E3 impressions: TF2 is the anti-scam

You know this one multiplayer FPS? It sold millions of copies, got rave reviews in the media, and is a sequel. And it’s about to be ruined forever.

And not by the Engineer update, either.

Article description is alittle misleading, but the whole article is music to me. TF2 is seriously what gaming's all about. Creativity, Innovation, Replayabililty, and just having a good time. And it's pretty cheap! I got in on the $5 deals and it's been fun ever since.

TF2 is by far the most fun FPS out there. Miles ahead of anything like MW2 or BC2.

Infact it gives user the control to do stuff Activision would charge a hell lot for.

I recently watched a modded TF2 game which was using L4d2 Map. As a zombie you could only melee while i saw engineers trying to hold and defend. It was really funny.

darkgunner5072d ago

Lol, misleading description but great article.

kesvalk5072d ago

yeah, even in brazil we support the game... and that mean a lot for a industry that suffers from heavy piracy here...

Chnswdchldrn5072d ago

for 10 dollars I got

a game whose community is one of the best for any videogame

constant support from the developers in the form of updates, new weapons, and new asthetics for your character

free maps included in such updates

an unlimited amount of user created skins, mods, and maps, possible due to the developers support for modding in the game

achievments and leaderboard

dedicated servers (although there exists modders and hackers and exploiters, the aforementioned developer updates usually do away with them, otherwise, a handy admin kicks or bans players from servers)

there is another game out there with no mod support, poor developer support, and a community of mainly foul-mouthed kids, constant glitches and exploits and hackers. if you want to purchase this game along with the new maps (which the only way to get is to purchase them from the developer) your lookin at droppin about 90 bucks. and eventually a subscription fee.

tl;dr

tf2 for 10$>>>>>>> ;>>>>mw2 for 90$+

Microsoft's Absurd Antics Have Me Scared For Dishonored And Arkane Lyon's Future

With Arkane Austin no more and Lyon living for who knows how long, the superb Dishonored is in serious danger; Microsoft cannot be trusted.

Relientk774h ago

I love the Dishonored series so much and really want Dishonored 3. Microsoft better not screw this up.

JEECE1h ago

I mean, I think the fans will probably kill Arkane Lyon by cooking up reasons to hate whatever they do next without playing it. I've never seen a game so artificially disliked as Deathloop.

thesoftware73047m ago

Lol, why don't we just say, we are worried about all studios owned by MS now. They will keep closing studios until they have none left ...🙄

Bogus!
Why would Sony do that and how would this benefit them?
1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event.
2) Risk of not having great coverage or proper coverage from the various source
3) It could give the impression that they are not confident in their own stuff.
4) They would miss the chance to hype the event losing viewers and losing free marketing time.

Again I'm calling it bogus unless it's a small showcase before the big one or because they want to announce that Hellbalde 2 is also coming on PS5.

SlothLordPootus2h ago

As far as I can remember, they typically give a week heads up for these sorts of things.

Lightning772h ago

I was about to say Sony always gives a week in advance for their show.

VersusDMC1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Last year it was a weeks notice.

https://blog.playstation.co...

May 17th announcement for may 24th show.

VersusDMC1h ago

Nintendo always tweets that a direct is happening tomorrow but no one cares.

Sony gives a week or days of notice and we get anti sony type fake outrage like this.

But good luck trying trying to get some Sony hate going...

Petebloodyonion58m ago

You just mention it!
Sony gives a week in advance NOT just a couple of days.
So I fail to see what Sony's hate movement I'm trying to start when it's a basic business strategy to not piss off your partners (ask Sega).
And I doubt it's hate to ask how it would benefit Sony in doing so.

thesoftware73040m ago(Edited 40m ago)

@Versus
Huh? What?

Bro you really should relax, if what you read was some kinda negative against Sony.... seriously, is that what you got from the comments?

Bro, he was debunking the rumor, and gave perfectly good reasons why it would be unlikely, and your Nintendo Direct comparison is different, as this is supposed to be a BIG Sony showcase, not a surprise 20 min direct, and Sony 's pattern has been one week.

Slow down warmonger.

"1) It would piss off their media partners (IGN, Gamespot, Edge, etc.) since they would have to allocate resources fast to cover the event."

That is implying Sony is preventing them from doing their job properly therefore negatively affecting their business...but i guess that's a reach in your mind?

And it's not like they need that many resources to cover the stream. They just need 3 people to react to the stream live and make some easy articles made up mostly of summaries of Sony provided press releases. They would have enough time to "prepare" if it was announced with one days notice.

Petebloodyonion49m ago

Before I get tons of replies for Sony given a week in advance, my initial comments are related to the notion that the Show could happen this week as the title mentions.
Now to be fair the complete article mentions that Jeff said the Show could happen later in May giving time for Sony to give the normal 7-day notice.

Again not trying to start a negative thing here just thinking that it's bogus that Sony will have a show this week
