Good point. However, I have another view on things. Place is making the game "goofy" to make the game appeal to a larger audience in roblox. He is trying to bring in more players. Place makes descisions based on what the shit audience likes. The same audience that keeps mediocre games on the front page. Examples such as the TMM gamemode and earbuds greatly prove my point. How does this affect R2D? People have had the illusion that R2D was a serious zombie game because of the fact that it was based off the L4D series. This thought gave a nice feel to the game which supported how long the player's interest in the game lasted. I believe that bosses didn't affect this thought because the holiday seemed like a valid excuse. Adding things such as the laser gun and pets kill this thought. A portion of the community loses a bit of interest in the game since the mood of the game has been altered. I'm not saying that change is bad, I'm just expressing how I feel about Place's decsions on adding to the game to please the other audience.

Yes, roblox can be "goofy" at times but that doesn't necessarily mean that games have to follow. Roblox was meant to allow lots of creativity. I don't see how it makes sense to limit a game to being goofy.

"Besides the point, I'd say roblox wasn't even originally made to attract a older audience." I did some research and roblox was described as this.

Roblox, stylized as RŌBLOX, is a massively multiplayer online game created and marketed toward children and teenagers aged 8–18.

"If you want this to be a serious experience, then go play L4D or L4D. Afterall, R2D is just a roblox remake of them."

I understand that R2D is a remake. The game seemed better off and already fun by itself with the thought of a serious zombie game. I'm just trying to keep that aspect of the game or at least enough of it. R2D is a great example of a good game on roblox. It would be disappointing to see the serious zombie game aspect that had a nice feel die off. I'm assuming that a portion of the community will lose interest in R2D like I almost have.

I can't say I will still have interest in R2D in the near-future. The mood is disappearing. The community has worsened. I believe the game is dying just like roblox itself.
