesn't matter how you play the game except to stuck up dumbasses who feel they have to try to make themselves better than everyone else.Quote:

But there are cases like Bioshock where the differences are minimal enough so as to not matter. Yes, games like Fallout and Oblivion are terrible examples (the latter had a new UI and a million enhancements before the first month was up), but it's not always just people trying to make up bullshit reasons like PCs costing as much as a new car.Quote:

Maybe some of us don't need the graphics to be 5% better, mods, etc. Some just want to play the game for what it is then move on.Quote:
