Left 4 Dead is better than The Walking Dead

Tv ShowThis is where the walking dead shines in some aspects. The show itself is based off of the comics and has been a gigantic hit every since its debut. It is estimated that the walking dead makes around 11 million dollars per episode.[1]It is also one of the most costly shows to put an add up in due to its popularity. Sunday Night Football (NBC): $628,0002. Monday Night Football (ESPN): $408,0003. The Walking Dead (AMC): $326,0004. The Big Bang Theory (CBS): $317,1605. American Idol (Wednesday) (FOX): $281,6006. The Voice (Tuesday) (NBC): $273,7147. The Following (FOX): $264,3008. The Voice (Monday) (NBC): $259,2409. American Idol (Thursday) (FOX): $257,92610. Modern Family (ABC): $249,025 [1]It has also been nominated for numerous awards including emmys for art and makeup, and a Golden Globe for best TV Drama [2]. The TV show went from popular to fancult really fast. The mid season finale episode delivered an amazing 15.8 million views on its first play through with millions more in the repeats [3]. The show has a devout and loyal following and this is just the show, I am not even counting the comics The ComicsEven my adversary notes this is where the walking dead is strong, and where the show is based off of. The comics are far ahead of the show and are far worse in both graphics and detail. Rick losses his hand in the comics along with different events that are never portrayed in the show. Characters are portrayed differently in the comics than the show as well. Such as Shane and dale, both act completely different and Shane is more violent and stupid in the comics than the actual show. Different parts such as the prison assault result in different outcomes such as rick getting his hand chopped off and different people dying at different times [4]. The good part is the comics are much more descriptive and have a lot more content. The comics have been around since 2003 and are responsible for the show. With both the comics and the shows fans and followers nearing billions over the past decade. [5]CharactersThe characters are much more in depth than L4DSPOILERSThe Governor This crazy dude is not scared of anything and will do anything to get what he wants. He is a true sociopath and will manipulate others to accomplish his ends without blinking an eye. His family was murdered in front of him and he kept his daughter locked in a closet as a zombie and fed her for years in hopes of finding a cure. When his zombie daughter is slain, he goes of the handle. He starts murdering people without as much of a blink, and even went as far as to wipe an entire town out that he took care of for no reason. Daryl and Merl Characters that are strictly in the TV series and not the comics. Both use to be druggies and merl was a meth head that raised his brother Daryl. Later on they group up with a group of people which leads to a fight between merl and rick. Merl goes missing and comes back later in the show to claim his brother. This leads to confrontations between the two brothers about whom darly is loyal too. Daryl is a redneck tracker with a kind heart and amazing shot. He is the fan favorite in the TV show. Later the two brothers meet up with a shocking ending to their story, as Merl attempts to to become a good guy in the show. Abraham Traveling with a Group that thinks they have the cure for the virus. He is heading to the white house and often butts heads with other characters in the show because of his desire to make it there. No word has been received from the white house but he pushes on constantly with his group in a hope to try and distribute the so called antidote. He is very head strong and often clashes with others. PlotThe Plot itself in both the comics and the show are amazing. It often takes groups of people lets them meet up and then splits them up and then turns them against each other. It has no quarry as to who dies, and kills of fan favorites all the timesan example of this is like thisGroup AmeetsGroup BThey group up and form an alliance. The alliance tries to fortuity an area when Group C attacks them. No one is aware of whom is actually in Group C and the fight splits all the group upGroup A - D is formed with members in different groups looking for each other and trying to survive. They often add plot twists like someones brother is in one group and someone leaves that group and joins the group with that persons sisters whom them leaves that group to go find their brother and dies in the process, and then the brothers group finds the sister and has to kill her. There are all kind of twists and turns in the plot that make it amazing to watch and it is a progressive story about survival that is always introducing new characters and plot twists. The GameThe game itself has received a perfect 5/5 of five stars from multiple review sites such as games radar and even received a 9.3 out of ten from IGN which is an astonishing score[6][7]]. These scores far surpass that of L4D. Why L4D can invoke some fun multi player, the walking dead has an amazing plot and game system that accompany it. What makes it fun as that the choices you make in the game have ripple effects that follow you all throughout the game as you play. Some choice you make early on can effect the story later on, which can effect the story again so forth and so on. It is open ended and very fun. "As you play through the five episodes, the big moments come when you choose how Lee responds to situations and what he says in conversations with his fellow survivors. Choices and dialogue pop up on screen with timers, and you have seconds to pick exactly what you’re going to do or say. Whereas previous adventure games from developer Telltale Games would let you run through every possible line of dialogue, that isn’t the case here. In The Walking Dead, you choose, and the game moves on – adapting its story to each decision." [7]"This is what makes The Walking Dead so special. You and I are tasked with the same goal of protecting Clem, but the way we do it might be completely different. I might choose to befriend someone you hate, and you might choose to leave someone I took. I might shoot my mouth off in anger, but you might keep your cool; either way, the group will remember that and the dynamic will change. The decisions you’re making in the moment have ripples that go throughout the entire adventure. When you get to Episode 5, the things you have and haven’t done – the choices you haven’t thought about since Episode 1 – are going to come up." [7]ConclusionWhy both franchises are good, there is no comparison as to which is best. The walking dead has a way bigger following and has the reviews, ratings, and fans to back it up as the best franchise. It is like comparing the Bucs to the Patriots[1] http://www.complex.com...[2] http://www.eonline.com...[3] http://blogs.amctv.com...[4] http://www.thewalkingdead.com...[5] http://en.wikipedia.org...(comic_book)[6] http://www.gamesradar.com...[7] http://www.ign.com...
