L4D2 Boycott +3 points
The animation was pretty smooth, it was a little more realistic then the game turns out to be, I liked the first person view, not a lot of flashes dare to try it.
As for the boycott, I preordered L4D1 and thought it was okay, its something fun to play when you are tired of playing against smart AI or just want to go on a mass killing spree. I liked the contrasting characters and all. The fact that they want to make a new L4D instead of upgrading the old one seems to suggest L4D is not being made by the same VALVe that makes the other games. The part L4D1 scared me with was its endorsment by EA, which has a resounding record of sequeling over errors instead of patching a game. That could be why VALVe is doing this, I agree with the boycott, I want more in L4D before I'll cough up more then 20 dollars for a new L4D when the first one is still lacking.
I hope they get their shit together before they do this, sadly no matter what, dumbasses will still buy L4D2 and it will probably be a good game, but it just screws the players of the original or those who are major players in third party development. I have yet to play Killing Floor but from what I hear it is basically an FU to VALVe's decisions on L4D, third party made its own game since VALVe fell through with the DLC and the advanced SDK.
I hope you boycott guys succeed, I joined the boycott for a while but I kept getting my games minimized by constant events, I support though, good luck.
