You're mad that greater difficulty would make pickup games impossible... what?kingcomrade said:
That doesn't make sense, though. If you're bad at teamwork in a team-based videogame, you're bad at the videogame.
Sure it does.
"even people who are good at video games"
I'm not your friend.

So what does "good at videogames" mean? Coordinated? Skillful? Skillful at what? Because Alien Swarm is a videogame and having horrible teamwork skills means you are bad at Alien Swarm. Which means you are not good at at least one videogame, which means you are not "good at videogames", which means what you're saying makes no sense.kingcomrade said:
Haha now you're just spewing.
Wow, someone's touchy.
He mentioned in the L4D thread how he runs in front of people who are shooting.MetalCraze said:

Don't bullshit me.
Since AW is solo-able no it doesn't.
Haha now you're just spewing. Seriously, what you said would make total sense in the "you win if you don't shoot teammates" game. You don't have to be good at teamwork to win at Alien Swarm, it just doesn't make you fun to play with.
Reading failure. I wrote that I'm usually the person out in front, not that I jump in front of people who are shooting.

Which difficulty are we talking about? Normal, hard, insane, or Ashery's insane?
So you are saying that you still win even when people shoot you for 60% of your damage? In that case it seems odd that you don't think the game is too easy.
Well either you're bullshitting me or you're really stupid. You haven't recognized differences in skill levels between players? That people who are good at one video game are often good at other video games, while people who are bad at some video games are often bad at a lot of video games?
Doesn't matter, teamwork makes things easier, but "good" teamwork is not necessary to beat the game, just to get all the xbox achievements. If you have four people who suck at teamwork but are good at killing aliens and moving forward you can still win, it will just be more difficult and messy.
60% of the damage I take, not 60% of my health. And yes the game is pretty easy. It's a shame most of the items and guns are superfluous.
Thanks for the advice, I was concerned about that since I don't enjoy seeing the petty small-mindedness in others and feeling justified in thinking you're all petty and small-minded.
I get what you mean, but I don't think many people are just innately good at videogames. People who play videogames a lot are usually better at games because they put more time into playing ("practicing") them than others, take them more seriously, etc. I would expect someone who is good at Quake to be good at UT or Doom because they require similar skillsets and a Quake player is likely to play Doom a lot more than some random 'casual' person who plays Doom once with a friend. People are good at games because they play games with similar skillsets or play them more; beyond pure reflexes/coordination I doubt anyone has ever been naturally skilled at videogames.kingcomrade said:
