Gregs day 0 L4D2 lan,

Hour 1: Awesome
Hour 2: Great

*Dave shows up*

Rest of the day: UTTER FAIL.

Still some good quotes came about,

Me: "The lolocaust arose, ensued and was overcome."

Greg: "NOOOO! NOT ANOTHER F***ING WITCH!!"

Dave: "I don't have L4D2 yet because I'm a fanny and bought the boxed version."

On a side note the person at valve that messed up the engine must fix it in the next week or I will make it the focus of my remaining days to ensure they die in a fire.

That is all.

Update on Greg quote,

"wow, maybe it wasn't a good idea to drink ten of those things in a day"

(in reference to quick energy jolt shots)

Where ever I go, I'll always take the fail with me...

I'll just say this, I wanted a retail box to go with the 1st one

2nd how was I meant to know that the retail copy would be out later than the rest of the world (UK in short supply of copies...)

So... I'm not going to say that phrase HA

Now it seems that anyone who orders L4D 2 from retail and steam in the UK now has to wait till Friday (from WIN to FAIL in a matter of posts...)

I've kind of given up until they patch this failure of engine design. I don't want to get bored of the game while it still doesn't work for me.

Runs flawlessly,sometimes a bit stuttery on my old rig (but that's 1920 * 1200 for ya!)

What problems are you having with it?

Richies game crashes with C++ errors constantly. About 20minutes into the game or whenever the level changes.

Can't say I've had any problems with it myself but I've only played a few games so far.

your probaly the only person in the world that i have heard that is having a problem with l4d2

Nah I'm far from the only person, there is a vast range of errors that cause crashes but the C++ thing does seem to be rare. And unfixable. Which is just my luck because that most likely means they won't patch it. And I will burn their houses down.

I'm starting to wish I had gone the boxed route now then at least I would have a disc to snap in half and throw out the window. Somehow deleting a file and still seeing it on my steam list in the uninstall section doesn't provide the same savage joy.

Well i finally had a chance to give it a proper play yesterday, am definitely liking it, a good evolution of the concept.

Couldn't get any online matches going and found that if you get grabbed by a smoker when a wandering witch has locked onto you she'll just stand infront of you, arms spread ready to rip you in half.
When the smoker was killed i was instantly on the ground having my face removed, no knockdown animation or no brief pause before she let rip, was pretty funny!


Hoping the server connectivity issue has been resolved now though, wanna kick some online over the weekend


Can't say i'm massivly impressed with the AI, i've noticed alot of the time i'll be miles ahead of them (on clear sections) before they decide that i am indeed their leader and they play catch up.....then when they finally catch up they have a habit of standing around waiting again


TL-DR

Witch + smoker = lolz

AI != intelligent (one for the true geeks there:) )

Server connectivity = teh ballZ0rs (yesterday anyway)

On the AI front I agree. It's like playing with a tree behind the controls.

What annoys me most is their reluctance to shoot when a smoker / hunter / jockey has you. They prefer to run up and melee you. Pisses me off intensely they dont just shoot the gits.

agreed mate, i also find that they seem to delay in rescuing you more than in the original. A few times i was either jockied pretty much off the bloody map or bled out on the floor

They've got a bugs list so i've posted about the smoker/witch thing, gonna have a blast in a bit and see how things are with it today
