IGN 2008 Game of the Year Nominee: Left 4 Dead

[Whiskeyn666]

Its not the best game i never saw but im a ps3 owner but if i had a xbox360 i shure that i will bought this game.

[MegaMuffins100]

Shity ass graphics and boring just killing fake zombies

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@MegaMuffins100 shitty ass graphics? the game isn't phenominal in graphics but the game looks great. and how is just mindlessly killing hordes of zombies not be fun.

[MegaMuffins100]

@BigdogWitBigdog Its just killing zombies wats so fun play something else like batman lol

[MrM0j0Risin27]

i love l4d on my mac!!

[SaiteK1911]

mac suxks ass

[PurexOvvnage]

[tes4player1]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Bobina20]

killing floor pwns that shit

[FlAsHi0Z]

L4d was the latest project of VALVe and we all know that VALVe are gods of games so it was no surprise that L4D was nominated and the second installment will be more and more chaotic and fun :D Thanks Valve for not forgeting for your fanz :D

[ZOMFG102]

LEFT 4 DEAD BEST GAME EVER

[Watsoon940]

nope!!! Left 4 dead 2 is much better!

[dloriaM]

have you played it???

[Watsoon940]

no but on 27th october i gonna play the demo!!!!!

[eddyc09]

@ZOMFG102

Left 4 dead is not worth buying on the 360 because there is only 4 levels buy it on the pc and you can download mods

[BboyGouken]

I love left 4 dead thanks VALVE !!

[BboyGouken]

LEFT 4 DEAD rulezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

[shotty1022]

sucks that its not on ps3 :(

[polopolo150]

lol, I can't belive people tumbs down his respond...

I have the PC version but still... it sucks the PS3 does not have L4D, otherwise I could have a lot of fun with my friend in co-op.

[shotty1022]

only self absorbed and arrogant people would thumb down a comment like that

[illadvisedproduction]

haha yay l4d won!

[PimpKnight8]

yes iv played it.. the graphics arnt bad but they arnt good either. but yes i have played it. the game is tottaly over rated by some people. i mean dont get me wrong its a good game but i dont think it was ment to be a time consumer. Its only a game you play when you want to get away from something else that your bored of. thats my opinion... so those of you who get mad at me for stating my opinion... its not like it should really matter to you anyways.

[PimpKnight8]

wow are you kidding??? theres no story, its the same shit constantly and the graphics are so bad. i awenestly can't understand how you people could like this game....

[chris200830]

lol,you have no idea what fun is. l4d is incredibly addictive.

[Jordan1697]

have you even played it?

[opel1111]

Graphics are Bad WTF are U talking about ??? graphics arent Bad Have U even played L4D b4 ?

[FatSealVideos]

lol play the game before you act like an idiot

[n00bkill3r365]

this is my favorite game of all time you can replay the levels as many times as you want and it never gets boring it just gets better.

[gearsfan165]

first off i rly dont care if a game doesnt have a good story wut i care about is wut most gamers should care about GAMEPLAY this game is the most addicting game ever on 360 the replay value is awsome dont say its to fuckign short u can replay every level and geta diffrent experience it is a little dissapointing that there r only 4 levels but its still fun and thousands of ppl love this game even though it has no story SO FUCK URSELF IF U THINK THIS GAME IS GAY

[hunteranubis]

I dont think it deserves the game of the year award becose

1 its to short

2 no story what so ever or explanation why what happened

3 not enough weapons to satisfy me

5 could have had more zombie types

6 no bosses

7 its just pure blasting oyu play one lvl you played them all.

8 you didnt noticed I missed four

9 I want RE2 puzzles in it just joking on this one but imagine doing one and trying to survive that would be bit to much I gess

[High120]

no bosses??are you talking about left 4 dead then i guesse the hunter boomer smoker the witch and the tank arent bosses?ok ok ok.and there is an explanation when you buy the game it says in the box that there was an infection (virus)and these four were imune to the virus

[hunteranubis]

then in terminator salvation every T-600 is boss as well? dont make me laugh.

