Think Left 4 Dead 2 is an expansion? You're an idiot.

To make this on-topic again.

Nintendo also gets what an expansion is and what a sequel is. Look at their main mario games, Mario Kart, zelda etc. Look at what happened when SSBB came out simply because it was so similar to SSBM. Which is hilarious because the content difference between SSBM and SSBB is nearly infinitely greater than Halo 2 ->3 or MW1 ->2, etc.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I consider the Wii to be the only true console this generation, everything else is a half-assed PC with mostly half-assed games.

The sad part about this is, is I can actually agree with you about the PC comment somewhat. It is sad when consoles lose uniqueness that they had generations ago to focus on something the PC had years ago (Graphics and Online). Recently I think PS3 is trying to reintroduce themselves as unique and hopefully they gain sales for doing that.

Anyways my main beef with L4D2 is the simple really, that it is expansion or sequel to L4D, one of my three regretful full price purchases this generation.

Do't forget what other advantages they lost this generation:

-Installations

-Bug-free games out of the box

-Low hardware failure

-plug and play (how many games require installations now?)

-no need for system updates

-sequels that were actually sequels

Instead they gained something that I can't even call half-assed online, since it's much worse than a half-assed online, and better graphics, which only leads studios to down millions in development so they are forced to rehash they games endlessly and hope customers don't wisen up.
