How is Valve even organized now? The response to this whole thing on Steam seems very confused. Don't tell me they're still doing that stupid We Have No Hierarchy setup they talked about years ago. (And haven't made a game since they made a big deal about that, just sayin)

And that's why Half-life 3 will never be made. Unless it's some kind of weird knife sculpture smelling of weed.

Gynovore posted:From what I remember, when HL2 and Steam came out in '04, Valve made a million trillion dollars and could do no wrong. They embarked on some hippy-dippy "employee empowerment" thing where everyone was their own boss and employees worked on whatever struck their fancy, which was great except that nothing got done. I'm having trouble finding it, but there was an interview years ago with Gaben to the effect of "It's impossible to find enough people with the drive to make HL3 AND can talk literally everyone else into supporting them" with the interviewer adding his own written conclusion "... And because we have no hierarchy, no one can enforce discipline." A more recent article discussed a former valve employee talking about how things had turned into a high school cafeteria. With no structure everyone just forms cliques and things stall. They just don't seem to have the grit to force themselves to do it, or the structure to soldier through. Hierarchies and organizations exist for a reason, after all.

Klyith posted:Anything valve does is gonna gently caress over the legitimate livelihood of somebody. Only an incredible pollyanna would think a human review of all new games wouldn't crush some number of games with bad or mistaken judgements of quality. "You can't charge money for developers! That's classist gatekeeping!" And then everyone died in a deluge of raw sewage mixed with anime. Boy, I'm sure glad there were no barriers to entry.

I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall for how this response was formed by the "no one has any authority" utopia system. Like how does something that tepid get put out by a supposedly brilliant group of people?

Alas, you had the insane notion that they would in fact take an interest in something besides tf2 hats and Dota money and show some loving signs of life. We've all been there. Sadly that will never be. E: Actually now that I think about it, what the gently caress does Valve even do now? Not making games, obviously. But also not doing any kind of QA, or serious overhauls, or anything. What do they do all day? What goes on there? Quicksilver6 fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Jun 7, 2018 |

Discendo Vox posted:They're collecting 30 percent off the top of a huge fraction of the entire gaming market, and occasionally releasing tech or demos that effectively become the foundation of a generation of game designs. Great work if you can get it. I believe you when you talk about the tech and demos, but I'm really struggling to think of what the last big thing was from them... SteamVR? The Steam Controller? Steam Link? It's all kind of hazy to me after Portal 2... Is there like new system architecture or game engine tools they've been doing?

Just curious, can you defend yourself at all in Agony or is it yet another "You can't defend yourself because that's what Outlast did even though it makes no sense here" horror game?

Old Boot posted:It's Outlast, up until the point that, yes, you can possess a demon. I don't know how early on you can manage that, though (I get the sense you're locked out of that particular feature in the first hour or so?-- I didn't watch for that long, only for long enough to form an opinion, and we've seen more or less how that ended). Well that makes the game even more confusing to me - it's a power fantasy with no power but a lot of misogynistic overtones instead? Odd mix.

All I know is that Umberto Eco wrote The Name of the Rose that got made into a movie starring Jesuit Priest Sean Connery also there was a game inspired from that work called the Abbey of Crime available for free. Very much not a terrible game... though it uses dated game design elements like isometric perspective.

It's not on Steam, but I recently saw some kind of import at a somewhat distant arcade that might fit here. Apparently there's some kind of AKB48 House of the Dead esque lightgun game? At least it had the letters AKB48 pasted all over the cabinet. I can't read Japanese so I couldn't tell much besides the demo seeming to show the player characters were shooting zombified schoolgirls, whilst also being schoolgirls themselves, and I think it was supposed to be cute..? But it wasn't and just made me rather confused. Lightguns + Idols seems like an odd mix, to say the least.

I find Leisure Suit Larry being tall and recognizably human to be intensely disturbing, as is the notion that a fake Tinder app would not be used as a throw away joke to show what an idiot he is instead of a gameplay element.

It literally has George loving Costanza appear and do a goddamn Seinfeld routine. Not like a copy or parody, it’s just him. It’s been like 20 loving years, maybe the writers could have done some fresher material. QUICKSILVER’S GETTING UPSET. Bee Movie would have been a more timely reference.

It seems like there are much better sources of sliding puzzle games and .jpgs out there but what do I know I guess As everyone knows, sliding block puzzles are the horniest form of puzzle.
