I think the developers know they've run out of time to craft something triple A by this stage, given the apparent lack of changes or improvements from the closed Alpha to the Beta builds which were a year apart or something. That's why I think it's going to Game Pass. I definitely wouldn't be playing this as a full price game but as a GP release it should provide some entertainment.

Baba Yaga Fanboy posted:How does everyone else feel about the amount of guns? I felt like there were just way way way too many. Like, why are there so many variations of the same basic guns with slight differences in stats? Same goes for the attachments. When you add weapon quality on top of it, it translated to me spending way too much time hemming and hawing over stats when I'd rather be running and gunning. Looking over numbers before a mission is one thing, but once poo poo gets going I want to fight some fuckin' zombies yo As many others have said, the beauty of L4D 1 and 2 was simplicity and instant recognition of special infected and tier 2 weapons. There's too much grinding stuff here and too little variety from the Game Director, too many impossible fights on harder difficulties and not enough personality to characters. Within a short time time of playing L4D I knew each character by sight and sound. Back 4 Blood is trying to be jack of all trades, ending up as master of none.

I said come in! posted:Quick match is putting me into games where all I can do is spectate? What is the point? Maybe not enough players yet and the bots are so bad they turned them off?

The bots in the game are actually pretty decent now. I played a few rounds with humans on Recruit or whatever the lowest difficulty is and we got slaughtered. The Game Director's co-director must be loving cocaine, or Zapp Brannigan. We all got smothered in wave after wave of regular Ridden and then several specials spawned within seconds of each other. The developers have clearly never heard of combat fatigue, again something that Valve made notes about. There's just this constant flood of Ridden. When I played through with 3 bots we got through ok. Just as an aside, take the toolkit in your support slot.

RBA Starblade posted:The visual identity of the specials in this one is bad too. They all look more or less identical to me. Yeah just call them infected, zombies or anti-vaxxers. Also the special infected need to spawn less, have less health, and have distinct music stings and appearances.

Thus thread is flying now but the same is so much more loving fun with good level up cards. With mele weapons attachments I can hold the hatchet down to make a rhythm from The Enity where the ghost attacks the lead. Creepy stuff.

Just wondering if anyone has noticed some horror references in the game? The most obvious I've seen is the carpet in one of the earlier levels is from The Shining movie. When you have the hatchet equipped with cards that accelerate the melee speed, it has a similar tempo and sound to The Entity attacks in that movie.

Jack B Nimble posted:Not horror, but there's a safe room graffiti that says "This used to be a nice neighborhood!", which was a line Coach used in the l4d2 trailer. Nice catch! Anyone else? The more I play this game the more I like it. It's not Left 4 Dead but it's really gelling with me now.

Not a reference to horror as such, but I don't know if anyone has mentioned yet that Tony Todd is the voice of Rodgers.

They could use some UI ideas from Apex Legends in terms of loadouts and callouts.

Haven't played this in well over a month but I'll have to give it a go before I get back to work after a protracted time off. Some of the really unfair mechanics remind me of game design in the 90s and 00s. 90s platformers were especially punishing at times, but a game that raged me much in the 00s was Spider-Man 3. At one stage these dickheads with umbrellas would beat my bag in (how they could take a hammering from my superhuman strength is a question I will leave to the scholars), but once they stunned me, and I couldn't do poo poo for the guts of 10 seconds, they continued to attack and drain my health with impunity. Feels like that in B4B sometimes. I'm already down, stop kicking.

Does the game now give you all your cards at the start of your campaign?

I take it the expansion isn't included with Game Pass? I'm not a frequent player but I load it up occasionally and it has its moments. Are the expansions worth a total of £18 roughly?

It makes it a lot easier when everyone can quickly communicate, but the ping system is also pretty solid and lets you communicate without talking. That's a really nice thing to say, cheers! A 40 year old man shouldn't have to hear it but thank you kind goon.
