Using the 'quote' button would be nicer... Fine. So CS was the biggest thing to hit the multiplayer online thing since maybe Quake and is still going strong. HL revolutionised the FPS. Better? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1010 Joined: 27 Mar 2009 |
Agreed. My reason would be that Portal is a very unique game. Its original, funny, challenging and not to long. Its one of the best games I've ever played. |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 381 Joined: 23 Mar 2009    | I am torn to make the choice, but Portal without a doubt. Half Life 2 and TF2 were awesome in their own repsects, but Portal took the Cake. Pardon the pun, if you will. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 371 Joined: 22 Jun 2008   | Half-Life was a blast when it first came out. Not to say it HL2 was disappointing, but Half-Life felt better and more innovative at the time. |
On the Record  Posts: 5096 Joined: 3 Jan 2009   | Half Life 2, just because of how immersed in its world I got and how epic your journey is from the train station to the top of citadel. So many unforgettable moments... Meeting dog for the first time etc etc |
Muckraker  Posts: 322 Joined: 24 Jun 2009     | I think Portal was the best game to come from any company. |
On the Record  Posts: 5788 Joined: 9 Jul 2008     | Welcome to the Escapist OP. Anyway, I have to say HL2, because that's the closest thing here to Ep 2, which is certainly one of my favorite games of all time, not that the rest of HL2 is bad. But I love it because...well, I can't think of a single setpiece I dislike, plus it introduced the coolest enemies ever (with the possible exception of The Geth), Hunters. |

Believe me, I would definately advise against using it in these parts, some people's faces melt when they hear it. Welcome along by the way |
BANNED  Posts: 64 Joined: 9 Dec 2008     | Portal was one of the most boring games I've played. GLADoS was so annoying I played with the sound off and did my own voices. Maybe if all she said was, "DO THE PUZZLE, BITCH." then I would've enjoyed it. Best part of the game was when I hit exit and quit. Burning the companion cube came in a close second. Voting TF2, since it's the only game I've playing for 150 hours as Sniper alone. User was banned for: Poll: Which do you think was Valve's best game so far?. (Permanent) |
Paperboy  Posts: 22 Joined: 4 Jun 2009    | To be quite honest i chose TF2 as my choice but if i had a multiple choice i would have picked L4D, TF2 and Portal... but anyways its just meh... |
Beat Writer  Posts: 185 Joined: 24 Feb 2009 | Why isn't Half Life 1 an option?! Guess I'll have to vote "other". :/ Reason: None of the others compare to the gaming revolution that was Half Life. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 77 Joined: 5 Jun 2009  | Half-Life 2. Particularly Episode 2. I think that it might actually have been better than the original game. Portal was just over too soon for me. |

Paperboy  Posts: 22 Joined: 9 Jul 2009   | Ahhh i can't decide, Half life....Portal.....Team fortress 2.... *explodes* |
Muckraker  Posts: 246 Joined: 24 Sep 2008  | I'd say either HL2, or portal. And I beleive that anyone who honestly says L4D dosn't play many valve games. but thats just my opinion. Oh by the way, welcome to our Escapist. Keep it clean of trolls and other monsters. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 973 Joined: 23 Jul 2008     | HL2 was just an amazing game... Portal was good too, but too short... |

(NOW it works when I hit the quote button...) Left 4 Dead introduces new types of teamwork, AI intelligence, player guidence, and brought a new franchise to Valve. I'm just more into the FPS Multiplayer like Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2. User was put on probation for: Normandy Beach-esque moments in Games (Spoiler Warning). (3 days) |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 76 Joined: 30 Jun 2009   | Valve didn't make CS. And I have to say (based on the poll, because HL1 is awesome) HL2 because its the one I enjoy the most besides CS. Its got a great story and great characters (DOG FTW). awesome graphics and entertaining physics you actually can use. much fun. |
Muckraker Posts: 246 Joined: 24 Sep 2008 |
Umm yes they did. I like it more thatn TF2 or L4D but thats just me. yes, I do like L4D but its a bit of a love/hate relationshit. |

It was a mod originally. VAlve just acquired it. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 103 Joined: 21 Jun 2009   | All of them are great for different reasons but I'll have to go with Portal. It was hilarious,injoyable and unique. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3509 Joined: 20 Aug 2008     | My money's on Portal, because I've never been keen on Valve's gameplay elements (I suck horribly at shooters), but the writing in Portal is amazing. Welcome to the Escapist, Left4Meds (GREAT username, incidentally), and good call picking one of the forum's two favorite companies (Bethesda being the other one) as your post subject. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1182 Joined: 26 Mar 2009 | I'm hopping on the "wtf is Half-Life 1" bandwagon. Wtf is Half-Life 1? Seriously, that game is probably one of the best games I ever played, and I'm not even mentioning Valve yet. |

Stating your opinion is your right fine and well no one can fault you for that. but stating your opininon like a 15 year old boy who just discovered cuss words is another thing all together. In short dont be an ass. |

Ive seen the AI be quite thick at times. Not that they're really needed with Freemans Invins-o-suit and all. |

I was just wondering who thinks what game was the best they've enjoyed so far from Valve.
Personally I prefer Left 4 Dead, it eats up my time and never keeps me bored, with the exception of bad teammates.
EDIT: Half-Life 2 option also includes the episodic games.
FIX: Other was changed to Half-Life Classic.
