Valve: The Appreciation Post?
AngelsDontBurn | 3:03 AM on 06.25.2008 26 comments




I just felt like taking the time to say, I love you Valve. Of course, I don't love you as much as I love Destructoid. But, hey, it's pretty damn close.

Well.. Kinda.

It's so hard to love them sometimes and it's understandable, thanks to all of the push backs we've put up with frequently. But in the end, we all know it's absolutely worth it. On top of that how can you not admire the fact that they update their games regularly?



Team Fortress 2 has been updated on a semi-regular basis and it's cool as hell knowing they didn't have to do that in the first place. People would still be playing TF2 even if there were no class updates, so it's cool that they decided it would be a good idea. Plus, I don't know about you other TF2 fans but I'm definitely looking forward to every individual class update. I mean it's probably the closest thing to a mini Christmas that comes just in time, everytime.



I'm still counting down the days until Left 4 Dead. I don't think I've looked forward to a game this much since Team Fortress 2. Hell, I look forward to this game MORE than I did TF2. This looks like it WILL be the BEST zombie experience yet and I KNOW it will be which is why I want it more than Wilford Brimley wants his Liberty Medical testing supplies.



It's been awhile since I posted a blog, so I felt the need to post about SOMETHING and L4D is all that has been on my mind for awhile now. Scratch that, so has Castle Crashers and that needs to come out NAOW!

I wish I could go into some sort of a coma and come out of it early November. That would be amazing.

Either way, thanks for the dirty undies Valve. You've ruined plenty of them. I can only imagine how many more will be ruined as November comes closer.

I apologize if this hardly makes sense, or even comes off as rambling. I felt like penetrating the community blogs and I believe I did just that.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Valve gains no points from me for Gabe Newell’s hatred of the PS3.

Valve gets love from me too

They may take longer, but they deliver games that are not broken on release day, they create experiences not had in other games, they have an amazing bar of quality and they love gamers and hearing about what they have to say.

Definite respect to valve and all they have done for video games and the industry in general.

Valve is easily my favourite game developer. Half Life 2 series, Team Fortress 2, they knew genius when they saw it which led to Portal, and they invented Steam, which is the best game distribution system out there (if only because it has american prices for non-us countries, making it fair for all).

Yay Valve!

^ Except for the fact that they just up the US prices for Australia, sure it's all good.

I don´t love valve, not at all, in fact I hate them, as much as Blizzard. I hate both for being a bunch of broken promises bastards.
But I still love L4D, a lot.

I for one hope Valve stays on the PC gaming scene as much as possible. Its where I first fell in love with them with Half-life, and its where I'll always want them to be. Delivering quality PC games when so few do these days.

I used to love Valve... until I learned their release dates mean nothing. They are the worst at releasing on time and thats saying a lot.

@Dephect: You really think they're the worst? I always thought ID software was pretty bad. Oh and a certain company by the name of 3D Realms. :)

Valve treats their customers right, they know what a good product is and how to attain it, they have great business ethics, and they don't step down to the level of doing what's popular.

Also have you seen a Valve game where everyone is a bulked up meat head with no brains? Thanks.

angels I am shocked at you good sir, you know damn well it was id software that coined the release date 'when its done' ;p.

And yes *salute valve* without you, I would not have the wonderful satisfaction of seeing a body gib in tfc that had multiple skulls and spines.

@Dephect:

Take a look at Natsume

I'd love Valve a lot more if they didn't hate the PS3 and fail to support the few console games they release. There games are original and great, they just need to put them on the PS3

That's a terrible reason to not like them. The whole reason their games are so excellent is that they take the time to get them right. If they stuck to their release dates, I'm certain their games would be noticeably less perfect.
