And who's your personal favorite?
L4D1 or L4D2 survivors?
Bill and 1
Coach
Francis. 2
1
Francis
one man cheeseburger apocalypse
Bill and 1
2 because Coach, Ellis, and Nick are all awesome.
My personal favorite is Zoey though.
You know who I don’t hate? I don’t hate Francis.
Easily L4D1, and Francis.
Reasoning for preferring L4D1 over 2?
They're all good, really. The only ones who I'd say bore me more than others are Rochelle, Zoey, and Francis.
Still, Valve knew how to make characters in the Source era - HL2, L4D, and TF2's casts are all just plain solid. The voice actors aren't reading their lines or overly melodramatic, the dialogue is punchy, and their designs are distinctive while not being ridiculous.
Rochelle
GRABBIN PILLS!!
>stalls your movement as you run from the Tank
i hate survivors
no one posted Zoey yet because she is everyone's favorite by default
Axe me a question. I dare you.
I just like Bill, Francis and Zoey in particular. I don't care for Nick's slimy archetype, and Rochelle is Rochelle. Coach is alright though, I'd swap him out for Louis if I could.
Alyx proves that they still know how to do them.
I like them all. Wish Rochelle was quirkier, but she sounds the most 'stable' of all protags.
I didn't want to talk about Alyx for the same reason I didn't include Portal - the casts are too small. In Alyx, who is there aside from Russell - Eli and Lobotogaunt? They're barely around so it doesn't feel like the same situation as the other games I mentioned. Still, I'd agree that there was a similar level of quality in Alyx, so I hope any future games continue the trend.
disagree, that russell character is obnoxious and they really should have just made him kleiner
not a bad game though
Coach and francis are the only ones worth a damn. Lewis is better than the others.
Coach = Francis > Lewis >>>>>> Everyone else.
Ellis! I wish he was my bf.
>they really should have just made him kleiner
Now that I'm not so sure of.
Not that guy, but much prefer L4D1 over 2.
L4D1 has wider open levels, bigger maps for you to explore. There isn't a constant horde rush every fifteen to thirty seconds pushing you forward, it's up to you to push forward at your own pace. L4D2 introduced that bullshit lone zombie that spawns and runs up behind you all the time, doesn't matter if they run at you from the front, for some reason l4d2 zombies are super smart and always target you from behind, the levels are 'bigger' but they're full of twists and turns so it's literally a giant long corridor that just keeps twisting so you don't have a large draw distance for a fucking console to keep up with.
L4D2 also ruins the art style, it's a comic daytime zombie game. L4D1 is dark and creepy.
Even the awesome pistols of 1 are replaced with some fucking stapler sounding pistols that fire like little peashooters. Just the whole game of L4D2 is a polished console turd.
I'm not gay but I think Nick is a very attractive man
1 and this man
We didn't deserve the L4D games
They were literally perfect in every way
So much content for free, both official and fan made
Perfect gameplay, design, all of it
So much fun playing with friends either co op or versus
Ran smooth as butter
Literally not a single downside besides maybe 2 being a slightly disappointing sequel but it's hard to top the perfection of 1 without fucking up what makes it so good
1 and its cast are my favorite and Mercy Hospital will forever be one of my favorite levels of all time in any video game. I can't even pick a favorite out of all of them specifically, they go so well together.
It goes Bill, Ellis, then who cares then Rochelle are the very bottom.
L4D1
How is 1 better than 2 if 2 includes the entirety of 1?
