I got L4D.....
I'm down at a LAN party this weekend, but we'll have to get together soon....
And yes, it is wicked.
Killing floor rules!!!!!
Great man!!!! It's like 2 games now. Campaign that I first started playing and then Survival came out. Survival is what I've been playing every since.
I'll PM you my info. Be looking forward to killing infected with you for sure. Both of my sons play with me as well as my grandson. I can take you through some glitches in the game and get some levels and achievements. I've gravitated to using mostly auto shotty and pistols. Nothing like dropping tanks with the shotty!!
SS,
I played KF during the free weekend. I didn't get on to it very well, but I didn't put a lot of effort in it. Too many decisions and controls in the game. However PF got into it, bought it, and has been playing quite a bit. Who knows, I might get into it sometime again though.
I did buy Team Fortress 2 last weekend for $10. My grandson is playing it heavy. He has got a whole bunch of awards in it. So I got it for him to play when he's here. It's a PG13 game and a little childish for me I believe.
A game has got to go a long way to be as simple and yet as hard as L4D. Nothing to think about, not many choices, but keeping yourself alive is the whole game. It's got the hook that no other game I've played has.
Killing floor had a free weekend?
It's just been released didn't think it had had one.
Are we talking of the same game?
Yea, 2 weeks ago when it came out they had a free weekend and the game was half price. PF and his GF both bought it.
Last weekend Team Fortress 2 came out and had a free weekend and was half price.
This weekend Unreal Tournament 3 just came out and it's a free weekend and half price. It says I have 8.8 hours left to play it free right now.
Must have missed that, i just pre-ordered it so who knows, just your comment about too many decisions and controls was odd thought we were talking different game.
I got TF2 also RC. I haven't played that much, but I really dig it... I just wish they had put some bots into it, but oh well....
L4D is a blast, especially with people you know.
It gets old after a while, but you will put in a good 60+ hours into it before that starts happening (so long as your friends arent lame gits).
TF2 is also a blast, although you should have spent the $$ and gotten the full Orange Box (HL, HL2, HL episodes, Portal, TF2, Counter Strike).
It is very cartoony, but really needs good team play to win. The jokes are a bit more than kiddie:

If that does not work, look for "Meet the Spy" vid on steampowered.
Look at the possible alerts:

The game is not 100% like this, but each character is a lampooning of some stereotypical character (from the rubber gloved German Medic, to the smoking french spy in a ski-mask. All classic 1950's schlock).
And the game moves too. They cleaned it up and it is pretty well ballanced.
Killing Floor? It is fun. It needs expansion, but people have already started making custom maps, which I think is one thing that will keep it running for a while. (It is on the old UT 2K4 engine).
JPJ, just look for me on steam. Depending on how pissed the woman is, I should be on now and again. Ninjahedge|MyU.
TF2 = meh Fortress forever is better, but I also liked the way they did the original TFC and kept in theme with the quake expansion (nothing like conc jumping... but to each their own)
L4D = simple, good fun, although short storyline, addons help a bit and definitely ALOT more fun when playing with friends over the interweb.
KF = fun in short bursts, should get better when the user community starts really pumping out maps, lack of story mode, waves upon waves of killing. and more than 6 weapons is nice,
all in all, everyone one is a good game (although TF2 I was real disappointed with but hey it can be fun)
anyone curious for my steam name just pm me,i have an older account so it is one of my email addy's so im not going to post it.
and ninja, im adding you now.
heh.
I think the only gripe people have had about TF2 was that it was not the same as the Quake mod from long ago. But I think that goes with its deliberate simplification.
One of the biggest complaints I heard for a while was "no grenades". And while I can agree with that, it was also able to make a much more balanced game w/o having people getting so many different possible strategic permutations when you add an extra weapon like that.
It is just plain fun, and can be taken in bursts. I played a lot when it first came out, even joined a team that got its butt kikked and summarily universally disbanded
. But after a while it grew dull, and was always infuriating when you played with a bunch of knob-heads.
But the best is always when you can find someone willing to go all melee, or two teams that will go all scout for a sudden death, voluntarily. Sometimes it is the silliness (Jump in the hole!!!) that makes it the most fun.
But for the price? Orange Box was the best set I have ever purchased!
L4D2 is coming out on November 17th. They're adding a chainsaw, frying pan and new survivors. JJ@someotherforum found a link to some footage:
http://media.pc.ign.com/media/143/14352245/vids_1.html
It's stirring up a bit of debate all over the internet, as people feel it's too soon for a second game. I agree, as I would like to see some cheap DLC for the first game rather than have to shell out $50 to get new locations and weapons.
The problem is, it is so very unlike valve,
To A: release a game in such short time,
B: rip of it's customers with an as yet unmoddable game with limited content.
Any other company and this would be fine but it is very out of character.
Thats what a lot are sayng. This is not Madden's L4D 2009.
lmao! Boom! and the hunter is punted!
but youre right,, very unlike steam games...
Last Nights game:
Me: Hi guys, I haven't played this mode yet.
RCP: Haha, lemme get a beer.
Faces: Well, lets do it!
-game starts-
RCP: Well, ye see, what ya got here is that you have to protect yerself from waves of bad guys. Tanks come every minute and two at 6 minutes. I played with so-and-so the other day and got her to gold on the 3rd try. Lemme get a beer.
-waves start spawning-
*bang*
*bang*
me: Tank's Coming!
me: Like you couldn't hear the "Tank's Coming" music......
Faces: >Laughing<
-we all die-
(several rounds play)
RCP: Well, I gotta go. Was fun. (gets another beer).
Me: Well, it was fun! >starts shooting teammates<
-degenarates into a "shoot everyone" contest, including pipe bombs and fire
-me dies
-MrFace kills MrsFace.
-all is well with the world_
Got you the gold on 2 levels though........
Heh, only bronze you schmuck!!!
We got to 6:12 on the hospital. Kept getting pulled out by 3/4 smokers while the tanks were coming.
BTW, I am still thinking about your Corned Beef/Dry Aged steak.
BASTICH!!!!
What?
| Quote : BTW, I am still thinking about your Corned Beef/Dry Aged steak. |
If you want to do some corned beef or whatever, let me know, I can tell you how to do it!!!
In effective field of fire on the door.... [shrug]
Light House was Gold!!!
I can play anything now, I've got all Gold..... [snicker]
we got carla gold on death toll campaign last night, i died on the front steps of the boat from a concrete block to the head.
Awwww!
Well, tonight is out drinking, so I probably won't be in until later (and even then, I might need to start looking after the kiddo or spend some "quality time" ).
I might be in Saturday, but no bets. It was fun playing with you. Hope to see you online sometime soon!
yeah we are on prolly three or four nights a week, depending on her work schedule.
but its always great to play with peeps you know,
I always look for a good teamplay.
The hardest thing is finding the right one when they come out. Now L4D has a sequel coming out, not an expansion?
I hope they price it right, or there are going to be a lot of unhappy zombie-recyclers out there.
yeah no doubt
It's always better to battle with those that battle together and know each others game play!!!!
I'll have to catch you guys soon! I had a week from hell. RC did finally get me in his friends list. I should be on as JustPlainJef. See if you guys can add me....
I had a pretty busy weekend myself. Wedding on Sat. and oldest son's birthday yesterday.
I should be on latter this after / evening.
Softball game tonight, won't be able to. (Walk in the door at 8 and start playing? I will never hear the end of it!!
)
Maybe Tuesday or Thursday.
im about to get on now actually
Well, I have a softball game Wednesday and Thursday, so maybe Friday before I start gaming with the other guys???
Heh, might be do-able.
All depends on how cranky the wi... I mean kid is......
Anyone around?
Just missed you 36 minutes ago......
I saw you pop on, but I was playing that stupid Plants vs Zombies game!
That and if I started, I know I would have been pulled off 15 minutes into the game anyway...
So, how did you fare?
I didn't play online... I updated the website and played a bit locally...
I still haven't finished the last chapter of the last campaign on single person. Not with all 4 surviving anyway...
So this week is going to blow also, but next week might start to get better... I have 5 softball games over the next 6 days...
Well, maybe you should quit the womens league.
I've been pretty busy myself planting the garden and messing with the yard and such. I haven't played in awhile now. I jump on once or twice a day to check out who's around.
I'm getting things caught up so I should be able to start playing again soon.
I can't quit... I'm the manager, and those young girls look to me for guidance...
Man, that sounds horrible.... Especially here...
Do you sit them on your lap?
Pffft...games, computers, computer games, and Wingy, they're all gay. Well, except for games, computers, and computer games anyways.
back from vacation,
Carla and I should be on in the next few days.

...*BASTAGE*...
Thanks for the game Phukky.... Good times...
One more busy week and then softball is over....
I had the Father's Day from hell yesterday. Fridge went out here at the pondee.... Scrambled around and bought one yesterday... It had to be plugged in for 24 hours before food. You can imagine what all hell that caused... I left it over night and just now transfered all the stuff in the new fridge....
What a friggen Father's Day!!!!
Nah, I just got the daddy's day guilt trip.
I am now assigned to Baby Bath duty every day at 8-ish.
RC is just sober his piss in a bottle was warm.
Say what what?
Well he can hardly be pissed now can he?
