Team Fortress 2 is incredible. There's no doubt about that. But it stinks that there's only a few people trying to keep the game running at Valve at this point.
On the topic of TF2 recently Valve essentially Thanos snapped about 90% of the bots and cheaters, and are continuing to ban future ones, they just released a great summer update with some awesome fixes, and rumor has it they are working on the final comic.
VALVe employees if they have to make another videogame: Holy Cheez-Itz man. I don't know what to do, nobody ever told us what to do, the only reason why I ever took the job is because we never have to do anything!
I still have my boxed copy of Half-Life, I think one experiences such events a single time in life. From the single player, modding, to the CS iterations. What a game.
I'm assuming this was near finished before the recent bot bannings and summer update, but even then I'd still put TF2 at least above HL 1 just because it's aged significantly better. HL 1 is an industry milestone but TF2 is a CULTURAL milestone.
I will forever defend alien swarm, it was a very solid co-op game and with a focused sequel I think valve could have had a fantastic game. It's such a shame it never got really anything.
Except his basic assets like removing the intro and outro for whatever reason. Also, not including the names of a game in normal countdowns unless they're tier lists. There's...really no legitimate reason to stop doing that because it's kind of important especially if you don't know what's being mentioned.
Do you think you'll ever rank Looking Glass Studios' Immersive Sims? My ranking of them is: 1. Thief II: The Metal Age (2000) 2. Thief: The Dark Project (1998) 3. System Shock (1994) 4. Ultima Underworld II: The Labyrinth of Worlds (1993) 5. System Shock 2 (1999) 6. Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss (1992)
@@russellwestbrook462 While I still love System Shock 2 (it was my introduction to Looking Glass Studios), it has some flaws that hold it back from the higher ranks for me. It has some amazing areas (just like the first game), but the quality goes off the cliff in the late game, with the final two levels being downright awful. This was due to rushed development, and Looking Glass were under a lot of pressure to finish the game by a certain deadline. Despite being a huge RPG Fan (as my username implies), I found the insertion of the RPG upgrade system to be sort of limiting in System Shock 2, and it's actually possible to soft-lock yourself if you don't put some points into agility by the late-game. Additionally, I prefer the overall story and execution of System Shock 1 over 2. System Shock 1 is a harder game to get into because of its dated UI, visuals, and mechanics, but I personally love the depth and complexity of the game. The System Shock Remake makes this game more approachable, but, while I love it, too, I do miss the soundtrack and aesthetics of the original version and found some aspects -- like the recycling mechanic in the vein of Prey (2017) -- to be unnecessary additions.
About 15 years ago my best friend and I played Day of Defeat casually. It wasn't our favorite game, but we liked it. Well, we introduced it to his younger brother, and he ended up getting so addicted to it he had to quit ALL gaming for years afterward. Kind of funny which games people can get into.
The dumbest thing about half life 2 is that so few games copied it. I mean crysis did, so did bishock, Dishonored and prey. And last us of us 1. And each one of the games that copied it is incredible, but i'm surprised there aren't more.
In the cases of Bioshock, Dishonored, and Prey, I'd argue that those took more inspiration from classic immersive sims. Bioshock may not be a full-fledged immersive sim but contains many of the elements of that design philosophy, and it's heavily inspired by System Shock. Ken Levine even headed development of System Shock 2. Dishonored and Prey are both immersive sims by Arkane, who follow very much in the footsteps of Looking Glass Studios. Dishonored takes plenty of inspiration from the Thief duology, while Prey is an ode to System Shock. To your point, though, I will say that Half-Life 2 and Dishonored shared some of the same level designers, and Half-Life 2's physics engine definitely had an influence on each of the games you mentioned.

Great video, Rabbid! Of the Valve games I've played, my ranking is: 1. Half-Life 2 2. Half-Life 3. Portal 2 4. Left 4 Dead 2 5. Left 4 Dead 6. Portal 7. Counter-Strike
I think the best game Valve made is Portal, while the sequel was bigger I also think it diluted some elements from the first one. Don't get me wrong Portal 2 is amazing but I feel the first game was lighting in a bottle and the second one just couldn't quite recapture that magic. If I had to rank the 4 Valve games that I've played and there all fantastic they would be: 4.Half-Life 3.Left 4 Dead 2 2.Portal 2 1.Portal Also GLADOS is my favorite video game villain.
Gordon Freeman in a cleavage-baring dress while tied up to a stake... you're causing some mighty peculiar awakenings with that image, Rabbid. Kinda sad I don't really have more to say than that though- Valve has been so fallow with their games lately that I don't really feel anything for them these days. Though I should note I say that because I don't own a VR headset and I haven't played Alyx... but I guess I' wondering how well it's sold and how much of an impact it'll really leave.
Valve has actually taken action against the bots recently, and casual is apparently pretty clean right now cheating-wise. We'll see if it stays that way, but they seem to still care at least a little.
I know it's not a PURE VR game but RE7 was a very early exanple of just how great VR can be. Alyx perfected a lot. But I do think VR gets a far worse rep than it deserves
Hell yeah, I loved watching this. But also hated it because it frustrates me with how much Valve has dropped the ball after 2011. I'm thankful TF2 got such a respectable spot on this list and the bots do seem to be gone for the time being so we'd better enjoy it while we can.
Honestly only played the left 4 dead games, TF2, Portal 2 and part of Half Life 2, so my ranking... 1. Left 4 Dead 2 2. Team Fortress 2 3. Left 4 Dead 4. Portal 2 5. Half Life 2 (though I will admit I'd probably enjoy it a lot more of I had played the first one to get some more in-universe context)
I really want to get into the half life games but I’m confused why half life 2 is 3 games. Like episode 1, episode 2, and HL2 without the subtitle. Unless HL2 are both episodes bundled together but I’m so confused looking at the steam search results. Why is there an option to buy half a game?
Half-Life 2 (without the subtitle) is the main game. Episode 1 and 2 are both expansion packs (kind of like DLC) that continue on the story from where Half-Life 2 left off.
Remember when gaming companies made games now its just getting rich while making the least ammount of effort steam is the worst for this and its not even close.
I got TWO words for you... "Por Tal" The first one, not the over-done sequel... "Hey guys, we're making a follow up to Soylent Green... With Adam Sandler as the lead..."
You have the list all wrong, the best valve game is ricochet and it isn’t even close, fuck half life, fuck cs:go, fuck portal and fuck tf2. All of them are nothing compared to ricochet
IMO Portal 2 should’ve been no.1. It’s probably cause I never finished HL 1 and haven’t played HL 2. At least you didn’t insult gamers every where by putting it anywhere below the top 3 and you are indeed spitting facts that it is one of the best games ever made.
Gman: hello little Timmy
Timmy: its the guy from skibidi toilet!
Gman: ...goodbye little Timmy
Gman: *teleports Timmy to room full of alien grunts*
Team Fortress 2 is incredible. There's no doubt about that. But it stinks that there's only a few people trying to keep the game running at Valve at this point.
apparnetly they HAVE fixed the bot issue (tho whether it holds remains to be seen)
I still remember when I first played Half-Life 2 and the Gman whispering, "Wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up, and, smell the ashes."
You're missing a fair few games from this ranking... Ricochet, Condition Zero, Deathmatch Classic, Opposing Force, Blue Shift
I mean, deathmatch classic is just quake in goldsrc. Its not even really half life deathmatch
One of the most "it just happened" games of all time
BS, OF are GearBox
Ricochet, DC and CZ are Mods
On the topic of TF2 recently Valve essentially Thanos snapped about 90% of the bots and cheaters, and are continuing to ban future ones, they just released a great summer update with some awesome fixes, and rumor has it they are working on the final comic.
Portal 2. After 13 years this game is still a banger. I miss the old days...
VALVe employees if they have to make another videogame: Holy Cheez-Itz man. I don't know what to do, nobody ever told us what to do, the only reason why I ever took the job is because we never have to do anything!
That doesn't seem right to me, valve employees aren't forced to work on specific projects but to imply they do nothing seems inaccurate.
They are working on deadlock and possibly a new half life though
That is a very obscure reference… I love it
I still have my boxed copy of Half-Life, I think one experiences such events a single time in life. From the single player, modding, to the CS iterations. What a game.
I'm assuming this was near finished before the recent bot bannings and summer update, but even then I'd still put TF2 at least above HL 1 just because it's aged significantly better. HL 1 is an industry milestone but TF2 is a CULTURAL milestone.
they fixed tf2??
The idea HL1 wasn't a cultural milestone feels like recency bias
I will forever defend alien swarm, it was a very solid co-op game and with a focused sequel I think valve could have had a fantastic game. It's such a shame it never got really anything.
been watching rabbidluigi since around 2011 i think and i have to say nothing has changed too much on this channel.

