Valve vs. Team Ico

[QUOTE="lx_theo"][QUOTE="Kaze_no_Mirai"]Team ICO easily. Their games are good but nowhere near Valve's quality not to mention it takes them too damn long to release anything.Arach666

SotC is my favorite game of all time. Valve games are good, but generally vastly overrated.lx_theo

Portal 2 is by and large VALVe's best game this generation, and sorely crushes SOTC into the ground in practically all areas (besides the subjective ones).Zeviander

Besides the technical aspects (wich is unfair to compare being that one is from a past gen and the other is from the current one), arent all the other aspects subjective? Cause I've played both Portals and, besides the goofy humour, I didnt find it that good really. The empty scenarios and accessible puzzles grew up tiresome really. I dont have any memorable moment from portal games that will stuck with me for the rest of my life while I can still remember EVERY colossus from SotC like the palm of my hand... SotC is way more memorable experience then any portal (or any Valve game for the matter) for me thus its a better game for me. All, besides the technical aspects (that, as I said, its unfair to compare), its subjective really

Team ICO because they've made only two games in the past decade.

Well, better release great games over time then something half baked and or dissapointing.

They're different and great for different reasons. I will say that Team Ico tell far, far better stories for most of the part then Valve - despite them effectively defining how games are often told in videogames in over ten years.

You have to cut Valve some slack. They have the excuse of managing Steam which is a much bigger job than just making games.

I don't see how your statement makes sense given his answer.

[QUOTE="MBirdy88"] You climb up a bunch of friggin golems, whoa , it was amusing for about an hour, compared to what the Half-Life Franchise, the world renouned Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, Portal, Steam and now DoTA 2. Yea no..... glad im not in your "reality".Shrabsters

You shoot through aliens or hit'em with a crowbar, whoa, it was amusing for about 5 min.

You shoot portals to white walls, whoa, it was amusing for about 30 min.

You shoot other people online, whoa, it was amusing for a few hours.

See? I can simplify whole games with minimalistic aproach too

yes, Valve games have more replayability but that not automatically means they're better. I only beat SotC twice and its experience was more unique then any valve game I've ever played EVEN if Valve games lasted me longer. SotC is my fav game ever. Not even one valve game is on my top 25 of all time.
