portal 2 trolls

[Biosophilogical]

I'm entitled to be irate if I'd spent £30 (or more) on a game and then find that there's £28 more of stuff that I wasn't allowed. It's a slap in the face. Valve used to be the flagship developer for PC, now its image is well and truly sullied.

I hate you so much right now. In Australia I've seen new copies of Portal 2 going for like $90-100, and unless there has been some radical shift no-one noticed, I thought our dollar was going pretty strong in the international market.

In case you haven't guessed, I'm going to be doing a lot of exploring next week (I have a week holiday) to find a better price.

Steam has a much better price of about 50$, and I bought it for 45$ when it was still in pre-order.

Have not played the second one but the first one took me just over an hour to beat. I then spent about 2-3h messing around for achievements and the challenges. I doubt the second one will be much longer than that.

1 HOUR?
ON THE FIRST RUN?

What are you, some kind of robot?

And for most people, the SP campaign lasted about 7-8 hours.

 

[Doctor Steel]

Don't take my word for it, but apparently a large portion of the trolls are part of a group from 4chan just bombing the score for the hell of it.

.......


*Sigh*

Really?

REALLY?

If you knew ANYTHING about 4chan (Not referring to the lot of them, actually, just the Video game section) it would be that the majority of them love Gabe Newell, they love everything about the bastard, trashing his company would be the LAST thing they would do.


I mean good god you sound like Stanley woo, 91 bad reviews on a game doesnt mean that you can blame 4chan for it, it means you screwed up.

 

[Beryl77]

Steam tells me that I've played 3 hours now and I don't think that I've even played through half of the game, co-op not included. So far it's been one of the best games I've played in the last two years.
As for the day one DLC, it's unusual for Valve to do that and I don't really get why they did it besides the obvious money argument but since it's only cosmetic, I couldn't care less about that.

7-8 hours?

Dont mean to sound rude, but if you are a half-competent person, it should take you 4-5.

And thats still unacceptable.

Any single player campaign that is under 20 that ISINT for an fps is too short in my book.

Eh I didn't find it that hard. I was playing lot's of games at the time and was super persistent. I found the game pretty fun even though it was short and easy. Awesome concept.

I'm waiting on a sale to get the second one. I don't have as much time for games atm anyway.

Is it a major improvement over the first?

 

[Judgement101]

The issue with grammar and spelling almost made me have an instant reaction to hit the "Back" button. Also, why does the rating matter to you? Seriously, if you like the game then this isn't an issue.

Wow, rating complaining is like the new "Am I the only one" threads. By that I mean that people over use it and don't realise it pissed people off.

 

[Knight Templar]

Looking over some of the metacritic reviews many are clearly trolls. Others however could very well be people who just have a poor grasp how to express themselves or don't care to.

Looking at 4chan's /v/ they are trolling each other over Portal 2 and pirating the game, any claim made in the reviews is mirrored over there. Except the more reasonable complaints and figures.

 

[MinimanZombie]

I am suprised. That I haven't seen anyone make a comment saying that Valve is a troll with brains. Keep in mind this is day one. Could be a joke towards companys that do release day 1 DLC. Or it might be real DLC thats only cosmetic and pointless yet you can still get it if you want. Valve still released a good game IMO.

 

[Yopaz]

Funny how people substitute 'troll' for 'someone who doesn't think what I think'.

Actually I find it funny that the OP calls them trolls without having played the game himself. So he says that the 'trolls' are wrong without being able to judge it by himself. Thank you sir, I agree with you fully. Not everyone on the internet is a troll, someone does have different opinions than me.

Some ********************** *** ****er spoilt the ending for me on the forums before it realesed. Got banned though... Yay ! Justice. Anyone wanna play co op with me

Note my response in the DLC backlash thread. There's zero DLC available that adds actual content. So you must be a real fashionista (or however you spell that stupid term) in order to consider purely cosmetic items 50% of the game's content. Ridiculous.

Could you refresh my memory as to what this day 1 DLC is?
the only thing i've seen was the extra skin for buying the potato sack, surely thats not what everyone is on about?

Day 1 DLC is when on the day that a game is released, there is downloadable content for it which must be purchased separately. People generally get pissed because there's usually no reason that the content couldn't have been put on the disc in the first place. ESPECIALLY irritating in cases like Bioshock 2, where the DLC actually WAS on the game disc, and you have to purchase a code to unlock it.

theres nothing to talk about here THEIR JUST TROLLS the lowest form of life right above justin biber fans. they only do this stuff so they can get a reaction out of ya...i should know my friend is a troll who does that to me all the time

 

[Do4600]

You're angry...because...you didn't......get the............hats?! So is Team Fortress 2 a bad game because you don't get the hats?

 

[dohteM]

is not ripping people off in any way as it is entirely cosmetic.

You think charging someone up to 10% of the price of the full game for a single 'shop item' isn't a rip off? Forget whether it's voluntary or not, that isn't what defines if something's a shitty deal or not.

Would I pay for it? Hell no, it's a stupid price.

However, things are only worth as much as people will pay for them. If loads of people buy it, then clearly it is not too expensive. If people don't buy them because they feel they are too much then Valve will be forced to lower the price or lose out.

I could care less about DLC. Day 1 or day 50.

Couldn't care less. You couldn't care less. If you "could care less" then that means you care.

Trying to be a grammar Nazi here? You know, there's an achievement for that somewhere.

Hey, I'm not basing this on personal opinion here. I saw a picture of a thread on 4chan related to this. I know very well what 4chan's general opinion of Valve is, but it doesn't change the fact that in any group not everyone agrees with the general opinion.
