New TF2 Update

Yeah, I don't blame you. I stopped playing a long time ago. The updates kept getting more and more ridiculous.
 
um, do you even know what it did

Wow,lots of game changing things applied in this update :rolleyes:

there have been some updates to complain about, this is not one of them
 
The whole item drop thing and hats and all that other shit killed it for me. If they would have kept it like it was on release, added new maps, and fixed bugs it would be perfect.
 
Raging over earbuds? (virtual earbuds at that)

People on the Steam forum would find something to bitch about if Valve sent everyone like $2500 for nothing, just because they felt like it

I'm raging over the interface that looks like it was made by a 5 year old.
 
Hey, that is great and all, I agree with that for 1 reason: it didn't need to be "upgraded" the text looked just fine
 
Any screenshots of the new interface?

If theres anything we learnt from UT3 it's not to fuck with PC gamers interfaces :)
 
Yeah interface is pretty crap now IMO. It's like Macintosh users are like console users..

The menu was your only interest?

I'm not a fan of it the new interface nor of its clear rooting in the Mac movement, but these people are overreacting. The gameplay is completely unchanged from before the update, so who gives a shit? The menu may look terrible, but it's functional. If people want to bitch about it, that's fine, but don't go using it as some childish excuse for quitting the game.

Oh, and nobody cares about the fucking earbuds either. They'll be the same as the halos: you wouldn't be caught dead wearing it as long as you had two functional neurons in your fucking skull.
 
My god, it's absolutely awful.

I feel like TF2 has been consolified.

I'll be wearing the ear buds + halo + other rage inducing item to piss people off when I kill them. I'll also add a taunt. The game is fine, the interface before was also fine, I dunno why they'd change it.

lol It's not functional, there there are fucking pop ups everywhere and anywhere you put a window it's going to cover up a button. I pretty much quit playing TF2 a long time ago and only play it when I'm excessively bored, nor do I need an "excuse" to quit playing. But instead of debate the new interface/update you would rather call people childish because you can't think of anything valid to add to the discussion.

I think you should look up what the word functional means, because I don't think it means what you think it means. All the buttons connect to what they're supposed to and do what they are supposed to do. It may not be aesthetically pleasing and it may make you think "console game!" but it still functions. The popups go away after the first time using it but since you apparently don't even play the game, you probably didn't figure that out.

Furthermore, you seem to be incapable of reading. I don't like it either, but its hardly the end of the world. Nobody else in here is adding anything to the discussion other than saying "it sucks" or "stop whining". At least I identified the actual calculation that went into said whining. It is childish. It's absolutely childish to respond to something that is relatively unimportant to the overall structure of the game, something that does not directly affect the gameplay in any way, shape or form with threats of quitting the game.

You know what, fuck being rational. The more I think about what you say the more you strike me as another brainless, worthless internet trolling entitled fucktard with all the intelligence of a fucking nematode worm. I'll be waiting with baited breath for your "lolumad?" response.

You crazy boy! Also SixyWattMan there are like a thousand other games to play, I dont understand people wasting their time complaining about something like this, unless they actually truly enjoy the game and were hurt by such a change?

Any other game Dev everyone is like "WOW WHAT A SHIT INTERFACE I NO BUY THIS"
Valve it's like "WHY ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT THIS IT'S ONLY LESS FUNCTIONAL THAN BEFORE, IT'S FINE!"
 
You do realize that if you hate it so much, you can just start TF2 through Steam's "servers" menu and skip TF2's main menu all together, right? That's how I normally start it anyway.

Amazing that the proverbial straw is an update that changes the main menu and not anything else that actually matters, like gameplay.

Then what if you want to change servers while in game? destroyed.
 
this update rules :)


smarter bots (they actually use teleporters now) and can now play a CP map. I didn't like the menu at first, but it's not actually that bad now that I've gotten used to it... just took me a min. to find all the icons/options

"WHY ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT THIS IT'S ONLY LESS FUNCTIONAL THAN BEFORE, IT'S FINE!"
Click to expand...

it's just as functional as it was before and now with even more options :) (if you're having problems creating a server or something, click the "+" icon next to the play button)

Haha I'm pretty sure most Mac heads are primary console users. Seems like Valve wants to welcome new players with open arms. As for experienced players, yeah the menu looks like garbage, but you only see it between games anyway, no biggie.

I have a realistic fear of the downfall of Valve that's becoming more evident with each passing day.

Do you have any other clues to this supposed downfall? Seems like they are doing pretty well with there popular digital distribution system(Steam) that other companies are paying them to use as well as the new games coming out in fall that are coming out on the new platform\platforms(Mac and Linux). Increased income from Steam, Mac Users, and New Games seems to be on the road to success to me.

Success in a business sense? Sure. I have no doubts they are making money. But it's the same fear people have of "consolizing" pc games. Just seems to be more changes coming that deter from the way the company used to be, and used to act, operate, etc.

You could almost say the same thing about google. Especially with that wallpaper shit they pulled yesterday.

It might not be a "downfall" in the sense that you're thinking.
 
The new main menu is fine.

Valve has always been about having a broad audience. Don't you know how they playtest their games? They bring in moms and kids and stuff.
They want their games to appeal to as large an audience as they can and have them be user-friendly. Valve has always been like this since the start.
