I feel like Valve is putting it all on developing core VR experiences, the devs who are actually serious about seeing the Technology Thrive straight up admit that they need to do something with the Tech.
It's strange, guys like Gabe and Carmack seem to honestly, 100% believe in VR as a future for the medium

That's the thing
If they release an actually big budgeted game all the normalfags would be fellating Valve even harder and boost Steams income even further.
It happened with every single Valve game released aside from arguably CSGO

What can they do? There's likely a portion of their customers that not only appreciate but demand that they add useless skinner's box shit like microtransactions and hats. The other side (us) ravenously hates that shit. But they have to appease at least one side, and our opponents are the ones who give them more money.

Is more more gimmicky hardware like their controller/VR headset/console? Don't care. I just honestly don't give a fuck about Valve as a developer any more, and I haven't in years. The most interesting things they could do are dredge up the corpses of either Portal or Half-Life but neither would ever be done well and Portal 2 had a very final conclusion anyway.

I would hope it was the final conclusion. It's a great note to end on, wrapped up pretty nicely, and and any further continuation would just be torturing the concept. Portal 2 was already pushing it, given how Portal 1 basically got run into the ground with the companion cube, the cake memes, and all the
>Science is whacky! xD
attitudes that became prevalent around that time (Big Bang Theory becoming a hit around that same time). The fact that Portal 2 turned out to be good is a miracle and I have to give props to the writers, but even they couldn't save it from the audience who agonizingly stretched every little joke and quote. While I can thoroughly believe they would revisit the series, I hope they leave it finished. It's a fine conclusion, and any more would just be trying to wring blood from a stone.

i would definitely see it as one of the "modes" to play this game could be VR, seeing how story heavy it is, mixed in with a little lower difficulty gameplay (because controlling things is different), would work fine and fit the tone of the game itself
VR definitely has a place, its just "VR games" are really demos that cant keep up with bigger budget experiences and a lot of indie games are so gameplay driven its very hard to figure out how to get it working and fit the game conceptually

Maybe they're out of touch with the average person's budget. Imagine them trying a VR headset for the first time: "That was fun, how much does it cost? $500? Okay, pretty reasonable." Hell, with all the tech of it, maybe what they're charging is very reasonable. But it's still far from pocket change for us.

I'm gonna try running Cyberpunk 2077 with VorpX when it comes out, but I doubt the game's gonna run well in it as I've only found like 3 games ever that are good experiences in VorpX, and even then they required an autistic amount of manual configuration to get shit just right.
Also I've played some stuff that just isn't as fun outside of VR like Rec Room and Payday 2, both of which have cross platform VR and PC play. But I do agree that devs should look at it more as an accessory to make games more fun to play, rather than a replacement for 2D gaming.

i'd consider it one of the most inaccurate pistols in gaming
>Revolver, Crossbow, and all explosives were better due to physics, AR2 is also better than Half Lifes SMG arguably losing only to OPFORs M60
i prefer hl1s revolver due its sound but i agree with the crossbow, the ar2 also sucks penis because of low ammo count which forces the player to be far too careful with ammo especially on hard mode where everything is a bullet sponge which ruins its purpose in my opinion. i'm neutral on explosives because while hl1 had gore, hl2 has physics and both have ups and downs
>Outside bosses it has about the same enemy variety.
oh boy, this is where you're wrong. not counting bosses:
hl1
>headcrabs, useless enemy
>zombies, useless enemy
>bullsquids, shoots projectile that forces movement
>houndeyes, forces players to walk in reverse or take damage
>alien slaves, forces player to take immediate cover or die
>alien grunts, forces player to dodge homing projectiles and shoot its weak points
>alien controller, forces player to use accurate weapons to take it down in mos situations it's encountered
>grunts
>shotgun grunt
>assassin, very fast enemy that is reminiscent of playing multiplayer
hl2
>headcrab, useless enemy
>fast headcrab, same but more annoying
>poison headcrab, useless because they are never in a position aside from (alongside the poison zombie) one part in the ep1 hospital, in a position to work together with other variants to kill the player
>antlion, decent enemy but visually boring
>zombie, useless because it walks at 0 mph
>fast zombie, useless because 5 damage per swipe
>poison zombie, read poison headcrab
>metrocop, very weak soldier
>soldier
>shotgun soldier
at face value enemy variety appears the same due to the same amount of non-boss enemies, however they do vastly different things and are also vastly different visually, they are much better for gameplay as they reward skillful movement and in some cases tactical play unlike hl2 enemies which are not only mostly the same thing (metrocop/soldier, headcrab/faster headcrab) but simply worse gameplay wise as they do not reward skillful gameplay as much
furthermore, all of the visually interesting aliens in hl2 are bosses like the strider and they're all the same exact fucking boss, shoot it with an rpg approximately 6-9 times until it dies

