  1. The l4d’s are timeless masterpieces. Sure it’s like a modern version of them. But there isn’t a whole workshop where you can download mods from others to make the game feel like it’s truly yours. I’d rather wait till release and watch some gameplay. I don’t wanna waste 60 dollars on a pile of glitchy garbage

  2. I like the Left 4 Dead franchise, but Back 4 Blood doesn't really seem like it's for me. They made the characters a little less interesting, or maybe too flashy for my taste. Graphics look great, but again, too flashy. The card system is my biggest problem. Why do we need it? The zombies and stuff are fine, I don't have any problems with that. They look okay.

    Back 4 Blood's take on the "kill zombies, do objectives, run the fuck away" is a little too complex for me. Card drops, cards, specific skills and all. Yes, I could take the time to learn how it works, but is it fun? It's like learning how to play a card game because I was forced to.

    There's also the possibility of modding the game (custom campaigns, survivor retextures, etc) not being possible, or heavily regulated. The reason why I keep playing Left 4 Dead is specifically because of that. The modding aspect adds a lot of replayability for the game.

    So essentially: B4B will either be a great game or an absolute shitstorm on release, no in betweens.

  3. The annual pass got me a lil worried, I'd say do what Activision is doing with cod rn and make the dlc free with the trade off of (non buff) cosmetics being the trade off but since we haven't heard from turtle rock untill now I feel like this is most likely their best bet in the short term.

  4. The thing I like about this game is that it's hard. I haven't played it but from what I watched the difficulty seems to be tied to logic and competency. You can't just spray and pray everything in sight otherwise you will run out of ammo fast and the zombies are relentless with specials being threatening.
