Best game valve has made this far?

Best game valve has made this far?

best in what?

The answer is Half-Life 2. Also,
inb4 Valve didn't make Portal/L4D
inb4 Orange Box is one game
inb4 that one video of the autistic kid REEEEEing about HL1.

Story, graphics, nostalgia, soundtrack, etc.

>this far?
"THUS far".

tf2

it literally defined the future of objective based multiplayer shooters

hl2/l4d1

heh

>thus far
You poor, delusional fool.

HL1

Yeah but did it really inspire any notable games? Half Life 2's influence brought Bioshock, Gears of War, Dishonored, and The Last of Us to name a few. Team Fortress 2, while absolutely excellent, has like Overwatch? Brink? I dunno.

They will never make another game. Steam and TF2 are already printing money, so why put any more effort?

Half Life 1

Some mod they are selling as their own.
Valve doesn't make games. When they did they made mediocre reddit fuel

Team Fortress 2, by far

Half Life > Team Fortress 2 > Counter Strike 1.6 Left 4 Dead 2 > Counter Strike: Source > Left 4 Dead > Team Fortress Classic > Portal 2 > Counter Strike: Global Offensive > Portal > Half Life 2 > Half Life: Opposing Force > Day of Defeat = Day of Defeat:Source > Half Life 2: Episode 2 > Half Life: Blue Shift > Half Life 2: Episode 1 > Ricochet > Half Life: Source

The waiting game

basicly this

>CS shit above anything

this but unironically

>they only made 3 games after reddit became popular

>cs:s above cs:go
truly the clearest sign of a nostalgiababby

How many of you here expect that if Ricochet comes out they'll try to push the e-sports bullshit on to it?

Far better community, far better custom maps, no cosmetic gambling shit, and no bloated esports scene.

best ≠ influential

>bloated esports scene
does not affect you
>cosmetic gambling shit
does not affect you
>far better custom maps
wrong
>better community
subjective

Jeff Kaplan, director of Overwatch, confirmed that they were definitely inspired by TF2.

Pretty notable game with a major esports scene.

Ricochet

>Half Life 2's influence brought Bioshock
system shock came out before hl2
>dishonored
thief/deus ex came out before hl2
>the last of us
film came out before the last of us

good post

>Overwatch
>major esports scene

majorly shit you mean

whats like to be delusional

Steam

I literally can't choose...

Hey please read the whole reply chain before replying. First post says the best game is TF2 with the rationale being, "it literally defined the future of objective based multiplayer shooters".

If you can't see Half Life 2 written all of BioShock then I dunno what to say. Dishonored too, less so, and yes I know it has one of the art directors from HL2.
>film came out before the last of us
xd

>film came out before the last of us

...

I wonder how good valve's next game will be.
