Left 4 Dead - Most wanted game of 2008

[Neil]

What'a'ya rubbing it in or something? I thought you had a HD4870? I'm just biding my time, waiting for the price to come down a smidge, and then I'll shoot my goo all over a new rig. *edit* Hey! I coulda sworn your message was different when I posted, as in not having all that busty blondes sucking on fingers stuff ... either that or my eyes decided not to reveal said titilation...anyway, yes, OF COURSE that'd be alright! Yeh! I do have a ONE GIG ATI 4870!!!!! Mis-type! So that's a ONE GIG ATI 4870!!!!

[MinionZombie]

Yeh! I do have a ONE GIG ATI 4870!!!!! Mis-type! So that's a ONE GIG ATI 4870!!!! To be honest, that gives me an erection...just being honest, but it does. I'll probably end up going for the 896mb GTX260 (nVidia), and then in due course SLI two of those bitches together ... or perhaps I'll go for a GTX280 if the price improves (which is 1gig). Can't wait to start playing PC games again, as well as Clear Sky which I've had sitting on a shelf, unplayed, since I got it almost two sodding months ago. And then - super fast video rendering, oooooooh I can just imagine the Magic Bullet explosion, all over my footage like a bukkake porn!

Intro movie! My pants! They're wet! http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/action/lef...l-movie-1?hd=1 This should look good on my Q6600@3.2ghz | 4gig ram@1066mhz | ATI 4870 1gig

Not bad. Riveting but the speed of the foes and the overall Day 08 feel does give me some concerns though.

If I'm not mistaken, this is purely an online game correct? That'll count me out, but if I ever do play it, I reckon I'll have to do so whilst assuming the position on the porcelain bowl.

While of course the focus is multiplayer, you can play with four other AI players, and Turtle Rock Studios (now merged with Valve) are renowned for their excellent AI. Anyway, I know you can't get on XBox Live for whatever reasons MZ but is there something stopping you playing online on PC? Also, what happened to them being 'infected' rather than zombies? Did Valve just give up on that?

[MinionZombie]

lol, yeah, are they infected, or zombies, or infected zombies ... or just nutters? Anyway, yeah not on XBL, there's far better other things I could spend fifty sheets a year on, plus I only have enough time to do my single player campaigns, let alone online stuff getting pwned by eleventeen year olds talking like rappers. As for PC online, again, it's to do with the location of the broadband connection - we're old school and wired, none of that wireless wank - plus my existing PC rig is now out of date for gaming, and then when I get a new one it'll pwn the games - BUT - it WON'T be going online, except briefly at the start to get security software on & updated. As for the other PC that IS online, it's not got the graphics card - but everything else - to play games, so, hehe. Kinda counts me out. But you can play it on your own, a la Battlefield games, essentially with bots? Hmmm...if so, interesting...as long as the AI is good and doesn't get stuck behind doors, or run in circles, or stand there like an idiot, or get in the way of my pwning bullets etc.

No doubt they'll be more helpful than real players in a lot of cases though I think the fact one player has the potential to f*** it up under the right (or wrong?) circumstances also adds a lot to the experience.

Yeh! I do have a ONE GIG ATI 4870!!!!! Mis-type! So that's a ONE GIG ATI 4870!!!! overall that aint bad, i think that lists pretty much the same as my imac, cept the first, thats about a ghz faster than it. and my mac can play crysis, so if thats your rig you should easily handle left for dead.

[MinionZombie]

Neil - I don't suppose you talk on the forums at ActionTrip do you? There's someone on there called Neil, on the L4D article with your exact same spec ... True, or ... doppleganger?!?!

[Mutineer]

This looks so rad. That opening film was better than the entire LAND movie. Can't wait for this.

[kidgloves]

I am gagging for this game. Got a group of xbox live cod4/graw guys ready to experience a bit of survival horror for the first time. We always worked together well on mp/co-op games so this will be very interesting

[CoinReturn]
