Do you HONESTLY THINK that they 'gave up' on Half-life? JESUS CHRIST THIS IS SUCH A HIGH-BUDGET STUDIO I REALLY DOUBT THEY WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT JUST TO TROLL THE FANBASE.
Master 'Snake Plissken' is correct. I mean, Blizzard did take what, ten, fifteen years to release a sequel to one of the most popular RTS's of all time, and Valve is kinda busy designing and developing all those hats for TF2 and ensuring that Steam continually works.Snake Plissken said:Everyone hates their release schedule, but it's really no worse than Blizzard.
So you criticize VALVe for not making a new series, then go on to criticize them for not making a sequel to a series. Down syndrome much?Krylock said:When was the last time Valve [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meanwhile.jpg] announced a completely new series? L4D...how long ago was it?
Now they just announced Portal 2...or should I say Portal: More of the Same."
I mean, at least they could have it on a new engine, but NO!
They have used the same engine for an entire decade.
WOW!
Not to mention they have completely forgotten their best franchise! Hey guys! Remember Dr. Freeman! You know, the whole of Earth and stuff!
There should have been no "episodes" in the first place for HL2, and they should have all come out in the same year considering around five minutes were put into each section.
They are the perfect example of a lazy company, stop using the nasty Source engine, and get their engineers to make something that doesn't have Gamecube graphics.
I give up. I can't be pacified with TF2 updates forever. If Valve doesn't announce Episode 3, or HL3 running on a new engine soon I'm just done with them as a developer.
Actually I think they were done with Ep. 3 a long time ago, Gabe just ate it.
What do you think about the company?
You wouldn't be this mad if you didn't love at least one of their games, nobody gets mad that a company is not making new things unless they like the things they make.Krylock said:When was the last time Valve [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meanwhile.jpg] announced a completely new series?

I'm unsure on this one but didn't EA have some part in the Left 4 Dead games?Snotnarok said:You realize...valve is independent right? They're not being published or funded by another company. So their games comeout in larger timeframes.
I have no idea why everyone is so dead set on graphics, the games look great to me. I don't need super realistic looking graphics because it's a escape from reality. But if you need to see every hair on someones ass I guess that's your thing.
Yes of course, how lazy of Valve, this isn't true of LOADS OF OTHER GAMES COMPANIES -_- Valve brings out more original games than a lot of people.Krylock said:When was the last time Valve [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meanwhile.jpg] announced a completely new series?

Nevermind, I don't think he really has a substantial argument, seeing as he probably hasn't actually PLAYED any Valve games for the last few years.Krylock said:and get their engineers to make something that doesn't have Gamecube graphics.
They published the 360 version as they did with Orange Box. Lot of good that did for Orange Box players on 360.Firetaffer said:I'm unsure on this one but didn't EA have some part in the Left 4 Dead games?Snotnarok said:You realize...valve is independent right?

He did what?! but? How!? and Why?!? and... What??...... WHAT MADNESS HAS CLAIMED GABE!!Krylock said:Actually I think they were done with Ep. 3 a long time ago, Gabe just ate it.
when was the last time any company released something new. early 90s?Krylock said:When was the last time Valve [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meanwhile.jpg] announced a completely new series? L4D...how long ago was it?
Yeah, no shit this thread is about Valve. I'm just adding my two cents, and my two cents is that people shouldn't get hung up on their love affair with Valve, just because they stopped returning your calls and didn't even say thank you for the roses.czfjrod said:Try going to the Final Fantasy community and telling them that. To many gamers worldwide, Square Enix seems to be the only good company in the entire JRPG industry, and to the rest, they're the only company at all. But this thread is about Valve, and Extra Credits already explained that, so...captaincabbage said:lol there's plenty of other developers who are bringing out top grade games to keep you busy all the time, so getting hung up on one developer who has kinda lost the plot is a bit lame.
In my opinion, you can either go have a little sook about it, or stop being hung up on ONE developer and just carry on with life and play something else.
