woah free portal for pc

niccccccccccce

[kantikun134970]

Oh! I get it, he's the Glenn Beck of video games.

So he's a moron and a creep.

[MetalSmasherGaming]

Final Fantasy is dead now. 1-7 were the best, then it went downhill after 9.

[ssjmega]

@MetalSmasherGaming ff 10 was good (after that ... a shit load crappy ff games came in to being)

[WilHiteWarrior]

You know... Suddenly, memories of the last final fantasy that carried a -2 at the end of the title come screaming back to me and I have an overwheliming desire to cry in a corner

[jimmyboy2021]

I hope the 3Ds and all these other 3D technology scams bomb so we can start progressing our technology forward into something functionally useful, not visually pleasing & dangerous

[Xidphel]

@jimmyboy2021 Just deactivate the 3D and it's a normal DS (Except for the whole bigger top screen and other 3D unrelated gimmicks).

[jimmyboy2021]

@Xidphel don't you find that a little ridiculous? It just shows how much more of a gimmick it is instead of a revolutionary feature.

[Xidphel]

@jimmyboy2021 Meh. I'll judge for myself. Though I like the fact that you can play GB/C/A games.

[Xidphel]

@Xidphel Minus GBA.

[jimmyboy2021]

@Xidphel trust me, im pumped for some of the games they got comin out for it. You see the Dead or Alive dimension game it looks sick. And backwards compatibility is always good. Maybe if it added 3d support on those older titles that would b pretty revolutionary, but they rn't. And im not saying 3d is necessarily bad, i duno what you would be judging. I think its funny that it can damage us in a slight way. But ok now we got 3d, now what, it doesn't make a game play better

[masterchiefisawomen]

Why does it seem Valve is the only half decent gaming company that cares about consumers now? lol

[HIGH777ROLLER]

...announcing a bunch of final fantasy games nobody ask for...

hahaha...so true...

[BWGgy]

Hope the 3DS gets virtual boy ports!

[Xidphel]

READY TO GO! TYPE ZERO!

FINAL FANTASY AGITO!

(LAWL Kamen Rider XD)

[Xidphel]

"I feel like pissing off some fanboys"

I think I like Destin.

[LinksGamingHammerBro]

I just noticed that the 3DS might not have a Mario game. Think about it...Every Nintendo console has a Mario game and they all were released when the system was...But the 3DS will be released soon & no Mario game rumors!

[Ginobi666]

this game could do 2 things to Square........ 1. SLIGHTLY salvage their diminishing reputation or.....2. They fall flat on their faces and stays down

[LewizX90]

I HOPE FF Agito XIII have NOTHING to do with FFXIII.

TWO HUNDRED TEN F*CKIN QUID i blew on that pile of Dog Refuse!

...Well OK, my DAD got it for me but still!

[CyC10n345]

Portal 2 looks promising but I'll pass Final Fantasy Games. If Sqaure Enix couldn't get Final Fantasy 11, 12, 13 and 14 right then I've pretty much giving up hope on a once great franchise.

BlaZer91

[shrek187]

I am eagerly waiting for versus XIII.

But I agree with you Destin, making a XIII-2 was pointless and no one asked for it. Making a sequel to an already bad game. Get ready for another 20 hour tutorial people.

[shadow1854]

The 3ds isn't going to be that bad, jeez. It's something different. 

[578t7645uyb5]

Hey I can't wait for those FF titles, stfu all of you. :(

[Sckarton]

@578t7645uyb5 butthurt fanboy

[578t7645uyb5]

@Sckarton Lol dude, I was partially joking. I do love those titles but obviously some people are going to dislike it.

Get off your haterade, jesus.

[CaptainStringCheese]

Is it me or does Lightning look more hot?

[semysane]

Bah! I haet 3D! I, like MILLIONS of people around the world, can't actually see 3D images. They just look blurry and give me headaches.

So, suck on that, people with biopic vision! NOW YOU FEEL OUR PAIN!

[OGKUSHI]

@semysane Actually the 3DS doesn't do real 3D, when you play it, it's like your watching like 10cm into the DS, it's not like the image is "coming out"

[ridjf]

YOU CAN'Y HANDLE THE 3D!!!!!

[TheMooseofBattle]

I sense the 3ds will have a simmilar fate as the Virtual Boy.

[Zero1859]

3D is nuthing but a gimic sure it makes something jump off screen for a couple of seconds but really if u think about it its not worth the money...and its a cheap gimick.

[JokeBro]

I'm dustin' and this is hard news! :D

[GreyFox23]

Damn. Was hoping the side effect for the 3DS would be something cool. Like laser vision.

[mtgcollector2010]

for future death battle i would like to see Sonic the hedgehog vs Flash from dc, Lara Croft from tomb raider vs Jill from resident evil, Fei long from street fighter vs Lee from tekken, GoGaigar MAru King Vs. Optimux Prime from Transformer, Naurto Vs. Incredible Hulk, ects. these are just a few fights off the top of my head I want to see. Thanks for listening.

[CoolTrixs]

I feel like piss'n off a couple of fanboys today. XD

[TimmzyGuy27]

portal not cross platform capable, GOOD, i dont know any proper PC gamers who dont play WoW and what would be the point in it anyway

[symphony929]

versus XIII looks amazing. REALLY AMAZING. Cant say that about type 0 or 13-2-

[ike111111]

3ds = virtual boy 2.....

[Vommdoddus]

Final fantasy has always sucked..

[TheFoxshot]

im just going to rent FFXIII-2 to try it out. But what im really waiting for is Final Fantasy Versus XIII. have you guys seen the latest trailer? (conference) both the gameplay and especially the graphics looks amazing!

[SphereHappy]

no-one asked for texting of the bread...

[TheKungFuProductions]

FF XIII - 2....I don't want to play as a bitchy girl again.

I hate lightning.

[blaakmage]

GUH IM SO FUCKIN PISSED ABOUT THE FINAL FANTASY

THIRTEEN WAS A GIANT FLAMING SHITPILE

[tietjen1st]

WOOHOO!!! another FF13!!! i dont care what everyone said that game rocked and i am stoked for another one!

[NintendoNewsNReviews]

In that Final Fantasy Agito XII trailer (pause at 1:12) are they about to D-D-D D-D-D-D-DUEL? So there's a Children's card game in FF, like we don't have enough Japanese card games already.

[MaveriKat]

@NintendoNewsNReviews At least it's not Children's Card Games on Impossibly Unrealistic Final Fantasy Motorcycles.

[TheWayToTheDawnVIII]

Well fuck Valve. Now I know how PS3 owners feel about the CoD Map Packs. I mean, my computer sucks, so I probably can't play Portal 2 on it seeing as my specs barely meet the requirements for Portal, but still.

Also, fuck Square Enix. We don't want more Final Fantasy. I understand their reasons for releasing so many but at least start releasing them less often.

[proyectoutopia]

3DS = Virtual Boy 2.0

[husnain404]

AKA Handsome Tom 2.0, Destin Legarie (AKA Daily Destin) is Craig's right hand man and personal house nigger. He was discovered by Stuttering Craig after claiming asylum in America, fleeing the third world country of Canada. Seeing potential and a large Handsome Tom shaped gap in his company, Craig took him under his wing to work on the site with his only payment being daily anal penetration.

[LobsterFusion]

I like Final Fantasy but its time for Square to go back to some other titles. A third Chrono game would be nice. Maybe even a return to the Mana series. At least Parasite Eve is making a come back soon.

[Kyosukedono]

@LobsterFusion YES YES AND YES!!!! you are ssooooooo right!!! Seiken Densetsu NEEds to come back but needs to be a throwback of the old ones such as seiken densetsu 3, not the shitty one they released for the DS.

[After4th]

FFXIII has a lot of universe that needs exploring and knots tied. If it's lighter and softer or darker and edgier and if it if feels more of a turned based RPG I'll buy it.

Not so surprising with the 3DS's effects. Even with films, it's a gimmick. Like with the other handheld console we like to forget.

I want to hear SA's news of Dragon Quest VI DS remake which is the first to be exported overseas.

