PSN to SEN: Time to rage quit? - DarkFeed
18 hours 20 mins ago
Neocrisis.com are sick and tired of Valve's treatment of the PS3 and the PS3 community, and they want something done about it. Go to the source to read what has got them so riled up.
Only a few days after Gearbox's Randy Pitchford made comments about how Valve's stubbornness about PS3 development is only an excuse, it seems like Valve's answer to my question of whether they would prove either Randy or HipHopGamer right seems to sadly be the former answer.
CVG recently conducted an interview with Left 4 Dead project lead Chet Faliszek, and he made a comment that no one should ever make in the game industry about ANY community of gamers. This was aimed at the PS3 gamers, insulting them yet again by saying, "In hooking up with your friends and the community aspects, I think the Xbox 360 is head and shoulders above the PS3. The 360 and PC are on par, right?", and that Left 4 Dead 2 will be exclusive for that reason alone.
Never mind the fact that the community in Uncharted 2 seems to disprove Chet right “cheir”, but it's also an amusing claim when you look at what the 360 community is made up of sometimes, and why Chet couldn't be any further from the truth, and should be fired for the comments. And this comes just when a Steam Community member just posted a petition in the hopes that Valve considers PS3 development.

Get over yourselves.
... or rage at Activision instead.
*char limit*
P.S: Not a snipe at homosexuals, they are just generally are more down to earth at times...aside the odd extremist
And no I don't only play Valve games on the PC...and how is it sad if I only did? Explain. If I really wanted to upgrade, I can just replace a part or two, I wouldn't have to buy a brand new rig. Then again, a new rig would last longer overall.
I played Valve games on my 17" Dell Inspiron 9700 for nearly four years. S'not hard. Couldn't have them on max video settings, but you can always pretend they're console-level graphics.
^Of course it can get support, there are a ton of Sonybots out there. And continuously attacking the PS3 fanbase? Are you basing that off of *bleep* over reactions to anything that's not Sony PRAISE like this blog, or actual quotes you can repeat back to me? I mean, WHAT is so insulting about:
"In hooking up with your friends and the community aspects, I think the Xbox 360 is head and shoulders above the PS3. The 360 and PC are on par, right?"
THAT is worth this guy freaking out? He hates Valve. He hates Microsoft. This was just the closest thing to a lunching pad he could find. I mean, a guy that says the following about that previous quote:
"because I'm sure you would be the type of asshole that would look at a Muslim and immediately think “terrorist”, or look at a gay person and immediately think that he would have some contagious disease."
Just *bleep*ing hates Valve and the people that work there because they dare not support the PS3. This guy is absolutely insane, and not in a cute way. He's legitimately crazy.
Storm, if you only played Valve games on PC you're restricting yourself by not playing some of the other great games on PC. Crysis is a hell of a good game and you'd be missing out on it, WoW is also a highly played game. Why would you penalize yourself by only playing Valve games?
I'm not penalizing myself for only playing Valve games, I have already stated that I play more on the PC than Valve games...but that isn't to say Valve games are bad...every single Valve title I've gotten my hands on have been terrific (from Half-Life, to TF, to L4D, and more). They don't know the meaning of a bad-quality title, heh. And they are arguably one of the best developers around, imo, with the source engine to make it friendly to those without super-computers, free and constant updates and support to their products, etc..
And Kave En, Dystopia isn't too far off the ball...it's rather common knowledge now that you aren't a fan of M$.
I don't like Microsoft, no. But that's not to say the 360 doesn't have good games.
But someone limiting themselves like that isn't foolish, it's what they prefer to do. If I like the shooter genre, what's wrong with just picking up on Valve? It's what you're interested in.
Seriously if Valve don't like the PS3 and don't want to develop games for it that doesn't make them rude or assholes it just means they prefer PC and XBOX to PS3. No ammount of pertisions will change how they feel. You'd think that they'd have learnt that after the Left for Dead 2 one.
That's like buying an Xbox 360 specifically for Halo. They might get a 360 and like Halo, but if you have nothing but Bungie titles in your collection, you've got a whole lot of 2 games for your 360 collection.
But yeah, my PC isn't only for playing games, I really just hit up L4D or Borderlands now. I'm just saying that it's up to that person to want to stick to a company's games because they like them. And it's different with Bungie and Valve...Valve has many different games, shooters at base, yes, but completely different. TF2 is nowhere near like L4D, Portal is nothing like Half-Life, so on and so forth. Well, Valve runs Steam, and they have hundreds of games to try from various companies, does that count? xD
With Valve, you already have some guarantee it's gonna be a pretty decent or great game, as opposed to a wild card like say... VD-Dev.
But regardless. I doubt anyone plays only Valve games, so this argument isn't going anywhere.
And you're all guilty of inspiring Adam Sandler.