Bosses are suposed to be unique and one time only or multiple with some diference new power etc.

and saying there was an infection gee I could see that even without reading it on box. But I desire deeper story.

its like Fallout 3. saying what hapened - there were nukes with no story in background

[High120]

ok you got me there on the story and the bosses but you cant say tank isnt like a boss because he´s not always showyng up and is really hard to kill

[hunteranubis]

ok tank could be considered as a miniboss but I wouldnt be angry if they put a larger variety of zombies in game.

some annoing fast and weak zombie dogs can always make someones day better.

[High120]

i am gonna to agree with you on that one and the crows on the blood harvest could attack you that would be cool

[hunchbak01]

then you wont have a chance :] that could be the whole finale XD

[ChiaKaCheng]

for those suckers who dunno how to appreciate games, go fuck yourself. this game is awesome, its only half a year old and its already a best-selling game on steam. valve have announced left 4 dead 2 for this novermber 17, this year

[CoolKidinTown07]

how is this game of the year! are u kiddin me??!?!?!

[High120]

the game is huge

[Ghost1170]

I don't get how Left 4 dead got game of the year :O. Sure its GREAT AND AWESOME but not the game of the year for me :P

[CoolKidinTown07]

totally agreed man!

[Banshee523]

:54 shoulda used shove attack.

[Theproducer0498]

lol he says armed to the teeth when you only get three maybe for guns. you get your pistol(s), primary, and molotov or pipe bomb

[Banshee523]

And fist aid kit... and peels.

[nicha112]

I LUVZ LEFT 4 DEADD"!!!11

[Bmaxim13]

PURE GAME !!!!!!!!!!XDD

[KnightQuickness72]

Hey umm, im getting an Xbox may 5th and i was just wondering what is the differance between normal L4D and L4D game of the year edition?

[ulvemann43]

game of theyear eddition has free dlc if you dont et nline wioth 360

[wildebeastjr]

the goty edition has dlc, so get it if youre not gonna get LIVE... just get it GREAT GAME

[Blind7Luck]

You obviously haven't played the game..

[DreadRaptor85]

Why would you enter a cornfield during a zombie apocalypse?

[thedevilmaydie]

I would agree with you but what if that was the only way to go? what would you do then?

[DreadRaptor85]

I would go around it.

[constant774]

I completely agree its not smart to go into a corn field during an apocalypse go around it :D

[getrEalnoob]

you have to get to the farm house across the cornfield to call backup.

[wildebeastjr]

yea, its intense

[calr1993]

if anybody wants to play some campaign on expert just add my gamertag

Cal R 1993

[getrEalnoob]

my GT is ELNOOBIITO

[Sinic4]

I agree with this guy, the game rocks and anything, but he sais hes playing with new players; when theres a hordes of zombies he doesn't just shove em' away just shoots 'em?

[Sinic4]

For some strange reason before I got Live for XBox360 and I got L4D the graphics sucked badly, but when I got Live the graphics kinda improved (but not the best like on my PC, ex.: cant see your feet in firstperson (theres no thirdperson in XBox360 version while in PC theres THE MIGHTY CONSOLE), the blood is too blurry while on the PC its all... liquidy and other stuff is kinda blurry too

[ZallyXIII]

Well, VALVe does love PC's.

[HottyAsakura]

the fun part for left is on expert if you are playing on expert it is more fun than normal or advance

[Tuffnuttz892]

I find that sometimes i even refrain from using the Assault Rifle, Sub Machine gun, and even the pistol because of the way the gun sounds, its just a bit cheesy. And after hearing the annoying, high pitch, BANGBANGBANG over again it drives me insane........oh ya and this game needs more campaigns.

[akira357]

Left 4 dead is only fun for like a week, and then you get bore of it right away.

Cause you already know wat to expect...

So replayable did not exist in this game. A campaign should just be a campaign, they aren't meant to be replayable.

[333onlyhalfbad]

well i have had the game for a while now and i havnt got bored of it and the game changes every time u play it

[workerguy10]

this guy knows what he is talking about.... left 4 dead fckn rocks

[fireball420]

what not for the ps3 why not i'll tell you why becas the gaybox need more tppl to buy games for the gayxob ok i'll let this go

[squirrel1987]

been saying this since i first played on it great game

[ViolentMapler]

cod5 nazi zombies sucks compared to this...Ive got it on 360 and it still owns

[Xophod]

CoD5  is more fun.

