Yeah, scratch that off the List of Reasons to Hate Valve. Although some on the Steam forums have decided that it means that Valve prefers Macs and PS3s overThe_root_of_all_evil said:
There's a reason they're called the Steam forums, they're full of tears and hot air.Delusibeta said:
And yet they said they could deliver a TF2 update for two years. The only explanation I heard of was memory limits, and they explained they found a way to fix it. So, if someone could enlighten me, or if it was mentioned in this thread and I skipped over it, please enlighten me.TheNumber1Zero said:
Doesn't the fact that you're getting so worked up about it mean they are obviously going strong and you wish for them not to decline?
L4d2 IS a new game... it has to be when you consider the amount of suck in it. you see, L4D2 was made specifically for the twitchy, foaming at the mouth, run and gun Call of duty players that need fast action, lots of partical effects and a buggy game in order to play.godofallu said:
i mean, even the release schedule for L4D2 and CoD are the same, almost 1 year after its previous release.
i, for one, am glad that L4D2 isn't an expansion to L4D... don't taint my precious and perfect L4D experience with the broken buggy game that is L4D2!!
I do think about what it is that they could do next that would be successful. They have such different new ip's that with every release it's hard to think about what's next.They have new games so often they have half life, then team fortress, then portal, then then left 4 dead, theen the follow ups for all. So there is always the uncertainty.
if i took all the people that work or ever worked at valve, all their friends, relatives and neighbours and lined them up and bludgeoned them to death with a pool cue, would anyone really give a damn (from a gaming perspective)? no, you would just play something else
The only game I like from Valve is TF2. And all the Valve games I've played..I hated. They sucked and will continue to be crappy...At least to me.
What? What's wrong with Portal 2? Or perhaps more accurately why is Half life 2: Episode 3 more imaginative than Portal 2?
Don't worry, my friend. You're not alone.Ninjamedic said:
This man....has one hell of point here folks.The_root_of_all_evil said:
That's why I can't, in all honestly, see where anyone thinks Valve is "degrading" in quality. Let alone, I really can't fathom the whole, "They're not doing anything anymore!" mentality. They're completely redesigned Steam. They've ported a plethora of games to the Mac OS. They still update TF2. They're still making a DLC and, last I heard, graphic novel for L4D1. They finished a HUGE update to Counter-Strike: Source, they're currently developing Portal 2 for four, completely different systems. And, finally, they're still working on Ep3 in some form or other (and possibly another, undisclosed project).
Yeah, they're DEFINITELY sitting around on their asses milking the Left 4 Dead teet.
So...how about everyone shuts the hell up, go play something else (there ARE a lot of other games out there folks. try to find one), and wait patiently to bask in the glory that is Episode 3 and Portal 2.
....when they're finally released, that is.
Keep in mind too, that we're talking about a company comprised of a total of 250 employees. That includes ALL departments. That's fewer employees than some developers have in just their design staff.
