I think we should get the ability to play this guy in L4D3

Well.....that was different but also extremely stupid.

A decapitated zombie head shouldn't still be "working" so to speak.

That's the point Ruski.

That film from start to finish is over the top on purpose.

Well, first I would actually have to play through both of them
And THEN, I could die a happy man.

And yes I am excited, if I didn't make it clear enough already.

I know what your problems are, you're playing pc games on consoles.

I'm still pissed Valve hasn't released any TF2 updates for the Orange Box. C'mon, give the console players some love!

Only way they could do that without it costing them tons of money would be to charge for the updates, since Microsoft owns the distribution network and only the first update on live is free, the company has to pay for any more updates they want to release. Since Valve owns steam, the can release updates whenever they want and they don't have to pay a premium to a distributor.

They could do it like the Cerberus network.

Name it DLC and release it for 800 MS points (which i beleive they are doing anyway), but for christ's sake do something! I'm tired of hearing about all this awesome new stuff the classes have but not be able to use it.

Edit: Release the update for free but the DLC is required to use the content, means if you don't buy you can't use the guns but other people can.

by **Rotaretilbo** Mon Mar 08, 2010 9:33 pm

You realize they update TF2 like, twice a month, right? You want to pay $10 twice a month for updates? I think not.

by **Vigil** Tue Mar 09, 2010 4:55 am

I realised TF2 wasn't worth playing on the Orange box pretty soon after I got it, because of the amount of cheap glitches people used and the lack of updates.

TNine, if Left for dead 2, has taught us anything, it's that Valve is no longer in the buisness of making stellar games, they are now in the buisness of making vast quantities of money, so I think you should be more expectant of a TF3 rather then a TF2.1, as was the case with L4D1 (they promised free DLC, map packs new weapons, etc... did not deliver)

Valve fucking gave portal away for free for like 2 weeks.
And they release free updates for TF2 very frequently, they occationally release free weekends for it aswell, and they have halved the previous price for TF2 down to 10 dollars American! I don't know the original price, but the price cut far surpasses what any other company would have done, and only like 2 years after release. That is fucking nice you ingrate! And they're are more generous than ever.
Had TF2 been made by any other game developer it would have been released way earlier, BUT way less well rounded and balanced, would still cost atleast $50 today, and they would release 2 shit DLC including only 3 maps each like 4 months after release, that would both cost $20.

If you want to think of Valve as being greedy, atleast take a second to compare them to other companies like EA and Activision and Microsoft.
And them Delaying Portal 2 just shows how important it is to them to get their products perfect for the consumers. Game developers like IW/Treyarch for example, would have just released it despite it being flawed and unfinished. Valve are no noobs, they know how when games are ready, and if the sense something wrong with one of their games, they dedicate themselves to fixing the problem (You could argue L4D is different, but I have explained it before and can't be bothered going through it again). Also Spending an extended amount of time on a game generally costs more money in the long run, Valve compromise their profit for your and all of the consumers satisfaction.

You should go die in a hole, now.

During the creation of all of the content for L4D, Valve realized something. L4D was a great game, and it was great because it was simple. Three core special infected, three core weapons, a few extra dashes of whatnot here and there. The game was solid. Adding new weapons, new special infected, etc would have screwed things up. I mean, play L4D2 on Versus for a few weeks and then go back and play L4D, and you'll realize that the Spitter, Charger, and Jockey could totally rape in the L4D campaigns because the maps were made without taking into consideration those three special infected. Likewise, L4D2 saw a sizeable makeover of the Source engine to allow for all of the creative changes made. L4D2 was beyond a stellar game, and to say anything contrary to that because Valve made us pay full price (and by full, I mean, half, because Valve doesn't charge $60 for its games like all other companies) for what is pretty much an entirely new game with entirely new mechanics and the same basic concept. The differences between L4D and L4D2 are probably more pronounced than the differences between Halo and Halo 3.

Now look what you've done, Ringleader. I'm agreeing with YouCurse. Your statements were so contrary to rational thought that the laws of physics warped and YouCurse made a post that is intelligent and well thought out! Next thing you know, lax will be in here to discuss the applications of quantum physics in Portal 2!

This game comes out two days before my birthday!!! I'm so excited!!! I heard they're not going to use the "cake is a lie" shmeal because they don't want to repeat it. Still...I'm excited for it to come
