ThunderTrain 08/07/21 3:11:05 PM #1:	I've played about 2 hours if it. One hour campaign and one hour versus mode. Seems pretty fun. The card system is kinda weird but it feels like a Left 4 Dead sequel which is what I was hoping for. --- Without this nobody reads the last line of a post Look at all these slave masters posing on your dollar <cite>ThunderTrain posted [p:956868478] in Anyone try...

Hexenherz 08/07/21 3:18:32 PM #5:	I tried it a few hours last night... Things I liked... 1) Being able to buy supplies and outfit your weaponry. 2) Shooting feels better than in L4D 3) I'm anticipating the camp will be more developed with shops and stuff at launch which is exciting. Things I didn't like... 1) Enemy AI is janky, they have weird, non-fluid movement. 2) Finales are underwhelming as shit. 3) Very little separation between the campaigns or acts in the beta... everything has the same ugly blue gloomy look to it. 4) AI teammates are not viable at all in their current state. 5) Enemy design is really bland. Yeah the Boomer and the giant with the strong arm stand out from the other zombies, but compared to what we had in L4D they don't feel radically different or have their own character. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:956868660] in Anyone try...

You register an account (or log in if you have one), choose the platform and it gives you a code to redeem.

Jetblackmoon 08/07/21 3:32:25 PM #11:	It's fun and I'm sure I'll enjoy trying to tackle Nightmare at some point with friends. Some cards have major impacts (card that changes your melee from a punch to a stab is ridiculously good), but a lot of them are just minor number tweaks that aren't very exciting. The prep period before you leave the safe room is also way too long; they need to cut it by like half. With that being said, I don't think it'll have the same longevity or repayability that L4D/L4D2 have. I put thousands of hours in those games, but Swarm just doesn't look like it'll pull me in the same way. --- Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight? <cite>Jetblackmoon posted [p:956868976] in Anyone try...

ThunderTrain 08/07/21 3:41:42 PM #12:	BignutzisBack posted... wtf there's no Versus mode? LOL There is a versus but its a best of 3 horde style mode where your team just has to last the longest against the zombies and the other team controlled special ones. I like how quick it goes but hopefully they do add a campaign versus too. --- Without this nobody reads the last line of a post Look at all these slave masters posing on your dollar <cite>ThunderTrain posted [p:956869176] in Anyone try...