[evilkorpse]

well i agree with what destin said "more final fantasy games no one asked for" seriously once i saw the trailer i was like "OH HELL HERE WE GO AGAIN MORE CRAP" wait hold up i heard on hard news before that one of the creators of the ffxiii game said that the game was not that good and fans did not like it and that was a couple months ago as JAMES AVG Nerd would say" what the hell were they thinking!

[VVWEtitantrons]

Wow, I'm so buying the PS3 version now.

[soopamarwio]

Oh my god, more final fantasy. How long will they be milking it?

[watercat8]

. . . really, really Square? REALLY? *facepalm*

[Dan1loBr]

Destin, you said final fantasy was like... "aG-'I'to" where I think it's like "a-gee-to", which would be 'hideout' in japanese, if I'm not mistaken...

[LeonXBlade10]

emmm, why he didn't talk about final fantasy versus XIII... that one is the most epic game of all... time, motherfucker!

[xorterenshe]

"A bunch of Final Fantasy titles no-one asked for." Epic, lol

[HashSIingingSIasher]

hopefully when ps3 users try to play with a PC or MAC user, they dont bring their shitty PSN connection into the mix....

[tiagoversalike]

Agito is an anagram of my name! Spread the word!

Or not. It's a funny coincidence, nevertheless. :)

[ilovegameshad]

HADOUKEN!!

[DreadRaptor85]

Nintendo 2DS?

[Zwank36]

Pissing off fan-boys is awesome fun. Thumbs down if your a fan-boy.

[GameMasterSoko]

Major Fail here....First of all FFXIII-2 might not have been asked for but it's drawing off of fan feedback so it should be much better. FF Agito is changed to Type-O not staying as Agito... And you didn't even mention the biggest release of all which was a long Versus XIII trailer that showed tons of gameplay. Good work

[hybridRace92]

did anyone check out FF XIII-2's tagline from SE?

"Final Fantasy XIII-2: Experience twice the bullshit this winter"

nice that SE is taking an honest approach to it.

[killajoy714]

well looks like I may be getting portal 2 for my ps3!

[BlackhawkGameStudios]

damn! Lightning looks sexy in this new game! i suddenly want to buy FF XIII-2 ;)

[TKnHappyNess]

Why the hell do we need a FFXIII-2?

[Haroids]

PS3 <3

[dannythesage]

Lol, you gotta realize that these people are, in fact, Japanese, the same people who were killed with an episode of Pokemon with bright lights.

[legogamer98]

3DS.... yeah, I don't think it's awesome for the 3D, just the games

we got

an new KI

MK

PM

EVERY THING

[SamFTheCriticKid]

@ChrisSniped

Oh sh*t ur right lol, when I clicked on it though it said there were no comments yet, and I plan not to do it in the future

[ProtoSnake]

Will FFXIII-2 suck again, we'll find out soon in the future.

[EternalYoshi]

@ProtoSnake I hope it's better than X-2. :/

Disclaimer: X-2 did have cool things like how abilities are learned if you look past the girliness.

[TheLostBorieals]

Portal 2+PS3 FTW

[bleachta334]

this shit is old as fuck ive know about agito or whatever since mid way through last year

[ASTK928]

@danethefurry maybe so. I agree with you on that. But like i said, i'm able to love and appreciate the old games and still love and appreciate the new ones and many people. I don't find anything wrong with that. Square Enix has every right to take risks in order to keep up with the new.

[liamw987654]

We can know speak to the whole population of the ps3 all in one match :D

[WEIRDBOYKZer0]

i wanted to throw an hadouken damnit!!!!!!

[ASTK928]

@danethefurry speaking as a guy who's played the Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X, I seriously mean that FFXIII was a great game. Sure it's different, but still great.

[SpiritTHIRTY1]

theyre doing that for ps3 because they know the Portal 2 PS3 sales are going to be low

[SUCKRPUNCHED]

@SpiritTHIRTY1 or they know the PS3 is the superior console and they are doing this as an apology for what Gabe Knewel said in the past. However you look at it, the PS3 version of Portal 2 is the definitive version.

