    Valve’s shooters be like

    I wish we’d get another Left 4 Dead, and while I don’t feel like TF2 really needs a new game, it could probably do with a fresh coat of paint (like PBR materials).

        I mean, half-life recently got a new game. It wasn’t Half-Life 3/HL2:EP3, but it was more recent than L4D and TF2; which tend to be forgotten about until people start complaining.

          When you gate it behind VR, most people aren’t going to play it. It’s also a prequel and wont address the cliff hanger ending.

      Goddamn, for real. Left 4 Dead 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, maybe even my favorite. Everything that’s there adds to the experience and is finely tuned and crafted. It just plays so well that it’s the only game that Ive played for over 200 hours and still go back to that has no meta progression whatsoever, aside from achievements I don’t even chase.

        that has no meta progression whatsoever

        That’s one of the reasons I liked it. Everyone has the same experience, there’s no FOMO. It’s just so pure.

        I was among the millions to cry foul that LFD2 came out so soon after the first game. It seemed like it was just gonna be a $60 map pack.

        But goddamn they brought their A game and really did improve everything about the original.
