Gushing About Shows You Like (Sugar Wiki)/Video Games/Valve Corporation: Difference between revisions

** Oh man, this has got to be the best online FPS game ever made. I love the concepts of the teamwork and communication based gameplay it has on display as well as how they're executed. The teamwork comes from all of the separate little things that you don't always notice, but are still important to the game. Every class has it's strengths and weaknesses, as well as a goal they are meant to be working towards in the map. This means that you need to communicate with other players in order to have them cover your weaknesses and have you cover theirs. When 2 or more classes combine their strengths and cover each other's shortcomings, they can do some serious damage in the map, much more than either of them could have alone. Another factor that makes it my favorite game is that the game has probably the best sense of humor I've ever seen in a game. Everything about each character is funny, interesting, clever and unique. From their exaggerated visual designs to their ridiculous and purposely fake accents to their over the top and hilarious dialogue ([[Memetic Mutation|SPAH SAPPIN MAH SENTRY!!!]]). Just watch some of the Meet the videos Valve has released on the TF2 blog or listen to some of their domination dialogue on [[YouTube]]. If they don't at least get a chuckle out of you, you must not have a sense of humor. There's so much self consciousness and [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|4th wall breaking moments]] in the game that it's almost as if it's a parody of an FPS than an actual FPS. I love how the Sniper drives a "Camper Van", and how Scout tells someone that he just killed to ragequit, like the characters know that they're in a video game. The icing on the cake [insert bad ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' joke here] is the added fact that Valve still consistently updates and gives constant attention to the game! For FREE! after 2 YEARS! IN A CAVE, WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS! When anyone asks me why I like Valve so much, I point them to this game

** TF2 convinced me that not only online FPS, but also FPS in general, is fun.