Certain WMR headsets are about the 200-300 dollar mark but people are understandably apprehensive about getting something with objectively inferior tracking and compatibility with games. Valve really needs to work on that SteamVR Skeletal bullshit and OpenXR needs to bridge that gap so that the VR industry has software side control profiles so everyone can run everything no matter what VR headset they decide to pick up, because right now unless you settle for vive you get cucked from certain experiences which sucks because vive wand trackpads are ass.

Honestly vr isn't as expensive now. I bought a Lenovo explorer recently for $150 and the resolution is pretty damn great at 1440p. Coming from Gear VR a few years before it's honestly refreshing af. Granted there aren't any really standout games besides le zombie shooters and le recreational games but the immersion is there. I do enjoy VRchat mining town gun battles, Pavlov, and Rec Room though as they are fairly engaging and I quickly lose a sense of time. I even got used to using analog sticks while seated but it took a few weeks of getting sick to reach this stage.

It's less about how expensive your headset is and more about how much your graphics card can supersample with OpenVR advanced settings to eliminate annoying low res blur with certain games that need it. You need a very high end PC to do that shit consistently.
I have a goyvidia 1080ti and it still struggles sometimes with supersampling at higher end stuff. That's what I meant by high hardware requirements, we need to get to the era where like, the next gen cards are commonplace in households before anyone except enthusiasts can have proper VR visuals, at least until we get foveated rendering via eye tracking.
If the industry can solve this problem, and OpenXR + SteamVR Skeletal Tracking can give VR games control compatibility across all platforms of VR, then we're golden grams. Until then, VR, while no longer in it's "infancy" (I've seen the snowball effect start already and I'm not worried about it's future as a platform) still has a ways to go. Not long, but still a ways. SDE, resolution, and industry control parity are the final obstacles.

I mean, I agree with the sentiment I currently have 3 Headsets for Dev work (Vive, PSVR, and a Dell WMR)
Right out, everything is fairly pricey just to run software (and with this fetish for RAAAAAYYY TRAAAACCCING) I'm not seeing the prices coming back down (though to be fair, all you really need to run VR reliably is a rig with 8 gigs and a GTX 1060) then again though, I don't know enough about the new cards to guess the overhead and the future prices, but reason dictates that in the next year or so, the hardware for both the rigs and VR are going to come down;
I mean hell, I think those two things are the BIGGEST hurdle to the tech, I like my vive, but setup is a hassle, I like how comfortable the PSVR, but the resolution is meh (OLED is pretty neat though) but the Dell WMR (and the WMR platform in general) I see making the largest strides, all the tracking is in-visor, the wands now have haptic feedback due to recent software updates, and the OpenVR platform has made all current VR games practically 1 to 1 compatibility wise (I can literally play everything on my SteamVR list in it) and best of all, it was the cheapest headset I bought, around 200 bucks.
I see the potential and I really hope it pulls through, I enjoy it, and it's not dying as quickly as most fads did (Like 3d monitors falling off the face of the earth within months) it lingering seems to imply it's here to stay until all the variables align.

WMR does seem to be innovating a lot and doing the best price to performance ratio, but I always worry about the whole "Thing can only track from the front" thing.
On top of that, I don't want to use windows bullshit as a layer between me and steamVR, because at least on steamVR I know it has a future on linux https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamVR-for-Linux in case microshit wants to skeet and pajeet their OS even more than they already have.
I'm pretty much 70% satisfied with VR in it's current form and like where it's going because it reminds me a lot of when developers had to transition from 2D gaming to 3D gaming (I.E. like from Super Nintendo to Nintendo 64) and actual experimentation is happening with game mechanics, but to achieve that final 30% they have to lower SDE and increase resolution to the point that I can comfortably replace my actual PC monitors with Bigscreen Beta/Virtual Desktop (that in particular has the most significance to me as a VR app because instead of buying a $7,000 TV/Computer monitor I can just simulate one for under $1k), oculus needs to stop their walled garden bullshit, and we NEED industry parity on the controls so I can ditch the shitty vive wands with defective touchpads.

Portal 2 has inferior story and characters to the original, and the gameplay too is a mixed bag.
Story: it was made specifically by hollywood kikes to make big bucks, but they didn't understand the first game's appeal. It used to be a parody of the research process: they added fucking Disney characters and slapstick to appease nugeeks. If this place weren't all old Valve fans, it would use Wheatley as the chief example of a big bang theory reject.
Characters: turning Aperture into a circus of zany science has destroyed Glados as a character. It used to be a computer failing at interface with humans, now it's simply repeating the antics of a previous ebil corporation. Cave Johnson can be fun sometimes, but it's still like listening to cabaret in a completely mismatched setting.
Gameplay: lightbridges and funnels are good new testing elements, while gels don't belong at all. One gel in particular defeats the whole purpose of the game, because you immediately break any puzzle with white gel. And the game is short after all, presenting each for a handful levels and then moving on to the next: the best puzzles in Portal 2 were made by fans, Valve is considered a basic bitch at best.

Gaben isn't wrong exactly, Money does steer and establish communities, Modding started because Toolsets were created using development resources (and the game was buggy as shit, in the context of elder scrolls) though gabe was sorely mistaken in believing he can control an already steady flow of resources with a paywall dam.
but even then, modding tools could also be created freely from those outside of the original development team.
If you want to build a community and use money to steer it, it needs to be established with those rules in place, or there is going to be blowback. The current model, as is, is pretty good, where you can add mods (For free) or use the resources to make more content for a separate game entirely and sell it (as it's own entity) once middleware fees and licensing is paid, etc (like an actual dev team)

Yeah, I feel like he's currently trying his hand in other markets, and is in the stage of "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" and essentially sticking his dick in a hornet's nest was a very bad, bad move, but he heel turned on that quick.
Ideas like that are best served when creating new platforms or marketplaces, easier to adjust and account for things that way, but like I've said (and what many have pointed out) doing something like that to a community with already a decade of established rules and communities was a bad idea and (hopefully) he knows that shit now. (most likely not though)
Though it's not all bad (in the context of making new platforms and not tearing down old ones) is the quick adjustments or drop outs are clearly seen;
In the context of "Steam Machines" the idea was seen as shitty, and was promptly dropped as far as I can tell) but in the context of the adjustments, we're seeing that with the SteamVR platform (which is constantly being worked on) along with SteamOS and Streaming. Valve at a company seems to thrive at slower burns, and screw the pooch at faster changes.

The difference is they used to occasionally release a new game and Sierra owned some rights to Half Life, Valve is now buying companies regardless of how shitty they are they're still buying them and paying them to do work for them, it's an entirely different scenario even if it's the same practice.

That's the point, post Half Life 2 Valve lost anything of value. It's a shame too, Valve had some of the best people in the industry like Kelly Bailey and the voice actors for HL2 no matter how flawed the story seemed like nice people, I still can't pinpoint how Gabe allowed Valve to fuck up so badly. Seriously he never showed any form of greed in interviews, how could he Jew the entire gaming industry that badly without warning signs.

Oh yeah sure, let's take out the ability to play infected, revive mechanics, any enemy variant that isn't "move towards the player and attack", let's reduce the zombie shooter to the most basic level imaginable. And in its stead lets implement a fucking levelling system (because we got to give players the most vapid reason to keep playing), and a shitty shop system that just means a shit load of begging if a player doesn't survive a round.
But hey, your shitty opinion does fit with the rest of your stupid post.

Yes and no, you have to bear in mind that blizzard banks MASSIVELY on their audience that stuck around being Giga cucks that will be willing to make more than 2 accounts and still pay for a new copy of the game because the old one is banned.
While to a lesser degree it's possible with CS:GO/TF2 you have to bear in mind TF2 is free to play and CS:GO is only like $20 (On sale frequently and people can get it for like $5) so the value of banning players to get them to buy the game again is limited.
CS:GO has a ton of people that own it on different accounts for smurfing though.

