Left 4 Dead 2 Hits a Super Low Price

Xbox Lifestyle writes:

"It seems that Left 4 Dead 2 has been struggling at retail, with a UK supermarket cutting the price for the game in just over a week. This is possibly due to its release being very close to big hitters such as Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2."

LOL BUT BUT BUT B U T B U T PS3 OWNERS DON'T BUY GAMES

Vip3r5271d ago

Too bad the PC version isn't that cheap.

Winter47th5271d ago

Looks like it was Left 4 Dead Alright.

kwyjibo5271d ago

Modern Warfare 2 was sold by the super markets from launch at £26. Is that struggling at retail too?

mingeater5271d ago

do people know how much uk supermarkets sell games for? like kwyjbo said. lol grasping?

then sees who posted this

lalalala5271d ago

@1.2 - Difference there is that MW2 was price cut BEFORE the game was released, in an obvious tactic to get more people through the door and make up money on groceries.

On the other hand this has been out for 8 days in UK, and has already been price cut, most likely because the game has been in very low demand. I mean £15! Why didn't they cut the price to £30 instead?

TheIneffableBob5271d ago

PC version was selling for $30 at some places.

DuneBuggy5270d ago (Edited 5270d ago )

Yeah.Gamestop has L4D2 for $20 off right now.So that makes the PC $30 and the 360 version $40.
I recall getting L4D for 10 bucks off last year around this time there too.
Picked it up yesterday and its great.The levels are much more creative.

vhero5270d ago

Nothing to do with AC2 or MW2 its to do with its simply not as great of a game it feels empty as a game as its clearly made for mods like counterstrike. The fact its on 360 is stupid. Not surprised its not selling well as us Brits aren't as stupid as our American brothers.

iwillpwnyou5270d ago

Sony didn't want this game on playstation...

Vhero, please don't lump me in with anybody else from my country, we're not all mindless idiots. Many of us, like myself, will go extra lengths to let you know, yeah, we're out there and not like "them" just by commenting back to a claim like that... Blanket statements are one thing that Americans are belittled for making, so I'd like to be left out of them, as I refuse to make them about other countries or ethnicities.

I will take Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls over MW2 and L4D2 any day.

I wish some of my fellow "Yanks" would shut their mouths because they're ruining the image for all of us.

IronFistChinMi5270d ago

I just ordered a copy thanks to this article. :)

Santa Hirai5271d ago

Desperation already it will be in the bargain bin by next week

AliTheBrit195271d ago

It has absalutely nothing to do with struggling at retail

Its to do with the ever going retail price wars.

Modern Warfare 2 was £36 ON LAUNCH DAY

Bare in mind its RRP was £55

So I guess MW2 was also struggling at retail LOL

Gullible fanboys :) ready to eat up anything

TheTeam065271d ago

I'm not sure you would have said that if this was Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2...

Don_Frappucino5270d ago

MW2 was £26 on release at Sainsburys

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.

GamerRN48d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit48d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead48d 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

TheEroica48d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL48d ago

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

S2Killinit48d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

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

StormSnooper48d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica46d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer48d 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

S2Killinit48d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer48d ago

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

S2Killinit48d ago

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

shinoff218348d ago (Edited 48d 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.

Friendlygamer48d 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

shinoff218348d 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)

StormSnooper48d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal48d 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.

TwoPicklesGood48d 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.

shinoff218348d ago

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

DarXyde48d 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."

Number1TailzFan160d 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.

cthulhucultist158d 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.

rakentaja158d 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.

anast158d 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.

-Foxtrot160d 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.

shaenoide158d ago

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

GhostScholar158d ago

Well the first game was by far the best
