So it's not only Capcom and Sony who are copying that.

Really, it's M$ for the win since they're being imitated

No, it's just a matter of giving the gamers what they want. These days we all love ourselves some achievements. If this was Microsoft being intimidating then it'd be like Fallout 3 where you actually tie into an XBL account to play.


On another note-- Shrin, Bovine and I attempted Expert tonight... it's pretty harsh, haha. FF hurts a lot, and even a NORMAL zombie hurting you causes 20pts of damage. It's very unforgiving and you're basically playing the whole time paranoid about getting hit. Tanks are even more brutal too. We tried a few times... the farthest we got was on No Mercy right before the hospital, just couldn't get to the safe house. Granted most of the time we didn't have a 4th person, but still... very brutal. No wonder this is its own achievement.

I will rue the day all hope of me becoming incredibly proficient at this game disappears. This is a game I need to get into and want to destroy.

Actually he's serious... somewhere along the line Sine did a 180 on keyboard/mouse vs controller. I don't understand it either. This from the guy who used to claim up and down that FPS's could only be played on a PC.

It's weird. I got use to it and it works better with my HDTV setup. Aiming is a bit more interesting, but it's almost as good as a mouse. I suppose when/if I move my PC off of the HDTV, I might go back to the mouse.

Everyone's all angry at Valve for this... but seriously, isn't Microsoft the one who forces them to charge for the DLC?

That's a Microshaft move all the way. Fuck them, I ain't payin' for it.
