This is going to be a hard won battle for either side. The polls open in just under 2 hours, so get out there and vote for your favourite developer. That is, if your favourite developer is BioWare. If it's Valve, then forget you saw this message and go about your day happily oblivious to any contest.  Thanks.

BioWare is going to have a hard time of this, after everything that went into getting Valve to takedown Zynga. If BioWare is going to have any hope of winning we're going to seriously have to get the word out.

It's certainly going to be tough, but the votes for Valve in the last round aren't going just to Valve in the final, they're going to be split between both developers. How it will break down is the real question...

[Abriael_CG]

Hopefully Chris will finally manage to persuade his bosses to put up some official advertisement. Steam did in the last round,and probably will again.

Hey! You were specifically told to forget about this thread and go about your day... sheesh...

I guess Valve fans just can't follow simple instructions...

They can afford doing stuff for anniversaries, given that they're so slow that they don't have that many anniversaries to mark to begin with :innocent:

[Orion91]

At least their anniversaries don't cost them a sizable fan base.

Valve didn't make portal.

Valve didn't make portal.

Who did then?

A group of students from DigiPen Institute of Technology, who had made a freeware games called Narbacular Drop (the same game, conceptually).

Valve picked them up and put their tiny demo-game into their Orange Box value pack as a test, and struck gold.

No Valve made it.

Portal is Valve's spiritual successor to the freeware game Narbacular Drop, the 2005 independent game released by students of the DigiPen Institute of Technology; the original Narbacular Drop team is now employed at Valve. Certain elements have been retained from Narbacular Drop, such as the system of identifying the two unique portal endpoints with the colors orange and blue. A key difference in the signature portal mechanic between the two games however is that Portal's "portal gun" cannot create a portal through an existing portal unlike in Narbacular Drop. Portal took approximately two years and four months to complete after the DigiPen team was brought into Valve, and no more than ten people were involved with its development.

They worked for valve during Portals development so it is a roduct of Valve Corp.

How does Valve even make it into this final? I mean really? What the hell have they done for anybody in the last decade plus? Basically lived off of Half Life for going on 15 years.



They haven't innovated or developed anything meaningful in years. Thier game engine is so out of date and obsolete it isn't even funny. I know they are popular, but L4D is a buggy, ugly, unbalanced mess of a game that doesn't deserve half the credit it gets, and TF 2 isn't doing anything that 20 other games do just as well or better.



I'd vote for Bioware no matter who they were up against, but this is a no brainer for me. But sadly Valve will probably continue earning wins for things they don't deserve just because of the mindless masses.

Right, so they're mindless because they don't share your opinion?

[Feraele]

I would say Good Luck EQUALLY to both Dev teams...they both deserve it.



Lets show some good sportsmanship here..worthy opponents are worthy opponents..



I'm voting Bioware.

  That's not what I meant at all.  Just that there is no redeeming quality other than repetitive violence in most of Valve's recent games, like L4D 1-2, TF2, and frankly it's a pretty mindless twitch game.  That's a lot of the fanbase of those games, and I own all 3 of those games, I've played them and based on most of the hundreds of players I played against and with, "Me do good?"  is pretty well spoken for many of them, and god forbid one should want to employ a strategy or any type of skill against them.  They will then anger quickly and threaten to kill you or do sexual things to your wife or mother. 

   And frankly that group has the numbers.  I think L4D 1 alone sold about as many copies as Dragon Age and Mass Effect 1 combined.  So that's the basis for my comment.  It has nothing to do with them agreeing with me or not. 

[Loerwyn]

Valve have to get my vote, sadly.

As much as I like BioWare games, I've had much more experience with Valve.

[DOYOURLABS]

I voted for Bioware 5 minutes ago. Looking at the bracket, Valve had a lot of tough matches (ubisoft montreal, Bethesda, Visceral) but I don't think the developers Valve faced had much in the way of an online community.

EDIT: I checked, and Ubisoft Montreal does have large forums. This is going to be a tough match.

Thundercats are go!



Er.. I mean, the polls are open...

[Feraele]

Valve @ 60%



Bioware @ 39% ...time to get your vote on..

[Symbolz]

Cast my vote. Valve has already doomed themselves! They promised cake...and the cake is a lie!
