Orange Box petition reaches 2,000 signatures

The Orange Box petition, handled by Mike Seedon, has reached 2,000 signatures. Has the time finally come for Playstation3 gamers to be heard? We sure hope so.

[RecSpec]

It JUST broke 2000?

Seriously, they should have tied this to another petition. One that people cannot disagree with.

"Sign this petition for LOWER GAS PRICES (and to fix Orange Box)"

People that have no idea what the hell an Orange Box is would gladly sign it.

[Capt CHAOS]

Like the idea.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

EA won't do anything about until Mike Seedon, does heavy marketing for this. He needs to send news to sites and label it similar to "EA screwed customers, customers engraged" or "Angry gamers demand EA fix their product".

Once it hits sites like consumerism, and other news site EA will have no choice but to send an official response.... maybe even a fix.

He also needs more signatures, because 2000 signatures are too few and as times go by the less likely somebody will fix it. People need to start label EA as it is in the news, a company out taking customers money for subpar products. If it starts tarnishing their brand name they will listen.

[permutated]

You aren't doing a damn thing.

[pwnsause]

instead of petitioning, why not suing? that will make them react rather quick.

[cp68]

Suing for what? Unsatisfaction? That would never work..

[pwnsause]

hey it works.

[LastDance]

Duno man..youd be suprised what works in the world of "suing" haha.

[RecSpec]

Yeah, that would work until EA opens their Pandora's Box of lawyers and countersues.

[jessupj]

It could work in the US anyway. I'm sure we've all heard crazy stories of idiots winning law suites.

[NO_PUDding]

EA wouldn't have countersues, for a group of people.

Thye paid money for a product, that clearly is not up to an accpetable standard. I think it's Valves fault. And it's a shame, ebcuase althoguh I think Half Life 2 was overrated, as is Team Fortress 2 (much prefer the originals) Portal is a superb game.

[TheHater]

What the point of the petition. EA is clearly not going to fix it, and neither is Valve. I feel sorry for all the people that want the problems to be fix on the ps3 version, but EA nor Valve is going to help them out. That why I didn't buy the Orange Box because I knew something like this was going to happen.
I really hope something happen that will force either EA or Valve to fix this game for the PS3

[ageoflight]

hey theHater, do not worry friend. A patch for PS3 gamers is coming. No release date has been announced, nor will it ever be. Remember my user name, ageoflight. Do not forget me, neither what i have just told you. This petition [along with the website] have been consulted by VALVE very recently. VALVE has listened to the petition, and is responding. They are working on the issues.
VALVE cares, or at least they started caring now.

[TheHater]

I don't have this game, but I feel sorry for the people that do, and can't get the patch.

[jessupj]

Even if they do get a patch, I prob won't get this game because I will not be supporting valve at all. If it's on second hand I definately might because I know I'll be missing out. But I hate valve now, and especially gabe. I wanna punch him in the face so bad.

[crimsonfox]

really care for this game.
this game is like whatever.
im actually a little sad i paid for this.

[clintos59]

Please stop being a lazy dev team and do your damn job instead of crying how hard it is to develope ps3 games. Bunch of whining turds, thank u and hope not to hear from u ever again, lol.

[LastDance]

I got a better idea ....dont buy the games instead;)

[THE_BATTLERAGER]

I'd like to see you develop a game for the PS3, until then, cut the devs some slack

[Jerkapotamus]

When the game came out. At this point, I really don't care. Is anyone going to actually drop MGS4 to play The Orange Box?

[ErcsYou]

remember last Gen?
There was no such thing as a patch and games had to actually work before they were released....

[Statix]

Bubbles. Working games = "last-gen," indeed.

[Rob4Vendetta]

you probably have the best argument in N4G in a couple of weeks...bubbles 2 u

[HateBoy]

"Oh my gaaaad, X game on Y console is already perfect at it's realease, doesn't need updates or anything, nothing to look forward to, it is what it is... that is soooo last-gen."

[PikkonX]

It's sad that people have to go through all this trouble to get a patch for something they spent $60 on. I'd say HL2 easily tops any other FPS game out there, but Valve isn't likely going to spend any time fixing the game. The PC version had a stuttering issue that didn't get fixed for a long time (if ever, it's been a while since I played the PC version) so they probably won't even bother with the PS3 version.

[DanB91]

Valve even said that they would have no hand in this. They said it is all EA's job, even though they created the damn game. I guess they really don't care about quality control.

Valve might make the best games known to man, but as a company they are really lazy a-holes.

[user858621]

this game is a joke and so are the bots that created it

[Mr Tretton]

I imagine the patch needed is for TF2?

I've never even tried to play it.

As for all that stuff about PS3's EP2 being Sooooo messed up, what a crock, it ran just fine on my system. Did they release a patch for that I didn't know about yet probably DL'd? Because EP2 on PS3 is just fine.

I'm glad I don't care about TF2, but feel bad for those that want to play it. Bottomline is this game did not sell well on the PS3 because of all the bad media attention. The Orange Box is worth the price without TF2 working...I love HL2. (since the PC game) Didn't care for Portal much either.

[Rock Bottom]

And yet no one cares.

[J@D]

I really hope Valve fix the Team Fortress 2 issue cuz I'm a fan of that game... actually is the only game on Orange Box that I'm playing with some of my pals especially for the humor that the game hold and also the great moments that occurs on the gameplay. IF Valve is really take a look over this site... PLEASE fix the PS3 issue and if it is possible add a clan support please ^__^

[Jok3r]

I think this petition is ridiculous! Thats why a REAL gamer have more than one console..Whenever a title is "worse" on PS3 or 360 I go for the "better" one..Thats why I have Orange Box for my Xbox 360 and thats why I have GTA4 for my PS3! I dont HAVE to sit on the internet and act like a bloody child whenever a conversion of a game is bad on one console...
Be a gamer not a hater!

[jessupj]

I think you're missing the entire point. This sort of thing is unacceptable in the gaming industry. Valve have lost a lot of respect from a lot of gamers and in turn a lot of money.

[Mr Tretton]

that post was insanely dumb joker.

[Aclay]

Maybe if Valve brought Left4Dead to the PS3, maybe PS3 owners would be satisfied, but Valve loves PC based development to death and loves Microsoft.

[1stKnighT]

2000? You need at least 100,000 signatures for any company to actually care.

[cp68]

You're mistaken. As i have said above, VALVE has looked into this petition very recently are are working on a PS3 patch, although no release will be announced. They'll release it as soon as it's ready.

[Timesplitter14]

anything less than 100 000 is almost nothing

[Pp p]

NO who wants to hear what they got to say

[FAQS]

Q: who are you? Are you some kind of asshole? Are you even human?
A:.........
Q: Really? everything you say is SO F#CKING STUPID AND IDIOTIC, I realy think that you have not brain at all...Your "friends" (I think that you even don't have frieds too) at least show they have a little primitive brain, characteristic of a brainwashed brain, but you, I really am surprise you can write!...What a dumbass!
A:.............

[CrazyOrange]

hes is retard ( i mean FAQS ) he got not friend no life on this site
he keep saying ps3 got billion of great games and bla bla bla , why dont you shut up and go play it instend if talking here all the day!

[t-0_ot-]

Er, I mean FAQS.. You're telling someone else to use their brain. Why don't you use your brain, and spell.. something right. Go use a dictionary, idiot.

[tatotiburon]

just buy a xbox 360 or the pc version

[andrewf91]

and waste more money on their products? I don't think so

[power of Green]

The anger towards the devs is more about punishing them due to the way the devs feel about PS3(future games being exclusive on the 360 was the last straw). #4 is slighty right about not being able to figure out why people are fanatical about this.

[DeathMaster]

Consolegamer-drama.
Rated PG-13.

[dabizo]

I enjoyed OrangeBox - Only MGS4 has surpassed it so far (for me)
The framerates dropped blah blah but the game was fantastic. The issues really lie with Team Fortress which sucks...and needs fixing for sure - someone needs to take ownership of this game and its problems. I just hope that if there is a HalfLife3 Valve wont leave out the PS3 or I am gonna have to get a better PC!!

[Ali_The_Brit]

lazy devs

[t-0_ot-]

Why's that? At least you get the game.. stop complaining. How bout you go buy a 360 and buy the superior version.. just like all the other multi platform games.

[reccodog]

Crapy Xbox live which I am getting for free on my far more superior ps3. You are the moron here my friend as you would be complaining just a bad if you got a game for you 360 and the ps3 version was better. So go stuff a 360 controller up your hole and shut up. You forget that the ps3 fanboys payed $60.00 for a crappy game that wasn't even finished were as you payed $60.00 for a full finished game you worthless piece of hardware.

[gk07]

im going to sign it you fools should help out if it was one of your halo 6 or some other shhyt your all be crying foul devs need to wake up i picked up lost planet for pc and havent played it because it keeps crashing and devs need to wake up and smell the the shht load of broken ass games they keep putting out . come together right now over orange box lol

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Cry me a river.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

:( boo hoo

[reccodog]

A picture of you when you found out that your 360 rrod'd and a video of T-0_to when he found out that he was adopted.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

^^^please refure to post above^^^

[reccodog]

Refer to the post thats name is Jason360.

[Voiceofreason]

I love how its unfair for a company to not want to waste time focusing on PS3 in their opinion. If it was the 360 or Wii though, hey no problem we understand.
