Agreed, it was bad ass. Also that is a cool ass sig you got right there.

I played the demo tonight.. and I was both pleasantly surprised and yet disappointed..

Surprised because of how many zombies rush at you at one time.. I was just awe struck...

but.. disappointed because of how arcade-y it is... unlimited ammo pistols.. melee is like god-mode.. and theres no real fear of the enemies

wasit just me that felt i was ice skating around the levels while walking about? feels like a typical pc game... didnt feel like my character had any weight.

I dont know, when 30 of them with a hunter are about to attack you, there was an "oh ****" moment in there.

I like its arcadey feel. Playing on hard with 3 other people was pretty hard. There were numerous times in the first two levels that I almost died, or needed health pretty bad. I think the difficulty is balanced for fun and a little fear, especially if there is a few more levels to that main level. Im thinking it gets harder.

I barely got a chance to try the demo after announcing it had been released here, and my little try was ruined by a game-breaking bug. One of the first Zombies I met in the apartment was immortal, so I never got to proceed because my teammates stayed in that one room waiting for the immortal Zombie to die, which it never did...

Thanks. Check out my Sig thread in the Sig Forum for all my Sigs.

Perhaps because the Director did not feel you needed to be swarmed?

There's no ****ing way you played on Expert. No way! That game is hard and the AI director always changes how the hordes attack.

No fear of the enemies my ass. They ALWAYS come from both sides on expert.

well.. I kinda liked being swarmed.. what was stupid was that after I got swarmed and unable to move.. I just spun around and spammed melee to save myself.. worked every time

I dunno what difficulty the demo was on... but it really wasnt a good first impression, I can say that much

In real life, if swarmed by zombies, what you would do?

Ummm start hitting them with anything to get away??

The melee isnt very powerful. It takes numerous hits to kill the zombies. It allows you to get some room to shoot you. If they didnt have that, once you get swarmed, you might as well die.

Overall from the demo i give it an 8.5/B+

Again, not on Expert. Sigh, you are complaining about nothing basically.

I played the demo today, and I don't think I've ever been as excited for a game as instantly as this.

Admittedly it has also come at the right time, because I want some more multiplayer games that are decent.

I don't get how people say it's not a game where you fear the enemies. It's arguably the most panic inducing game I've ever played. It does everything with limited lighting and claustrophobia that Doom 3 tried and failed to do.

I'm surprised that there wasnt any dickheads playing the demo. Everyone generally tried to work together.

That was one thing that can seriously **** this game up.

One of the main reasons i was dreading getting it on 360, it was a nice change to have civil team players in a match.

You guys got lucky. I've been in one or two groups where one guy was a dick and attacked us. Also been in a group at the start menu where one hispanic guy claimed that he had the N-word guy. I should've cursed him out.

I played with my friends for the first time. It's much better with them than others.

We played on expert, and we couldnt finish the demo. Its ****ing tough. I really like the AI director though, its pretty intense. Every game was completely different and there was a few holy shit moments. One of them was in the apt's and we could hear the mob of zombies coming but we couldnt see where. What happens next literally made me say "oh shit", hundred of those bad boys came through the door. It was insane.

Anoter holy shit moment happened near the end. We finally made it just before the big room with the minigun, we're all low on health, well, I think 2 died and both of us had 15 or so health while it was dwindling. I start booking it near and a turn a corner and its the ****ing Tank. Obviously I died. It was too damn fun.
