Back 4 Blood. I actually quite enjoyed the game and the characters. Sadly it was doomed from the start and they can blame no one but themselves. It's essentially dead now I gather.
This game has one of gaming most fun moments in itβ¦. If you get the right song on the jukebox.
That mission was so amazing the first time with Black Betty blasting.
Does the game have anything going for it at all?
Played it during the beta and it's not like it's an inherently bad game, but Left 4 Dead did it all better and 10 years before.
It's on sale for 5 bucks all the time but even for that price I never had the desire to play if over Left 4 Dead.
I played during beta and after too. The deck building aspect was one of the best parts. It was nice making different builds for runs, some for pistols only, some for headshot-bonuses and some for melees. :) Also it was nice to carry noobs with my refined builds.
Also the characters had some casually heartwarming dialogue.
But the paid DLCs and high price made me never actually buy the game (lisence). I think it doesn't have support for community servers either, so when they stop supporting it, it's dead.
I liked that game a lot too, but it's nowhere near the quality of its predecessors in terms of longevity.
