too much convenience in other games...

[Cranky Old Man]

I was thinking... you know I feel like murdering some zombies so I got out L4D and it occurred to me that everything is too convenient - granted it is a video game but still it kind of annyos me.

First off, this should be in the Off-Topic forum, as it's not about Penumbra.

L4D prouds itself on being convenient: The gameplay is directed by an AI that is to make sure that it is.
However, yes, todays gameplay isn't the mindraping games of my youth. They don't hone skills and focus, but dulls them, turning gamers into spoiled, weak idiots. In games of old, we had three "HP", and if we were lucky, we'd get an extra HP after we killed over a thousand enemies.
