ask CoD4 that. it had a 5 hour SP and is mostly played for its MP.
blizzard has sold its fair share of titles as well. im sure more than Valve has. with IP's like WoW and its expansions, Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, i mean seriously. you cannot tell me that Blizzard hasnt sold more games then Valve. two totally different genre developers...
its my GOTY. GTAIV and MGS4 were both overrated imo. couldnt finish GTA and MGS4 was fun, good stuff, but the ending completely ruined what i think the game couldve been. if the game ended the way i wanted it to, it would be my GOTY no doubt.
edit: and i bought FC2 and i can not get into the game. i have no idea why....it isnt grabbing my attention for more than 10 minutes at a time. as of right now the MP goodness that is L4D and TF2 takes up my gaming time. Fo3 im hoping...
Team Fortress 2 was a MP only title and it got the scores it deserved. Counter Strike is a MP only title and it got the scores it deserved. games are meant to be fun, which L4D is. free pass? laugh.
i found it pretty lame that the alliance got shamans and the horde got paladins back in the day. hundreds of the same type toon running around....annoying.
there is no save in this game.....
from the very beginning this game has been all about "co-op". even in the TV commercials states "bring friends". i had no expectations of a SP experience at all with this title. as many others did. i wouldn't even think about playing this game without a mate or 3 around.
crowbar shouldve been #1. any gamer who see's a crowbar out in the garage thinks of Gordon Freeman.
what do you know, another Valve game being held in high regard. #1 for me would be TF2. unique art direction, not another military setting MP FPS, and shows more character than any other MP out there. toons for the casual and the hardcore player.
if you have 4 of your buddies around playing 2 hours is perfect imo for all 4 of ya to game thru a movie. i have no idea why some are bashing the game for its length. if 1 movie took 4 hours id go insane. the pacing and length of the movies is perfect.
Valve changed the FPS genre forever when Half Life came out with the games compelling stoytelling and im excited to see how Valve implements the AI Director into a SP experience. even if ur a Valve fan or not, they deserve respect for what they have done so far in their history.
i am totally satisfyed with L4D. i finished Dear Air last night on Advanced with some mates and a stranger (who even without a mic was a great teammate) and the finale was fantastic. all i could say ...
stopped reading after "looks like a modified HL2". hysterical. so i guess UT3 is a modified version of Gears of War...etc. laugh.
mr. breakfast is correct. game play is way greater than graphics.
but i know the fanboys of this generation. tomorrow ill be shooting zombies at a giganitc awesome sweet kickass superior resolution....tomorrow you console fanboys will be arguing over 720p graphics. have fun! i know i will be!
sorry i totally forgot. nice catch Xi.
uh oh. another good score for L4D. bring on the "graphics suck", "its a mod turned game", "gabe's fat" comments.
another AAA title for Valve. too bad you ps3 guys cant enjoy it. you are gonna be missing out. <3 Valve.
Heavy Weapons Guy has something to tell you two.
love it :D
this gen of console fanboys have such a hard on for which console has better graphics its sickening. i guess SoTC or LoZ:OoT shouldnt ever be played again because the graphics arent "the best" anymore.
game play > graphics in every way shape and form. Valve has shown that time and time again.
i wasnt talking about CS. im talking about L4D. i know CS was a mod.
L4D was never a mod. it was an idea dreamed up by Micheal Booth of then Turtle Rock Studies, who did AI work for Condition Zero. he pitched the game idea to Valve, who from the beginning developed an R&D iteration of the game.
Valve wanted to hire Micheal, but he didnt want to move to Seattle. so Turtle Rock Studios became Valve South. it was never a mod.
@ 1.1
someone better tell Valve and Blizzard that. ::rolleyes::
PC Gaming = Ferrari
Console Gaming = Chevrolet
you want to game on the best, you pay for the best. you want to game on a proprietary system, you buy a console. and we have been hearing this "PC Gaming is Dying!" BS forever. PC gaming isnt going to die, ever.
