How hardcore is the L4D2 community? I have next to no experience with online multiplayer :x
Thanks for the Titan Quest recs, everyone. I actually knew about that one and it just slipped my mind for some reason. Waiting for the Daily Deal now...
Oh? I didn't realize that one fit the genre. My mouse will hovering over the "Add to Cart" button for the next several hours.

Unless the community has changed, be prepared to be yelled at for just about everything.

nah...that is only a minority of people imo.
Half Life 3!!
In story mode your fine, most people can't screw it up that bad... Unless on Expert.
Versus Mode, play with friends or people will rage quit like hell or kick you if the team is losing.
Whoever was in that tree house so compiled the final build for Half Life 3.
Last day of the sale is about everything half life.

Seriously i haven't played online since i suck in any server i play in :lol
Huh? I bought it.
And a complete noob to boot? I'd suggest downloading Team Fortress 2 for free and learning the ropes of online multiplayer with that. The two communities are polar opposites. TF2 is one of the most relaxed, jovial experiences you're gonna find. L4D2 is angry, hardcore, nerd rage. You do not want to be learning with that game. They'll turn you off to online forever.

I have 600+ hours (it's actually the first and only multiplayer game I've ever liked for any amount of time).
It's fine if you only play co-op maps. I've never really seen anyone be an ass in just a co-op game as there's no competition involved. You are just playing through the levels with other people, all on the same team.
However, it becomes a bit more contentious if you want play team vs team. Like most Multiplayer games you will have to take your lumps as you learn the ropes and you'll probably get kicked several (or many) times, but that's true of basically every team focused competitive Multiplayer game I can think of.
I have a code for Dead Island GOTY (includes DLC) from GMG that I am looking to trade. I want the SSFIV AE all in costume pack for it (on sale for $7.49). PM me if you or anyone else is interested.

It just totally depends on who you get paired up with. I've been randomly matched up with some lovely, helpful people. Then I've also been paired up with some utter dicks. It's a toss-up.
It's a sign that the real summer sale will start soon...
I'd suggest just playing the game with friends or gaffers.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Depressing.

Well, I'm more interested in the co-op. Do you need to have four people, or can you get by with less?

Sweet, someone bought Blades of Time. Thanks for the impressions Zimbardo, I may actually pick it up since I do enjoy those type of action/hack 'n slash games. It's been 75% off for the duration of the sale so not really any need to hold out for the unlikely chance of a daily.
Oh, can't believe I lost that. Any idea of how long should it take to go on sale again? (I really have no clue).

4 is best, but it's really easy to find public games. I almost always play public games with strangers, and like I said I've never had much problem with the co-op games (although it's a multiplayer game so there's never a guarantee).
The campaigns are short so just start out on easy or normal your first time and you should be fine.
I beat it last night, you're right at the end. Are you on the first one or the second one? The second one wasn't hard once I realized I could

No. It's GFWL.
Got Witcher 2 myself today, can't wait until my exam is done on Saturday so I can play the bloody thing.

I may actually go unscathed today. Bodes well in case 3-4 games hit that I have on my list of buys.

I know just thought I maybe I could still activate it. Damnit!
You can get by with less. A lot of the time I can complete entire campaigns without dying once on Advanced playing solo. As long as you're not playing Expert, it's not that difficult. Even with just another person you should have a lot of fun with co-op.
The game will always have 4 characters, if there are less than 4 players the remaining slots will be filled by bots.

I'm glad I got here okay, but now I'm paranoid I missed a day in the beginning.
You can see Cyl jumping out so I think he accidentally ignited the fireworks while he was smoking his bong.

Those were actually my favorite puzzles. If you beat those its all downhill from there. Keep at it.

If you don't want to follow the regular thread, you should at least subscribe to the Valve RSS feed. It went on sale for 4.99 a couple weeks before the sale began.
I'm of the opinion dude is batshit insane and thinks he can rocket to the moon with the rockets he's holding.

I wanted it, but literally everyone else on GAF says no. They've convinced me not to get it, even though it'd be under $2 per person for a 4-pack.
