Left 4 Dead 2 First Review by OXM

TMC: Metacritic.com is now listing what seems to be the first review of the highly anticipated apocalyptic zombie shooter Left 4 Dead 2. Even thou the game was criticized when it was shown at last E3 Valve seems to have another winner in their hand with this sequel.

The Official Xbox Magazine gave Left 4 Dead 2 a 9.5/10. Here's what they had to say.

"An undisputable improvement over its predecessor in every way, and it steals its own crown as best co-op game on the Xbox. It's chainsaw-twirlingly good. [Holiday 2009, p.64] "

"Thanks, but I'll get the definitive version on PC!!"

HILARIOUS.

They don't even buy their own exclusives, but they're going to buy Left4Dead2 on PC. I laugh at them all the time. They think that XBOX360 lovers care about them on this site. XBOX players are too busy buying games and playing them. Look at October NPD.

No one cares Sony Fanboys. NO ONE.

LOL...

Bumpmapping5278d ago

*Looks at NPD*

Oh I see Uncharted 2 was highest selling game for October....Xtards really need to start supporting Halo:ODST more seems like it doesn't have long enough legs for retail.

Cyrax_875278d ago

How could Forza outsell Uncharted when Uncharted was the highest selling game in October? I think you're looking at the wrong NPD...

Darkeyes5278d ago

Hey Cliffy.... Uncharted 2 537K and Flopza 175K fail harder bot!!!!

TheTruth20095278d ago (Edited 5278d ago )

They have no ammo.
They just divert attention to another topic instead of staying ON TOPIC.
They're not man enough to respond accordingly.
Instead, they want to silence you. Cowards.

Here's their Greatest Hits:
RROD. Old news.
XBOX360 Console Exclusives released on PC. No one cares.
XBOX360 has no games.

They are blazing mad that Microsoft has replaced Sony as the preferred console this generation.

And here's the worst part:
XBOX360 has the highest attach rate and a much younger fanbase. They'll convert right over to XBOX720.

Sony Fanboys are angry and frustrated. They should be.

Now go and play those supposed "Triple A Exclusives this year".

Oh wait... Isn't a "Triple A Game" 90+ on Metacritic?

Nevermind then.

Ratchet and Stank. Nope.
Semons Souls. Miss.
God of War Rehash. Missed again.
Unfarted Too. Great reviews, a million in sales. Flop.

And they all (or will) sold like crap too.

Sorry Sony Kids. It's over. Go and watch Matlock and let the youngsters play the games.

Losers. LOL!

CliffyB5278d ago

Forza Motorsport was released at the end of October. So you are comparing a few days sales of Forza to almost three weeks of Uncharted sales. Look at the latest weekly numbers. Forza outselling Uncharted. Next up Left4dead to outsell Uncharted.

PopEmUp5278d ago

just look at the sale for both games of their first week, can you see which one sell more/less?

TheTruth20095278d ago

Every XBOX360 game will outsell Uncharted 2 this holiday.
They know it.
Why?
They don't buy games. Hello?

Modern Warfare 2 has already surpassed 7 MILLION in sales.
A 95 on Metacritic.
2 Million players on XBOX Live.
But Sony Fanboys try to downplay and criticize the game.

HILARIOUS!

Again, Sony Fanboys... NO ONE CARES.

Uncharted 2 is long forgotten. Just like the PS3.

But BluRay is AWESOME! :-)

CliffyB5278d ago

You're right. I am wasting my time. Xbox 360 games always outsell their Ps3 multiplatform counterparts (unless it's some obscure japanese RPG or fighting game) and 360 exclusives always outsell Ps3 exclusives. Halo 3 over 10 million, Gears 1 and 2 over 5 million Fable 2 over 3 million. Can Ps3 match those numbers? NO. Goodnight, Goodbye.

Strange_Evil5278d ago

lol Hey cliffy.... GT5P 4.17 million sold Flopza 2 can't even beat the definitive sims DEMO LMFAO... Oh Mass Effect sold 2 million on 360 so flop according to bot logic eh? And UC2 first week outsold Flopza 3 first week spin that.

And a bot talking to himself on his multiple account and consoling himself awww cho sweet.

