Re: Left 4 Dead
Ok since you seem dead set on proving that the game is not up to the caliber you wanted. I will explain WHY it is the way it is.
1) It HAD long cut scenes displaying all the story and characters. It was cut out
2) It was cut out because the game is built for playablity. Meaning watching the same cut scene for the 100th time would of been a total mess.
3) The game is built to be played with friends. It is a fast paced action survivor movie. It is not RPG with tons of story, it is not a shooter with all kinds of controls.
4) It is not meant to be taken as serious as you are making it, it is meant to be FUN and that is it.
5) Speaking of fun the developers learned that in counter strike a group of buddies verus waves of knife welding terrorist was FUN. So it evolved into the concept of zombies (Thanks EG for director commentary)
6) The characters were designed to have heavy contrast between each other not only in color scheme but also LOOK so when heavy action was going on you could pick them out of the crowd very quickly to lend a hand or help them or whatever.
Basiclly it is meant to be fast paced fun with friends. If this type of gameplay is not your thing then it is just not. But downing it for design decisions that make the game easier to take in and play over and over I don't agree with you on.
If it wasn't single player it'd be like Shadowrun or Team Fortress 2 and not have single player based on the mostly poor effort made at it then it should've been left out.
Did I forget to mention the fantastic story that clearly explains why there's zombies all over the place,who all these people are and how they ended up here? What little story there is doesn't even make sense like just why what is apprently an ex army guy and biker that enjoys bar fights are letting a college student and office worker go first.
