Whats so great about left 4 dead?

I've seen some videos of the gameplay and it looks like **** for an fps game. I think the game is an easy flop to call and thats what I'm expecting. I don't understand why its listed by some as a great exclusive because I don't think its much of an exclusive for any console based off of what I've seen. Why buy this BS when you can buy Far Cry 2 or some other great fps game?Whats so great about left 4 dead?
VALVe + FPS + Zombies

If you don't understand the awesomeness of that combination you won't understand why Left 4 Dead is awesome.

[/QUOTE]Combination still = graphics that look like ****Why buy it over far cry 2? At least when I see Resistance 2 it looks like a decent to good fps game and at least it offers something some what unique with a 60 man online play. With Left 4 dead I don't see anything and the graphics look terrible. Like I said why not buy a better fps game come this fall or if your looking for survival horror wait for the sure thing with RE5 which I think comes out spring but not sure.

[/QUOTE]nailed it on the 1st post/thread
Valve is so overrated nowadays -_-

Left 4 dead is just another zombie shooter. However, It looks more realistic... well, as realistic as a game in which you shoot zombies and explode their heads can be. :P

It looks pretty good, and the shotgun in that game sounds like it comes with a pair of .. uhh.. ''man dangly-bits'' firmly attached to it. In other words, it sounds very awesome.

Anyway, outside of that, valve fanboys are hyping it to high heaven. As are 360 fanboys because its a 360 exclusive (currently, however, I have a feeling it will probably go to PS3 as well, if rumors are correct)

Co-op zombie killing fun.
Does the word Valve mean anything to you?

[/QUOTE]I never said I wanted the game because I don't. I don't give a **** about Valve or any other developer. I'm fair weather fan that calls the shots as I see them. If I think a game looks like **** compared to the competition I'm not afraid to say so and thats the case with this game. I don't think left 4 dead will turn out to be half the game that Far Cry 2 is. And if this so great developer called ''Valve'' is so great then why don't the graphics look as good as Far Cry 2 or even close to it?

It has some cool things in the game that you can do look moving objects like something out of star wars referred to as the force. The graphics in half life 2 were good and it was an alright game based off of what I played of it. Systems I own include ps3 and pc.
So this is basically about graphics and not gameplay? Since you keep mentioning graphics as the reason to buy FC2.
Is this a thread properly outlining criticisms, because all I've seen is him saying it doesn't look as good graphically as Far Cry 2.The main quality of Left 4 Dead is the AI director. It adds an intensity to the game while taking away the repetition and predictability. You never know where the zombies are coming from or how many will spawn. The game monitors your performance and tailors the experience based on that. Couple that with how reliant it is on co-op (Valve developers have died in demonstrations because one squad member messed around) and you have a damn promising game. If your only concern is that it doesn't look as good graphically as Far Cry 2, then I don't really know what to say to you.
