First of all, LOL you think COD4 only has 3 hours of gameplay. I'm guessing you havn't played it.
Played it, completed it, it was okay but far from super duper fun.
I'm by no means boycotting L4D2, but I must just point out a few things which have really pissed me off about L4D. First of all, PC users get it cheaper and get all DLC for free. This to me is utter bullshit. Console users have to pay all the bills and PC users get a free ride, I don't see how that's fair in the slightest. I'm of course reffering to this Crash Course DLC, which is very shit, but costs Xbox users a few quid. Bullshit.
FYI Valve are primarily a computer game company, they don't focus on consoles. Furthermore, it's microsoft who set the pricing, microsoft don't let them release free DLC for the xbox, so uh, blame them not Valve.
I'd also like to point out that due to PC users hacking the game, a lot of dev time is spent fixing things which only affect the PC version, and yet they still pay less...
once again, valve is a computer company. The majority of their success is down to the freedom we computer gamers have, I mean take a look at any of their games and the modding community is massive, gmod is a perfect example.
L4D2, as far as I can see, is a major inprovement on the first, so it's by no means not worth the cash, the problem I have with it is the fact that PC users will continue to freeload off Xbox users. Bottom line is, it makes me angry when we have to pay for the DLC and PC users get it free, and if I buy L4D2 then I'm going to feel that anger again whether I like it or not, and believe it or not, I don't like being angry.
So that's the only reason I'd think twice before buying it
I assume either you're joking or you're.... I don't know. Valve don't give a shit about consoles, it means nothing to them, seriously, they're doing it because they're wanted to. Gabe has said he hates consoles for development and they refuse to develop for the ps3 after the massive failure of the orange box on that (IIRC).
We're not freeloading of you, we made Valve the company that they are. Furthermore, LOLFPSONCONSOLE. Enjoy subpar gaming.
