You know how people hate when someone says something on the lines of a "My game is better than your game"?

Well, I hate when people act like Valve can do no wrong.

I can sit here with a straight face and say I found Portal to be one of the most boring game I have played last year. I think the only Valve game I have found pure enjoyment out of is TF2. I have still yet to play L4D so I can't comment on that.

People can quote me and tell me how ignorant I am, or how Portal was soooo awesome, etc... but I could care less.

If he refuses to make games for PS3 that is his prerogative (sp?), he has every right to not like it. Just like many in here have every right to think Valve is an overrated developer.

Well spoken. Like Khuutra said, "Agreed in principle". Might I ask what you didn't like about Portal?

 

 

To be honest it was always hard for me to put my finger on it. I think puzzlers just are not my style. My brain doesn't like to do much thinking when I game.

I gave the game around 2 hours or so playtime, no idea how long it is but it just never "grabbed" me if you know what I mean.

Team Fortress 2 on the other hand grabbed me right away. Makes me wish I never sold Orange Box to help pay off Fable II.

Ah. Yea I can understand that. That's what I loved about Portal. A very very well executed puzzler in the first person view, with an excellent story & story telling to boot.

I also just realized this. If you have a PS3 and want to play Valve games, why not just buy them for PC? Fanboys constantly argue about 360/PC mutiplat-exclusivity and the point is often brought up that the games can be played on PC. Valve's Source Engine isn't too demanding so why don't PS3 only owners play it on PC? My 5 year old "rig" can still run their latest games (L4D) at 30+ FPS with pretty much everything set to max at 1650 x 1050 resolution.

I tend to play Valve's games on PC regardless of there being PS3 or 360 ports. The way the engine handles user inputs just feels perfect for KB + Mouse.

he will eat his own words regarding the PS3 being terminated or being a failure.

Preferably smothered in ranch and BBQ sauce with a side of onion rings, a double-thick milk shake and a seat at his local all you can eat Chinese buffet.

Yeah it's evil, but it's low-hanging fruit I can't resist picking ;)

 

This whole thread was a mess of fanboy's saying they were right and the other was wrong...but this, THIS was awesome!

 

Garçon, there's a fanboy in my soup.

Don't complain! At least they're chunky... Now go finish that fanboy!

@khuutra

he did talk "shit" about the PS3

however SONY is one of the most important companies in the industry

I hate the arrogant man....don't care if he created a great game

he has no right to be an arrogant bitch about it

TBH after seeing COd4 & COD5 sales on the PS3....HIS company NEEDS PS3 more than PS3 needs them

You hate the arrogant man (Newell) but not the arrogant company (Sony)?  Your hate is selective...interesting.

Your entitled to your own opinion, I wont argue that, but can't you see the humor in your own ability to forgive those you like while singling out those you dislike, for doing the EXACT same thing?

 

dude, everybody knows Nintendo is the most arrogant now. Sony used to be arrogant but its not anymore. you would be arrogant too if you are the only company who sold over 100 million consoles and win 2 gaming generations in the row.

 

 

i wonder how many replays am i gonna get from wii fanboys for saying nintendo is most arrogant?

Well Newell can say whatever he wants, I won't be missing his games LMAO. If you make a good game, be humble about it and the respect will come.

Asking a company to ditch a product they spent 3 bln on is beyond unreasonable...it's downright stupid!

EA are bringing Left 4 Dead to PS3 in June. Valve do not like developing games for PS3. EA brings ports of Valve games to PS3: The Orange Box and next it will be Left 4 Dead.

If Left 4 Dead doesn't even break even for EA, then maybe EA should stop with the multiplatform approach on games that come out WAY after the 360 version.  I believe it would be like trying to port MGS4 to the 360 NOW.  It is WAY too late in the cycle.  It would be also like Namco trying to port Beautiful Katimari to the PS3 also.  Sometimes, it is just too late. 

Let's see if L4D manages to break at least 200,000 copies.

Newell suggested this before they lost the entirety of the PS2's profit on the PS3, as I remember.

Honestly, I agree with you. It's pointless to bring L4D to ps3 now. plus, the EA port is almost guaranteed to suck. 360 can have it. Ps3 fans, get KILLZOWNED!!!

@ priteshmodi

I would do that but I am not sure if my Laptop could handle a game like L4D.

I have an HP Pavilion DV2000 with an NVidia GeForce 7150M card, nothing to brag about.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

first off, who cares what the valve guy said? who cares what hiphopgamer said? i feel that hhg is getting referenced way too often on these boards. not every personal blog/rumour site is worth linking to.

ps3 is surviving (perhaps on life support) without valve. even if valve's games were ported, it wouldn't make that much of an impact on the ps3's user base because it's would be multiplatform at that point. all this complaining sounds like sour grapes, tbh.

also, i've seen $20 million spent on development for killzone 2 used quite a few times. i'd like to see an official statement on that "fact". it really weakens your argument when throwing that "fact" into the faces of people who are raving about a game that they haven't played yet - because some of them have played the beta and at least there are professional reviews (take with however much salt is required) to back their claims of grandness.

i just recently got over fps motion-sickness so i haven't played any of valve's games other than left 4 dead - which i find fun but not revolutionary or goty material. i'm glad to hear that KZ 2 is stealing from TF class system because it always seemed like a really cool idea to me.

Just for reference: http://kotaku.com/gaming/sony/killzone-2-team-breaks-silence-217549.php

I'm not sure how reliable the source is but it seems to have been put out there "officially" by GG themselves.
