Left 4 Dead

When do they let the rest of us players try the demo who havn't been sucked into the hype and preordered it?

November 11th - 7 days before the full release

Alright, just got myself into pre-purchasing the game (was going to purchase it anyway, ya know), and downloading the demo. Oh god oh god oh god....

So can you only download the demo on Steam? I'd like to play it but Steam doesn't work here at uni

I can't play the demo today, it says the servers are busy!

Well, you know, it is a Valve game.

-console -> "openserverbrowser" -> custom :bananawrench:

Can't wait to play it, haven't bought it yet, have to convince my parents to buy it asap because well, I'm poor you know...

ok, few throw-offs would be:

- lots of serverside bugs (connection problems)..

- i get a lot of artefacts (white textures) but im not too sure if thats just me

- every 5 times you try to connect to a game in progress, there will be 3 times a ''server is full'' and 2 times a ''disconnected'' pop up. and thats average.

still, this game rox0rz

ok, do you like crazy shootouts and pure action?! this game is for you!!

Expert difficulty is serious business. Sometimes we barely make it inches away from the starting point!

that's what would happen to you if the world would be invaded by zombies...

I think the difficulty levels are still to low - it really depends on your team and if you know the guys you are playing with, keep your voice chats activated - you can easily overrun an expert horde as well.

It's great, but I think they totally underestimate the need for new maps. Sure, it's still fresh to play the same maps a few times, but it's already starting to get a little stale even if it's all randomized.

I disagree. One of the most interesting things about it so far is how fresh those same 2 maps feel every time I play it, even after beating them about 10 times now. With the full campaign, content support from Valve and the potential for some great custom maps, this could be the most replayable game ever made

I get the new valve game feel. I love it. Doesnt matter if i only play it for 1 month or whatever, i get addicted to it. These guys know how to make great games to their audience!!

I am a bit confused. I want to purchase left4dead with steam and there was said. $44.99 When I want top buy it there comes VAT $9.45

So it's $54.44 total. Why do i have to pay those VAT $9.45 ? Then it looks better that buy the box in the shop instead of steam. :s

Because you are living in Belgium/EU and Steam has to pay taxes for importing and value add that you have to pay as well. The store page is the netto price or the US-VAT-price iirc.

aha, thx. So 55.00 USD = 42.9671 EUR

So I Have to pay 43 euro to get the game ? That is cheap :s Or am i wrong here
