which is better? L4D? or RE5?

[HollowGrave]

This was somewhat inspired by the failed 'which is better? L4D? or RE4?' thread.
Don't compare a single-player shooter with a co-op FPS.
This should actually cause some heated debate. Why?
Because Resident Evil 5 and Left 4 Dead are both in fact co-op games, so it makes more sense.
So I ask you, who would win? Resident Evil 5 or Left 4 Dead? Let the mudslinging begin!

[M-Vero]

This is the same thing, you just worded it differently, whether they are both co-op or not the game mechanics are completely different
Whether you think it is or not, this is the same thread, and it also sucks

It's also against the rules, I think

[HollowGrave]

True, but nonetheless Resident Evil 5 and Left 4 Dead currently seem to be the most popular zombie games right now. Even with different dynamics it still poses the question. Which is better?

:I can't tell whether it is or isn't. I doubt it, but id it is oh well I guess this is a new account and I don't entirely mind being banned even if I hope it doesn't occur.

Oh, you.

RE5 Shamelessly stole and butchered the L4D teamwork tactics.

I mean, resucitating your partner seems like reviving your partner, like in L4D.

When you get resuscitated, you have a tiny life bar that slowly ticks away unless you heal yourself. Sounds like the red bars in L4D.

Some enemies cannot be shaken off and require your partner to knock them off of you. Looks an awful lot like the hunter and smoker dangers in L4D.

'Course, this 5-hour gaming atrocity never would have happened if Capcom hadn't pussied out two years into development by having their arms twisted by black special interest groups, causing them to scrap the whole game concept and forcibly place a black, brain-dead partner in the game just to make sure there are never moments where Caucasian-Chris is alone, onscreen, shooting African zombies.

Hey, black people! I'm pissed off at you.

Well Co-op Shooters are the "In" thing with FPS games these days. I personally prefer RE5 but I'm definitely getting L4D2. I think the real question is which is worth your money and your time the most?

[TB1ZZL3]

L4D is infinitely better. No contest.

[Pink-Ninja]

L4D by far Resi is dead, they killed it with that shite pile Resi 4.

Exactly. The creator of this thread failed big time.

I'm glad you made this one.

Its a close call between the two.

L4D is four players and is real challenging in expert. When it comes out of pure survivalness though RE5 wins hands down. One hit and you're dying? Thats tough shit. I liked all the different types of zombies like RE5 kinda has but you feel like each episode is exactly the same. Get to spot, call for help, escape.

Although I go with RE5, both are intense and fun.

Apparently Resident Evil 5 wasn't even that good of a game, so I would say Left 4 Dead. A lot of L4D fans are pissed off about that game though since Valve is making Left 4 Dead 2 instead of the free DLC that they were promised. In my opinion though, they sound like they're being overly bitchy about it.

[RiuTenshin]

RE4>L4D>RE5
Resident Evil 4 was amazing, Left 4 Dead is mediocre, and RE5 sucked.

[darkblackman]

Like many people said before, the games are different in way too many ways to compare them overall.

As I've beaten RE5, and played alot of L4D I'd say L4D.
