yes we love valve for half life, steam and portal and the gaming industry would be different with out them...BUT WHERE THE HELL IS HALF LIFE 2 EP3!!
Actually they have announced portal 2 a long time ago, its just that they now have a proper answer to the release date.Krylock said:When was the last time Valve [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meanwhile.jpg] announced a completely new series? L4D...how long ago was it?
Now they just announced Portal 2...or should I say Portal: More of the Same."
Left 4 dead is 2 years old. That's 'not a new game in forever'? 2 years? Portal is 3 years old, as is team fortress 2 and episode 2.Krylock said:When was the last time Valve [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meanwhile.jpg] announced a completely new series? L4D...how long ago was it?

I mean, at least they could have it on a new engine, but NO!
They have used the same engine for an entire decade.
WOW!
Not to mention they have completely forgotten their best franchise! Hey guys! Remember Dr. Freeman! You know, the whole of Earth and stuff!
There should have been no "episodes" in the first place for HL2, and they should have all come out in the same year considering around five minutes were put into each section.
They are the perfect example of a lazy company, stop using the nasty Source engine, and get their engineers to make something that doesn't have Gamecube graphics.
I give up. I can't be pacified with TF2 updates forever. If Valve doesn't announce Episode 3, or HL3 running on a new engine soon I'm just done with them as a developer.
Actually I think they were done with Ep. 3 a long time ago, Gabe just ate it.
What do you think about the company?
You could say the samle about the recent CoD games. You could samy the same about HL2 and episodes.Krylock said:When was the last time Valve [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meanwhile.jpg] announced a completely new series? L4D...how long ago was it?

That's partly wrong. The source engine is modular, they upgrade parts of it as needed. Portal 2 will ahe better graphics than L4D2. L4D2 has better graphics than Episode 2, Episode 2 has better graphics than Half Life.Krylock said:I mean, at least they could have it on a new engine, but NO!

Valve is lazy. I do agree. However calling the source engine 'nasty' and describing it as having "gamecube graphics?" No way.Krylock said:Not to mention they have completely forgotten their best franchise! Hey guys! Remember Dr. Freeman! You know, the whole of Earth and stuff!

get their engineers
lol.engineers
If you want a coherent opinion on valve, you're in the wrong place. This is a PC-gamer heavy forum, and almost everyone seems to be a Valve (or Blizzard) fanboy.Krylock said:When was the last time Valve [http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/meanwhile.jpg] announced a completely new series?

episode 3 better be the best game in the world or it means they spent all their time they should have been working on it just jerking off to gmod insteadKrylock said:Not to mention they have completely forgotten their best franchise!
