[QUOTE=animephreak135;29306777]The idea behind this bashing is that this buyable content should have been part of what you paid for from the very beginning. I read an article not too long ago that quoted Gabe about the whole TF2 hat store, and how every item that you can buy can [i][b]also[/b][/i] be earned through gameplay.
This totally makes the TF2 store okay in my book. However, I haven't heard anything of the sort in regards to Portal 2. Until that gets cleared up, I'm going to stay neutral on the subject.[/QUOTE]
I'd see the point if it was a bunch of levels or something but it isn't. It's cosmetic shit. Who gives a fuck.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;29306792]what replay value does it have? its a fucking puzzle game it has almost none
for puzzle games quality = length[/QUOTE]
You forgot endless user made content.

replayability =/= quality
Plus there is co-op which increases the replayability.

The game isn't even released officially yet, who knows what they'll do to the game.
[QUOTE=plazzydan;29306763]Not really. Levels aren't useless cosmetic items. I would still feel that putting a price on them would be pretty pointless though.[/QUOTE]
If they're quality levels, I'll pay for them. So will many others.
i am going to buy every paid dlc for portal 2
every
paid
dlc
The hell is wrong with you guys. Extra animations are a waste of money and you don't want to buy them? Then don't. It's not like anyone is getting advantages because th3y l00k s0 much c000113r w1th theyr 1337 anemetons.
This is retarded.

I'm not going to buy any because they're useless cosmetic items, but I won't bitch and moan about it either because I really couldn't care less about whether or not I had a hat that I can't even see.

Apparently you can unlock the animations in-game anyways by playing through co-op campaign.
[QUOTE=plazzydan;29306857]They're pointless and they cost money.[/QUOTE]
And how is the triviality of these cosmetic items detrimental to the game's quality?
[QUOTE=humpalump;29306784]I hope they stop all future productions and fix this shit.
Seriously valve, we LOVED you, and you do this?![/QUOTE]
valve employee:Mr.Newell, we have confirmed reports that user humpalump of facepunch, is not happy with Portal 2!
Gabe:SHUT.DOWN.EVERYTHING.
I find it funny how everyone whines about stuff costing money in portal 2
but no one said "thanks" for some of tf2 hats that you have in your backpack transferring to your portal 2 bp for free
[QUOTE=plazzydan;29306857]They're pointless and they cost money.[/QUOTE]
If they're pointless, you're not gonna buy them anyway, so why complain about how it costs money?
so you can play with some of these "oh important" hats
[QUOTE=Hamsterjuice;29306871]no the animations are hindering my gaming experience, what if i want to give my buddy a high five and i can't?? experience ruined[/QUOTE]
amen man ive had countless coop games ruined by this i want a fuckin refund valve how dare they do this to me
[QUOTE=AMD 32;29306873]And how is the triviality of these cosmetic items detrimental to the game's quality?[/QUOTE]
Because they shouldn't cost money.
[QUOTE=Pavarotti;29306818]replayability =/= quality[/quote]
this game is short and has little replayability
it has low quality
I think this was pointed out on the first page, but it's funny how you defend valve for including a 5 euro cosmetic update, but bash activision when they release a 15 dollar map pack, which actually adds to the experience.
[QUOTE=plazzydan;29306889]Because they shouldn't cost money.[/QUOTE]
You may be opposed to the concept of paid DLC but do you really think this is making Portal 2 a worse game in any significant way?
[QUOTE=AMD 32;29306882]amen man ive had countless coop games ruined by this i want a fuckin refund valve how dare they do this to me[/QUOTE]
i stopped playing tf2 when the new weapons didn't have taunts, total immersion breaker

because theres a difference between a
mappack
and hats

Difference being that I'll take a 5 euro optional item anyday over a 15 euro map pack that you're pretty much forced to buy.

uh one adds something useful and the other is just shameless prostitution of the game?
dumbest thread of the year
[QUOTE=yawmwen;29306945]uh one adds something useful and the other is just shameless prostitution of the game?[/QUOTE]
If you're poor then not being able to buy hats doesn't affect your gameplay expereince.
Not being able to buy maps effectively lets people with more money than you get a better gaming experience, even though you both paid for the game originally.
[QUOTE=AMD 32;29306809]I'd see the point if it was a bunch of levels or something but it isn't. It's cosmetic shit. Who gives a fuck.[/QUOTE]
You're right, it doesn't have any bearing on gameplay. Regardless, Gabe has talked about how Valve wants to stick with the TF2 shop model where you can earn everything that's for sale. It's an admirable model in principle, and to see Valve shy away from that (once again, not sure if these gestures can be earned) model is a bit disappointing.
I hope we're all wrong and these gestures can actually be earned through normal play. That would settle this entire debate and calm all of the frantic bloggers/reviewers out there.

not really, no. you're not forced to buy any of them. and the cosmetic additions should be free, I can understand why the map packs cost money.
