i've been playing a lot of left 4 dead 2 recently, what a fantastic game.

i've had plenty of experiences with 4vE (4 vs Environment) games before, namely the "-tide" games of warhammer fame, but those never really stuck with me. the only times i came back to play them were when my friends wanted to (the very reason i owned them in the first place). vermintide 2 is pretty fun for a little bit i suppose, then you have darktide which has the worst hitreg in any video game released after Bubsy 3D and overall just feels unsatisfying and unengaging. my main issue with both of these games stems from their meta progression and having to experience 30 hours of higher level players doing everything for you before you get to have fun playing the game too.

left 4 dead 2, does not do that. and that's a big part of why i love it so much, moreso now than ever. from the very very moment you buy the game, you get access to EVERYTHING it has. every campaign, every weapon, every character. you don't have to be stuck using a dinky ass pistol for 3 hours until you buy a MAC-10 in the game's store with the attribute of "2% faster revive for 4 seconds after killing a hunter by headshot", no need to play for 20 hours to "unlock the laser sight upgrade!!!" or whatever because you can just find it in maps.

and that's just why i love it within the context of modern video games, the game itself is so so much fun and feels so wonderful, i don't think any other game has a more satisfying AK-47 you can shoot, i actually want to pay attention to the banter of the survivors because they are interesting characters (louis is my favorite out of both games), oh and shotgunning common infected... AAA!!! i love left 4 dead so much. i've been going through all of the campaigns on expert with a few buds recently and i've been having a BLAST! it enforces a very enjoyable slow pace that feels tense and exciting! well, when you're not biling through infinite hordes, that is.

should add a few games to the gechtag. this game and Mosa Lina for sure, maybe Corn Kidz after i finish my video (SOON), though i've recently begun work on another project with two other friends of mine that is very intimidating but
i am eager to try regardless... game dev! well, okay, i'm not hands on with the implementation of game design like you'd expect exactly, and i am also not the lead, but i AM the artist & animator. i'm not necessarily the greatest at those two, arting and animating... i mean, you're seeing my abilities on this site right now. but i'm trying my best! i'd like to think i have good enough comprehension of the craft... just lacking in practice to make me actually efficient in it. hey, you only live once, right? haha.

it's small in scope. i wanna be hopeful about it, that it gets finished.

in other news, excited as HELL to play mewgenics. seen quite a bit of gameplay of it and it looks just phenomenal, certainly to be expected from the man that made three of some of my favorite games of all time (& more, TIME FCUK is certainly worth your time).
