Um, actually, this game is super fun and I'm glad I bought it

[humblehome]

Maybe I'm the only one but I think it's a super fun game.

There are legitimate complaints that can be made about any game. But reading the discussions I sometimes feel like there are a lot of people out there who are never going to be happy no matter what.

Is it overpriced? Well, figure it out. How much it is costing you per hour, based on the total number of hours of enjoyment you are going to get out of it? For me, it's easily worth it. Of course, if buying this game means that you won't have enough money to pay the rent or something like that, then it's not worth the money. But if you are comparing it to what other kinds of entertainment you can get for the same price, seems like a good deal to me.

I'm there with ya bud. I'm having a ton of fun playing and think the game is great. I'm loving trying different builds and in general just improving at the game.

[Memorizzi]

Amen, love this game!

[phlux]

Yeah i like the game as well. It sure has a few problems but nothing special for a game that just released.
And i think there are alot of people liking the game and just not visiting the forums because why would they?
The rage bubble that has build up in the forums is really impressive and people do their best to talk this game to death.
But i think player numbers look pretty good so far, still steam top 100 and i assume that's not even a huge margin of the total player base.
People just love to hate in echo chambers :D

[YMD]

its just that a vocal minority keep spamming these forums with hate and toxicity. And most of them are from accounts that don't even own the game. So it is definitely sus

[Pocahawtness]

I couldn't disagree more.
It's really not that "some people will never be happy". The game badly balanced, too hard, and frustrating.
What the devs seem to have missed is that the majority of players do not have a bunch of friends to play with and even if they do, can't play with them all the time. Players need to be able to solo progress the game and very importantly play with randoms.
This has been aired many times by gamers but some folks, particularly the devs just don't want to listen. Thing is that you have to keep the majority happy or the game dies, and that's exactly what is happening. The numbers speak for themselves. The game is attracting only half the players of L4D2, a game that is now twelve years old.

recruit = fun, Veteran = fun+challenging till ACT3, Nightmare randome que = Masochist

See.. they cling to this idea that B4B has less players than L4D2 just to get affirmation.
That's clearly not the case if you think about it for just a second but still they keep bringing it up regardless of how often you explain to them why it's nonsense.
We just have to wait until they all find a new thing to hate so this forum gets usable again.

As you say the game is dead guys, there is no reason to keep spamming the forums about it.
Move on.

So your entire argument against what I said is "oh, it's hate, see?". Lol! The fact is the some people are just living in denial.

And I think people do hang on to the forum because it is a huge shame the devs dropped the ball in the final stages. It could have been a great game and nearly was... but as it is, it just isn't.

All we want is a balanced game, i really dont get how someone are happy when you brought a zombie game but you got sonic the game clone, running is not fun,and if the players are using lots of exploits is because the game is not balanced. The fault is the game design and its a bit embarrasing see they have problems to adjust spawning since they make the code... And like someone said not everybody have 4 friends always online to play this game.

You're in the minority there bruv. And while I do respect your opinion, I have a majority of people have higher standards than you so it might not be fun for them.

No dude... my entire argument was that the steam numbers of L4D2 and B4B are not comparable because B4B is played on a number of different systems and for L4D2 you have the complete player base in the steam numbers.
There you have it, i explained it again, and i'm sure you will still refuse that fact and act like B4B has less total players than L4D2.
Speaking of denial my friend, you can lol as much as you want.

They know the only way to have a higher playerbase is doing crossplay, but this is a shoot in the foot too because with this they take to long to roll corrections since they need to get ok from xbox and sony thats why they all get hate from Pc players and its a slow process , and the damage is done , this "server side" patch never work.

The game is a lot of fun. It has some issues that seem to be getting addressed slowly but surely, but the core is solid. You would think it's the worst game ever made the way this forum in particular seems to talk about it though. There's like 5 people here who're utterly obsessed with hating this game.

[The Grotesque Abomination]

I’ve played the game since pre-launch, through three different iterations, and I still love it. Is it challenging? On Veteran and Nightmare, yes. But we have so many cards and strategies, and that’s the fun part. I’ve done Veteran but I’m currently stuck on the Bad Seeds stretch to Act II on Nightmare. Hard to get a good team all on the same page.

Ahhh the old dollar per hour justification, i see. Too bad thats a terrible way to measure value. Do you measure food you buy by the same standard? How about the things you watch? How about the music you listen too? If you drive, how about the price of your car against the amount of time you spend in your car versus the price of the car against the amount of time the car is spent parked? Context is important to be sure, but the dollar per hour played justification is literally just that, a way for people to justify their purchase not the end all be all metric to determining the value of a product.

Lol have fun with your trash tier game though :D I too am a connoisseur of trash tier games. Though id be damned if i ever paid full price for any of mine, wincing at the thought.
