My favorite genre is generally shooters. RPGs are ok too (especially if they're free). I'm too dumb to figure out RTS games. Racing/Sports games are meh, unless something creative is done with them to make them awesome. If I wanted to play soccer, I would just go outside and do it. If I'm gonna game, I'm gonna blow people's heads off and cleanse the world of demons (things I can't/would never do in real life).

Consoles I Own (in no particular order): Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox, Wii, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, mah shweet PC

Oh and I'm part Japanese. My friends seem to think that's awesome so maybe if you guys read this you'll think I'm awesome too. Seems like solid logic to me.

Main Games I'm Playing:
Team Fortress 2 (PC)
Left 4 Dead (PC)
I've also got the random urge to play Morrowind again as well.

BOOM HEADSHOT!! -FPS Doug

UK Gets Late(r) Left 4 Dead Release
godkow \| 3:19 PM on 06.25.2008	14 comments

Since my previous title was causing some unnecessary commotion, I changed it to something less zealous. For the archives, my previous title was "The UK Gets Screwed Again: Left 4 Dead Edition". Was that a bad title? Possibly. Do I care? We'll never know.

EA has told VideoGamer.com that Europe's official street release date will be November 7. That's 3 days after the supposed "worldwide release". While it's not as bad as some other games (do you guys have Brawl yet?), it still probably sucks. I guess the good news is that hopefully in those three days the rest of the world will figure out how to actually play the game so you won't be stuck with (total) idiots.

Edit: If you are getting the PC version and you have Steam you can still get it on November 4.

To make this post look longer, I will attach 3 videos that appeared on GameVideos.com yesterday.

I'll be getting it on Steam, so hopefully this is just for the 360 version.

godkow

EA said this pertains to both the 360 and the PC versions, but I'm not sure if there will be some sort of region lock on Steam or something preventing you from getting it.

Who knows though, maybe you'll get lucky.

Well, a 3 day wait isn't exactly screwing us over. I can wait that long.

I'm really looking forward to this game now, sounds like a lot of fun!

godkow

Never mind, apparently if you're getting it for PC and you have Steam you're good to go.

KamikazeTutor

Even so, jesus it's just three more days!
Stop whining, it's not as bad as brawl!

godkow

I'm not from the UK, I was just posting this to alert the part of our community that this pertains to. I suppose the title may be a little over-dramatic, but it sounded good at the time and I don't feel like changing it.

greeneggsnsam

The three day difference is due to your releases falling on Tuesdays, whereas ours fall on Fridays.

B-Radicate

No offense to European gamers, but three days should seem like nothing to all y'all by now, no? I would think this is barely a blip on the radar at this point.

Jamie McGinn

can I just point out that no one from Europe has actually complained about this?

Timmeh

At first I was confused as to why the hell it would be delyaed for distrobution through their own platform, then I saw that it's all good on Steam so I'm indifferent once again :P

AngelsDontBurn

Blood gets EVERYWHERE on that one video. Lol.

Anus Mcphanus

Very few games get a true "worldwide release" on the same day. The only 2 I can think of right now are Halo 3 and MGS 4. So 3 days is nothing as it's pretty normal since out games come out on Fridays. If you look at it that way the game isn't really getting a later release date.

KamikazeTutor

I like to wait, I like the 2 player mode in ICO, I like the art gallery in Shadow of the Colossus, yap yap yap.
