Left4Dead 2 vs S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
Left4Dead 2
Left4Dead 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Left4Dead. Featuring a brand new adventure and cast of characters as well as a wider variety of zombie-slaying weapons to choose from, Left4Dead 2 enjoyed an even higher level of success than the original. However, the game does have a bit of a rep for having a pretty toxic community when it comes to the game's multiplayer-based Versus mode. Apparently, anything less than perfection isn't tolerated among most players in the community so if possible, it's best to just play with the friends you already know.In short, Left4Dead 2 provides a refresh new experience, even for veterans of Left4Dead, and an exciting gameplay that fans of shooter games will likely enjoy. It is possibly the last game in the series since oddly enough, Valve is adverse the the number 3 as popular rumours go. Well, until then, mods will help to further extent the lifespan of this game far beyond 8 years (it was released in 2009).
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is the third and final installment of the pretty successful survival-horror first-person shooter franchise, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Assume the role of Agent Alexander Degtyarev, a undercover modern-day treasure hunter, a "stalker", as you once again venture into the vicinity of the highly-contiminated zone of the ill-fated Chernobyl nuclear explosion in 1986 in hopes of finding out what happened to the five military helicopters that went missing around the area. The game is as brilliantly creepy as ever with the addition of new yet equally gruesome monsters as well as a world environment that's built based on real-life photos captured in the exclusion zone. The survival aspect of the game has also been revamped with the addition of a sleep function, a new A-life system and emissions that can influence the game environment.There is even a free play mode after you've completed all the main quests, as well as a slew of side quests that you can pick up and do. Interestingly, the game has a Battle Royale-like multiplayer component that can support up to 32 players, has four different game modes along with multiple maps.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat has been hailed as the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R game yet, and obivously, it is for good reasons. If you think you'll enjoy playing this, you might be interested to get the S.T.A.L.K.E.R bundle which includes all 3 games.