[SpiritTHIRTY1]

@SUCKRPUNCHED see, i had a logical reason, and you come back with this age old bs of "which console is better" crap. seriously, what is this, the Genesis/SNES days?? 

[SUCKRPUNCHED]

@SpiritTHIRTY1 Well, if you knew anything about games you would know that at E3, Gabe Knewel basically said that the PS3 would be home to the definitive version of Portal 2, before the announcement of the free pc or mac version. ownd

[SpiritTHIRTY1]

@SUCKRPUNCHED well good for it. if i wanted the same game on two separate platforms for some reason, ill buy it on pc too, big deal. dont see how that makes ps3 superior, but im not going to reason with you because your mind is so one track its pointless.

honestly i like both ps3 and 360, and considering getting a ps3 because their exclusives lineup this year looks awesome. already have a ps1, played a lot of ps2, and have a psp, so i dont hate playstation.

[thbebokg1]

iv been saying for months that the 3ds was gona fuck with peoples eyes

[kazanyemmi]

man im so sick of hearing about the 3ds.

[ASTK928]

I don't care what anyone says. Final Fantasy XIII was a great game. I can't wait for Final Fantasy XIII-2

[cascadeSC]

@ASTK928 Nice joke

[ASTK928]

@cascadeSC hahaha yea not kidding. It was a great game. 

[oakfire12]

The 3D side effects are not exclusive to the 3DS. ALL 3D HAS SIDE EFFECTS, even at the movies, when I watch a 3d movie I feel like ive been punched in the eyes for 2 hours

[ToastyDaMosty]

@husnain404 we dont wanna hear how your jealous of Destin making money on this nor aware of your existance

[Lionalliance]

What?!

No Versus XIII clip?!

[Psyched180]

Agito was announced years ago, though...

[JonJonXs]

@Psyched180 He said that Final Fantasy Agito XIII's name was changed to Final Fantasy Type-0 which was revealed today...

[Psyched180]

@JonJonXs Yes, I realize that now, my bad...

[WyldOrbit]

FIRST

[DerplesThePanda]

@WyldOrbit .......thats hilarious

[bmcj199]

@WyldOrbit i love you. Gay sex yes?

[Altar360]

damn, I was hoping Nintendo could create a better alternative to 3-D but this just proves that 3-D entertainment just has to die

[edibleocelot]

okay so valve has given free hats and games to Macintosh users, and given free versions of portal 2 to PS3 users. and what do the PC and Xbox users get? a bunch of costly store items, shitty update schedules and overall middle fingers. thanks valve.

[NateTahGreat]

Xbox updates are coming. They are trying to get every update into a big one to give to the xbox users so they don't have to pay much. (Sense Microsoft won't let them give it out for free.)

[VVWEtitantrons]

@edibleocelot Portal 2 isn't going to be released for the xbox, the xbox died back in 2007, not including the 3 last madden games.

It will however, be released on PS3, PC, and Xbox360.

[edibleocelot]

@VVWEtitantrons yeah, in regards to the xbox i mean in the name of tf2, that port was a waste of effort.

[ZeroFact0r]

@edibleocelot Valve= Loves Sony

Valve= Wut's a "Microsoft"?" one of our console choices? Oh yeah...

[powerpc127]

@edibleocelot As a mac/ps3 user, I guess I lucked out. I don't care about the hats, though.

[chrisnorth27]

@edibleocelot not being a fanboy or anything but valve gives pc gamers free stuff all the time. free dlc for left4dead 1 and 2, great free games like alien swarm,codename gordon, hl2 dm, hl2 lost coast, oh yeah and they give a one stop never have to leave your house for games shop called steam but then again your right they dont give pc gamers anything. oh btw ill be buying portal 2 for the ps3 and playing it on the PC just to piss you off lol.

[upn2daleft]

@chrisnorth27 agreed

[ShaDow9167]

@edibleocelot well its good for those who love the ps3...

