Wow, that's shitty, I liked L4D but only in short bursts and I wouldn't pay that much for a campaign ESPECIALLY if I can get it for free elsewhere. And the PC version even has a mod scene so I'd rather just pick up a PC copy and increase my playtime ten-fold.
And as I see Microsoft's "economy": If someone's offering DLC with achievements for a price and another guy is offering DLC with achievements for free people could go to that game over the other (goddamn cheevo-whores) so to play fair they have to charge so nobody get's undercut. There's a law in real life like this that I fail to remember but I think it's just the principle of the thing. 'Prolly the same reason they charge for most gamerpics and themes too, if you could get decent ones free then a lot of people wouldn't buy what other companies are offering

Guys just cut the shit
Microsoft is in the right on the no gay gamertag/bios thing because they're a business. There are more people out there that are homophobic because of moral/religious issues than there are gay people and they're just trying to please the majority to sell shit to them. If they banned all straight pandering tags and bios they'd probably lose over 30% of subscribers. It's double standards and it's not a consciously right thing to do but it's a business decision period.
Microsoft doesn't ban these people because their homophobes but because people complained about it. It's not Microsoft who's to blame, it's the homophobic members of the community who complain to Microsoft who could potentially cancel their service and then Microsoft would lose money.

- Re: Developer Question: Best 'hard mode' in games?
Ninja Gaiden Black
It goes beyond bigger health and stronger attacks, it tests your skill at the game and it forces you to use defensive moves way more than easier difficulties changing the way you play the game. And it provides an actual challenge, something games lack nowadays because of the marketability. You don't have to think about that though because it's an optional difficulty. And not an unfair challenge mind you, NG on the hardest difficulty was doable as long as you know what you were doing and managing your defense and offense at the same time, adding another layer of depth and a sense of hesitation to the game
Also add something to the hard mode that isn't in the other modes, it's a great incentive for another playthrough and rewards perseverance for dedicated players. And not just an extra set of armor or weaponry, add hidden and unique elements like another explorable area that's not filled with generic creatures. Adds miles to the experience. Keep players exploring your virtual solar system searching for the obscure easter egg and hidden secrets of the world

- Re: Here we go again: Flower creators says games must be more artistic
I hate developers who set out, first and foremost to make an art game
What makes a game is gameplay. Build that, make it entertaining and THEN fit your message into it. And people who defend bad games "because it's trying to convey a message" are just as bad as the people making them. Most of all games are GAMES. Think of it as a sport. You wouldn't call football art no matter how much you change it.
I have no problem with trying to achieve higher narrative and emotional experiences in videogames, but to make that more important than the game itself is shallow and pretentious. Take Runner for example, I liked the emotions coming from it and everything was placed visually with thought to convey a message. But as a game it sucked. Hard.
Art game devs: Take a cue from Braid. He fucking designed his game, first and foremost, as a technical experience. He sacrificed visual aspects and gameplay elements to make the player ENJOY what he's doing instead of carrying him around on a leash and pointing out the objects deemed "deep" and "meaningful"
Strip out the story and visuals from your game. If it's not fun to play then just stop it.
