Left 4 Dead 2 "Tweaked" AU Release. My Thoughts.
Can't talk now. Shooting zombies.
I cannot overstate how much difference playing the uncencored version makes.
Interestingly
a) The graphics are better. I'm assuming it's because the models and animations are expecting blood and gore to 'filter' the players view.
b) It's harder. Much harder. For starters taking away the riot-not-a-cop zombie takes away the impunity of just mowing down the hoard on full-auto. (He's bullet-proofish, thereby providing cover to those behind him). But the difficulty increase is mainly due to...
c) The frentic, panicked struggle for survival is back. The blood (not just theirs), the red mist of close quarters combat. You actually have to try. It's not _actually_ harder (aside from the riot-not-a-cops, but that balances with the ability to visually confirm ranged kills) it just feels harder because the blood invokes the ingraned survival instinct.