[whatatwist25]

CoD5? zoombie in call of duty 5 is retarded.. all u have to do is use the ray gun.

[CoDSNIPERZ]

THANK YOU!!!!!! one person who actually knows what they r talking about.

[Rubberbandmoviesinc]

Left 4 Dead is when you get outside the Nazi Zombies house.

[20RealisT09]

this game is like a bonus on call of duty world at war.. its exactly the same, AND cod came out before it.. dont waste your money on this, buy cod and get this for free.

[jgrant1928]

Nazi zombies isnt as fun as left 4 dead

I hav both and i would recomend getting left 4 dead as cod5 i thot was jus not that good but is fun in multiplayer:)

[Rubberbandmoviesinc]

CoD isn't supposed to be zombies.

[jgrant1928]

Yea i knw that:l...

[Ca800se]

um it is defiantly not the same

[Admiral3131]

I have both also COD5 is fun but L4D is a much better zombie game. But that is because COD5 isnt meant to be.

[TheXaviumTheory]

Wheres Condemned 2? =/

[drewmc74]

Left 4 dead = tedious boredom.

[Chick6517]

I thought thats u XD! That was too cool! Your cousin is amazing! Thanks

[DeezDaDon]

THEZE ARE MY FRIENDS NOW

[flobba123]

i did just buy it...it laggs on my comp :(

[Preecey22]

versus on left 4 dead never gets old

[kingboru121]

if you don't have xbox live...this game becomes a waste of money fast

[shahherwan93]

haha....so get a pc

[KaitenXer]

true...unless you buy the pc version. Online play is free as well.

[Halositewhere]

too much laggy...

[nilecitypatrik]

yOU´r Mom is laggy in Bed!

[tankdtheguru]

left 4 dead or call of duty 5 bitches

[therealcrashxp]

It wasn't the best game I've played all year, it does feels half made, not a very long game either. You do get bored playing it after around 6 hours(not all in one seasion lol), even with friends. This game could've been much better but valve would rather make games that are made faster, with less content expecting us to wait to downloaded small updates over months. (like teamfortress 2) And if you own a 360 you'll have to pay for them.

[tankdtheguru]

its fun forever if you play versus

[therealcrashxp]

I stoped playing Vs when people started to camping spawn, if you didn't notice there isn't a time limit so they can be waiting there all day.

[OnlyHighWhenDriving]

You are absolutely correct.

[chaosdog12]

lol ign

[rubut]

hell yea!! game of the year nominee is supposed to be the game played most of the time by most of the people all over the effin world! and this is it! other games might surpass this in terms of graphics or story or plot but this game is being played all over the world with a variety of custom maps now ready for download.

This is the best, well-balanced, team-coop or versus FPS in the f***in universe..

[ChiaKaCheng]

totally agreed

[ringarenpadorren]

can someone tell me the story of left 4 dead please?

[dudeness3]

There are 4 campaigns, No Mercy, Death Toll, Dead Air, and Blood Harvest.

No Mercy: Get to the hospital by going through an apartment building, the subway, the sewers, the hospital, and the rooftop finale.

[liamw987654]

a monkey raped a man that turned in to zombie and so on

[IndeExo]

lol "THE CORNS THE MAIZE" yes mr, corn is maize.

[Krisisb0b]

OMG OMG OMG hope l4d or gta 4 or fallout 3 wins =]

[ChiaKaCheng]

l4d=best multiplayer, audio fallout 3=best graphics,audio gta4=i dunno...

[Qeter1]

you fail lol

[jaywray1]

best multi lfd MABEY resistance2, best graphics mgs 4, best audio by far dead space, best new id obvously lbp or lfd

[tacohero]

Fun game but it is way to short not enough weapons the minigun is next to useless, and the verse mode could use some work its usually a 1 sided match, and the campaign and the game itself gets boring after about a month or two.

[Supersmurf62]

probably becuase you played the shit out of it.

[x6cute]

I got this game too. It is fucking amazing. Go buy it now, you don't know what you're missing out on.

