The physical form of blasphemy
How do you gain access to the cheats and stuff(what are they)?

Yeah, saw that in the L4D411 news post. Basically Japanese tentacle "stuff", if you know what I mean.Hazaro said::lol

Wow the PC version looks AMAZING on max settings! Makes me wish I had $800 to blow!
Looks like they finally started airing the commercials. Saw the first TV spot a bunch of times tonight.

I've seen the commercial close to starting a week ago!

Nvm. Got it to work. Should have googled in the first place. That level is long as hell. O_O

BAH!
My Live Gold 48 hr code won't work for this!

Ugh, what a time for a hardware failure. My laptop's continuing decline into uselessness finally took the life of a critical component (hard drive), so it seems like high time to just build a real rig. So, no more demo for me.
Kill some zombies for me, GAF (while I go pick out parts and consult the "need a new PC" thread).

Played it single player on the 360 and yeah, have to agree with the lack of wow. The pacing feels like its controlled (which it is of course), but I didn't expect it to be so obvious - scattered zombies, then a massive vomit of the fuckers out of everywhere, followed by dead quiet. Rinse and repeat.
No close-up aim mode seems weird to get used to but is probably a godsend in this kind of game. Graphics seem a generation behind frankly, and there's a lot of clipping and walking through other characters going on. Lastly, the icons for picking up items are pretty weird too but I ended up getting used to it after a while.
All in all its decent, but I'm sure co-op is what brings this sucker to life. Just figured there would be more to it that I could glean from solo play.
Man, after playing Gears maybe I'm expecting for too much from other games right now.

Day 1 for me.
8 week school holidays are coming up, I really want to reward myself with gaming after these shitty exams. Gears of War 2 is good but the first had more staying power; IMO the matchmaking needs to be fixed to keep me hooked.
Furthermore I enjoyed the demo and thought the game was a fresh experience.

Temp-bans should be handed out for anyone posting impressions that has not played co-op on expert. 
It's like commenting on Battfield without playing the MP.

Congratulations, you get the obvious knee-jerk reply award.
Not saying the game is crap by any means - have had it pre-ordered since I heard the concept and Valve uttered in the same sentence, and am looking forward to the real deal getting delivered soon enough.
I'm positive of two things: 1. Co-op will bring this corpse of a game to frightening life, and 2. I'm probably going to end up team killing regardless of my best efforts - and I *never* hurt teammates in other games.
Just surprised by my first impression is all. I guess I expected the mayhem, but I also expected more physicality to the whole production. It feels floaty, and doesn't seem to fit as natural on the console as I expected it would.

This is damn easy to fix. Just don't include a single player mode in your game, or in your demo. Otherwise ya know, people might end up playing it and stuff.

Sounds like you made a knee-jerk reaction to the game after a couple of rounds of the game in SP mode on Normal difficulty.

I don't get it. Anyway, I'm glad your beast of a laptop is working now.Fox318 said:
Test out your processor and quadro's performance with the following commands in game single player.
in console:
sv_cheats 1
god 1
bind g "give propanetank"
z_throwforce 19000
hit G and fire (MOUSE 1) a bunch of times against the wall closely and see how smooth it goes. :lol

Will do, and I'm sure you're right. Wish I tried it co-op first - there's not much to impress in single player alone. Hell, I didn't even know the game even had a single player mode.

Sorry, I didn't mean framerates exactly. It's just stressing out the source engine and your laptop. Propane explosion madness.Fox318 said:

obviously, hehe. Notice how I have no creativity. Must go through cvars when I have down time.Fox318 said:
Oh man... the director was being a real pain in the arse to one of my teams on expert. We took like 4 tries to get past the apartment level. However, the 4th attempt was epic... we barely made it to the building near the cars, and then they one of them noticed us in the buildings and they started swarming us. I threw a molotov right where most of them came through, but 30 plus managed to get through and had to be taken out in the dark (like half went to the double doors connected to the room and started bashing it in). Amazingly, none of us fell down throughout that mess.
I killed 99 zombies in that round... I took 28 damage, and I didn't hit any of my teammates even once. I felt like a hero.

I gotta say, it's actually a little disappointing for me now if I don't run into a tank.
Poor Bill getting smacked by the train door the tank busted open
He was avenged though...

I gave my first impression of Splinter Cell:CT's multiplayer after exploring the maps a couple times, too. Wasn't as awesome as people were saying.NullPointer said:

Obviously nobody here knows, but it'll be well before the release of the game. You know Gabe Newell and Doug Lombardi respond to their e-mails, right?Costanza said:
