Valve: "Let's screw our customers over once more!"

[Lumpy]

By forcing them to buy some Sam and Max shit if they want the new items.
Fuck.

Valve kicked my puppy and raped my sister and now I am VERY ANGRY ABOUT VALVE.

[Multi-headed Cow]

uh,they aren't forcing anything, and the items are just reskinned versions of the originals. they are 100% vanity.

Difference. Blizzard sells $25 vanity item, Valve sells $35 video game series not made or published by them on their service, apparently like game, makes deal with publisher/developer to make a few funny TF2 items most likely on the condition they're a preorder bonus for the game.

I know it's a joke thread but there really were people on the Steam TF2 forums complaining how Valve 'sold out.' One guy likened it to Nintendo selling out by making the family/lame oriented Wii apparently betraying their edgier history... I guess he meant hardcore games like Donkey Kong and Duck Hunt.

The real tragedy is there are people who will buy the game just for the items and never play it -- maybe I can get one of said people to gift it to me.

Seeing that image reminded me of these cylinders of multicolored straws you could buy from way back when. I don't know what it was about them, but I loved them. Was it the aesthetic? The novelty of having a shit ton of straws? I have no idea, but seeing that image just made me a little happier.

Mostly banalshitboring. I think 104 and 204 were the only episodes that made me smile. A little.

Play Ace Attorney instead. Much better than anything LA and Sierra ever produced (except QfG, obv.)

 

[Darth Roxor]

I liked Telltale's Sam & Max, although what made me RAEG in the long run, was how they had to put the Soda Poppers in almost EVERY FUCKING EPISODE, while I just HATED them.

 

[Sceptic]

god damn episode 3 FFS

Keep waiting

 

[Tycn]

I'm not sure whether I'm mildly annoyed because they're screwing over the ignorant masses or because I'm jealous of how good they are at screwing over the ignorant masses.

By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.

TellTale are pretty cool about this.
I bought the new season from their homepage, which meant no TF2 items for me, but then they set this thing up so you can register the season on steam and get the items anyway: http://www.telltalegames.com/tf2hats

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

NOW TELLTALE IS HOLDING CONSUMERS DOWN AS VALVE RAVAGES ASSHOLES WITH MIGHTY HAT-TOPPED COCKS

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

"Hello! I'm Hugh Bliss!"

 

[I.C. Wiener]

My brother bought the game for the hats. Yes he's exactly the type of gullible, rich consumer whore who would do such a thing.

The game is actually pretty good. Easily the funniest games in recent memory. A hell of a lot funnier than season 1 at least, which I never finished out of apathy.

FUCKING EPISODE THREE, GABE NEWELL IS SUCH A FAT FUCK! When his pager goes off, people think it's a sound that a goddamned truck makes while it's backin' up

Seriously tho, how long can you wait for a fucking episodic content? It was supposed to be released on a regular basis.

 

[Konjad]

ep 3 and hl 3 plz. Btw i actually like valve, they did nothing to piss me off

 

[PlanHex]

It is kinda funny that this is a partnership between one of the only companies that have mastered the episodic format and one that absolutely failed the episodic format to bring you something completely unrelated.

Next telltale-valve mash-up should be TTG berating the shit out of Valve:
"Seriously guys, what the fuck. We've released 30 episodes in 4 years, and you guys only released 2. You suck."

 

[MetalCraze]

30 episodes in 4 years with each sucking hard (the result of making it on the knee ASAP) being a hour long
