Golf is the worst sport. Fishing is not for everyone, but I find it to be an incredibly deep rabbit hole, filled with things to geek out on.

Keep the graphics and gameplay.

Everyone hates it because they got their hopes up it was L4D3, but it isn’t and isn’t intended to be.

Having had pretty extensive exposure to MSFT in my career (working with them, working with their tech, and even working directly for them), I will believe this when I see it.

Both perspectives are valid. They are perfecting a formula with each iteration, but it’s all too familiar for the people who have played every entry.

Teenagers, man.  I knew dudes who would find stuff in the woods and just fuck it up just because it was fun.  Taking trophies which were useless to do who the fuck knows what with it.

It seems too silly even for them.  Nobody would be able to make games and apps for the thing if that were the case.

Double Buffering was a solved problem in the 90's. There’s no way this is why. More likely, it’s incompetence. Sony has a long history of that when it comes to their product design.

Bah. The studies show the number of parents is more important than the gender of the parents.

Yeah, I was waiting for .kkreiger to be mentioned.

Did they ever fix the issues with “Riddle of Master Lu”?  I never could find a way to get that working well, not with SCUMMVM, not with DOSBox, not with AppCompat running on bare metal.  It was always stuttery.

Nuance exists in the world:

I’m of two minds on this.

In fairness, Microsoft has a history of paid product placement.

That’s why I still play L4D, but only on PC.  It’s the maps which keep it fresh - and there’s some great ones people have made.

The disagreement you’re getting is valid, however, I would say that the skill tree system is for a different demographic of player.

I’m in the curious position of being friends with a dude who is a regular Breitbart reader, and a big tall gay black man who is best buddies with him.

I am referring to the online coop. The components of the game design were there before individually (and other games using the source engine, and the highly detailed models), but you will be unable to point to another online 4 person FPS coop game which manages upwards of 100 enemies on screen at once prior to L4D -…

First I heard about the random obstacle thing (if it was implied - it was not terribly widespread).
