Left 4 dead, one of the most ridiculous fun horde-shooters out there. Fun Fact: Left 4 dead is created by Valve, the same guys who created Team fortress 2. Another Fun Fact: If its a game series made by Valve, they always stop at the second game, and so a meme was born " Valve can't count to 3".

Interesting fact about the infection in Left 4 Dead 1&2: Named the "Green Flu" it technically doesn't make regular people into zombies. According to the comics the regular infected essentially hallucinate the non-infected as monsters and become driven by the singular desire to rip them apart with their bare hands. As such the Infected problem is said to be able to solve itself for the most part because the infected are still living and require food and water but because of the "Green Flu" never actually seek out either of these needs.

[@JozieXP]

well that explains why the games only take place in the first 3 weeks of the infection.

[@anugrahhafizsaputra9384]

[@CaptainAmercia]

Love L4D1 and L4D2 both are great games. They actually brought all the maps and characters from L4D1 and put them in the copy of L4d2 with all the upgrades L4D2 had from melee weapons to new weapons better graphics and the new amazing gore something the first game lacked now you can shot holes in zombies cut them in half the body damage is just amazing and it feels so good when you shot a zombie in the mouth and see there lower face just gone lol

[@samflint4749]

FYI, the format of L4D is a survival game. You have a random selection of maps and you are in the starting area, the aim is to get to the extraction area. When you get to the extraction area you have to call for them to pick you up, meanwhile whilst they are on the way you have to survive a last stand. The appeal of L4D at the time despite the first game only having 4 maps lasting about 30 minutes each, was the fact the game engine would completely randomise enemies every single game. So no two games were the same despite being on the same map.

[@billko867]

The intro to the original L4D is an amazing feat in cinematography! Camera angles, tension building, surprises... all there! More importantly it give you hints at thing in the game, like startling the witch (the girl with the fingernails of death) - bad thing. Things can grab you. Things can incapacitate you where you have to have someone lift you up off the ground to get you back on your feet. You can still shoot things while incapacitated. Lots of other hints as well. I think the thing that got a lot of people upset (and I'm very sure this was pure coincidence) is that the black character, Louis, caused every issue they had to sort out, like startling the witch, wandering off by himself to get jumped, shooting the zombie so it fell onto the car (setting off the alarm, and in the process, calling the horde)...

[@daappr]

I'm not sure it was a coincidence as much as it was totally in character for Louis to be the hopeful optimist, sometimes cluelessly gullible, to go chase the helicopter on foot and separate himself from the group. It wouldn't make sense for Bill or even Francis to do the same; they know better than that.

[@billko867]

@@daappr Interesting. Yeah, I'll buy that. seems to be totally in character now that you mention it.

[@Glitchyybean]

I agree with dappr here, Louis's character is generally a nice and caring guy with a lot of hope and optimism. Meanwhile Zoey is sarcastic and angsty, Francis is edgy and hates everything and most likely wouldn't just run off on his own, and Bill most definitely knows better than to do any of that, being a veteran. If Louis's traits were given to any of the other characters I'm sure they would've done the same thing (I would say both Zoey and Louis were both responsible for the car alarm though, they were both shooting the hell outta the Hunter and I guess it makes sense because they are the least experienced in the group while a biker and a veteran would be more experienced than a teen and an office worker. I mean yea Zoey loves horror movies but she still would be just as inexperienced as Louis before the infection broke out) 😂 I mean take a look at Ellis from L4D2, he'd definitely be in the same situation as Louis, mainly because of the personality and behaviours of his character and that they're similar to Louis's in a way lol

[@billko867]

@@Glitchyybean Yes, after thinking about, it, I have to agree.

[@sanyokschannel9530]

It's just Louis's personality. He's optimistic and doesn't take things seriously most of the time.

[@Tazkar]

They're Zombies....but not Zombies. Basically a very virulent virus came about that they dubbed 'The Green Flu' and operates a bit like Rabies, and also over time potentially mutates you into one of the 'special' infected. The game is fun since each 'episode' you play through several maps with up to 3 other players trying to get to an evac site or shelter. And at the end you get a whole credits thing almost like a movie with "Player X as Bill" "Player Y As Frank", if someone is played by the computer then it just does "Zoey as Herself", then all your stats about how many zombies were killed in making this and such.

So happy you watched/reacted to these! I have so many fond memories of long days and late nights of playing Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 way back when with friends! So to answer your questions: most of what you said at 9:42 is mostly correct, updates including new areas to play in, new weapons to use and other improvements to the game, but all the same gameplay and story. Only difference is with Left 4 Dead 2 aside from updates to gameplay (new special infected and melee weapons among them) you are introduced and get to play as a new set of survivors (Bill the old veteran, Louis the office worker, Francis the biker, and Zoey the university student are the first group from L4D 1. Coach the high school coach, Nick the con artist, Rochelle the TV producer, and Ellis the mechanic are the new group in L4D 2) so in L4D 2 you (technically) have 4 survivors you can play as. This was the perfect react vid for the time of year!

[@darkmyro]

So l4d one had one group of survivors and l4d 2 had a different group, both met up at the last stand where one of your teamates would sacrifice themselves at the end. The games played with zombie tropes a lot.

Left 4 Dead 2 does mostly focus on a new group, though there is one mission where the first group of survivors guest stars. As you noted, there’s also a shift in tone. New guns, melee weapons, unique Infected in each chapter, and some crazier scenarios. For example, in Chapter 3, you signal the rescue helicopter by setting off a rock concert.

[@luckyfandango9211]

Not seeing a mention as to the survivors fates after hearing "I hope they got out" so I'll summarise since you seem to greatly enjoy hearing story elements, even from games that mostly lack it. There's an online comic worth looking up is you feel inclined that explains the fate of the original survivor group and what happened to them between and after the campaigns "Blood Harvest" and "The Sacrifice" Originally the campaigns were designed in a "one after the other" continuity sence, though on game release, they were considered separate stories presented in an action horror movie fashion (The loading screens have movie trailer posters for each and there's even a "film grain" option in the video settings) though over time, they were considered continuous events again thanks to the extra mini campaign "Crash Course" where after "No Mercy" they are picked up by a helicopter, the pilot turns mid flight and they return to fleeing on foot. The main takaway is by the end of "Blood Harvest" the group are evacuated by a military evac in, though rather than be taken to a safe zone, are held esentially as prisoners of war, and learn the only reason they haven't become infected despite direct contact with them, is because they are carriers, and still transmit the disease to anyone who is not also a carrier. During the events we get a little insight into each survivors history right before the infection started. Louis trying to climb the corporate ladder in his IT job, Francis with his Biker Gang who is out on bail and about to go back into prison, Zoey being a near college dropout and avid horror movie fan, and Bill a Vietnam veteran who can't fit back into society craving something to fight. This group banded together somewhere within Fairfield which is effectively considered to be ground zero (You can even find Patient Zero's supposed treatment room in the hospital during the No Mercy campaign) We also learn a little about the virus itself, "Green Flu". A conflict of interests takes place resulting in the military outpost being overrun and the group escape on a train to a coastal port town in Georgia. Bill has a plan for the group to escape and live the rest of their days isolated on an island, while Zoey is outraged with Bill after he left other potential carriers behind in the base as Bill now only sees their group as what's left after the treatment by the military, citing "We look out for our own" but Zoey still has hope to fight back. Francis and Louis meanwhile feel mostly exhausted by this point and see little else they can do besides work with Bills plan. After some traveling, they're attempting to get a good yatch ready to go, but something goes wrong and a huge horde is coming their way. Effectively cornered, Bill does what is needed to get the others safe but it results in him being being caught out and ultimately perishes at the hands of the infected. In the last shot we see the others arriving at a tropical island on the Yatch. The second group start out in Savannah and end up in New Orleans by the end, the group consisting of Coach the little league coach, Ellis a zombie enthusiastic daredevil and mechanic, Rochelle a struggling news reporter and Nick a con-artist who escaped a prison transport bus. This game is presented in a much more action sense as you exactly assumed, and this group mostly just met eachother at the start of the games campaigns, which again are treated continuously. It takes place mostly on the opposite end of the states where the infection has only just caught up where go seeking out a Military evacuation to a safe zone until finally they get into contact with one last transport helicopter about to leave a city before it is bombed as a counter measure. We hear over the radio as they are in contact, confirming the survivors are immune, and the phrase "Are you equipped for carriers?" which leaves the ultimate fate of the group undetermined as the final shot sees them taken away on the helicopter while the city is destroyed. Are they subjected to the same measures the previous group were? Or is there now a real safezone specifically made for carriers to safely stay? ... I always say I'll do a "Quick" summary and end up writing a novel... oh well, it's fun sharing enthusiasm!

One thing I absolutely love about the first Left 4 Dead intro is that it provides you hints on how to properly survive in this game. Zombies are changing and mutating so things are gonna get worse Crying means a Witch is around Be careful around the Witch and keep lights off Zombie hordes can spawn at random moments Don't disturb the Witch Close doors to separate yourself from zombies Your teammates need to get saved when caught by a Smoker Help them back up when they are down Use pipe bombs to lure zombies away Zombies are attracted to noise Don't wander off as you are an easier target Help teammates pinned down by a Hunter Cars can set off alarms so be careful around them as they can summon hordes Tanks are extremely dangerous and your team needs to focus on them Run or Shoot? Both! Don't celebrate too early as you just barely survived for now. Things aren't done yet.

[@tooth1539]

I feel like the zombie horde did not come at a random moment though, Bill rubbed boomer bile on himself and Francis.

[@fedoratheexplorer6422]

Hordes are not completely random. In the intro it was because after they killed the Hunter that attacked Louis, the Hunter fell on top of a parked car causing its alarm to go off. In the game, they warn you not to shoot certain cars because their alarms attract the Horde. Also, Boomer Bile, waiting for rescue, standing still for too long will spawn a Horde. There are also “crescendo events” which are scenarios where you forced to trigger a Horde just to make the game more challenging.

[@nezfromhki]

I love both intros because in addition to them just being cool cinematics, they also introduce key gameplay mechanics, the playable characters and the enemies in a really efficient way. It's one of the reasons I disagree people hating on all cinematic trailers: yes, they are not representative of what the game is actually like, but good ones like these can really be great for setting the mood and showing you stuff you can expect to see or encounter in the game. Sadly most cinematic trailers are more just pretty visuals.

[@fifiishere]

Great video! It was really interesting to see someone’s reaction to these who isn’t a gamer. Left 4 Dead was got me into gaming personally. It’s not the type of game to have cutscenes, only those intros which teach you about the mechanics of the game (don’t go alone, “run or shoot”, don’t disturb the crying girl). But the storytelling in the game, while subtle, is really interesting. It’s told via the environments and voice lines. The first game features Bill (an Army Vet), Francis (Biker Gang Member), Louis (A Junior Systems Analyst) and Zoey (Film Student and Horror Film Fanatic) trying to help/a way out of the apocalypse. There is a comic series that explains what happened before the green flu (what made the zombies), how it’s constantly mutating and they’re researching why some people become special infected. It bridges two of the campaigns (levels) together. The first games campaigns were brought into the second game with the ability to use the second games mechanics (new infected types and melee weapons). The second game features Rochelle (A News Reporter), Coach (a high school Coach), Nick (A Gambler and Con Man) and Ellis (A Mechanic). Similar to the first survivors, they’re looking for help. There are twists and turns which happen between campaigns which mean they’re still looking for help or a way out. The two groups of survivors do end up meeting in The Passing campaign with the exception of Bill (spoilers as to why he’s not there). That is the last time in canon we see the left 4 dead one survivors. The last stand was a community project made by fans so to see it endorsed by Valve 12 years after the first game and 11 years after the second was rare to see and just a love letter for the community who care about the story and it’s characters. Fans want a Left 4 Dead 3 but it’s not happened yet. I still have hope.

