strictly linear walking simulator
>no, this isn't a cutscene, because a cutscene can be skipped, now just stand around like a fool until the cutscene played out
muh physics over actual game play
trailers made it look like an actual open world, but despite ridiculous harddrive installations it didn't LOADING even manage to get LOADING linear streaming LOADING

>now all the NPCs that you killed in Half-Slop 1 are alive and are actual characters, which is totally stupid

Portal 2 does the same shit

Were you the only ones on that train?
Overwatch stopped our train in the woods and took my husband in for questioning. They said he'd be on the next train. I'm not sure when that was. They're being nice though, letting me wait for him.

Valve pajeets lying as always

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_cake_is_a_lie
In a 2010 interview with Gamasutra about Portal 2, Wolpaw indicated that no jokes or references to cake would be made for the then-upcoming game as he was "sick of the memes".

>remove cake is the lie because "sick of the memes"
>instead the entire game is nothing but mugging for the audience as you spout nonstop reddit tier dialogue mixed with "wow, THAT just happened"

>>715871408
to be fair their writing and characters are just shit
plus as always an autistic protagonist, that everyone talks to as if (s)he wasn't an autistic freak

This.
I always fucking hated how people praised HL2 for "never taking control away from the player". Could you please take control away so that I may skip this totally-not-a-cutscene#78

>>715871630
actual game:
>if it has cutscenes (it shouldn't), you can easily skip them by the touch of a button

Valve "game"
>no, no, this isn't a cutscene, therefore you have to wait 5 minutes instead of being able to skip it

If people were able to skip cutscenes in Portal 2, the actual game hidden inside it would be only a few hours. But instead it wastes your time for no reason.

Also Half-Life 2 slop
>hurrr Gordon, here, I have a hand gun, but I will give you le funny crowbar. REMEMBER CROWBARS GORDON? CROWBARS!!! REMEMBER ME
Yeah, I remember you. I killed your ass, why are you alive?

I'm still surprised that the player isn't a black female.
