Worst Valve game?

I didn't really like Team Fortress 2. I got it very shortly after release and it was still already too late to even try and get into it. It's the sort of game where, if you're not one of the first in, you're doomed to get beat down by everyone you come across and therefore get nowhere.
Maybe I'm just really bad at it, I don't know, but either way I'm not a big fan.

I could never really get into TF2. Going to get a lot of flak for this, but I could never really enjoy it.
SORRY!
SORRY!

are you people mad or something? Saying that Half-Life 2 is "poisonous" to the game industry is like saying that 1984 is bad. Half-life 1 & 2 are good, they have fairly good stories. perhaps you two should just go back to Halo
Half-life: blue shift isn't the worst, it's just bland
Sad to see people think Half Life 1 hasn't aged well. I still love it and sometimes play it as well as the expansions (which most people seem to hate but Opposing Force is my personal favorite in the Half Life series). And the HD model pack doesn't make it look as aged as the original.
I can't really think of a truly bad one, so I guess Episode 1. It was short, not varied and just felt like tacked on filler. Not to say it was bad, it was great fun, just weak sauce compared to the rest of Half Life 2.
Other mentions include:
Half Life: Source. Could have been amazing but was just a lazy port of the old game to the n ew engine only adding ragdoll physics.
Counter Strike: Source. A decent game that I love playing with bots but the player base are even twitchier than CoD players. Can't blame that on Valve so much, but still.

not a fan of valve at all and to me their worst is Team Fortress 2. No excuse for the lack of bots and I hate the aesthetic of it.
I would volunteer Half Life: Blue Shift, but I'm not sure if that counts as it was not a standalone Valve Game. Other than that, I will go with Alien Swarm - but hey, at least it was completely free.
The runner up would be.... hm. I don't really know. Valve haven't released too many games, in case you haven't noticed. I can't think of any horrible games that they've released recently.
Half Life 1 has not aged well at all, but you can't compare a game released way back in the mid to late 90's by today's standards. Few games really age well anyway.

I'd go with Ricochet, although on that basis I'm rather keen for Valve to remake it- if anyone can take Ricochet and turn it into something wonderful, it'd be Valve.
Hmm, this thread isn't too bad - not a lot of sycophancy. I haven't yet read anything to make me particularly angr-
Isaac Asimov found 1984 to be a "dreadfully boring" book. He's generally accepted as one of science fiction's greatest authors. What, to you, does that say about him? And by the way, what point were you trying to make anyway - 1984 is too good in your opinion to be considered bad by any sane person? Half-Life 2 is a *blarg* literary classic for the ages?
Also, you're about a year (at least) behind on the hate train. Everyone knows you say "Go back to CoD" now when you want to demean or insult those you consider beneath you, because of their taste in games. Duh.
OT: Erm... not played very many Valve games. Episode 1, maybe, for being entirely filler (the whole thing could have been avoided if the Vorts had just teleported you outside of the city, rather than to the base of the tower... though that still would have been a bad case of Deus Ex Machina).

Lol! i actually forgot about that pack xD but my point was that at least those were DLC to begin with im fine with games dlc being packaged together because as we all know not everyone likes buying dlc or they dont play said game online or cant get online points and find it much easier to get it from a store.dancinginfernal said:
Ultimately when L4D2 first came out and how it was advertised i still say L4D2 was valves worst and of course you have all the business with the censorship here in Aussie land and Germany (nothing a vpn cant bypass) *winkwink nudgenudge*
in terms of bang for your buck L4D2 left me disappointed and $60 poorer
L4D2 insulted more people than im sure Ricochet ever has/will witch is one of the reasons why i think thats valves worst game