The sole reason paid mods for Skyrim didn't work was simply that the free market for mods was well-established.
Don't get me wrong here: I'm not defending paid mods, and I'm not trying to play this shit off as if it were ever a good idea in the first place. However, you have to remember the mindset of the normalfag in a situation such as this. Skyrim had already been out for, what, five or six years already? It's been rereleased and remastered repeatedly over that time, and the open modding community was so large, with everything from bug fixes to extra quests to random bullshit to pornography; it was all out there, and it was all free.
Bethesda and Valve stepped in and magically decided it was time to make people pay for mods. This had numerous profound effects on the open modding community, which had only before been carried on the hard work of primarily altruistic autists who just wanted to spread the love though, there were the few random Patreon faggots, but outliers always exist. Adding the promise of profit into the mix brings the Jew out in people.
>some basic keystone mods required for many others are now behind a paywall
>some mods were stolen and put up for money, with the real mod creator left with little to no recourse
>many mod creators, mod users, and otherwise non-mod-using gamers were pissed off and rightfully so at Bethesda's greed and Valve's complicity
This new development suddenly threw a wrench in the machine of this once-friendly community that, generally speaking, had never before considered payment for their efforts. After that happened, many creators either greedily hid their creations away to protect their 'proprietary' code or sheltered their projects against thieves seeking to make a quick buck; all the teamwork that the community was built on was threatened in a heartbeat because a bunch of greedy executives thought they could cash in on other peoples' efforts without considering the ramifications or backlash.
If Bethesda wants to push paid mods, the best thing they could do is start it from the very beginning of a new video game that has modding enabled. People may not like it, and there will certainly be a massive number of people that will remind them of the greedy faggotry that nearly tore a community of well-meaning autists apart, but people will accept it anyway. There will be no prior mods to steal, nor will there be keystone mods that suddenly wind up behind paywalls. There will be a sufficient grace period for people to properly protect their projects from theft, if they decide to publish mods for free. There will be a mutual understanding among the greater modding community that teamwork is risky and someone could wind up profiting off of your work without you seeing a dime.
With all of this understanding, people will not necessarily like the decision to place mods behind a paywall, but preemptively placing mods for a new or unreleased game behind that paywall will have little to no ill effect on the community that effectively doesn't exist; newfags will end up accepting it as just… the next step in the evolution of gaming. After all, the cost of development is forever on the rise, and the executives at Bethesda need their second house and fourth car.

If they really wanted to thank modders they should have just introduced only donate button, and small percentage fee for Valve and Bethesda as 3% and 3% for each. And there would be a reason to use in steam donate function over an outside donate because you can't withdraw from steam wallet easily, which does put steam wallet in use when you don't have money in you wallet and in paypal and etc.
But with that they should also make that you can't place donate buttons to newly created mods and non public ones. so donate button don't act as backdoor withdraw option.

After Portal 2 I don't even want a new game. The game was less focused on good puzzles and more focused on "funny" writing and the story. They ruined GLaDOS' character,

Co-op has literally nothing to do with the story, really. Nor does it particularly have a story of its own. The robots just test and don't care about having to do it, Glados just gives them tests to complete, repeat forever.

Sentient robots have been established in the universe since Half-Life 2, they seem to display emotion.

That's correct, but at what point are they ever shown being unhappy with their time in the testing facility? Assuming this works off the rules of every other sapient AI produced in Aperture, their personalities are probably very limited, and limited only to co-operative testing/problem-solving since that's what they were built for. Much like how the turrets have a whole range of emotion, but the functional ones still only ever do their job and are fine with doing it.

its strange
they either go all gameplay and make something like Artifact
or go all story, cut every element besides some one-trick mechanic and make Portal 2
or they dont make anything worthwhile beyond 30min and make VR demos
they need to make a proper AAA game, this is all waste of time and energy and doesnt come together as complete experience

Hardly anyone besides hardcore fanbase care about updates to decade old titles, making them now is kind of waste of time unless you are willing to revamp huge part of it
Hell fuck the old properties make something new but it better be bigger cohesive experience, an actual fucking game worth playing

Portal 2 had far more mechanics than the first game and was actually better gameplay-wise and worse story-wise. A far better (and more relevant since its not 2011 anymore) example would be whatever fucking walking sim those Firewatch devs that Valve hired are working on.

I've had this conversation plenty of times now. It always becomes apparent people only think Portal 1 was harder because they:

There's a shitty webcomic that had something like that, the artist is an idiot so no surprise there.
Knowing where to place portals was never the challenge in portal games, I mean look at your pic, are you going to claim to have any harder a time knowing what to do in your portal 1 pic? It's through introducing additional mechanics that there can be any challenge since basic portaling is actually incredibly straightforward.

I dont think the criticism is about difficulty, its more about forcing the player to do things a certain way and thus limiting freedom and dumbing down everything.

I'm failing to see you point. How can you go wrong in Portal 1 that you cannot in Portal 2? There's the same instakill water, the same turrets. Is the idea that Portal 2's puzzles are easier? Again, I don't see it.

Puzzles are typically only supposed to have one solution. "You have to do it a certain way" being precisely the whole point of solving a puzzle. If there is an alternate solution then good puzzle design says it should be even harder to find than the intended solution.
I'd say people felt there was freedom in how to solve Portal 1's puzzles because they were never that hard to begin with.
