im not saying the beatles are bad im just saying there not as good as people think they are...its like misplaced nostalgia u want them to be good cause everybody says they are
I really look forward to the second Just Cause. The first one had its flaws, but it was a heck of a lot of fun and boasted some excellent draw distances. With any luck, the flaws from the first will be polished out, and it will be even more fun to play with the grappling hook and parachute. I just hope they still let you drive/fly absolutely EVERY vehicle like the first one did. I was pleasantly surprised to hop in and fly the giant cargo plane, only to crash it on a crowded bridge!
Now, I'm not one to accuse reviewers of bias, but this has got to be the rare exception.
There seems to be a Valve fanboy tinge to the prediction on Left 4 Dead 2; the content was so effusive and gushy, and so entirely without reserve, that I'm surprised it wasn't written by a Valve dev team member.
L4D2 may be the only mistake Valve has ever made in their career, and 'til this point, I was convinced that they could do no wrong.
When it all comes down to it, L4D2 is a sequel that adds the most superficial of changes; melee weapons, Incendiary Ammunition (why didn't they just give us a flamethrower?), new weapons (with 'new' apparantly meaning the old weapons with suppressors sellotaped on), insignificant changes to the AI Director (which was essentially a glorified spawn system in the first place) and a couple of maps.
Worse still, is what we are losing.
Gone are the claustrophic, dark, dank quarters of the original game.
Instead, we are treated to wide-avenues, low buildings and sunny streets.
How the Hell is Valve going to create any thrills, nevermind scares, when the environment is fully visible and pleasant?
All of these could and should have been DLC for the original game.
Why are we forking out the price for an entirely new game just so we can receive changes that could have easily been added as new maps and equipment, or even modded?
Even if Valve's intentions are better than just squeezing money out of - what is in my opinion - and already highly overrated game, I still believe that this decision made no sense.
