My take on Back 4 Blood, ...it sucks!

[BatSithCrazy]

If you are going to be making your pre-purchase decision of L4D hype and hoping with excitement for a L4D3. You will be severely disappointed.

And ...you are heavily disillusioned if you think that you are getting “gameplay,” “game-flow,” or a game-loop similar, or better than previous franchise, you are in for a very harsh awaking.

Back 4 Blood plays nothing like Left 4 Dead, or Left 4 Dead 2.

First, the stamina limitations in Back 4 Blood, utterly breaks game-flow, because your stamina is used for running and melee, you can’t do both.

Imagine taking the stamina system out of (Dead Island) and adding it into a Left 4 Dead game. That is what Back 4 Blood has done. L4D is a quick on your feet arcade-fps experience, and B4B turns it into a dull and slow, rusty-swamp, it just does not work.

Remember the butter-cream-smooth MELEE, with huge splatter impacts. It’s GONE in Back 4 Blood, the melee kills have ZERO, Nada, no MEATY sound IMPACT with infused splatter sounds.

Another point in the melee system, normally in L4D & 2. Your secondary button had a push back ability together with your melee hit. This is not the case in, B2B. You only get a soft slap, which does nothing to the Ridden.

Yes, you did read it correctly, there are no ZOMBIES in Back 4 Blood, THEY ARE RIDDEN! Let that sink in for moment. You are playing a “L4D clone” where the actual zombies, ARE NOT CALLED zombies.

Talk about major fail, just on that point alone!

So how is the gore in Back 4 Blood, you ask? ...well, ever heard of "La Tomatina", it's a RED TOMATO THROWING FESTIVAL, the kind you see on Spanish TV. It looks just like that in Back 4 blood, utter rubbish. The red colour ketchup is thrown all around, for the sake of red, Red …ReED, JUST PAINT IT ALLLL REEEED, MORE REEEEEED!

Do not get me started on the poor animations, substandard dismemberments (where most hits're not registered on models), and low quality audio. It’s just not on par with L4D.

Do you want the raw truth?

The amount of development time and money spent on the (Card system) should have been allocated to develop something all players would have wanted, a (Co-Op Versus).

Nobody asked for a “Star Wars Battlefield Card-System” in a Zombie FPS, especially one that is mimicking the Left 4 Dead Franchise.

All that L4D gamers really wanted was a (Co-Op Versus), and a (New Single player Campaign).

If you ask us, we want quality, not quantity. Left 4 Dead 2 has fewer special Zombies, and even fewer weapons, but they feel good to use and play. Back 4 Blood has more of everything, doesn’t mean its better. Less is more if done right.

And Back 4 Blood has a long way to go before it’s worth 60 dollars, no way is it worth 100 dollars. At this point it’s a 30-dollar game. Want me to be generous, MAX 45-dollar game, and that’s stretching it.

I wont mention all the shady stuff, with DLC, Micro or season pass, and skins being thrown at the player, before the game is even out.

Back 4 Blood, need to be in the oven for another year of development, minimum. If you buy it on the October release date, you will be disappointed on how lacklustre it will be.

I don't agree with all your points, but it's a fairly well-written criticism.

The one bone I'd have to pick... complaining that they're called "Ridden" instead of "Zombies"? You count that as a "major fail"? It's just a word, man.

I think regardless of the game, it's kind of annoying how everyone wants to call zombies anything but zombies. It's like saying. "If it walks like a dog, talks like a dog, it must be a potato."

This point I agree with. What exactly is the problem with developers these days that they do not want to use the word zombie. Are they all trying to be special snowflakes?

I feel there is a gender gap among the undead... wish should add more dead feminist, that would even things up! :)

i blame the publisher for this mess.

[Cronik]

We badly need Valve to make another l4d 3 and then this game will be forgotten.

Turtle Rock will not come back after this one.

Agree, worthless.

Here is something they don’t tell you, some characters in the “BETA” are behind locked “ingame currency,” imagine now making money off that concept.

RAINBOW SIX SIEGE anyone? Instead of operators, now you have “survivors” with different skills and cards! OMG!! If this happens, you ppl are in for a ride.

LIVE SERVICE everyone... come and get it! APEX style.

Friendly reminder that an indie company gave you a better L4D experience, without even using zombies. Deep rock Galactic, a originally 15 dollar early access title, turned 30 dollars full release, still doing free updates, still doing lots of changes, has weekly events, a community guild system etc. Yet we have a supposed "Professional" dev here charging double the price for less?

[BatSithCrazy]

Thats a very, very good point Kashra Fall. The value proposition is just not here at the current price point.
