Left 4 dead

Today I'll write some opinions and stuff about my first FPS-game, Left 4 Dead!
This game is pretty special for me. Not only because it was the game that made me go in to be a gamer chick, but also because I have met so many wonderful people through it. Among them Patrik, whom I met shortly after I bought the game and started playing. After that I talked with him for almost 2 years through skype, and now I'm together with him:) Amazing what can happen thanks to games ...
Anyways. Left 4 Dead was my first FPS-game, and I still remember the first time I tried it. I must admit that I am a bad loser, and before I hated to die in games. So the first time I tried it, I was shaking like a leaf. Was afraid I would die, and be bad in the game, since my then-boyfriend was sitting right next to me. x) But it was actually not so bad, and I was hooked :p

 Started with a cracked
 version of the game, and after half a year of "training", I bought the game on Steam:) About one months later, I met Patrick.
And then came the Left 4 Dead 2. After my good experiences with the first game, I pre-ordered the 2nd game. It was very much talking and stuff about extras and stuff if you pre-ordered. None of the things they promised was really held! x) We who pre-ordered should be the only ones who could use the baseball bat, and play the demo before anyone else ... But it did not x)
Left 4 Dead 2 was cool, until I got bored and went back to the 1st game again. Vocalize commands FTW!
But in that period I played a lot of the 2nd game, I met the 2nd good friend I have now, Stian! He only had L4D2, poor thing. Played some with him after I met him. And then Patrik and Stian got introduced to each other:) And we had a team! Played some addon-campaigns together. And satt on skype and messed around. Yelling and screaming. x)
Began to talk more outside of gaming, and got to know each other better and became good friends:)


My opinions about the game(s)?
This has been one of my most favored game. Good to play if I want get out some aggression. But don't need to be aggressive to play it x) Have learned a little about guns and stuff, and got a little more interest in it too:) And there are some weapons to choose from and so. Especially in the 2nd game.
My favorite weapons are the auto shotgun, granade launcher, and what the in-game-characters calls the Magnum / Desert Eagle. And favorite character is, of course, Louis, with its fabulous screams. : D <3
The gameplay is easy, simple controls and okay graphics. The 2nd game had of course slightly better graphics, but the weapons was too shiny in the game ... "OH! Shiny shotguns!" ~
The fact that there are special zombies are also nice and you have some extra challenges. :) Personally I hate tanks and love witches <3 Smokers and hunters, and chargers and jockeys in the 2nd game, are dangerous when you're alone. And boomers and spitters are just annoying.


This was what I had on Left 4 Dead. Thanks to this game, I became a gamer chick, and began to play lots of games:)
That's it! See ya next time!