[latinodt917]

omg y is everyone saying thhey should add more guns i agree that the game is to short but still its still pretty good like wth are u guy talkin bout this game is fun playin co-op

[calapanpo]

and stopping power isn't everything, an AK is stronger than an M16, but it's also slower, the bullets fall faster, and most people with an AK would have the legal semi-automatic AK, creating a totally different weapon then the burst fire/fully auto M16. You never see gangs walking around carrying their Uzi's and hunting rifles. The weapons may have their own uses but they don't have unique uses,

e.g Uzi<M16, pump shotgun<auto shotgun. Also, who wouldn't have a revolver?

[flectz]

did you just copy that off a forum

[calapanpo]

nope, I just watch future weapons so I know a little bit about big guns.

[calapanpo]

you really have no idea what you're talking about, i'm sorry for having an opinion.

and i'm not bored of it, probably won't be for awihle so don't assume things because I said something you didn't like. It would be retarded to add infected and weapons? Why? An AK-47 is cheap and easy to find, and there are much more than 1 type of pistol in the world, and it being the appocalypse you would think people would have guns lying all over the place.

[time2die4ever]

left 4 dead is the way 2 go

[homotoe]

when are the downloadable contents coming out????

[marianna91692]

y'know they are going to keep adding new things like they do with team fortress and also new campaigns.

[jordanmills069]

lalalaalalalala

[jordanmills069]

jgkadflhagjkhdfjadfafdashstrg

[rorydog02]

this game sucks big time

[latinoman34]

u suck XD

[TooBugahBerray]

gow 2 suks balls it didnt even get nominated Zacxx2011 fukin n hell metal gear solid 4 won the game of the year and it deserves it my best game of all time i love it

[nintendopenguin4000]

luv it plyd the demo ">

[Residenteviltrilogy]

Of course no one listen when he screams to rally on them its only 1 human and him and 2 bots. Haha fail IGN!

[RoflCopterGoesSwosh]

Just got L4D

[Prower114]

I love left for dead but I really want to see a new half life game.

[Y2Jlegend]

That guys never played the game

[WutzAGamertag]

this game is beauuuut

[adamfruitcake]

Definately a tough year for games, I think Fallout 3 and GTA 4 are the best of the year...not alot to pick between them!

[punkboy122]

one of the best games ever!!!!

[kpbilal]

game of the year is fallout 3 defenitly

[SkullBallMovies]

agreed

[kranti84]

Metal Gear Solid 4

[DaveO15]

What about it?

[dalek22]

Yeah, fallout3 is a very good game.. It may be like oblivion sort of but it is a great game especially the music.

[kop0p]

Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2 are the best games of the year (in my opinion but everyone likes difrent games)

[pgirao93]

same same

[Zacxx2011]

GOW 2 wtf are you talking about that multiplayer is horrid!

[bobbytim01]

mgs4

[Rsamaroo2193]

its only a nominee not the real game of the year

[CancerPanther]

FALLOUT 3 is by far the best game of the year it makes gta4 look like a nintendo game although i liked gta4 fallout 3 is easily the best game of the year

[sangolt88]

Resident Evil is more in my direction :P

[erik15792]

WHAT IS THIS!? fallout 3 game of the year for sure

[supermutant94]

i agree gta4 wasnt the best game this year thats for sure.

[PimblyCharles]

I think you're wrong. GTA IV is almost perfect except for replay value. The story is the best in years. Left 4 Dead is great, but definately not game of the year...

[calapanpo]

L4D is really good, but there's not much to it. Only 4 chapters, each being a little too short. The versus games have no variety in their maps, if left 4 dead had maps redesigned for MP, a few more zombie classes (maybe something like a vampire/darkseeker), and a LOT more weapons ( because 6 isn't nearly enough, maybe an AK-47, M4, and a larger variety of pistols) then it would easily surpass GTA4 and FO3

[Brian1454]

totally agree

[Hydroaqu24]

hes got a point its always fun when you play with people who are first time players because then you get to feel as though ur saving someones life

[TF2KF]

valve dont hate the ps3 if sony made windows then it would have come to ps3 but microsoft own windows and valve is useing windows so people can play ther games so valve made a deal

and just lke sony they dont want to sell blueray

and microsoft dont want sony to get l4d haha

i think thats right

[Haippitus]

theres a few downsides tho, numerous exploitable bugs, too short, too repetive, and then ofc the problems with the servers, steam's Match Making-system and so far you can't set a password to your own server.. well you can, but it wont do you any good cause the MM system ignores it and shoves random ppl to ur server.. wich sucks, big time.

[Haippitus]

L4D is good, but not GOTY material, not even close.

The poor desing in the Versus mode just makes it one of the most frustrating games iv'e ever played...

Coop is good, almost great. Killing those zombies with your mates is great fun for hours, and theres even moments where you learn new things about ppl you thought you already know...

[qn5r]

Really want to get this!

[darekjarosz86]

when will they have it on ps3?

[qn5r]

Never valve hate the ps3

[supermutant94]

no they dont why did you have to say that?

they said it may come to ps3 in the future,

not that we would play it, dosent look that impressive, anyway i would be much better off

playing cod 4 or killzone 2.

[brooklypark]

really... why? just because ps3's processer is different from PC and X box.. or is Bill gates paying them not to bring over to ps3?

[supermutant94]

valve said it might come to ps3 in the future,

any way what do you like about this game?

[brooklypark]

fo'real.. shit cause if it do.. damn... more disc space means more zombie to kill!

[supermutant94]

true plus better graphics but you can just get it for your pc if it doesnt.

[brooklypark]

LOL.. tell me about it... shit.. i hate the face that my computer cannot run it right

[qn5r]

I wish it would come to the PS3, but it isn't even in PRODUCTION, so they won't bother with it. Also they cba to do it. Frankly they make PC games and porting them to 360 is easy.  But to PS3 is impossible, look what happened to Orange Box they gave it to EA for christs sake

[BrianJensen]

lol poor console owners, why can't u build a pc like everyone else? And dont say its cause you dont have the money cause u can make a gaming rig for less than $500

[20RealisT09]

I do have a gaming pc.. 8000gt card & 3gb ram but ps3 kicks pc's ass every time. every online pc game has hackers... i've never seen a hacker on ps3...

[ChiaKaCheng]

yes, you are damn right, i agree. ps3 has no aimbot. and you have to upgrade your pc everytime a new software or graphics chipset come out claiming it's better than its predecessor, thats bollocks. with console you have no worries in its performance in handling graphics-heavy game or lagness. and you dont have to upgrade it, use it until it's really becoming obsolete

[20RealisT09]

Finally someone who gets my point.

[balbaldoodoo]

not really for an 9800gt (best graphics card out now) it will take awhile for a new and better graphics card will come out

Consoles only stick to one graphics which is an 8600 gtx its still good but was time goes on better looking games are gonna be released. There is gonna be a xbox w/e and its gonna cost more then a gaming graphics card/processor/ etc.

[qn5r]

Any PC for UNDER $500 is frankly not even comparable to a Wii. I have a 360, PS3 and an M1730 laptop. I prefer gaming on consoles.

[BrianJensen]

at least 20Realis had some clue as to what he was talking about, u sir, have no fucking clue.

[qn5r]

Ok a Wii was a bit too far. I have BUILT pc's but never comparable to an Xbox 360 or PS3, not under $500. I mean a half decent graphics card aka 8800gt would take a big chunk off that. So mobo, PSU, RAM, HDD would all be low budget crap.

[BrianJensen]

actually you can get a 4850, or a GTX260 and DDR2 ram and a fast Dual Core for quite the good price and anything over an 8800 will beat a 360 and PS3. 360 runs on the Radeon 2K series and PS3 runs on a advanced 7800, but gets the rest of its power from its CPU which reallly doesn't do much. They found more power in the SKUs

[tjpark1111]

2K series??? i was thinking more along the lines of an X1800.....

[Pointyfern]

$500 won't get you a good "gaming rig" at all. Unless you're playing:

a) On the lowest of the lowest settings on any respectable game.

b) You're playing games that are 4 or more years old, but on top settings! Hurrah!

[ChiaKaCheng]

huh? they gave it to EA? why? isnt that belong to valve?

[qn5r]

They only allowed them to publish orange box for ps3, because they couldn't be arsed to do it themselves. (They had no PS3-specific facilities lol)
