Wow! $14.99... Not freaking bad at all! I'll definitely buy it for that, the beta is quite a lot of fun.

I wish we had more game companies like Valve. They make great games, release them when they are finished and they always listen to their fans.

Dojan1235095d ago

Did not know it was $15. Thought it would be more. For that price I am going to get it just to support them. I am in the closed beta and it is pretty polished. I do not expect a lot of issues when it goes live.

I like Valve, but this is one game series that has massive hit detection issues. I was in the beta on the PC, and it was ok, but it felt almost exactly the same a CS:GO, and there were already hackers with aim-bots.

Ducky5095d ago

CS 1.6 had some pretty good hitreg.

CS:S' hitboxes were in some kind of quantum superposition and were pretty wonky until Valve updated it to the newer engine version. Less wonky now, still not perfect.

Can't say anything about GO though. I'd figure with a game so competitive in nature, Valve'd be focused on getting hit detection right.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai969d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits969d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits969d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws969d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf969d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos969d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils968d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno969d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Players Spent Over $100 Million On CS:GO Cases Last Month, A New Record

About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.

‘Counter-Strike 2’ Release Date Nears As Devs Test Source 2

The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.

ZycoFox1168d ago

S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.

DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.

Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.

Richhard11166d ago

Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
