Left 4 deads most underrated mechanic

Anyone else think that more games should have a similar shove mechanic to left 4 dead? Especially more horde shooters. Only other one I've seen sorta do it was vermintide due to the emphasis on melee combat.

​

Honestly shoving is just such a good tool for maintaining distance, spacing. Being a good panic response for hordes, getting specials off friends or staggering them in emergency situations or even just interacting with certain props to get different vantage points like in speedrunning or even competitive play. Nothing quite as satisfying as stuffing a hunter or jockey mid jump

​

Most other games only have a shove or bash that hits a single enemy and even then it's usually slow and does very low damage. But what do you guys think?

Finding meaning in a stagnant life just doesn't work as a message

I really need to rant about this.

​

Why did gooseworx even say this as a message to take away from the show? The casts life at the end isn't stagnant at all. Their stuck in a digital world where their all essentially gods now with the god of that world now letting them do whatever the heck they wanted. That doesn't sound stagnant that sounds awesome, sure you meet like the same 5 real people but you have near life like NPCs to fuck around with and internet access on top of that to meet more real people if you really wanted to. Plus someone else could always put on the brain scanner

​

A real stagnant life would be something like working a job you don't really like or hate. Stuck in the same position unable to move on or out without sacrificing what little life you already had. But despite that you found meaning in it because you believe your job genuinely is something that helps people as small as it is. Despite your own boredom and repetition eating away at your soul there is at least something there giving you meaning.

​

Waking up with God and playing DND with him isn't what I would call stagnant.
