I has it for PC:Tessian wrote:holy shit... I just finally BEAT the first level... that's gotta be one of the most intense games I've ever played. Especially at the end where you gotta survive on the roof for 15 minutes.
I know Bovine and Chris have it for PC, does anyone else?
All you CAN do is AVOID the witch. Turn off your flashlights and sneak past her. If she freaks one of you is dying, most likely.bovine wrote:let's schedule a time for doing that. I couldn't get through the second level in the first "movie" or whatever, on my own. A scary witch freaked me out and killed me.

I just finished the 2nd movie (Death Toll) and that was pretty damn fun. Whenever you're on just give me a ring, unfortunately tonight I gotta go out and be social
Yea, one of the first achievements I noticed. Not sure I will ever it it ;DSineSwiper wrote:Anybody notice the Zombie Genocide achievement? It wants you to kill 53935 zombies, which is one more than the 53934 you need to kill on Dead Rising for the same achievement.
One of the safe houses in the game has a wall of people competing for how many zombies they killed "I GOT SEVEN" "39!" and at the bottom is this number or near it, lolSineSwiper wrote:Anybody notice the Zombie Genocide achievement?

I'm thinking it's a bigger number than it seems. because every playthrough I've gotten complete fucktons of kills....like a few hundred each round which is an hour longish....Tessian wrote:One of the safe houses in the game has a wall of people competing for how many zombies they killed "I GOT SEVEN" "39!" and at the bottom is this number or near it, lolSineSwiper wrote:Anybody notice the Zombie Genocide achievement?

I'm at about 7400 right now. I'd love to do it, actually. That game is so much fun to play. I'd like to get a group to play Expert. It'll require 4 people to work together very, very well, though. And not too many here have it on 360, unfortunatelyAnarky wrote:Yea, one of the first achievements I noticed.

Yea, one stray shotgun blast is game over. Normal zombies are a bitch too, you have to play much differently.Tessian wrote:Anarky mentioned that on Expert friendly fire can basically one shot your teammates... so I won't be able to play expert for some time, lol.
I tried doing advanced with a pickup group the other day and we just couldn't complete the rescue at the end... that alone is vastly different from normal.
Damn, I haven't been able to get through a campaign without shooting anyone yet. Sounds like you definitely have to have a point person who's crouching and people looking everywhere the whole time. And the melee attack is probably even more important then too, ain't it?Anarky wrote:Yea, one stray shotgun blast is game over.

Why would you want to do that? That's part of the fun of the game, the atmosphere and the tension it createsbovine wrote:this is my tank music. What is yours? It certainly eases the tension of the appearance of the tank.
Though I actually prefer playing the Infected!Nah, but I saw the video on it. Funny stuff. Also...Anarky wrote:HAHA did you install it too?SineSwiper wrote:Versus is very fun. That is all. Oh, and don't talk shit about Total.
That game is perfectly built for additional scenarios to be added to it. And unlike other stupid DLC (ie. horse armor) it will be a perfect expansion and well worth the coin assuming Microshaft doesn't try to shaft us on it. $5 per scenario is max IMO, I'd like to see them do 2 for 600 points (8 bucks) or something.louis wrote:<a href="http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs. ... -360">Left 4 Dead DLC news coming "shortly" to PC, 360</a>
More content coming! I'm already happy and I've only been playing since Saturday.
Valve has stated that they don't like to charge people for DLC, but that is Microshafts deal. This is why I buy Valve games on PC though, TF2 on Xbox has still to get any of the class changes or patches.Zeus wrote:That game is perfectly built for additional scenarios to be added to it.

Of course, you PC guys will probably get it for free......

Boomer
Pros: You puke on the survivors to draw the swarm on the survivors.
Cons: Almost zero survivability. You run in, you puke, you die.
Smoker
Pros: You can hide behind a corner or on a building and shoot your "grappling tongue" to bring a survivor in closer.
Cons: It just isn't fun to play this class. This is my least favorite roll upon spawn.
Hunter
Pros: High damage. Better health. Higher survivability because you can "pounce" around fairly quickly.
Cons: Once you pounce a survivor, there isn't really anything else you can do. It took me several tries to properly play as a Hunter, but once you grasp it you have tons of fun!
Oh, and their ranged toss skill takes a while to execute and leaves you open to attack.Yeah, exactly. They WANT to give it to us but Microshaft won't let them unless they charge. They don't want to charge to give themselves a bad name so they keep it out. That's what happened with the Gears 1 maps where Epic finally conceded and allowed a timed charge for the stuff and then free 6 months later.Anarky wrote:Valve has stated that they don't like to charge people for DLC, but that is Microshafts deal.

And I'm the opposite. I MUCH prefer a controller over a keyboard/mouse setup. I loved Wolfenstein and all (hated Doom and Quake) but it's just so much more comfy to be on the couch on my chaisse with controller in hand than in a computer chair.louis wrote:At this point I pretty much exclusively play PC games. The only things I play on consoles at this point are sports titles. Even most popular console games come to PC unless its an exclusive title. I've tried playing FPS games with a controller and I'm horrible at it. I've been getting better though. I just need to practice. I'm used to sitting back in my cushy computer chair with my feet on the desk and my wireless keyboard in my lap playing MMOs. I've had to change my "stance"!
I may also purchase a better mouse for gaming. I was experimenting the other day with my wireless mouse compared to a similar wired device. I can tell a noticeable difference. A friend recommended I purchase a Logitech G5. I'm thinking about splurging and getting the G9. I may pick up a keyboard too. I want an illuminated one.
Those are the big drawbacks to PC gaming. Hardware management (figuring out why game A doesn't work with driver version B ) and cost can be frustrating. You just have to learn to troubleshoot and shop around to get the best bang for your buck when upgrading. For me personally though, the end experience is excellent. Its all in what you have fun playing.Zeus wrote:Also, I'd never want to pay to keep up my hardware. I did back in the 486 days but since I'm not a big PC gamer I don't feel the need to anymore. Yesterday I just got my first LCD monitor for cryin' out loud :-)
