The previous entries in the series were so good, this was an insta-buy for me.

I don't have Windows. I got B4B in the ukraine bundle, around when proton was updated to support their anti cheat. Works fine. All my friends are on windows and we have zero problems in multiplayer. I ended up buying all the expansions and they all work fine too. The only problems is with the in game movies, they start to stutter after a while, but its a very minor problem and once you have seen them, you always skip them afterward anyway.

Same here, I don't get all the hate that Back 4 Blood gets. Sure, its not as polished as L4D, the physics are really basic and bodies and items won't fly all over the place, but the gameplay is solid. It's a lot more hardcore than L4D, you need careful consideration when crafting your deck, and a bit of grinding is required to get all the better cards, but there are so many possibilities, L4D can't do that. Of course, if you only play casually once in a while with other casual players, stick to L4D, its a way better game for casual play. L4D is way easier to learn for new players and doesn't require a considerable time investment to craft decks that will allow you to survive on the harder difficulty levels that B4B offers. I think both games are great, and both have their places. I know I will continue to play them both for the years to come.

What's the point? It's not like the display is super large to start with... everything's already tiny on there. The stock display resolution is appropriate for the size of the Steam deck. This just looks like more e-waste to me. What will people do with their stock displays when they upgrade to this one? Trash it because there will not be a market for second hand Steam Deck displays?

Do they work like VR for 3d scenes, do you get good depth perception? I was never really interested in those big VR headsets, but something light like these glasses might be interesting.

The plan is to add heat resistant mitts, which go in the gloves slot and that you can forget about forever after once equipped.

This horde genre has been popular for a long time, in my group we usually call horde games Phobia like games, after the Phobia series. Most of the people here that know the series probably played Phobia 3 (https://www.mobygames.com/game/61176/phobia-iii-edge-of-humanity/) which was Linux native, but the first game of the series, Alien Phobia, was released in 1997 for Dos. https://www.mobygames.com/game/4138/alien-phobia/ [External Link]

Also had bad experiences with video games Kickstarters... but I'm still tempted to back this one at the early access level so I have a way to bug the devs to make sure there's a way to turn off animations and have super fast units movements on the map for quick play, like what you get in Advance Wars when you turn everything off. There's no point in these animations other than wasting time and artificially inflating expected play time for the game marketing (80h campaign! Of which, 78h is repetitive animations!!!). It's fun to watch the first time, but after that its always the same thing over and over and over and over and over...
