Anybody know what the deal is with the “L4D2 is a Walking Simulator” video?

[https://t.ly/Ygmki]

I’ve seen many videos “responding” to this certain video. I mean, most of them were no names but still. Why is this specific video getting so much hate? Anybody seen it?

[England is not a real country]

From what i´ve heard about people dicussing about the video,

it was about some guy saying that L4D2 sucks ass because is boring and how you spent most of your gameplay "walking" rather then being on constant "action" l

(Which is true for normal or easy , but for expert / realism is too much action that overloads your brain)

Then he said that B4B was better then L4D2...

Is that it? It’s just an opinion. There’s gotta be more to it than that.

Thinking the game is boring is also an opinion. Why are so many people crying over this guy’s opinion?

It is pretty much that he has the opinion that B4B is better then L4D2 , because according to him, L4D2 is boring and you spent most of the time , "walking" , compared to B4B where you spent most time "scavanging and fighting"

So thats why people were responding to him , he made this perculiar take and people got mad that he doesn´t like this game.

Wow, I didn’t know it was that easy to piss off the L4D community. Literally just say B4B is better and everyone will hate you. Weird.

B4B is kinda bad tho... I mean... I get it that he has his opinion , and i have mine,

But B4B fell off hard... Like very hard... The game was launched in 2021 , and in span of 1/2 years , the game litearlly died off... fell into obscurity.

No buts nor nothing... just died...

I mean look at the Avg. Players compared to 2021:

2024 : 4,925.6 active players
2021 : 29,702.4 active players

I agree. I played B4B once in the beta and went straight back to L4D, it’s not my type of game. But I’m not obsessed with the game to the point of making a video to explain why this one guy is wrong. He just prefers B4B, that’s it. I don’t get why it’s getting so much negative attention.

same type of guy who needs 1000 different transitions in a video to keep him watching. Nothing new, nothing special. he can have his own opinion since hes built like that, so i dont think the video needed that much response. (Though I never watched it so idk, maybe theres something else about the video that justifies the backlash).

L4D2 can be really stressful i do like those few minutes of just walking and taking a breather before you get overhelmed by more zombies

I think people were hating him because on his video , he made alot of contracting points about L4D2 , and he kept talking about B4B and how B4B is so much better then L4D2;

the video is just a way to S**t on l4d2 trying to argue b4b is better

a b4b player saw crowbats vid comparing l4d2 to b4b so he got the game in order to just prove the video wrong

containing some very bad takes saying its a walking sim because its all cinimatic and has no depth (looks like he only played the first 2 chapters of dead centre on easy/ normal at that)

saying more is better (more specials (even tho 1 special type has like 3 varients) ) and even contredicts himself later when he brings up the ammount of campaign choice being confusing

and other things like trash talking on the games director system "giving the illusion of difficulty" (meaning easy and expert are the same) due to the lack of research into it

also the main reason l4d is a walking sim is because of how cinimatic the commons are and taking dev comentery out of context trying to argue they intended the game to play like a movie

not to mention he said some dumb stuff that doesnt even make any sense like valve solution to the b4b shop problem was just not to add one even tho l4d2 released way before b4b

too lazy to go point by point but i hope that paints the picture, the take has no genuine thought put into it and was just his attempt to trash on l4d2 without any understanding of the game or its mechanics

TL:DR

smoovers (someone who plays and enjoys b4b) saw crowbats vid criticising b4b and the ammount of comparrisons made in it, so he made an entire vid just to combat it making horrible arguments to why l4d2 is inferior

which contains arguments like more is better (more weapons more charecters more specials) or how l4d2 lacks things like weapon attachments so all the weapons feel like the same

its a video that doesnt just criticise l4d2 its poor attempt to hate on l4d2

I haven't seen that video, but from what I've heard, seems like the video is akin to you going to an ant nest and poking a stick in it, then opening up the nest. You know that's not gonna lead to anything good, it's disturbing the beast.
