Team Fortress 2: Class Warfare
Valve's goal with Half-Life 2: The Orange Box is to offer a great single-player title (Episode Two), a unique gameplay experience (Portal), and an awesome multiplayer game (Team Fortress 2). From our play date at Valve, it appears the legendary company will be able to deliver on all three aspects. While Episode Two is one sweet shooter and Portal is the next evolution in puzzle games, it's Team Fortress 2 that proved the most impressive.
Team Fortress 2 is a fast-paced class-based online shooter. Valve's challenge in reviving the long-dormant TF franchise was creating a great experience no matter which of the nine classes a player chose. Along with making each class visually different, Valve managed to infuse each class with its own personality. Each requires a different type of strategy; but all nine classes are useful. And, more importantly, each is fun to play.
The most disappointing and infamous video game endings even sour the overall thoughts of a game. Most of these titles represent some of the finest entries in their respective series, marred by an ending we can't quite forgive.
There is no game called Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2, but Rebirth had a great ending imo. Felt robbed by the ending at first, but the more I've seen it and during my 3rd playthrough, I started to understand and realize a lot more that make me appreciate the ending.
I was enjoying FFVII Remake, even though those whispers throughout the game were annoying. But the ending was so bad that I don't even want to play Rebirth. On top of that, from what I saw on reviews, the ending of Rebirth is even worse.
Also, I'm glad to see Zero Time Dilemma being recognized as the trainwreck it is. After the amazing two first games (especially the near perfect second one), the low quality of the trilogy end is baffling. The new characters are bad, the old characters don't feel like themselves, a surprise "alien technology" pops out of nowhere, the big twist was like "eh?", and it doesn't really finish the story nor explains the loose threads from the second game.
The Half-Life soundtrack (as well as Half-Life 2) is now available to play for free on a number of music streaming services.
Modders bring Titanfall level acrobatics to Half-Life’s humble gameplay
Apex Legends set a high bar in fps mobility. I think new games are now required to have some good mobility options.
I like the style of this game - But Im afraid that if it launches this fall it simply wont be able to compete with the plethora of other online-centric FPS games on the market. Specifically Halo 3 on the 360, and Killzone and SOCOM on PS3
The fact that its visually different to most of the FPS might be a good thing. As it will stand out from the crowd.
Huxley, Haze, UT3, Army of Two, COD4, Socom all look good but also all look similar.
Plus Valve seem to have managed somehow to eradicate bullet lag in CS:Source on the PC. If they can do the same with this on the 360 and PS3 it will be great.
I can't wait for this to finally come out. TF2 is really my reason for buying the orange box and HL2 and portal are just bonuses...sweet, sweet bonuses.
I will be playing TF2 over Halo3 guaranteed, it's just more of my type of online game! Bring on the Spies!!
