Favorite Valve Game?

L4D

Everyone of Valve's games I've played, I've loved (but I felt a little let down by Left 4 Dead).

It's close between Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2. I think TF2 just edges it though...

can you expand on why u wer let down?

It wasn't anything to do with the gameplay or anything like that. It was just how unsubstantial it felt. I'm not someone who can play the same four levels over and over; if Valve released a map-pack or something for it, my only nit-pick would be answered...

hmm makes sense, but (correct me if I'm wrong) isn't there the same amount of TF2 maps?

Am I right in saying there's four L4D maps?
If I remember rightly, there's six maps in TF2. Not that many more, now I think of it. Must be the online play that makes me like TF2 so much. (When I tried L4D, it was offline split-screen. Maybe that's why I didn't think it was as good as everyone was saying...)

Yeah, definetly try Versus mode, that's the only mode I play! Tip: What's especcially fun is speed-running with 1 friend and not telling your other two teammates who than are like WTF?

I would try it, but I don't own an Xbox of my own (I tried L4D at a friend's house), and he's too tight with money to pay for Xbox Live...
Shame, it sounds like a laugh...

I felt the same way. I think it's just the fact that everyone was saying that it was the best game ever and compared to the raving done about it, the game as a whole seemed very average.

OP-Are you asking about favorite valve or the obox game?
The obox was a great deal and is definitely valve's gold star and portal way my favorite offering from it.

Half Life 2 is the only game in recent memory where I have felt compelled to get to the end, a good old proper "holy crap I cannot put this controller down"

(yeah I got it for the 360, sorry)

Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 come for a tie.
They will do battle when the remaining three classes are updated, and the final episode comes out.

Dude, don't make them fight, I can't afford insurance for this universe.

Anyway, I have to say Episode 2. It takes the great story of HL2, and somehow manages to better the gameplay even more. Not to mention that it added a great new character (not Magnusson, I mean the Vortigaunt) and had one of the best endings ever.

Portal.

I thought Half-Life 2 was good, but not world shattering.

Portal on the other hand is the second coming.

I enjoyed Magnusson. Kleiner and him were excellent mutual foils, and he was a good balance to the cast.

Half-Life 2 FTW

True, I suppose. He is a good balance to the "mutual admiration society." Although more introduction would have been nice, even as simple as mentioning in passing that Magnusson was at White Forest, before we actually see him. I mean, Gordon would know who he was, but not that he was there.

I'm of the mind that they haven't made a bad game. If I were forced to choose one, I would probably go with Half Life 2 by a hair over the original. Gravity Gun Trumps Xen finale. Ask me again in a few months though, and Left 4 Dead may overtake both.

Day of defeat was what got me turned onto valve. Great game... No further explination needed.

 

[pantsoffdanceoff]

Half Life 2 damn it's just so good. But I couldn't tell you why.

 

[quack35]

Half Life 2.

 

[Dr.Sean]

Tf2 and synergy combines all Hl2 games

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

Left 4 Dead or Portal.

A Tie between HL2 (plus its episodes) and Portal.

Now look at me singing along when there is science to do!
When I look around I am glad I'm not you
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive!
I'm still alive!
still alive

TF2 forever!

Doesn't have any real story at all, meet the team hilarity aside, but I found the gameplay to be the most fun, addicting, and substantial.

A great philosopher once said 'Portals GREAT, and if you dont think so you must be STUPID'

 

[nickster1]