[ffboi7]

@edibleocelot For PC users its uncalled for! But for 360 users blame Microsoft not Valve

[captainclayman]

@edibleocelot christ it's hard being proud to be a PC gamer when all you fuckers complain so much.

also hats are fucking stupid and people who even care about them are also stupid. you cant even see them on your fucking head because it's in 1st person. who gives a shit.

also ALSO, you dont get free portal 2. you pay for the game once, and you get it on every platform. its not like you get two copies of the game. you can only play one at a time because it's on the same steam account.

[tiaxanderson]

@edibleocelot Actually, I got Portal for free off steam during some 48 hour stunt, usually these things are done with the game creator's permission and I've got no reason to think they didn't endorse that stunt.

[randomviewer896]

lul

[JURPO90]

@edibleocelot gabe newell basically said that ps3 users are dumb fucks who bought the wrong console, someone said that hes angry. and now gabe newell wants that customer back.

[Mustkunstn1k]

@edibleocelot THAT. IS. FUCKING. BULLSHIT.

First off, Valve has given a lot more to PC than to Mac. Mac users have gotten no free games. Portal was free for everyone. They just got ONE stupid Tf2 hat. PC users have gotten a lot more exclusive hats. And PS3 users HAVE TO BUY Portal 2.

And as for the 360.... BLAME FUCKING MICROSOFT. Microsoft doesn't allow free stuff nor cross-platform.

[PenneyBack]

@Mustkunstn1k What about the cross platform on shadowrun?

[oli696969]

@edibleocelot pc got free portal aswell... also mac gets no games on steam whilst pc gets AMAZING FUCKING DEALS on steam i dont know how you can slam steam when they offer the best christmas deals.

[edibleocelot]

@oli696969 okay, yeah. though most PC users with steam already bought portal before that update. steam also has a ton of their best games on mac, and some of those odd games on PC only. and mac users get those deals too. the thing is i'm not basing steam, i'm bashing valve.

and anyway look at TF2, great game until every update makes us pay tons of money for stuff.

[edibleocelot]

@oli696969 okay, yeah. though most PC users with steam already bought portal before that update. steam also has a ton of their best games on mac, and some of those odd games on PC only. and mac users get those deals too. the thing is i'm not basing steam, i'm bashing valve.

[lediadruid]

Good thing 3D isn't forced. I like my games on my screen and not in the face.*insert bukkake joke here*

[Greenagainn]

P2 for PS3 is an instant buy for me. I was going to get both the PS3 version and the PC version. Thanks Valve for saving me £30

[vestibual]

I'm not really arsed about the 3D on the 3DS, I just think it's going to be a good system.

[GanonKirby89]

mh, why was it so obvious that the 3DS will make ppl feel like this? *cough*virtual boy*cough*

[glitchz1]

You want to play in 3D? YOU CANT HANDLE HANDLE 3D!

[pepomk123]

So, the 3DS makes you go cross-eyed...

[TylursVideo]

hopefully the 3ds wont take the path of the virtual boy...

[DominusVita]

On a final fantasy note, make sure to check the ff versus XIII gameplay footage released on youtube - don't expect it to last long before getting pulled.

yesh! thank u valve!

[koolgool]

Wait, all those new FF13 games were talked about but not Versus? ... Are they just going to forget about that one or something?

[sayanskywolf13]

@koolgool also is hard news who forgot to mention it,there is a new trailer for vs XIII with gameplay! square did a great show fucking epic all of them games

[skinnywasian]

@koolgool yeah i feel raped, i've been waiting for so long and it didn't even get mentioned (for as far as i know)

[swade9wade]

Valve has officially give an 'F You' to the Xbox Version of Portal 2. Way to go for being supportive guys.

[PsychoTomHoang]

@swade9wade

It makes up for the "F You" to PS3 in general from Valve in years past.

[DerplesThePanda]

@swade9wade How? "Yay! Now I can have 12 year olds from TWO consoles calling me a faggot! Horray!" I dont see that as much of a bonus.

the ps3 seems its gonna be really good this year with portal 2 the last guardian and all the sequals to awesome games it looks like its gonna be its year as for the 3ds i dont really care about the gimmicky 3d ill put it on sometimes but most of the time ill just enjoy the awesome luanch library when it comes out.

[monkeypuncher20]

[car45j34]
