Comment on Do you prefer RPGs or FPS games?

RPG and FPS don’t need to be exclusive tags.
For example cyberpunk does a pretty good job marrying the two.
I prefer games with a strong character creator which tend to be RPG games. I’ve been really enjoying Baldur’s Gate 3.
However, games like the sims, left4dead2 and the Borderlands series are pretty fun too.

fun is classified by having a feeling of enjoyment from playing a video game.
hope this helps.

So what’s fun about that series has changed overtime.
When I first got l4d1 I was excited to share a spooky experience with friends. I found the atmosphere of the campaigns and characters interaction to be enjoyable.
When l4d2 came out I was a seasoned player and I felt that the level design was worse (but still fun) than the first game except for Hard Rain, that campaign was very challenging. However the addition of melee weapons was huge and the new variety of monsters appreciated.
But what kept me coming back was how much love went into the game over the course of its lifetime. All the l4d1 campaigns and characters got imported, extra campaigns were added. All for free (on PC) to enjoy.
The workshop added infinite replayability as there’s so many custom campaigns and other whacky content to explore.
Also the PvP mode where your team takes turns doing the campaign and playing as the zombies was easily the best way to play the game in my opinion.
So if you didn’t get into the game with a group of friends back when it was the zombie game to play. I could see why you might not think it’s fun or if you didn’t have any friends to play with. It’s not a great single player experience and the AI sucks.

I played it with friends, but quickly got bored of the simple mechanics and lack of progression. It’s like a zombie game skin over Half-life 2.

Yeah it’s pretty basic compared to modern games.
At the time ‘world at war’ was the other popular zombie game and it’s also pretty simple by today’s standards.
I like the lack of progression, it’s nice to know everyone starts the same with each game. No special meta build just to enjoy the game.
I think the game back4blood seriously shot themselves in the foot by lacking the co-op verses mode l4d had. It’s the biggest complaint I hear against it, that and the lack of workshop support to make your own campaigns and content.

Haha, it’s not for everyone. But my favourite games have been games like those or similar.
Have you ever played rimworld or CDDA?
