I vote to not play games made by known scammers who commit false advertising and fraud.

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

Needs an infected campaign mode if they want versus to be balanced. Also increase it to 60 ticks for the love of God.

Compfags ruin every multiplayer game they touch. All of them. Absolutely none are safe.
The sooner you accept this and stop playing multiplayer altogether, the easier it will be.

It's really impressive how nearly 2 decades after launch, this has the worst community in all of gaming. Griefing in campaign and cringey-edgelord redditors in versus. EVERY game starts and the guy with the anime profile picture WILL start tossing out slurs.
What a miserable group of people.

>>720166185 (OP)
This game is full of spics

This is why Valve pisses me off just as much as corrupt corpos despite doing good work. They have infinite money and time but for some reason refuse to maintain their older games to a decent standard, because they don't pull in the money Dota 2 does. But you already have a limitless source of income you fat fucking retards! FIX THE FUCKING GAMES VALVE

Insane hyperbole, l4d2 is not even remotely close to the worst and in fact I appreciate when I can play a game populated almost exclusively by adults that aren't afraid to say whatever they want.

>>720166628
Sorry you're bad
>>720166703
True

>>720166525
There are mods to allow you to play Versus against a survivor team of bots.
Most of the time they are scarier than actual players.

>>720167710
At least I'm happy lol.

>>720167719
Yeah but it needs to be built in. 1/2 the game play is locked down basically.

>>720168341
Fair enough lol

>before they removed the fun console commands
I miss jumping off buildings and midair "kill" commanding as Boomer to get perfect 4 player bile hits.

>>720166459
Here's the Artifact schizo again. You haven't been taking your medicaments recently, am I right?
Artifact is gone. Not coming back, like a much bigger title, Half-Life. Nobody cares.
Time to move on, free your heart and mind of hate, except do keep shitting on Valve as they deserve it, but Artifact is nothing but a speck of snow on a tip of an iceberg of grievances.

>>720169021
Nice lol. L4D2 really needs a bunch of small quality of life improvements. Some of the molded servers fix things. Like allowing boomers to bile while walking

The Last Stand Update ruined L4D2.

You know, I just came back to this for the first time in years and the thing even worse than the horrible versus community is how you can just get sent to random ass servers with infinite hp and 200 special infected and it doxes you when you enter. Click versus? Sorry this is some sort of campaign mess. It just fucking sends you anywhere. I think they're disguising themselves as official Valve servers so people get forced into them by mistake. I hate that shit.

>>720170138
Yeah I hate that shit too.

>>720166819
Corporations exist to earn profit for the top shateholders (or a singluar owner, but that's rare nowadays). Why fund a team to "fix" a game done and old? That costs more than potential profits. The brand, at this point, does not project profits which would excuse the use of corporate workforce in order to do anything more with it than was done already. Valve still isn't as bad as Asian (China, Korea, Japan) corporations that shut down their multiplayer servers the moment projected profits for the year become lower than potential expsenses. Just pulling the plug and that's all folks, but don't worry, here's some upcoming, new (multiple of them) formulaic titles with even more predatory mechanisms all carefully tailored to milk you for as long as possible and then shut the thing down on you.
Meanwhile, Valve still keeps alive games like TF2 - yea, I know, micro transactions, but as far as I know, none of them allow you to get ahead of other players even if you only started.

>>720169415
You know he doesn't actually care for artifact? Purely satire poster

>>720170587
I would believe it's satire if it was funny, that's one thing, and if I didn't know how extremely autistic are card game players (see Master Duel), that's the second.

>>720170495
Valve is a private company and doesn't have fiduciarybduty to shareholders.

>l4d2 kept alive by third worlders
>tf2 kept alive by trannies and chuds

valve games are cursed

>>720166185 (OP)
I will never get over the fact that, for a while there, there was an OFFICIAL community pinned post that basically went
>yeah, since there's only one queue, if you wanna play versus, expect comp attitude as the default
>oh you don't like that? clearly that's not just your preference, you just need to git gud
>here install these mods and play privately by yourself for 50 hours
>then, after you accepted how it's gonna be AND you've gotten gud, you can play this party mode online
This being said for a game where
A) Not only are there community servers you can play on if you only want to play a specific way
B) Not only are there whole community matchmaking queues like CEDAPUG if you wanna play comp/ranked
C) But there is also a BUILT-IN MUTATION THAT YOU CAN PLAY IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE MORE COMPETITIVE VERSION OF THE GAME

>>720171701
Valve players deserve it. They get plenty of alternatives to switch to if they hate the current state of the game so much, but when you float one they always say some shit like
>oh but does it have THIS feature
and then it's something that none of them care about or ever actually use. With TF2 specifically, you see so many people go "but it don't got community servers tho....." and it's like, my dude, you had a whole fukken petition where you said the game was literally unplayable because you had to use community servers, and it got over 300,000 signatures. You do not actually care about that shit.

>>720172021
To be fair the mutation search is aids + broken.
>pick one of 30 mutations
>OK now check if there are any games!
Mutation search should show all lobbies

>>720166185 (OP)
What do you think those two are thinking?

>>720172971
>damn, I'm hungry

>>720168771
F1

>>720172935
It's aids if you want to play mutations, plural. A variety. The issue doesn't exist when it's a bunch of people just wanting the one way to play.

my ancestor :)

>>720173598
That's the problem. Menus should encourage people to funnel into whatever is available. If there is 1 mutation lobby and you don't like it, make a 2nd. Then everyone will see the 2 lobbies and not have to dig through the menus to *maybe* find one.

>>720173795
Indeed, but that's just a separate issue to this thread and reply chain.

>>720168771
So do L4D2 players immediately press F1 whenever a vote comes up without even reading what it is for?

>>720174246
All games with votes have this. First option, always.