[@Cookieboy70]

Girl, you watched these way out of order, lol, not that it matters much. Bottom line is each game is a different set of four survivors, each who has awesome personalities, that you could play with your friends to survive the zombie apocalypse. I have so many good memories of epic moments of saving my friends lives and surviving to the end, it’s one of my favorite games ever.

[@ItsAsparageese]

I don't see any comments (in my cursory scroll) answering the question about what the short teaser with the lighthouse did for fans. You basically nailed it after the second Last Stand teaser with Bill talking about how there should've been more tanks. The second game had lasted a glorious ten years, and then last year we got a really exciting update featuring a new campaign (the one with the lighthouse). So that's why even that simple a promotion was still super exciting for us at the time when it was announced that new updates were coming for the old game :) Edit to clarify: Yeah the update's new campaign was released as part of the second game, because the second game is more versatile and popular and also already included the ability to play the original game's campaigns with the original characters. But in terms of the in-game-universe _story_ progression, the new campaign "The Last Stand" did indeed take place with the first game's survivors near to the end of their story arc together. I never thought before about how confusing that would be to explain to someone who wasn't into the games lol, great question!

It's probably been said at this point but, canonically, the only survivor from the first game that dies is Bill. The old war veteran that's always wearing his greens. There's an entire campaign dedicated to that plot point called "The Sacrifice". The two groups meet and he stays behind to hold off a bunch of giant zombies so everyone else can escape.

[@battuvshinbatzorig8659]

it's so cute, like my mom and one of my aunts trying to understand the video games I play.

[@Denden-mx9gl]

damn I just realized the title when you said it. Damn!

[@tennoo160]

11:46 ironically the first time I played both games I saw more terrorific l4d2 than l4d lmao

[@rickdaniel7341]

the crying zombie woman in the first part is an actual enemy type, The Witch

[@Ian_Paneque]

Fun fact: Left 4 Dead originally was a test gamemode for Counter-Strike: Source

[@bash2334]

Hey loved your video i got a question have you already reacted to burning trough space SFM first and second part

[@infinitecorpze]

If you like JK Simmons and Valve games (which you seem to), you would absolutely love the Portal 2 Aperture Investment shorts. There's 4 of them, but they're only like 30-60 seconds and they're so damn funny

[@christopherflores5405]

What makes l4d 1 and 2 so memorable is that each campaign is structured and presented like an actual horror movie. You even get stats for every player as your end credits when you finish a campaign. The whole feel of the game is just so immersive. The music, level design, clever use of lighting and props and the best part is that no playthrough is exactly the same. L4d 1 and 2 use an AI scenario director which controls the spawn rate and location of special infected, location of items like med kits and molotov cocktails, frequency of horde encounters and even some map alterations where some paths would be closed off while others are opened up. The AI responds to the players' progress through the current campaign chapter based on how far they are through the map, player health, supply (meds, ammo, throwables, etc). If the players try to progress slowly, the AI often throws hordes and special infected at them more often. On the other hand, if players clear through the map too quickly, they might end up getting a tank(big hulky infected) thrown at them or a witch(crying female infected) gets spawned in their way. L4d2 came out as an enhancement of l4d1. They are essentially 2 different games but l4d2 includes maps from the first game. For all intents and purposes, one can say that l4d2 would have been the final product l4d1 was supposed to become. There have been many other zombie games that tried to emulate the same 4-person co-op experience but l4d2 still stays on top.

The original Left 4 Dead survivors didn't all get out, Bill sacrificed himself

[@antoanilic7503]

i love your content , and you kinda look like Rochell from the game i just noticed that

[@badca7tv342]

Homie, you look like the PERFECT live action cast for Rochelle if L4D became an official live action

[@HannaHsOverInvested]

From your lips to God's ears

[@jeremyganora8295]

Dang, I'm kinda sad you didn't see the l4d sacrifice trailer. That one is so cool, never fails to get me hype

[@gaaraofthefunk2011]

I love left dead 1 and 2. A fun thing is that they treat each map like a movie with own cheese headline like and that not every playthrough is the same because of an ai director that changes up what attacks when and where and what spawns on you.

[@TA3DArtist]

Look way back! Those videos are epic! :)

[@lexaparone3843]

I really want to read your books, but sadly I can't find it here in the PH and can't find a site that ships them. Feels bad

[@sgt.genitals4328]

1. Bill (the old vietnam vet) was not voiced by JK Simmons but a man named Jim French who sadly is no longer with us. 2. L4D2 follows the story of the original cast as well as a new cast centered in the South (Georgia and Florida area). 3. The Last Stand Update was important to the community as it was the first official update from Valve in many years and was fan made at that. There's also a comic telling the fate of the original cast at the end of their campaign that even got an update with 2 new campaigns one of which has both casts meet and help each other escape.

[@MrKimidoriMK]

There's a web comic for what happens to the first main 4 survivors after the game. It's pretty cool and kinda sad. It's worth looking into. I'm sure you can find a video version.

[@dargenflame2500]

Thanks for reaction. Shame what you miss the “Sacrifice” trailer which like trailer for final story chapter of characters from first l4d game.

[@JairVVZ]

This is one of the games that in the trailer show or give you the adrenaline that in the games you feel. The gameplay is also super exciting

[@AngellusRavenix]

I didn't even know there was an update to L4D2, so that's something to look into. But there was a rumor based on a DLC, if I'm remembering correctly, that the team from 1 meets up with the team from 2, so they were supposed to have 8 selectable characters from there on in either a new DLC for 2 or in L4D3. The game was a lot of fun and I think, even as a non gamer, you'd possibly enjoy it. Not a bad one to try out. You can go in with 3 other players for help, or solo with AI for team mates, which I would recommend doing so with people since I remember the AI not being super great when the horde started to get real aggressive. Maybe have it as a community thing. But in general, video was pretty interesting.

[@agustinustobing3283]

you can feel the same tension both on trailer and on the game...i feel sad for Bill, he's good old green beret...a father figure for three others...

[@ahegaogalaxy8308]

Your so smart you got the last stand update on the dot well donee

[@TheBoogieMan656]

I remember playing left for dead when I was in primary school and high school

[@Dukesparrow1999]

You know whats funny I just boot up L4D2 when she started watching the intro and it almost was at sync with what was being played at the same time

[@SolomonSamms]

the last stand was a community lead update made 10 years after the game came out to make some wanted improvements but also to stitch together "Death toll" and "Dead air" together more neatly with "the last stand" map, but in general, its just a quality of life update since Valve has moved on to bigger projects.

[@switch317]

You missed 2 left for dead trailers which are DLC's (Downloadable content) which they added later on, the trailers are for The Passing and The Sacrifice, the sacrifice came first, nice reaction btw :))

[@thumperdumper8778]

Ah man this game is a master peace i miss playing it hardcore always played this game only and left 4 dead 2 i love both good old memories playing with friends

[@cyonruiz7598]

"who are these people" Me: that my man coach!

[@Enigmatic..]

The best thing is that the intro to L4D doesn't bullshit you in any way, the intro is exactly the way the game plays. L4D is one of the best games of all time, its the best zombie shooter there is.

