I tried to go early this morning and pick up the game before class but appparently the minor snowstorm that hit the the Great Lakes region last night delayed majority of the trucks coming into Buffalo so I have to wait until tonight.

Preordered it, should be awesome after seeing the demo.
Great game and versus mode is so much fun. One time in versus my infected team killed all the survivors before they even got through the apartment.
Yea, the tank is insane on vs 5000 Health. and it goes down soooo slow.
Unless the tank is on fire, and then you die instantly after 30 or so seconds which is pretty !@$!ing idiotic.

I hate that poop. It was VS. and all but me got punched off the roof in the No Mercy Finale and then a random zombie punched me once and we lost. URGH!
Daaamn this game is brutal on expert.

It shouldn't be any less imo. Expert is pretty darn hard though. I've got No Mercy and Death Toll finished on expert. Got half-way through Dead Air but I was too tired. Only 9 or so more achievements to go.

Oh no I'm not doubting that it should be any less, just after finnishing No Mercy on expert it makes me scared of Blood Harvest's corn field...

Love this game, especially on expert.
Spend about 5 hours (over 2 days) on Death Toll. The part that held us back was after the Train safe room. Were you're goal is to get up to the next safe room with the crazy guy in it. Stupid bushes! Some guy joined me and 2 others, i let him out of the closet and said 'Welcome to the game, mate' next thing i know he kills us all 
But we finished it last night, and it was awesome, even if i did die before i got on the boat. Dead air is my fav at the moment.
Steam Friends name is DietSpam. Add me and I'll join you guys some time

Ha ha, man you were asking for it. Even though I would have been pissed myself, my sadistic side would have lol'd pretty hard.
So my steamID is Carr, but since there's only a million Carr's, I'll just give you the link to it.

Yes, I know, self-ego booster in the title.
So if you ever want to go for a game, expert/versus or whatever, just send an invite.

The Campaign Mode is fine, but there's a few issues with Versus.
#1 - The Tank's health becomes bugged to the controller when they're lit on fire.
#2 - There's a very consistent "spawn bug" where you get stuck in spectator/spawning in ... mode for long than you're supposed to.
#3 - Servers all support 8-slots, therefore Admins of dedicated servers may choose that their server is for Expert-Campaign mode only, yet what they don't realize is the Match-making will que their server up for Versus on a whim. This means the expert-difficulty will reside in the Versus match, making it very difficulty for Survivors, thus un-fun.
#4 - I honestly think the Smoker needs a revamp. The idea behind the Smoker is fine, it's just I've hardly seen the Smoker successfully tear another survivor apart from the main group except in very specific occasions. That part of the "survivor pull" doesn't even cause damage until they are successful pulled to the Smoker or they are caught on an obstacle.
#5 - Binding kill to a key for a Boomer player no longer makes melee'ing/hoping players are stupid enough to shoot you a dangerous choice anymore. You can just self-explode on your own will with the key. That's not how the mechanic for the Boomer should work.
#6 - Servers that support all-talk should be banned from Versus-matchmaking.
The rest I can think of arn't really that important.

The demo was fun enough that I'll probably buy this for myself for Christmas. As a bit of an aside, are TF2/Portal etc. good enough to warrant the extra $40 for the full Package? I watched some TF2 gameplay videos and they look pretty good.

Most definately.

Purchased this game a few nights ago, and I've been hooked on it ever since. Out of the 20 or so games I've played, I've been Bill for like 16 of them >.<
I guess it likes me being a chain smoking, vietnam veteran old man.
I've been all four characters though, and some of the conversations they have are just hilarious.

Portal is a well-done puzzle game than has some funny pitch-black humor. It's not necessarily a very long game, but it doesn't overstay its welcome.
TF2, on the otherhand, is a great multiplayer experience. The game is surprisingly balanced as well as the continuous class update patches that provide the game with more content.

The same can go for those mods now popping up. Found a vid which had the TF2 Stages and it was more simpson themed XD

Zoey ftw!!
I love this game, been playing it with my friend all week.
Mm, also, I usually don't like referencing Yahtzee, but he actually gave L4D something of a praise, which, if I have my "Zero Punctuation Score Card" written correctly, makes it one of the best games ever (in his book, at least... if I have my math right).
i just got this game from steam which i hate steam -_- D2D ftw anyway its downloading right now and i hope its worth the 49.99 -_-

He liked portal Better, And has stated that Half life is good (better than halo anyway) So that makes Valve pretty much a bucket full of awesome. in his book, at least 
2D version. It's pretty fun.

You know when Yahtzee actually likes a game, but isn't allowed to say so because he's payed to be/enjoys the image of being a tw*t, because he says he 'doesn't know what to make of a game' and kind of flim-flams his way through the conclusion.

actually i thought he outright said prince of persia (i forget which, I think 2) was the best game ever. He references it constantly as a "game that does things right" template.
.Just cause it is bound to happen (and how I hate Bill with a passion).
Avalod, you're not funny. You have a horrible sense of humor, and need to stop posting garbage everywhere.

Well im sorry if my sense of humor is not what youd expect. Is kind of sad when im welcomed everywhere else with open arms. But seems MxO has a few people who just think there better then everyone. Sorry, but you along with everyone else who keeps trying to get some sort of reaction out of me like in the past need to grow a pair.
Settle down, settle down, we can all agree to have a bit of a sense of humour.
And yes, I am that bored.
Thats all I got....

You two really need to get a room.
These two are based on something that happened (within 5 seconds) when I was playing last week.
