[QUOTE="Iantheone"]Not much of a games developer, but they have done so much for modern gaming: Valvecharizard1605

I'd have to strongly disagree, they are probably one of the worst since all they make is FPS (I wouldn't call Dota 2 an original idea from them) which is a saturated genre.

I do give them props for having the best DD service out there but that's about it.

I wouldn't call Portal an FPS though

I would, you're shooting a portal from a "portal gun" which if I'm not mistaken is a version from the gravity gun or w/e it's called in HLF2.

Well, I mean, people make a big deal out of Metroid Prime not being an FPS... If Portal is an FPS, then Metroid Prime definitely is (and you've got a whole lot of convincing to do in that case :P)

They may only make FPS but they have so much variety in that genre.

Left 4 Dead= The best co-op experience out

Half Life 2: Fantastic enviromental storytellng

Portal: Sent puzzlers into the space age, interesting and humourous writing

Team Fortress 2: In my opinion the best multiplayer FPS, great variety in classes, it has REAL character which is something quite rare for MP games, fantastic retro spy artstyle.

I don't see how sticking to a genre makes them the worse. If they continue to both innovate and create fantastic games why the fvck does it matter? Many directors stick to one genre of film but continue to push it foward and maybe take inspiration from other genres, much like Valve does.

See, I agree. Problem is, there's an equally valid case for Metroid Prime, at least, being a first person shooter as well, just a more exploration focused one.

How can anyone objectively claim Nintendo is among the 'worst video game companies' of the world? No one who knows anything about video games can make a statement like that, personal preferences aside.

It's pretty bad when people name sub genres that aren't even real sub genres. There are no FPP, FPA I can see being a sub genre of FPS, which can always still be labeled as a FPS.

Just like Skyrim is a RPG, but can be labeled as a WRPG as well.

Yes, there is at least one FPP, it's called Portal. Just because the genre isn't very well established, doesn't mean it is non existent.

out of those, Its probably a tie between Sony & Rockstar for me, why? Sony: for focusing on the gamer, and delivering high quality products in the process. Rockstar: for the insane amount of quality in every game they release.

To bad steam has it listed as an action adventure, so if you want it to be called a FP something it would be a FPA not a FPP you tool.

Really?

Name one developer that created as much successful gaming hardware as Nintendo, developed and published as many quality games as Nintendo, or has set as many standards in gaming as Nintendo. Even if you dislike the influence they have had, even if you never enjoyed a single Nintendo product, you can not deny the vast amount of influence, nor the vast amount of contributions Nintendo has made to this industry. Look at any console controller today and you'll see characteristics that were either popularized, or invented by Nintendo. Even if you're a big Playstation fan you are enjoying a brand that was born of a joint venture with Nintendo.

It would take writing a book to describe in detail all the contributions that Nintendo has had on this industry.

HA sure whatever helps you valve fanboys sleep at night, keep telling yourselves that valve gives people variety with their games when it's pretty much rehashed content. The only games they have made that aren't first person shooters or FPAA is the Day of Defeat games (Dota 2 doesn't count since it's not even their idea and is also being made by the original creators of Dota).

Portal is a generic puzzle game with a get to point A to point B game style with a puzzle room in between, sorry that's not innovated at all. Now if Portal had an open world with puzzles then it could be a winner in my book. Wheatley was the only amusing thing about Portal 2.

HLF2 ep 2 and L4D1 are probably their only games that are actually good.

There are a lot of companies that have published and developed more consistent quality and successful games than Nintendo and one of them is Activision which seems to still be doing well right now. Then for your hardware claim you have Atari. Which they also still published great quality games even now. What standards did Nintendo set? not saying they did not set any but when you put them in god tier context like you did you need to put them out there. Let's start there before we go any further. Also, I am not a playstation fan, that seems to be the damage control going around here since the Majormayor showed up. Not everybody who does not think they are the best are fans or sony fans in general. not to mention i never said they were the worst out there, major Mayor did but the tone in your posts implies you think I have the same reasons as him.

Even if you're a big Playstation fan you are enjoying a brand that was born of a joint venture with Nintendo.

It would take writing a book to describe in detail all the contributions that Nintendo has had on this industry.

There are a lot of companies that have published and developed more consistent quality and successful games than Nintendo and one of them is Activision which seems to still be doing well right now. Then for your hardware claim you have Atari. Which they also still published great quality games even now. What standards did Nintendo set? not saying they did not set any but when you put them in god tier context like you did you need to put them out there. Let's start there before we go any further. Also, I am not a playstation fan, that seems to be the damage control going around here since the Majormayor showed up. Not everybody who does not think they are the best are fans or sony fans in general. not to mention i never said they were the worst out there, major Mayor did but the tone in your posts implies you think I have the same reasons as him.

Nintendo Popularized console gaming. Yes Atari was first but did everyone have an atari? No did they all have NES or SNES's? No but they sure as hell were a lot more people with a nintedno console then there ever was with an atari

Really?

Name one developer that created as much successful gaming hardware as Nintendo, developed and published as many quality games as Nintendo, or has set as many standards in gaming as Nintendo. Even if you dislike the influence they have had, even if you never enjoyed a single Nintendo product, you can not deny the vast amount of influence, nor the vast amount of contributions Nintendo has made to this industry. Look at any console controller today and you'll see characteristics that were either popularized, or invented by Nintendo.

So Atari didn't popularize console gaming. That's why there were 45 companies making consoles better weaker, and all shapes and sizes because of the 2600, those did not exist now, ok. :roll:

To bad steam has it listed as an action adventure, so if you want it to be called a FP something it would be a FPA not a FPP you tool.

You're the only tool here accusing valve of being crappy sticking to one genre. They've given us so much variety within the first person perspective.

HA sure whatever helps you valve fanboys sleep at night, keep telling yourselves that valve gives people variety with their games when it's pretty much rehashed content. The only games they have made that aren't first person shooters or FPAA is the Day of Defeat games (Dota 2 doesn't count since it's not even their idea and is also being made by the original creators of Dota).

Portal is a generic puzzle game with a get to point A to point B game style with a puzzle room in between, sorry that's not innovated at all. Now if Portal had an open world with puzzles then it could be a winner in my book. Wheatley was the only amusing thing about Portal 2.

HLF2 ep 2 and L4D1 are probably their only games that are actually good.


You sound like a little kid when you say that making Portal Open world would make it good. I remember saying those things when I was 12. Oh yeah, and Day of Defeat is an FPS as well.

[QUOTE="Cheleman"]out of those, Its probably a tie between Sony & Rockstar for me, why? Sony: for focusing on the gamer, and delivering high quality products in the process. Rockstar: for the insane amount of quality in every game they release.

I think this is AtariKids alt. He acted EXACTLY the same way when he first signed up. Complete bullsh*t arguments and all.

**** argument? Yep, ignore that list above, and no, consoles were NEVER popular before nintendo, i have yet to see a gen with so many attempts to make a consoles with there own library of games since 2nd gen, but obviously those all must be invisible. Are you really this stupid?
