I bought Left 4 Dead for cheap yesterday and I don't regret it (because I bought it for nearly half-price). I didn't buy it earlier because I played the demo on the Xbox Live Marketplace a while back and it felt like a zombie-themed Counter Strike. I thought the gameplay was entirely too fast-paced. However, I was wrong. The fast-paced gameplay allows for the a lot of frantic fun. Thus far it's a fun game to play, but I have some slight problems with it. My main problem thus far is that it feels entirely too short to be a game that is normally sixty dollars. The game is comprised of four acts with five chapters in each act. The chapters (at least on the normal difficulty) go by in the blink of an eye. So, having only played it for a few hours today, I have beaten 75% of the game.
Interesting, but definitely NOT worth full price.
Is it just me, or is everyone getting married now? If they aren't engaged, they're already married. Is it just that time? Are people's twenties the time when they should be settling down?
I don't know.
I'm beginning to oscillate away from video games again. My life is becoming more involved with calling Tramaine, keeping in touch with friends and family, and getting work done. I have so many games on the waitlist, so many titles I havent played or finished. Strangely, whenever I play games that require that I invest a lot of time (i.e. RPGs) I quickly become bored unless I can sit in place and grind. (I just don't have the time to play through an eighty-hour story anymore.) Video games just seem like a low priority right now.
Meh... maybe my interest will pique later.
