As much as I like the content in the new TF2 update, I’m also still incredibly disappointed in Valve. Not Eric and the contractor actually working on the game, but Valve themselves for not giving more of a shit for one of their tentpole games. Most of the maps had incredible performance issues on launch, some had a ton of visual bugs, and VSH is still broken. It’s not a game that can be maintained, let alone updated, by two people. And the fact that people are STILL singing Valve’s praises despite the shortcomings of the update just because it wasn’t COMPLETE garbage, and the hats and skins are actually decent, baffles me. For the size and age of the game, it deserves more than what would be considered a bog-standard update back in the day, and an above-average update shouldn’t get this much praise
I didn’t know there were so many bugs. Haven’t had a chance to play it as I need to do work on my PC. That is unfortunate to hear. All these years later and TF2 has a playerbase other games could only dream of achieving. Such a shame dota and csgo pull in so much more money, otherwise they could be pouring resources in their THRID most profitable game. ALSO as a former unusual collector there’ve been very few effects that have WOW’d me over the past few years.
I have more thoughts on the matter but, I suppose that’s what this comic is for heh
tbh the Mountain Halo effect this update is one of my favorite effects of all time, it’s a more subtle Morning Glory and looks amazing with my Searing Antlers. The fact a buddy of mine made it and it’s his first item ingame just makes it better.
The three sky/space ones look pretty nice. I do like effects like that. I always wanted one of the three moon cloud ones from Scream Fortress X, but they’re too rare and expensive these days.
Tbh was never a massive fan of the older scream fortress effects besides say, knifestorm. Probably the biggest reason I finally got that CV prehistoric sold.