Isaac5278d ago

Xtards are typing "LOL" and crying at the same time hahahahaha

Stryfeno25278d ago

What the hell is an Uncharted? Is it a cure for the swine flu?

zdudynot5278d ago

Shockin, thats when you know you need to get a life.
BTW who cares about sales anyway! WE ALL KNOW THE BEST GAME THIS YEAR IS MODERN WARFARE 2 BECAUSE OF THE ONLINE ALTHOUGH UNCHARTED IS THE BEST SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCE EVER (CEPT FOR HALF LIFE 2 ORANGE BOX)

BTW Xbox has some features i would like on ps3 but for variety and functionality.

WildArmed5278d ago

just for the record.. most PC 'gamers' are pirates.. so you shouldnt worry about PS fanboys 'buying' L4D2 on Pc lol lol =p

Anywayz, Played the demo a few weeks back. The game hasnt changed much (thats a good thing). Will pick this up right after I'm done with Uncharted 2. I loved the Versus mode in L4D.. and I'm expecting some more love from L4D2 VS mode. (Boomer ftw!)

Another AAA title for the Xbox360

Mista T5278d ago

and PC....
blame Microsoft who don't have exclusive 1st party games for 360 when they usually have developers who are devoted mostly to PC gaming

kissmeimgreek5278d ago

okay... cuz MS a PC company supports both platforms... Sony only has to support the playstation. MS wants to fully support both PC and xbox.

iron_sheik5278d ago

just wait for more reviews

the game will be shafted for not much of an improvement over the original. exclusive reviews are always over the top. This wont score 90% at metacritic

LOLPSN5278d ago

another AAA

Damn Droids is going to be Mad

Hope PSN works for MW2

iron_sheik5278d ago

this is not an AAA. just wait for more reviews. the game will gets 8s and 9s mostly. also ps3 had 3 aaas this year including the highest rated JRPG at metacritic -89% for demon souls

the game is on PC too and could be played for free there so not really

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN43d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit43d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead42d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica42d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL42d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit42d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper42d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica40d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer43d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit43d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer43d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit42d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218342d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer42d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218342d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper42d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal43d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood43d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218342d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde42d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Valve Made Left 4 Dead 2 Because The First Game Was A Broken Mess

Left 4 Dead lead Chet Faliszek describes the original Left 4 Dead game as "such a broken thing that nobody wanted to touch it."

Number1TailzFan154d ago

And then couldn't be arsed to make a third game.

If they can add a lot more stuff to a 2nd game in just 1 year why didn't they make a third game a few years later with tons of stuff extra? Because that shows they could've.

I know Source 2 was kind of broken and was a reason they cancelled L4D3 but it seems wasteful to just toss it away.

Don't know what Valve were thinking.. it's like nobody wanted to fix the issues to get going. They certainly aren't the Valve of 2004 that released fun games with pretty cutting edge graphics.

cthulhucultist153d ago

Valve is allergic to number 3 it seems. It would be easier for them to release a Left 4 Dead 2.5 enhanced version instead of releasing a game with "3" slapped on its title.

rakentaja152d ago

They stopped making games a long time ago. Steam brings in so much money that it's really not worth the effort. Nowadays, people only look for faults in games, and spend more time whining on Twitter/X than playing the game anyway. Valve says a big fat no-no.

anast153d ago

Value is the Blockbuster of video games. They have no need to invest in deving a game, when they can make handfuls of cash renting them.

-Foxtrot154d ago

What are they talking about? Seemed pretty alright to me at launch it just wasn't supported the way Valve promised us

They should have just worked on a revamp / massive update to the game but they didn't they jumped straight to a sequel with brand new characters despite having some sort, if small, story about where the original survivors were heading.

I didn't care for the direction they took the sequel, the original games tone and atmosphere was missing in the second game and is still unmatched. Daytime levels, more whackiness, melee weapons where you could attack a Tank with a frying pan...just wasn't the same to be honest and the new survivors just didn't hold up the originals.

Here's my speculation. I think they did a sequel because they didn't want to update a game co-developed by Turtle Rock, they wanted the franchise to be known as a Valve game only and knew if they updated the first one Turtle Rocks name would still linger on it.

shaenoide153d ago

I want broken games like L4D all day long...

GhostScholar153d ago

Well the first game was by far the best
