Can they do anything right? Have their game developers muscles atrophied?

Why are they constantly sitting the bed now?
You didn’t play Alyx, did you?
Mid shit
It was good but not enough these guys haven't made a real game like that in fricking ages
alyx was good but it was very casual
>that's supposed to be a woman's hand
the hands look bad but this is also lowest or medium textures
the size is fine, it's just the weird rigging/wireframe bits that make it look bad
It's the most boring AAA game I've ever played. It's got even more tedious "downtime" than Uncharted 4. Who the frick thought it was a good idea to make the player methodically explore every single shelf and cupboard for bullets in-between fights? And then all those shitty hacking puzzles? This game might've actually KILLED VR, honestly.

Valve is basically an enginedev company now (and no, you can't use their engine). They don't need to make money selling games due to Steam's success so they basically spend their time tinkering with Source 2 and making neat shaders and stuff.
Valve are known scammers who commit false advertising and fraud and deserve to be formally prosecuted by the Federal Trade Commission.
Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
Let me make this clear; You may be a massive autist, but you're autist we need. Never stop doing what you're doing.
i love this autist like you wouldn't believe.
CROWNFALLLLL and NEON PRIMEEEEEE AKA third person dota
TRUST THE PLAN
I don’t want Neon Prime. I want Artifact.
In March 2018, Gabe Newell held a presentation on Artifact claiming there would be regular expansions, an eventual mobile release, and a $1 million tournament, all of which ultimately failed to materialize.
In August of that year, Gabe Newell repeated the claim of an Artifact tournament during the opening of The International: https://youtube.com/watch?v=X4xYOmUwad0
On March 30, 2020, Valve announced Artifact Beta 2.0, stating they planned for a closed beta (which happened), transitioning to an open beta and later full release (which didn’t).

On December 17, 2020, Valve stated they would allow users to invite friends to the Artifact 2.0 beta in January.

On March 4, 2021, Valve formally abandoned Artifact. No expansions, no mobile version, no million-dollar tournament, not even something as basic as allowing users to invite friends to the beta like they said they would.

This is completely consistent with how Valve has always operated. Valve is a data-driven organization, if they're not seeing the numbers then they don't hesitate to drop what they're working on and try something else. Yes, this can be really annoying if you were affected by something getting cancelled, but this is just how they've always been.
Valve's trajectory is interesting to me, it feels like over the years they became their own worst enemy. Because Valve does everything by the numbers and all their decision making is data-driven, it's lead to a company that cannot do anything bold anymore. Their approach can and has worked well in the past, but I think they've really hit a wall in how this can help them make great video games. All they can do is re-package the same games we've been playing for decades with some monetizations gimmicks thrown in. That's the state of "innovative" Valve game design these days, it's pretty pathetic. Of course, we can't ignore the fact that Valve also has no incentive to really try take huge risks anymore, so that doesn't help things either.
But it's kinda how it goes when a company blows up and becomes too big, risks have to be scaled down in favour of doing the boring shit that makes a lot of money. I do realize that they have taken risks with other things like the Steam Deck, it's genuinely a good thing what Valve has done for Linux gaming. If you told someone 10+ years ago what people can do these days they wouldn't believe you, and for that Valve deserves a lot of credit.
companies don't make games, human devs make
HLA is unironically one of the best games they've ever made and if you disagree you're fricking moronic
I disagree. Instead of making it they should have provided the promised post-release support to Artifact.
It's got one or two hours of fun in-between hours of tedium.
unironically
CSGO was garbage anyways. CSS and CS 1.6 is all you need.
Alyx is a tech demo for a piece of dying hardware that nobody cares about.
>VR shit didn't take off
doesn't matter, they're still constantly tinkering with SteamVR so they're obviously not doing it for financial reasons
It's Valvover.
Because it literally doesn't matter what they do, you're going to come up with some entirely arbitrary qualifier for why it doesn't count.
Like for example, 2023 having more content added to TF2 than any other year, and the summer update literally being the most shit ever added in a single update but it doesn't count because "Valve didn't make it" which has been a statement that's been moronic since the ORIGINAL pyro update, from 16 years ago.
Nevermind the dumb excuse that
>You can play community maps on community servers
Because they're all dead and have been for almost 10 years now
Tf2 was briefly playable because of the massive influx of players simply drowning out the bots, but that's no longer the case.
i won't lie and say the bots aren't a problem, that being said i usually just requeue and find a server that has more humans than bots
i still have a community server i go to once in a while
You can requeue like once or twice and get a normal game of TF2 as long as you aren't playing at dead ass hours in your region with the ping limit set to like 20
the community updates actively brought down the quality of the game
Literally the only case this was true was balance shit for youtubers/comp players which also coincided with them getting Valve to kill off all the organic user communities
>But what about the Vore pride skin nobody uses
Nobody cares and nobody uses them, who gives a shit
>newbie circlejerk thread
yawn, almost certainly all 10+ year> accounts too
Well Gabe is busy trying to become immortal
>CSGO replaced with a halfbaked remake
It's LITERALLY just a minor update, the game is exactly the same.
>deletes csgo from your library
>"it's just a smol update"
I'm a hat simulator, not a knife gambler, and I happen to know that's bullshit.
