Did Kotaku have the right to publish that shit? Yeah. Do Ubisoft/Bethesda also have the right to blacklist them in response? Of course. This is similar to a politician blacklisting a TV network after participating in an interview that they found to be too tough or something. The politician is...

I thought about this, but with the refunds companies can literally see how much money they're losing out on. I can't put a number on how much they make from PC sales exactly, but imagine getting all that money and then seeing it all disappear. They know all that money is there and that they can...

I've always had trouble wrapping my head around the "male trapped in a female body" and vice versa idea, personally. If someone were to approach me and ask "What does it feel like, mentally, to be a man?" I would have absolutely no idea how to answer that question. So, when I hear the trans...

http://podcast.gameslice.com/1-gabe-newell-and-erik-johnson-from-valve I believe that's the interview he's referencing. Gabe pretty much states that unless a bunch of people at Valve want to make HL3, it's not going to happen due to all of the problems that happened with shipping Portal 2 or...

I have epilepsy and while it certainly has affected who I am, what I do, and kept me away from drugs and alcohol, I would support a cure 100%. While many people will argue that being gay cannot be compared to genetic disorders with adverse effects, if we are to assume it's genetic it would be by...

I'm not asking for anything; Half Life 3 isn't anything I'm losing sleep over and, as you said in your previous post, it's probably just taking forever because they want it to be as revolutionary as the others. I was just saying I don't see the point in riling up the fanbase by being extremely...

Still doesn't say whether or not anybody's working on the game (or plans to). It's also purposefully extremely cryptic. I do agree with your analysis of the Half Life series, but as I said, it's not hard to say "we plan on getting to the series when we feel like it." It is, however, a lot more...

Well, I don't have any intention of taking them to court, but I don't see how a scripted movie that's labelled as a tech demo to the public gets a free pass when it's Valve doing it. Recently Gearbox was found guilty of the same thing and all hell broke loose. The difference? Half Life 2 was a...

lol Whoops. Like I said, nobody can prove Valve's intentions. All I can say is that the tech demos they released to the public aren't indicative of the actual game and almost everything Gabe said in the PC Gamer interview turned out to be untrue. I guess "lie" is too strong of a word since it's...

Agree to disagree then; I find it dishonest. While I think you make an excellent point, showing superior AI and an exaggerated physic engine seems like more than just stuff that got cut from the final product. It seems to me, though myself nor anyone else can never prove it, like false...

I gave examples in a previous post but I'll summarize it. They basically exaggerated Half Life 2's engine and showed things in their tech demos that just weren't true. People tend to look past that (or forget it) just because Half Life 2 was a solid game anyway. They made the bold claim...

The product isn't delayed; it doesn't exist. They haven't made any mention to the public that I'm aware of that they're working on it or even plan to work on it. That said, terrible comparison. An author can hardly be compared to an entire corporation that's sole purpose is to develop and...

It's been so long and there are so many that I can't honestly tell you what the particular videos were, but I recall a few parts so maybe you'll know what I'm talking about. There was one trailer/demo where the guy was showing off the AI. One of the enemy AI was trying to find the player that...

Anybody remember Valve's false advertising with HL2? No? Go back and watch the old trailers. Last I played Half Life 2 there were no branching storylines or choices I could make to change the outcome of the game, I couldn't break the shit out of everything (except for what they wanted me to)...

I need feminism because...(insert personal insecurity/problem and blame other people for it)
