The game itself isn't awful, but the gameplay is. I only spent as much time with as I did because I had friends counting on me to play it with them. Surely you've put up with bad or mediocre games because you're playing with friends. Anything can be fun if you do it with friends.

There's so many holes in the popularity argument Soriku, you don't want to use it.

I guess. Not 50 hours though.

And all I'm saying is that it's popular because a lot of people enjoy the gameplay (including the co-op), that's all. It's not like there are any other reasons to play the game.

I definitely think there's a cycle to it. People want to play what their friends are playing, so that's why you have people who aren't super interested in gaming buying what is popular or trendy. It's a major reason why all of the yearly entries like COD, Battlefield, and Pokemon sell as well as they do.

I'm sure that's a reason but I don't think the series would've gotten as big as it has if everyone thought the gameplay was bad.

It got big because it was unique. Group of 4 friends could sit next to each other and fight monsters. The absurd amount of content gives you a lot of value and the multiple weapons give you variety despite playing the same 3-4 areas a billion times over and over again. It's also very pretty and advertised extremely well. It just grew from there, largely on word of mouth.
