How about we stop spoiling every goddamn detail of every upcoming game in game news headlines. Thanks.
Since they're working on a sequel I'd honestly rather them just concentrate on that, because I don't exactly plan on going back to l4d after playing l4d2...
This is what I thought too, but the gameplay is actually quite deep, and the difficulty forces you to use that depth. I've gotten about 9-11 hours of gameplay out of it so far and I still have about 5 hours to go (I've finished the story on normal, and the 50 arcade levels, and I'm just starting the story on samurai. Normally I wouldn't bother but the enemy spawns are different and extra bosses are thrown in so it still feels new). One of the best value games on XBLA.
Was looking forward to this but after the demo I was pretty sure it wasn't going to turn out that great...and now reviews are confirming it...so disappointing.
Better than not getting it right at all. Hopefully they learn a lesson from this though...
Ironically Bioshock's inspiration and spiritual predecessor, System Shock 2, a game with even better atmosphere than Bioshock complete with an overwhelming feeling of being alone, had a (up to 4 player if I remember correctly) coop mode.
Coop in a survival horror or otherwise atmospheric game is fine as long as the coop is just thrown in as a bonus feature, and the game isn't actually designed around coop (see RE5 for a great example of how to destroy survival horror with coop)....
Ok.
So who the f*ck wants to play 'em?
If I didn't patch the game I wouldn't be able to play online. Its irrelevant though since this article IS wrong, the Australian version remains uncensored :).
They better be f*cking wrong about the Australian version being re-censored. The pc version here is uncensored with the same rating so there's no reason to censor the 360 version.
Lol.
This isn't unique to Halo Wars and Lair. Virtually all review copies would come with this kind of material. As crazypuppet says though Lair's went too far in its requests.
Damn.
I admit I'm a little worried about how they'll balance it across the two control schemes (ideally the stop-while-shooting style should have re4 style AI in enemies, while the move-while-shooting style should have enemies that are a little more aggressive and rush more often, as in Dead Space).
Screen tearing on online videos is often actually the video playback rather than the game I believe. The devs have stated on the official forums that there is no screen tearing.