It's still amazing.

Portal and its sequel remain some of the best puzzle games ever.
If you need any further ideas for worst to best lists, here’re a few suggestions.
Donkey Kong
Mega Man
Ratchet and Clank
Assassin’s Creed
Tales of series (Symphonia, Berseria, etc)
Dod source is genuinely an underrated game, it's so fun!

1. Half-Life 2
2. Half-Life
3. Portal 2
4. Left 4 Dead 2
5. Left 4 Dead
6. Portal
7. Counter-Strike
Do most underrated videogames 🎮 ever video.

1.Portal
Also GLADOS is my favorite video game villain.
I gotta say as a dota player Artifact was a big disappointment on release but now they've made every card free its fun to dick around with friends.
Half-life 3 confirmed!
Really?
Gordon Freeman in a cleavage-baring dress while tied up to a stake... you're causing some mighty peculiar awakenings with that image, Rabbid.

For me the Orange box
But if I had to pix 1 Portal 2

DO EVERY NINTENDO VIDEOGAME & EVERY ELECTRIC ARTS VIDEOGAMES WORST TO BEST!
Hell yeah, I loved watching this. But also hated it because it frustrates me with how much Valve has dropped the ball after 2011. I'm thankful TF2 got such a respectable spot on this list and the bots do seem to be gone for the time being so we'd better enjoy it while we can.
What about Condition Zero and the deleted scenes?
I have played more half life 2 then one human realistically should.
Umm blue shift and opposing force? Richochet? Etc.
Blueshift and opposing force are gearbox
Ah valve; a game company that has many entries despite not being able to count to 3. 😜
Thank you
as of right now, there is practically no bots in tf2. though time will tell if that holds water
Honestly only played the left 4 dead games, TF2, Portal 2 and part of Half Life 2, so my ranking...
1. Left 4 Dead 2
2. Team Fortress 2
3. Left 4 Dead
4. Portal 2
5. Half Life 2 (though I will admit I'd probably enjoy it a lot more of I had played the first one to get some more in-universe context)
I will say though, left 4 dead is my second favourite game franchise after Pokémon
I remember back when rabbidluigi said that half life 2 ai was terrible
I love Half-Life, but Half-Life 1 should not be that high on the list. It hasn't aged *that* well.
I really want to get into the half life games but I’m confused why half life 2 is 3 games. Like episode 1, episode 2, and HL2 without the subtitle.
Unless HL2 are both episodes bundled together but I’m so confused looking at the steam search results.
Why is there an option to buy half a game?
Half-Life 2 (without the subtitle) is the main game. Episode 1 and 2 are both expansion packs (kind of like DLC) that continue on the story from where Half-Life 2 left off.
i desagree with Hl2 ep 2 placement, id put it in one of top 5, best non VR half life game ever.
Remember when gaming companies made games now its just getting rich while making the least ammount of effort steam is the worst for this and its not even close.
Ok now rank every Nintendo game
ricochet apparently is so bad it isnt even on this video
Counter strike source ?
HL2 amd CS Source.... best Valve.
It's sad that not only have Valve abandoned the game TF2, they've even left the comics on a cliffhanger.
They're making the seventh comic tho, they confirmed it. Also the bots are gone for a month already (whether they stay gone, we'll see)
mostly agree with the list, thing half life 1 and two should be switched just for the cultural impact...HF2 was great, but HF changed the field
Bingoooo!
I got TWO words for you... "Por Tal"
The first one, not the over-done sequel...
"Hey guys, we're making a follow up to Soylent Green... With Adam Sandler as the lead..."
half life 2 beta is 0th place yayayayayayay free tvs!!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰
If Team Fortress 2 comes to the Switch or it's successor, that would be a huge win!
Wait, so is HL2 a remake of the 2 episodes or something?
You have the list all wrong, the best valve game is ricochet and it isn’t even close, fuck half life, fuck cs:go, fuck portal and fuck tf2. All of them are nothing compared to ricochet
IMO Portal 2 should’ve been no.1. It’s probably cause I never finished HL 1 and haven’t played HL 2. At least you didn’t insult gamers every where by putting it anywhere below the top 3 and you are indeed spitting facts that it is one of the best games ever made.
