"Cooperative gaming has been around for a long time, from Gauntlet in the arcade to Double Dragon on the NES. The draw of this style of gameplay is that you can play with a friend (as opposed to taking turns) in a non-competitive way. If you have a friend over who has never played Halo multiplayer, you can always play split screen co-op through the campaign and both have a good time. In addition to "story" or "campaign" co-op, modern multiplayer games usually include a "team" mode which encourages cooperation, modes like "Capture the Flag" or team "deathmatch" or "slayer." In these modes teams benefit from working together against the opposing team. In practice, this often results in a competition to see who can get the most kills on a single team. Your "opponents" might technically be the opposing team, but actually every player in the game becomes (to some extent at least) a challenger to your score (whether that be flag captures or kills). In my experience gaming, I have had only few matches where I honestly felt like I was working together with a group of players to achieve something as a team instead of seeking a high score against other players. For Christmas, my (lovely) wife got me Left 4 Dead, and since that time my conception of cooperative game play, and gaming in general, have changed."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.

its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
He wants to launch all his projects initially through close beta.
L4D was a work of art
It revitalized co-op play, and made me believe that FPS' can just be fun.
