Valve - OmegaZero_Alpha - Oct 19, 2009

Things that piss me off:

They never confirmed a trading system, but made people think they did.
The only teammates I actually CARED to meet were the medic and the pyro.
Left4Dead was terrible.
Left4Dead2 will be terrible.
Episode 3 would have sold better and been better than four sequential of Left4Deads put together.

things that amuse me about valve:

They have a sense of humor.
They like to troll their fanbase.
Gabe newell is morbidly obese.
They are letting Cryengine win.

Maybe someone should tell Valve that the Half-life Episodes are supposed to be released quickly, not the Left4deads.

l4d is awesome

play with friends AND versus

as for the episodes, i have no idea how you can be hyped without any media whatsoever, so I dont even think about it

Left 4 Dead is a great concept. Limited content and major bugs plagued the games first release. You could be bitter because of the quick sequel release (a lot of people are) but the game itself will improve. I think the sequel will be worth the money.

You can actually get a four pack of L4D2 if you have reliable people to reimburse you for the other three copies. The game, at that point, will only cost $33.75. That is the cheapest I have ever paid for a blockbuster new release.

I love Valve, they sell their games for cheap prices (They sold their games at a 55.8% discount this week). Also, the Steam program has allowed game developers to publish their materials at deep discounted rates. I have never bought PC games cheaper then today. I own more games and some that will probably never get played.

reddit has subreddits for buying in groups of 4 for L4D2 and Borderlands (same promotion going on for both) in case you dont have any real life friends to go halfies (foursies?) with (like me.)

I cant of course guarantee you wont get scammed, but Im doing the Borderlands one anyway.

Agreed Omega. I sincerely think that Valve should focus less on mediocre games such as Left 4 Dead and focus more on what they are best at making, Episode 3, a title that would make much more profit by targeting a wider more dedicated audience.

Necro'd 5 months later and still no word from valve on episode 3 :roll:
