Genuinely asking, how does this game still go undefeated in its genre? It came out almost 2 decades ago, what are game devs doing?
>>
>>740991318
Devs are too focused on coding in the tranny quests where the main character finds out how there are no genders
>>
>>740991318
What genre? Co-op zombie shooter? RE5 mogs it.
>>
>join versus
>get kicked
>>
>>740991318
deep rock galactic surpassed it long ago
>>
Character dynamics in back 4 blood were complete garbage they managed to do it perfectly in both left 4 dead’s
>>
the gunplay is dogshit, about on par with the rest of half life games, no idea what the fuss is about. Guess the zombie ai/animations is quality though.

Kek, I tried to play this for the first time in over a decade a while back and they kept kicking me because I didn't know what I was doing. Oh well.
>>
>>740991318
Because most of everything that comes out in this genre is low quality slop except for Fatshark's Tide games. Too bad Fatshark are a bunch of stupid jews who ruin their games with obscene cash shops and terribly designed progression mechanics.

This is one of the few times where I end up agreeing with that retard Emil and Todd. Keep it simple stupid!
>>
>>740993673
I used to just run at survivors until I get the hunter and sit on it for a 25 damage pounce. Rarely get kicked.
>>
>>740991318
Vermintide 2 was better.
>>
>>740991318
Undefeated is very much debatable. But the reason it's still played so much is because any at all functioning computer can run it. Poorfags got priced out of gaming a decade ago.
>>
>>740993842
All the tide games are better than L4D. The Killing Floor games are as well, yes even KF3 is better than L4D.
>>
>>740991318
Incredibly unpopular opinion: it's really fucking boring. Fun to play through once and that's it. All there is after is mods (don't count) and speedrunning (gay). No replay value, nothing interesting to find or do differently. Got it for 5 bucks and it's merely okay.
>>
>>740991318
Coz it's made by Valve, coz it's "just" a good zombie shooter. It just works, it's fun.
>>
>>740994004
>mods and speedrunning is the only options
That's what you get for being a fag.
>>
>>740994004
It was cool when it was new. Two decades ago. But much better games have come along since.
>>
>>740992770
Should've been faster
>>
>>740995302
Good one, I also like to join realism mode on hard servers and team kill the players that are literally close to safe house. Got so much steam hatemail from that.
>>
>>740991318
L4d2 is better.

There's simply nothing like it. It is heads and tails thanks to its verticality.

Okay, where are they.
>>
>>740994004
>No replay value, nothing interesting to find or do differently
I guess we played different games them. I played No Mercy alone a double digit number of times.
>>
the closest I've seen someone come to the game recently is some upcoming indie game that relies on proximity voicechat and splitting the party up. could be some good friendslop at worst. (it's called SAFE INSIDE on steam)

>>740991318
for me, it comes down to the zombies and how much damage you can visibly deal to them individually.

>>740995302
fucking kek

>>740994004
for me, it's a comfort game, and really atmospheric. I replay all of the campaigns once per year during spooktober (horror themed october).

Examples of games that are better than L4D.

Could add Spacemarine 2 to that list

Not even including my L4D1 hours:

Left 4 Dead is a TERRIBLE coop game, and if you like it as a coop game, you're a genuine retard (which would describe the average Valve fanboy). It's too simplistic unless you're playing Versus, which is where L4D is at its peak. (I prefer the way scoring works in 1 but everyone moved onto 2)
>>
>>741000241
the simplicity is what makes it possible to play with randoms. everyone just wants to shoot some zombies while enjoying their mods.
