Valve vs. BioWare in The Escapist March Mayhem Final Round - Polidicks

[QUOTE=lockdown6;21225181]ITT valve fanboys[/QUOTE] Likeing somthing =/= fanboy. You can like two things but like the other thing more, shocking i know.

I like 'em both, a lot too. But If I were to vote for anyone of them it would be valve. Since they are NOT currently working [I]for[/I] EA (not 100% if Bioware do, but still).

I love how this is more exciting to me than the real march madness.

I'm voting for Valve because Portal 2 is coming out this year, and i imagine yet another revolution in PC gaming.

It's over valve won.

Valve already won [editline]02:30AM[/editline] Valve 50.3% (13147) BioWare 49.7% (12988) So close

If valve wins we'll get some kind of discount on steam, so let's do this! [editline]01:32AM[/editline] Derp :saddowns:

Woo, we'll get a discount.

[QUOTE=zombojoe;21225844]I don't see why Blizzard lost to Bioware either, the SC2 Beta is topnotch and Blizzard basically popularized MMORPGs, Hack n Slash, and RTS games... Now I ask you, what did Bioware do? You gotta remember, this is a developer showdown, its not all about the games you liked, its about who is the most awesome developer. Valve has Steam. I believe that alone is enough to guarantee their success.[/QUOTE] BioWare have managed to create one of the most popular modern games to date. Whether you like it or not there's no denying that Mass Effect was a HUGELY successful game and is shaping up to be a hugely successful series. It was the first and only game to date that I've played that was really an 'epic sci-fi' that focussed on what makes a science fiction story truly amazing. It's essentially the Star Wars of games, and we all know how much of an impact Star Wars had on the movie industry. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot what was done in Mass Effect in future had a heavy impact on the gaming industry.

Without Valve a large chunk of my life would be missing and I would feel incomplete and lonely. Either that or I would have gone out and partied and became a much better student and had a generally better life... But half life was fucking kickass so whatever

50% discount plz

Wow, could they have found two more overrated developer studios?

I cannot reach a consensus. Both companies make great games.

It's not about how your an idiot, it's about how your not clever.

I hope when valve wins have tf2 free for like a hour or hl2 free

OK stop posting if valve wins were getting discounts. they already won!

On one hand I like Valve, but I have alot of great memories with Neverwinter Nights... some great roleplay moments on there, and I'm not even a RP guy.

[QUOTE=Hufterkruk;21227034]Left 4 Dead?[/QUOTE] Are you joking? TF2 is much better.

50.3% off the new RailWorks DLC

Valve won vs zinga and we got mw2 free. lets hope we get something special. like a discount.

[QUOTE=TheSpy;21296668]Valve won vs zinga and we got mw2 free. lets hope we get something special. like a discount.[/QUOTE] valve isn't going to get you a discount because they won some dumb internet poll

[QUOTE=poryon2;21298874]valve isn't going to get you a discount because they won some dumb internet poll[/QUOTE] They did it before?

[QUOTE=poryon2;21298874]valve isn't going to get you a discount because they won some dumb internet poll[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.gamespot.com/greatest-video-game-hero/vote/index.html?battle_id=62[/url] That same week there was a discount on all Freeman games.

[QUOTE=poryon2;21298874]valve isn't going to get you a discount because they won some dumb internet poll[/QUOTE] Everything half-life was 59.4% off because of the best game hero competition of gamespot.

[QUOTE=Blackbird88;21265566]Are you joking? TF2 is much better.[/QUOTE] Where did he say Left4Dead was better than TF2? He just said it's a decent game. Learn2Read.

[QUOTE=radioactive;21221339]That's debatable. [editline]02:50AM[/editline] At least Valve may give us something special when they win. (Episode 3 info? I called it.)[/QUOTE] No, i thought that too in the Gamespot contest, and nothing. And how could Valve show Ep3 info if they don't even show any shit in E3?

Maybe if Valve wins they'll release the Passing.

Cool they won.

I didn't vote The choices :derp:

If I didn't have to sign up I would vote for Valve, has BioWare made a awesome Client that allows people to buy hundreds of games from one store, do they have crazy awesome sales that pretty much make me poor every holiday? Indeed Valve is awesome.
