btw fuck portal 2
fuck valve |
What why. |
fuck portal 2 because it's just going to be a straight rehash of the original, now with even more "wacky" characters. if they wanted to release an expansion with a bunch of new levels and no story, i'd be okay with that. but i honestly don't get the feeling they have any clever ideas for levels left. would love to be pleasantly surprised though!
and fuck valve in general for still caring about half-life 2 at all! or for ever caring about it really

i think co-op is something they could add in an expansion pack as well and just not bother with more new annoying story half-life 2 tie-ins whatever they're planning, and would prefer that. of course everyone loves cake jokes and annoying AIs and valve is gonna make bank on that, and i'm in a pretty big minority in hating glados, and that alone still turns me off the game. but i'll still end up playing co-op i'm sure.
can't wait to see how many jon coulton songs they include

| Whatever you think of their game design, accusing Valve of creative stagnation is breathtakingly myopic. I can't even begin to wrap my head around it. |
I think people accuse them of creative stagnation because they never really do anything new? |
this
the shit they're adding to portal 2 sounds pretty stupid, honestly. well, the paint thing seems like it could be okay as long as long as its used cleverly (getting the feeling it'll end up being busywork though, because i don't think valve are good game designers), but transporting air currents through portals sounds more like an annoying inconvenience than a gameplay mechanic.
more than anything though, it's the plot that kills any of my excitement for portal 2. maybe i'm alone in this boat, but glados annoyed the hell out of me after about 10 minutes. even if they do manage to avoid all the stupid memes, it's still going to be an annoying AI making embarrassing jokes while i try to convince myself i'm having fun. and if i mute the game i ruin this immersion that valve is supposedly so great at!
btw the only immersion i felt in half-life 2 was that i was probably as sick of it as gordon was. i think i only managed to play so long because extrabastardformula was reading a tim rogers review of some boring trains game out loud and it took my mind off of how bored i was. (i was somewhere in ravenholm when i got fed up and stopped, for the record.)
it's extremely hard to get immersed in a game when i'm consciously thinking "jeez this is boring/annoying," whether the world is totally seamless or not.
sidenote: didn't half-life 2 have a terrible stc? that's the only objective way to determine a game's quality
