hot take: melee weapons are much more fun. Especially katana or guitar doesnt get boring like SMG etc. where u just shoot from a distance and it becomes almost automatic like a reflex, and the fact that u are up close to infected while using a melee is a bonus :) ty for your vids!
hot take: i prefer the shotguns instead of the silenced smg in dead center after you exit the elevator. the spread is better for the hordes you deal with in close quarters. people dont even seem to know that there are shotguns in a gun case in that side room that infected come out of
In expert, I think the Tank should down you on landing. The fact that it doesn't knock you away, but immediately slaps you down is jarring, because for me, the biggest threat of the Tank isn't that it can knock you down, but that it can launch you somewhere worse.
I think the point with "left 4 dead remaster" was a remaster that includes BOTH games, not just 1. I think they would have specified "left 4 dead 1" otherwise, as most people do.
Hot take: As good as left 4 dead 2 is, it missed the point. The original campaigns were creepy and unnerving, and many times I found myself mourning the world the infected destroyed (especially in the blood harvest farmhouse and dead centre airport). In comparison, left 4 dead 2 was so fun that I just end up feeling like an unstoppable badass instead of sorrowful.
I think Glubtastic 4: Back 4 Glub is genuenly a good survivor map with a ending. ----- It makes more sense for versus to give a boost to a team doing poorly (like the loss rewards in CS) rather than ending the game because one team was too skilled. --- I woulnt want a remaster. The game looks good enough on source as is (maybe could be ported to the CSGO version of source). If they made a remaster they would probably remove local hosting in favor of matchmaking and replace the mutations with a ingame store with lootboxes.
Hot Take: Cold stream i actually good especially for it time and plus it being added to the official games just shows how Valve still cares about its communities
I think the person who wanted "mercy" mode meant it would ONLY activate if it was literally impossible to win. So if you can make a comeback it won't activate. I'm not sure if this is a "hot" take but I feel like Left 4 Dead 2 definitely needed some sort of in-game level editor rather than just working with the hammer editor. Or at least something to go alongside the hammer editor to more easily make terrain in maps. The hammer editor is so hard to use and so frustrating to mess around with that it completely derails any attempts I've ever made to try map making.
-add legs back -add more community made maps into the official ones -add the old L4D1 point system back, the "defib" penalizer on infected should be changed for boss penalizer, if the witch/tank does absolutely nothing and dies the infected team gets points removed.
Hot take: i think The gore system is slightly overexaggerated and unrealistic with the bullets. How does a 5.56mm m16 cause an infected individual to lose an entire limb? Not to mention how special infected dont get affected at all beyond the bullet decals.
you seriously complaining about a lack of realism in a game who's plot revolves around a virus that somehow fucks with people's dna and turns them into acid spitting monstrosities and 8 foott tall morbidly buff behemoths?
@faulkinator114 lol it's just a nitpick more than anything else. I dont mind the gore system personally, I just usually disable it when I'm using assault rifles or the m60.
theres a very very loosely tied story connecting all the glubtastic games, and not all are the same level of annoying ((the one you played was probably just one of the harder ones))
Hot take Expert isn’t that hard and the only reason people think it is insanely difficult is the skill gap between advanced and expert If there was an intermediate difficulty after advanced I think people would stop believing expert is harder then it actually is
It is hard for an average player, because lower difficulties teach you bad habits, like not caring much about your positioning and friendly fire. Whenever I play with my friend, who usually plays on normal/advanced, he dives into a crowd of commons head on and gets his ass kicked from every direction.
you lose half your health to a hunter claw stumble. any friendly fire and common infected is detrimental to your resources. and tank positions ultimately decide if your survivor ai die or not. not to mention how fast hunters kill. But it is perfectly balanced and gives you intense feelings. bridging the gap only gives a taste of the real expert experience. I have done multiple no deaths with my ai managing to keep everyone alive throughout and it is very stressful. This take is just wrong. People think it's difficult because it is.
also there is a much bigger gab between normal -(x5 common dmg)- advanced then advanced -(x2 common dmg) expert, even special attack are only x2 for advanced and x3 for expert relative to normal except spitter spit that doesn't change the damage output from normal to expert. Only their melee attack are insane on expert to be equal to the common but if you are glued to them its more of a you problem then a difficulty one.
Yes, that’s called being hard lol. Realistically the only hard thing about expert for me is the infinite crescendo runs. If you don’t have a bile or 2 with an adrenaline you basically can’t even run it unless you’re all amazing players or someone gets boomed on and you sacrifice them to run ahead. I would also like to point out that EVERYTHING changes on expert. From ai behavior to health supplies being limited. I’ve noticed and maybe it’s just me but, common infected will swing at you quicker and notice you much faster when you enter an area than they would on lower difficulties. Specials are also smarter on top of having more health. It’s literally night and day it’s not just that they do more damage and are bullet sponges.
Hot take: the boomer should damage you if your close to him/her when they explode/dying like just imagine getting hit by organs and flesh at you at highspeeds

Left 4 dead 1 survivors are better than the newer cast and have better character personality and are actually funny.

Hot take: Rochelle is a great character, she just got unlucky because valve decided to cut most of the lines that made her likeable
most of it is just misogyny in my opinion. i dont see anything wrong with rochelle

is it racism now

Some custom maps are good but don't line up to Valves style if that makes sense
Factual
Hot take: a mutation or mod that adds weapon attachments would make all the weapons obsolete in what you choose
0:27 that was eerily accurate
I think Glubtastic 4: Back 4 Glub is genuenly a good survivor map with a ending.

I also have another one its also that some mods should be in base games like the health bar counters that you are using in this video
cold stream was added in 2011 and had multiple changes that valve help to make it better.

usually when it is impossible to win its either on the last chapter or 2nd to last one, meaning a "mercy" mode is just not needed.
@@lwolf3411 I was just explaining what they meant.
You already played Glubtastic 1, with me and Dan. Next would be Glubtastic 2

I think they should bring back the left4dead 1 versus scoring system maybe tweak it a little beceause the levels are longer in the sequel.

I think that's the point
The infected have very fragile skin and bones so I’m assuming that’s why it would be so easy to break off their limbs.
@Will-cq9lg and yet the witch doesn't get nothing besides bullet holes? L4d logic be weird
