Major Update Speculation Thread v12: Layoffs Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Drury;39586453]Max permabans testinglol. Valve fires SFM team working on the megaepic TF2 short we've been waiting for since forever. It's obvious.[/QUOTE] It is so oblivious. They are trying to make the French the guilty factor, which means they are going to set up a war against France!

[QUOTE=Damoman;39586489]It has got: 1. An incredible soundtrack. 2. A memorable story filled with Double Fine humour. 3. Varied gameplay mechanics. 4. Motherfucking Tim Curry voicing the villain. I bought this for $80 on the Xbox and don't regret it one bit. At $15 it is one of the greatest bargains on steam.[/QUOTE] Don't forget it has Lemmy Kilmister. [B]As [U]HIMSELF.[/U][/B]

[QUOTE=Manibogi;39586575]Didn't Jack Black voice the main character as well? And he also won a Spike award [/quote] Jack Black took me a while to get used to as the hard and gritty protagonist, I'd always associated him with being a cuddly ball of fun. But there are celebrities everywhere. Ozzy Osbourne is the upgrade dealer for example.

i'm still not sure to buy brutal legends on pc i watched a whole lets play of it on youtube when it came out and i already know what happens but heck i think the promos aren't gonna be worth much at most like 4 keys and i highly doubt that unless the item is really epic like the double cross comn express even thou i love jackblack and ozzy.

I don't think there's much reason for you to play it anymore.

If I have enough money I may get it. Does anyone have any image of the promos? The hair must look neat on Sniper. Plus I would get the soundtrack version since it looks a way too cool.

[QUOTE=Damoman;39586489]It has got: 4. Motherfucking Tim Curry voicing the villain. [/QUOTE] Fucking sold. I was told that it has a mediocre second half because EA rushed them on it but Tim Curry as a character I can't pass up on. Seriously, one of the few times I've ever been to a musical it was him as King Arthur in Spamalot and he is basically amazing.

Is this the "Thing" people knew about?

Asked something from Mike Morasky here. And he said that: no worry, TF2 will continue as always.

Thank God they didn't fire him.

Mike Morasky? The guy who's responsible for the abomination that is the portal 2 soundtrack? I would fire him in a heart beat. The portal 1 soundtrack was amazing and he shit all over it with his madness.

The Portal 1 soundtrack was an exercise in ambient minimalism. Portal 2 had actual leitmotifs and melodies.

Will the promos be revealed today?

I sat on getting Brutal Legend, and got it used out of a bargain bin for about $4. I regretted not buying it for full price new. I'm glad I get this second chance, especially to tiptoe around EA.

Tickets for ComicCon 2013 go on sale Feb 16th @ 9AM PST In case you wanted to go get whatever promo they're doing this year. You had to have registered before the 12th to even be eligible.

After reading about the promos for Brutal Legend last night, I sorta wanna try the game out, it looks awesome. And who doesn't love Heavy hair? Speaking of promos, I had a dream that NECA made a Soldier, but he was pre-posed to look like he was either going to do a jig or Gangnam Style, I couldn't tell the quality was so iffy. And it had crappy promos too. A Genuine version of a hat that doesn't need that quality. Can't remember which hat it was.

they changed the day for the TF2 items for BL from today to... well, it never really mentions anymore

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;39587634]they changed the day for the TF2 items for BL from today to... well, it never really mentions anymore[/QUOTE] Considering how poorly the message was misspelt I'm surprised the message wasn't taken down quicker.

I dunno, a lot of you disagree, but personally I did prefer the Portal 1 ambience. It made you feel a lot more alone, then again Portal 2 was quite a different atmosphere. They both worked in how they were used.

I hope i can get that Tux item somehow. Be it through doing the unfathomable and...installing ubuntu... Or otherwise, i want a cute penguin, damnit.

Portal 2 was basically Cave Johnson and the Candy Factory.

Portal 2 couldn't be alone and creepy in the same way. We know we're alone (we didn't in Portal), we know the villain (we didn't in Portal). I found the Cave Johnson parts to be the loneliest parts of the game. Seeing office space not used in thousands of years, empty chairs, typed messages half typed, dead plants, scares me.

Mainly because you had GLaDOS with you the entire way. You may have been spelunking through ruins of old Aperture and hearing the ravings of Cave Johnson as his health slowly degraded, but you were getting some pretty solid character development for GLaDOS, who at that point had only been hostile, or at the very least lacked empathy, towards you.

It looks almost like a MvM canteen
