    You're welcome for the code.
    I cannot wait until the full version comes out (hence I already pre-orderd it), but i do hope one thing kinda gets balanced is the health of the special infected.
    I mean it in the way where if you are the only one left you're pretty much done for. I know that Turtle rock studios doesn't want people to solo blast through the campaign and I respect that. I just hope they find that balance where you can still (barely) survive when your entire team is down, but be punished for leaving your team behind

    I feel the same way, the gunplay is great and the game is fun, but the whole card system is confusing and unneeded tbh, the maps are rather short and there's no downtime in those maps, the game director needs to chill with the spawns and has got to stop spawing special ridden every 1 second, the characters are a bit lackluster in terms that, atleast as of right now, have very few lines so you'll just hear the same voicelines over and over again, and finally, when you're already planning to have dlc during the closed alpha of the game, that's a horrible fucking sign and it makes me feel like this is going to be Evolve all over again.

  • @suzusuzujuicy

    I like the Left 4 Dead franchise, but Back 4 Blood doesn't really seem like it's for me. They made the characters a little less interesting, or maybe too flashy for my taste. Graphics look great, but again, too flashy. The card system is my biggest problem. Why do we need it? The zombies and stuff are fine, I don't have any problems with that. They look okay.
    Back 4 Blood's take on the "kill zombies, do objectives, run the fuck away" is a little too complex for me. Card drops, cards, specific skills and all. Yes, I could take the time to learn how it works, but is it fun? It's like learning how to play a card game because I was forced to.
    There's also the possibility of modding the game (custom campaigns, survivor retextures, etc) not being possible, or heavily regulated. The reason why I keep playing Left 4 Dead is specifically because of that. The modding aspect adds a lot of replayability for the game.
    So essentially: B4B will either be a great game or an absolute shitstorm on release, no in betweens.

    The price of the game is laughable for what it is (NOT A TRIPLE A), and the regional prices are a joke.

    The thing I like about this game is that it's hard. I haven't played it but from what I watched the difficulty seems to be tied to logic and competency. You can't just spray and pray everything in sight otherwise you will run out of ammo fast and the zombies are relentless with specials being threatening.

    mmmmmmm...I don't know. I think I'll stick with World War Z as my "Modern Left 4 Dead". The Main Issue with Back 4 Blood is that the Magazines are too small and Weapon Drops too few to get close to the feeling of a Left 4 Dead and the Card System doesn't seem to add all that much Value to it, besides picking what Weapon you want to start with.
