This game is so mind-numbingly boring, it’s not even worth torrenting.
There is absolutely no reason to play this over L4D, especially considering that those games have nearly infinite modding possibilities and custom servers.
Even the base L4D games are x10 better and offer more content and replayability.
Each to his own, L4D is ancient, I know all the lines and levels by now, I pretty much fall asleep playing L4D nowadays (we need L4D3).
This is a breath of fresh air, and will keep me busy for a few months.
Yes t his game is a complete piece of #^% compared to LFD. Just wow. I’m shocked some reviewers are giving this a 7/10 when honestly i would give it no better than a 2/10 just for effort.
How about remove it from epic store that would probably the best fix for everyone
lol, Ill second that!
