Seems that we'll have to wait a little longer for greatness. Not surprising, seeing how those three games all look pretty ambitious.




Or... maybe Them spilled soda on something? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Aww. :/ It seems that EP2 is going to take as long as most full-length games take to come out. Oh well. It's definitely going to be worth it. And now I can buy EP2, now that Steam takes PayPal. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    All I can say is: Thank God. I was having a hard enough time trying to come up with the money for GH2, and a Wii and some games without feeling the need to buy a new system so I can play Portal.

    The question: is Portal ready?

    Maybe <i>someone</i> can answer this...

    Since all three are going to be released in one package, the important question is: Are all three ready? The obvious answer is: No.

    Hardly upsets me - I won't be getting my new computer until Summer of next year so this gives me less time of being out of the loop.

    Yes. So it shouldn't surprise you. After HL2's second delay I started ignoring Valve release dates completely. I don't even know when Ep. 2 was supposed to be released, and I don't care. Someone will tell me when it's out, and since there's no need to plan in advance, it doesn't matter until then. I have Guild Wars to keep me amused until Ep. 2 is out, and I will probably have Guild Wars to amuse me after I've played through Ep. 2 and Portal.

    Why they would censor "j o y" is beyond me.

    Anyone who's surprised that Valve is delaying their games needs their head examined.

    It's got TF2 in it. That means it's <i>never</i> coming out.

    True, how long has TF2 been under development? Forever. When was it due for release? Years ago.

    Are italics the new bold? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

    You missed both the joke and the real word that was censored. GG.

    I guess if they dropped TF2 we could have EP2 and delicious, nutritious Portal. This is because TF2's release is coincident with <a href="http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time" target="_blank">Rapture</a>.