[@WednesdayMan]

Ok so left 4 dead 2 has the left 4 dead 1 levels in it as well, and has new levels for the left 4 dead 1 crew, but also has levels exclusive to the left 4 dead 2 crew

[@lorddanielthesecond73]

The update was a huge surprise, very few games get big updates years later, especially 10 years. Left 4 Dead just has a special place in the hearts of many

[@RenegadeSamurai]

Oh boy, getting nostalgic right now xD

[@hakuboii3996]

Those Last Stand videos were trailers for an update that the L4D community made and not really trailers for the games. I recommend watching 'The Sacrifice' and 'The Passing' trailers as they were official promos for the game and includes the 4 og characters. It was really fun watching you watch these Left 4 Dead trailers :D

[@pendek3255]

I've got this game as a gift on steam...didn't knew it can have custom maps

[@thelemursoldier249]

Context for the infected, the 'special infected' are obviously the one that are completely different from your average zombie. --------------- Special Infected ----------------------- 2:20 Witch: She won't attack you, unless you bother her with gunfire or even flashlights. She'll be crying an random isolated areas, or occasionally walking around...crying. If you startle her she'll instantly one-shot down you, so make no noise and keep your flashlight off. 2:54 Smoker: A tall zombie capable of using it's tongue like a lasso and grabbing survivors from far away. It gets the name Smoker, because has soon has it get's killed, it explodes into smoke. 3:34 Hunter: It's capable of leaping off of buildings and pouncing his prey, then proceeds to claw them to death. It's noticeable by its chaotic screaming. 4:14 Tank: Hence it's name, it's pretty much a boss zombie, capable of soaking in bullets and throwing concrete at survivors. 11:00 Jockey: It jumps around laughing manically and rides on the back of survivors. When doing this it'll drive the survivor into more zombies or off a ledge. 11:09 Spitter: A zombie capable shooting acid globs and even after it dies, acid is bound to spread. 12:18 Charger: A hillbilly zombie and a large arm, the names says it all. It'll charge into a survivor and will proceed to pummel them to death. 12:54 Boomer (bottom left): A standard fat zombie, that explodes upon death and will vomit all over the survivors (thus attracting more zombies). ----------------------------------

[@tioraidh-tux]

she won’t attack you if you leave her alone*

[@thelemursoldier249]

@@tioraidh-tuxFixed it, thanks

[@zahkrosis666]

12:44 "That's so disgusting" So much so the camera itself got affected by staying zoomed in. :P

[@Filmfiend27]

Since you mentioned J.K. Simmons, you gotta check out another Value game called Portal as he's a voice actor in Portal 2. He goes on quite a few hilarious rants as well as some funny warnings and instructions. "I don't want your damn lemons!"

[@c4ns3r53]

Mike Patton did the zombie noises for L4D and L4D2

[@endless013]

OK so I love this game, this and the sequel and I've never once in all these years watched the intro, this is crazy also explains why we start on a roof for no reason turns out a Tank is the reason

[@Subject-032]

You forgot the The Sacrifice teaser/trailer. Oh well, good video regardless. I've been playing this game since I was around highschool and up until now. This is my favorite game of all time, the game ages like a fine wine. Btw if you are interested on the story of the first survivors from Left 4 Dead 1, there's a comics called The Sacrifice.

[@richardpires9839]

the left 4 dead lore is really amazing and the comics detail them very good.

[@theboycee1]

I played this game so much I was actually having zombie apocalypse dreams. Love the game so much

[@gabster7738]

L4D2 got an update in 2013 I think that added the entire L4D1 game into the second one. Then in 2020, L4D2 got a huge free update with more stuff to do in the game

[@CheckersMcGavern]

Man, I loved Left 4 Dead (and am really enjoying it's spiritual sequel, Back 4 Blood). They did a really good job conveying the frantic nature of the gameplay in the intro.

[@marks2807]

My only issue with Back 4 Blood is the difficulty tuning seems a bit over board. Where Left 4 Dead had the tuning perfect.

[@seamuskills]

The one with the tongue and the jumpy one along with the hulk are all specials, they are less common and have abilities to shake up the game and encourage teamwork. The vast majority are just fast zombies that are really weak but slow you down.
