It's supposed to be more intense than it is scary.

easy and normal is piece of piss. advance is somewhat easy and expert is just fail with ai

>>22444583

durr hurr

NEED CODE

I like how dark rooms are really PITCH FUCKING BLACK

this game has actually scared me more than i thought it would.

i shit my pants every time i look behind me and theres nothing there and then 5 seconds later i do it again and theres 30 zombies running full speed ready to tear me the fuck apart.

Intense games usually crack me and leave me feeling really snapped, but no matter how "scary" you try and make a game, itll never dent me.

Thats where Dead Space failed.

If only i could play Left 4 Dead though, no code, gonna have to wait for public demo release.

>>22444665

me too, the flashlights are actually useful

No, not scary really, but shove it onto Expert and feel the pressure.

Shit is awesome.

The only reason it isn't scary is because the zombies...are not scary looking. They don't act like they want to eat your flesh, they just act like you tried to fuck their sisters, and now they want to kick the shit out of you. They're aren't really on par with 28 days later zombies either, they're like, stuck between scary and not scary, which sucks, but it's still a very fun game. The modding community will hopefully take care of this. If Valve didn't care so much about shitty computers being able to handle this game, they could have went all out. I would have like to of seen blood gurgling from their mouths, ultra white skin, decaying flesh, you know, some bone and muscle exposure. I also miss the groans and moans of a classic zombie, the kind that echo so eerily in the darkness, and send shrills down your spine.

Game is incredible but people need to learn that you don't fucking backpedal or strafe in tight corridors/small rooms. Crouch and melee are incredible tools in this game and it seems like a lot of people just don't use them.

More on topic, it's a little scary at first but once you recognize the sounds of the different special zombies you can usually tell what's coming at you, it's just a matter of being able to deal with it. I love witches though, you can really tell when the rest of your team is shitting themselves.

>>22444823
the shrieking of the hunter as you walk around a corner and see it crouched ready to fuck your face up. also witches....... if your on expert and you hear the crying..... good god

>>22444890
not sure what happened there but it was supposed to point to post >>22444874

>>22444890
EVERYONE CROUCH, LIGHTS OUT, NO GUN FIRE.

Playing with 4 people that have mics is the best.

>>22444874
It's intentional. The whole point is the "zombies" are just normal people with some sort of infection. It makes them super-aggressive but it's not like they're undead or something.

>>22444961
OH MY FUCKING GOD SHE IS SITTING NEXT TO THE MINIGUN

>>22445027

Uh, what are you talking about? Zombies, canonically, are reanimated corpses, and have only one desire; the flesh and blood of the living. They are not simply people with an infection.

>>22445135
Which is precisely why they aren't called zombies in-game

I shat bricks when I heard that the demo was not for everyone. Also stopped caring there.

what style is gameplay is this? RE4? Dead rising?

>>22445176

Yes, I understand this, which in-part is why they are not very scary. They don't act like zombies, they act like a bunch of pissed off faggots. I guess I was just hoping the "infected" would translate to something more zombie like.

Imagine 28 weeks later, but as a game. But it's a little dulled down. Otherwise GREAT game.

>>22445254
Demo is public on the 11th, and everyone who wants in on it early is able to do so my cheating Gamestop.

Stop being such ucking faggot.

>>22445426

Imagine, this took them 4 years to make.

>>22445293

Its like Serious Sam speeds of intensity, but with zombies, and a little more tactics.

I'll check it out on the 11th, but I think I'll stick to starcraft.

>>22445599
Only world at war is kind of shitty.

>>22445599
Oh fuck, I almost forgot that the CSS zombie mod even existed. That shit could get seriously intense, if L4D could get half as intense it's got my money. Are there a lot of little kids who never turn off their mics? That was a huge problem with the Zombie Mod and with pretty much every FPS as a matter of fact.

The scariest part of this game is the loading times

>>22445550

bwahahahahahaha enjoy your trilogy/paying for a server browser

blizzard's dead to me since WoW.

>>22445739
It is, I really didn't like the CSS zombie mod, this is much more intense.

>>22445032
i played a game where she was sat infront of the minigun.

we got ready then one guy suicide rushed her whilst we shot her to death.

>>22445818

Yeah because StarCraft is StarCraft2.

And yeah, I will enjoy my trilogy. Only on /v/ is more content a good thing.

>>22445749
Well you see, l4d isn't shitty whereas world at war is.

>>22445892
Bad thing. Only on /v/ is more content a BAD thing.

>>22444583
I beat it on one try on expert with AI only.

>>22445951
right, my bad. I just woke up

QUIT THROWING MOLITOVS AT ME WHEN IM PINNED DOWN. YOU ARE NOT HELPING YOU FAGGOT.

Also pointing out the incredible pathing and AI of zombies, hunters that ambush you and dont charge from stupid lengths where you can get a good shooting going.
Smokers that retreat when fail to drag you.
Also the general animations of everything, it's incredible for a source game, i had no idea it could do such a thing.

>>22446018
Well, aren't you special.

>>22446018

AI can't friendly fire and don't miss. Hardly a challenge.

