  I did enjoy it but I only maybe put 10 hours into it or so. I think it tried to be more than L4D with all the perks/cards or whatever but IMO people just want a zombie survival game you can spontaneously jump in and out of with some friends

    I don’t see myself ever playing a video game with cards in it.

    I hear “cards” or “deck-building” or “RPG mechanics” and I think oh my god this is going to be a boring slog where I have to constantly make pointless decisions instead of doing what I want to do, which is shooting zombies

      Even as someone who generally enjoys games adapted eith similar rules, I HATE videogames with cards or a board as their main logical center. It’s a VIDEO GAME, not a rable top… FFS, at least hide it behind a minimally intrusive UI…

    I didn’t enjoy it at all, but you’re right about what people wanted. L4D is so simple in its core concept and streamlined in its gameplay, but it still has a ton of depth. That’s what people want.

    I just generally need more games I can just quickly play. Why do I have to spend 30+ minutes just to play anything? I love Rocket League for the ability to quickly do a few games with the friends while we consider what to play.

  I really wanted it to be good, too. They tried to modernize the mechanics so much that they lost touch with what made L4D fun in the first place.

  It had the worst gunplay ive felt in a long time and the atmosphere of the game was destroyed by all the rainbow coloured glow effects and animations. That game was so full of really weird design choices.
