True story. Most of the members of this site are milking the orange box for all it's worth.brodie21 said:
That was close.
I actually flipped a coin to vote, I had no idea that 160 votes were going to decide it.

Arena Mode...and I meant in general. The most complicated (and admittedly fun) game-mode they have in that game is Payload, and no one wants to play it anymore. Then again, I suppose my point is moot since I like online FPS more along the lines of Battlefield 2142 and the like.Dr_Steve_Brule said:
Anyway. In the games I've played that Valve has either made or supported, every time I've had a problem like...crashes, General Protection Faults, graphical glitches in-game, balancing issues, in-game errors and level restrictions that shouldn't be there, and otherwise catering to their game-testers instead of the actual people paying for the game? They've done little to nothing about it, often-times ignoring it, and the few times I actually posted a thread to point out and identify a problem with a game of theirs, they've deleted the thread and warned me about 'insinuating Valve has not done anything about these problems'. Admittedly, my comments were getting a little harsher after the eighth thread I made, but it's understandable to get frustrated that the issues you and about twenty other threads are pointing out are getting ignored or 'we're working on it' for a fully fledged year or two, isn't it?
L4D2 was nothing more than a patch for L4D that we had to pay for, and they didn't even fix all the issues almost everyone was complaining about! Not to mention they promised a lot of neat features for L4D2, and didn't deliver on any save for maybe two or three, plus another few that were shown in minor bits. Valve has good game support, possibly the best around if the here-say is to be believed. But if this is the best around, then how on Earth are the other games still actually up and running? I'd probably be complaining about Bioware on this issue too, but ya know what? They actually resolved the issue that everyone had been complaining and posting about in the forums for Dragon Age. They actually did something about it. It took awhile, but they still did, and that's what matters. Valve has so far ignored their community's comments about bugs and errors on a whole, and actually most of the fixes that have come out were done by the community themselves! Valve just takes them and incorporates them into an official patch for said game.
Hey, it was a Win-Win for me! Congrats Valve, (Even though I didn't vote for you) you deserve it for beating Zynga anyway.
Knights of the Old Republic, you fool!RanD00M said:#1brodie21 said:ragon Age:Origins.
#2:........None that I know of it would seem.
So please in lighten me as to what other game you are referring to.
Baldur's Gate, you bigger fool!
Mass Effect.
Neverwinter Nights.
Sonic Adventure blahbedy blah (apparently, one of the very very few "good" Sonic 3D games).
Jade Empire.
The Witcher.
Shall I keep going?
EDIT: Whoops... You meant in the last year. >_<
Okay, Mass Effect 2.
abz? what the hell do you mean by abz new form of work out to kick the crap out of zanga?reg42 said:
meh, but I'm just amazed that valve was still alive after that zanga onslaught and in the end they were the ones to take the cake.Seriously though zenga fans, Valve is a better developer *in my opinion* you guys are going to have to get used to it and wake up and smell the as-I mean coffee!
I had a feeling this was going to be a close vote; I'm a little miffed that Bioware lost, but I'll be the first to admit that Valve is a worthy contender.
Better luck next year, I guess.

I'm another who voted for Bioware, but was still very happy to see Valve win. Congrats to both devs for a great year, and may you both have a stellar 2010.
