Opinion: Valve is overrated

3
After quietly sitting on my words for years and watching mediocre games receive rave reviews, I have to voice my opinion on this issue, even if it is unpopular. Valve, the company responsible for games such as Half-life, Left 4 Dead, and Team Fortress, is one of the most, if not the most, overrated company in video games today.

1 - I've said this for a long time now.
All they know how to do is first-person perspective games for the most part. Gabe Newell would rather develop for an outdated platform than actually learn how to develop for the PS3 as well. And they take like 8 years to release new games.

Disagree completely, Take it from someone who was actually gaming when Valve entered the gaming market. Half-Life innovated the FPS genre with intelligent level design and was one of the first FPS to use interactive events. Something that every FPS seems to use today.

Half-Life 2 continued to innovate the FPS with creative weaponry (gravity gun) and intelligent story telling that actually made you care what happened.

Valve deserves the praise it has in the video game world.

well played sir. I was right there with you in 1998 when Half life hit the scene. From the moment that the opening credits started I knew that These mysterious guys from Valve had created something that transcended Doom, Quake, and GoldenEye.
