Please buy L4d2 for 2$ over the abominaiton B4b for 60$

[LexCondran]

i mean honestly, for 60$ you can get 30 copies and share those.
or that "thing" whatever it is, can waste a hole in your pocket just the same.
--
the people defending it are kind of the reason garbage like this gets put out there. "it'll get better with time" bleh bleh bleh, a games launch is the first and last impact almost every game has, and this games beta is basically the finished product people will get on day 1, and what you get is an inferior abomination trying to sell itself on the name of a better older game that actually functions, and is enjoyable.

the people that defend this trash are why games have gotten so bad, all this random crap they forced into the game make it so slow and unfun to play. its not streamlined, its bogged down.

the copper, card, stamina, trauma systems are all bad, the guns sound like airsoft, the bot ai is inept, the versus mode is unbalance unfun and unfinished just like the campaigns are too long and awfully worthless, the specials do not feel special and have no character. the world just feels like trash, the atmosphere feels very budget but plays like a cheap CoD game.

it could be fixed, but that would take actual care on the part of the devs. its just dumb how people cannot see why it sucks. it doesnt even have a stable frame rate to shoot the overly tanky common infected in. but these past 10 years of games that come out, all suffer from corporate interference. warner bro's kinda ruined anything they touched. valve games all felt so polished compared to whatever soulless machine cranked out this thing.

I'm sorry you can't afford B4B but, the good news, Steam sales happen often.
Just wait and before you know it... sale! (^.-)
Until then enjoy L4D2.

Everyone wins!

Someone doesn't understand that products freshly off the production lines are priced rather high every time.

I admit that I do not dislike the back 4 blood I have tried it and I liked it, but in fact seeing the physics comparisons made me buy the left 4 dead 2, surely I also bought the back 4 blood but when it is cheap and it is a worthy successor , because it has a long way to go to get to the bottom of the shoes.

In fact, he has fully opened my eyes with all the good decisions and how active left 4 dead 2 continues and that already makes me deeply happy.

Nowadays most people have such a huge backlog they can wait before purchasing a fresh product unless it's a game you have to have and even then gmg or other websites will usually have it at $45 or so.

2 dollars L4D2 have thousands time more contents than a 60 bucks b4b ever have. We have workshop and community. B4B doesn’t

It's just the Product Life Cycle.

The OP doesn't seem to know that concept in business.
"Early Adopters" will pay because there's excitement in being first (for some).

Whenever Apple has a "new" iPhone some people can't wait to have it.
Others don't see any improvements that warrant the increased cost.

Same here.
Appealing to early adopters with respect to savings is a lost cause.
You don't understand them if that's the approach. They don't care about $60.

And that's the fascinating part of all these posts.
People with no understanding of business (certainly not software) are making emotional appeals based on THEIR preferences (not the preferences of their audience).
Yet, the emotional appeals continue. (^.^)

"I can't spend $60 so you shouldn't!"

You won't sell an idea to an audience you don't understand. Wasted energy.

were all broke as a joke, but steam always has our backs with a 75-90% discount.
but the issue is having 500 games in your steam library, and only enough time to play 1. which is the funny thing about the "gaming addiction" epidemic.

people fork out 65-200$ for abominations from triple A scam devs, and are hugely dissapointed when they realize, the game stinks hard.

i hate how we cant rreall get refunded for half the garbage we buy from the game industry, its all digital marketplaces now, just a shell of a game, sold to you to sell more mtxs to you that you honestly dont need. indie is the future, or retro i guess.

l4d2 > b4b
however,
b4b has potential w/ patches.
imo w/ 1500+/hoursPlayed, b4b is not at $60 game $40 max as a lot of content in b4b is recycled l4d sequences and WorldWarZ and other's work. Honestly it's like I was playing WorldWarZ 2 then a "Spiritual successor" to l4d.

You mean those console players who pay $70? Oh or the ones who pay for gold and platinum edition like $100-$120?

i would, but i want a game where people cant kick me for being bad

I wish to be 100% fair to Back 4 Blood at the risk of sounding biased, with the disclaimer that I am not here to fuel the fire.

But you're judging a game based off of the beta release, which was intended to be only a small taste of the game as well as a attempt to find and punch out any balance issues and bugs that may have hidden in the game. The Beta's length is only 8 of the 16 levels of the first "Act" (or campaign) and there's expected to be more come the full release. 3 of such acts at least in fact, assuming they don't break the acts down to combat some of the issues that spawned with such a long campaign length.

Plus.... it was a beta. it's not going to be perfect. And a ton of bugs and exploits were discovered, hence the purpose of such a thing. (Racist zombies due to unlucky sound mixing, zombies deciding not to spawn at the finale, bots setting off stuff at unwelcome times, etc.) And unlike most early-access games, it didn't just sell the beta and try to leave it at that, to its credit. So with any luck and logic, they will have fixed most of those issues by full release of the game.

Also sorry to say but..... game devs need to eat. And game development isn't cheap. so 60 for a video game is reasonable these days. Especially in a era where a video game can sink more hours into your day then a movie. And we are already having a bit of a problem going on due to a indie game dev being forced to leave the industry indefinitely (hopefully not) due to people exploiting the 2 hour refund policy on steam to get their money back despite it being a good game. No more need to fuel the flames further with a skewed idea on modern video game costs.
