#anywho yeah a B4B graphic novel would be nice to read

[violet-dragongirl]

yknow as much as I gave seething thoughts on the mechanics and yes story of Back4Blood I really think that, in order to not just satisfy me but to really make it better than it was and yeah actually is at this point, print out graphic novels detailing the things that aren't spoken or said in the game.

Like...let that be the support of WHY the characters are why they are in a terrible place and why they have to deal with each other while also learning to be kind to one another in the hell that is the ridden infested lands they live in.

And yeah if Turtle Rock were to really make this a complete spiritual successor, leave hints and just enough of small context and connection to the Left4Dead series. Place Back4Blood like...5 to 10 years in the future of the hell that happened.

And yeah go into the origin stories of the 12 (or is it 11 I forgot) characters. Not too deep tho, just about 5 pages or so of understanding. Yes even for the asshole, Hoffman.

But more importantly go into small vignettes and chapters of stuff outside of missions or maybe during the 'boring' stuff, like patrols, or go into the different settlements and how they act with one another and how the main characters react to their responses or actions. Also like, it'd be really interesting to see the solo or two person unit runs where they failed but lived, and get into just...like...things within that universe.

I say all of this because, not only is the story lacking a lot of depth that L4D, it STILL promise to be something larger than L4D and even be it's own entity as an IP. Because mechanically it was such a let down, and probably still will be, then just, flesh out the story more.

I admit, they did do that in the 3rd DLC, but really...it could be more and yeah, better.

And again, I had a rough time with it because of it's potential to be more than that. And so...why not put the story into a different medium? And like...yeah Gears of War did it and it was good as a game in and of itself, but I really feel like Back4Blood as a whole IP can really be something in the form of a graphic novel and just let the game be a mixed thing in people's minds but say that yeah the comics did expand and make the game worth playing.
