Very much agreed.  I might come across as a dick on this forum, not sure, but it's because some people just deserve to get told off.   I think message boards have kind of always been this way though.  Maybe it's a little worse now but I've always kind of felt this way.

I mean I'm here mostly because I'm bored (since my jaw is broke and my jaw is wired shut) and every once and a while there's some good discourse.  Otherwise it can be very frustrating.

Sorry to repost but I will just since the other thread fell into the abyss:

Check this out on Joystiq:

Left 4 Dead 2 will last 'much longer' as a platform



Left 4 Dead 2 ... already? It's a question that Valve's Chet Faliszek has undoubtedly been answering all day. Wary of the negative connotations that come with annual franchises, Faliszek gave us a candid explanation. Put simply, Valve wasn't entirely satisfied with the original game. "Left 4 Dead 1, like I said, had some of those fundamental things that we wanted to change about it, like the changes to the director, which took really long periods of time and a really long period of testing," he said. "And so, those changes fell in line with the long period of time it takes to create characters and everything else. That's why we're doing Left 4 Dead 2, right?"

A more refined game will also set the stage for a longer lifespan, with Faliszek having no qualms calling the EA-published Left 4 Dead 2 a platform, one that Valve sees "lasting for a much longer period of time" via updates and DLC. "We haven't decided anything yet, obviously, but we're looking at it and looking at Left 4 Dead 2 as being that platform to build on." There's a caveat, of course: "I would say definitely there's some stuff I think, like world-wise and location-wise, that we're saying, 'No, this isn't going to fit in this one, let's put this aside and maybe come back and revisit it.'"

Valve hopes to produce more incentive for revisiting Left 4 Dead 2, with a new gameplay mode -- in addition to the unrevealed one shipping with the game -- already being considered. "There's a lot of ideas that we can start playing around with. But we first need to get this first layer down and settle it." We'll be settling the score with the zombie menace on November 17th.




Sounds like they are calling a mulligan on L4D 1 and making it right with 2?  Sucks for people who bought 1 expecting the typical Valve support but they'll be doing it with 2 I guess.

" I'm pretty excited for this. Playing out the creation of Outer Heaven is going to amazing.

You realise that Metal Gear is all about sneaking around, right? "
What?  Obviously man but there's a lot more than slowly moving around in a crouch.  Have you played MGS?

This guy is officially retarded and I'm moving on.

Glad to see they got Ron in there to help and a lot of the old Monkey Island guys are involved.  Don't love the game's graphical style, what did you think of it in person?  Anyways, I'm very excited.  Good write up man.

If you haven't noticed I am not angry nor bitter. I am just having a good time watching your reactions the days preceding these conferences and now.

I mean, come on, it is funny! I told you so. You were setting yourselves up for disappointment. Why do you insist?

"Mr. Anderson. WHY!? Why do you persist?"I just got the Matrix Blu-ray collection. Yes, I am in a Matrix mood. Haha. Ah, Blu-ray... "
Who are you talking to when you say "you"?  I own a PS3 and have already played MGS4, I've played every MGS game, and I'm looking forward to the new game.... you are an idiot on top of a fanboy.  You must be angry or I don't know why you would post so many bitter, accusational threads against no one.  Maybe you should just swallow that Matrix Blu-ray collection and do everyone a favor.

(btw I bet you're that guy that really enjoys the second and third movies)

We do point everything out, you just ignore it like the fanboy you are and lmao at you saying anybody else is whining and bitching xD you are the biggest whiner and bitcher out of anybody here. All you do is bitch about not liking microsoft and whine about pretty much everything. "
Where are those arguments? I only see people calling me names. For example, on this thread. Where are you anybody else saying anything noteworthy? "
What people are you even talking to?  You make these accusations against fanboys, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?  You are the only fanboy here!

Everyone else is happy to be able to play this new MGS game on all platforms.  Nothing more.  Only idiots like you are angry and bitter about it.