>>22446052
jesus dude i fucking hate that, we were doing a expert run and at the end of the subway when we hit the switch, we all go into the room and a hunter pins down the guy on the mini gun, some faggot throws a molitov in the room to "help him" and we all burn to death. GG you fucking retard

>>22446120
nope, but the AI was good enough to help me out

>>22446076
Really, the whole director system wasn't exaggerated at all, even playing through the same levels over and over I never know what to expect, only where to go. Probably the most pleasant surprise I got from the demo, I'll be spending a lot more time on the campaign than I imagined I would.

>>22445544

>>22446076
fuck every smoker that pulls me into a witch or boomer

>>22446221
It makes sense in the context that i was correcting the poster.

>>22445426
Wow, you compare this game to another piece of shit from Treyarch?

CS:S zombie mod is pretty intense, not to mention, WAY more people. I would have liked to of seen maps that make up the huge city they're in, with groups of 8 spread out across the city, fighting swarms of infected, each trying to reach a certain objective. I could think of so much awesome shit they could have done. I'm going to have to become a game designer one of these days.

>>22446242
INFECTED IN THE BATHTUB

Witches scare the fuck out of me.
I was just playing with a friend, just him and me with two AI on Expert. Shit was fucking intense. In the final try we made it to the very last rail car, even though we were being chased by a tank from one end, and there was a hunter at the other. I got ganked by the Hunter, didn't see how my mate died, but I think it was just the generic zombie horde that got him, since even before we got there we were all on very low health.

This is the most intense game I've ever played.

Pic semi-related.

i FUCKING HATE when those zombies smash down the wall in that one area right before you go down the stairs of the first apartment near the beginning. and its totally fucking random

According to the playtesters the second half of the demo is much, much bigger in the full game. That last safe room was just added in for the demo.

>>22446392
hahahaha hohohoho
oh you

>>22446467

He's just butthurt that he couldn't get into the demo I expect. Ignore him.

>>22446392
You heard it hear first, valve ripped off treyarch

>>22446453
wow....really? well shit, I've never beaten the demo with more then two teammates still alive. and those two are always near dead....

so you're telling me that that wasn't even near the end?

but then again, that explosive gasoline thing would be far more useful if you could continue. just wait for everyone to pass then blow it up....you've more or less created your own checkpoint

Do any of my fellow /v/s fancy a game on expert right now?
Steam nick is Pandaemonium, feel free to add for some zombo blasting.

I can finish expert difficulty if the group just makes a mad suicide run straight to the exit.
Did this a few times, its surprisingly easy.

>>22446551

Not even close apparetly. I think (don't know) that the next area up is the hospital, then you fight right up to the roof, there's that big fight with the gun emplacement and that's the end of No Mercy.

can't wait for full version :)

>>22444665
I like how it makes it impossible to see because I can't see anyone else's flashlights.

>>22446551
The demo is 2/5 maps of that campaign

>>22446659

I don't understand how people can say this is possible.
You keep running forwards and you're going to get bogged down in the swarm ahead, then those behind will catch up.
I know the melee attack is powerful but it's not so broken that you can just push your way through anything.

>>22446702
And how many campaigns? 6?

>>22446702
Wrong. the second level is less than half of what's actually in the game.

The asshole director once spawned a hunter, boomer and smoker all at once on our group.
Needless to say, it was not pleasant.

What is the deal with this game and trolls? I mean, come on now.

>>22446691

>I own a PS3

ohhhh i understand now.

>>22446691
carry on trolling about a game which you havent played.

we'll ignore you and carry on playing the demo, which is replayable
and never the same any time.

>>22446723

It's largely dependent upon whether or not you get pinned by a hunter/smoker. Very rarely it works and it works well but most of the time you'll just screw yourself over by rushing.

>>22446752
Whenever I play the second zone on Expert, all three seem to spawn at the same time. Then, three minutes later, they all spawn again.

>>22446738
So, 1.5/5? Nice.

>>22446691

This kind of attitude is such a shame. You couldn't play so you've decided it's shit and you hate it.
Perhaps if somebody had given you a code you'd feel differently.

Ah well, no skin off my nose. I'll be having a whale of a time shooting Infected if anybody wants me.

>>22446723
It's possible because I did it before a few times?
Granted, it doesn't work EVERY time since you can sometimes get bodyblocked, but it's very possible.

>>22446659
Most of the successful Expert runs I've had involved running to a defensible position, camping until a wave, Running to the next defensible position, etc. It works pretty well, because you're never caught off-guard, but shit gets boring.

>>22446810
I think perhaps you misunderstood me. Where the second level ends (the one where the "finale" is with the mounted turret) doesn't end there in the full game. There's quite a bit more to it.

>>22446556
reporting in.

I hate when my teammates act like they don't hear the Wave music. When you hear that music, bunker the fuck down.

Our tactics (and I use the term quite wrongly) in Expert involve... moving forward and shooting.
Though, to be fair, I have a great bunch of guys who don't care if we suffer a total team kill six times in a row. We generally have as much, if not more fun when we're getting our asses kicked as we do when we're winning.

I honestly can't imagine playing with clanfags who demand PERFECT PRECISION EVERY SECOND.
Not that it's a bad way to play, it just doesn't sound like my idea of fun.

>>22446910
I got what you said the first time.
