Thats hardly what I would call episodic, its more like tiny expansions that are few and far between.Īs for whether portal is a bad idea, I'm gonna have to say no.
In the time its taken valve to release two of the half-life episodes, they could have been well and truly on their way to producing a proper half-life three. Personally I reckon the success of episodic content will have more to do with companies like telltale than it will valve. Each episode may be short by comparison to a full fledged adventure game, but telltale is committed to releasing them once a month till the season is done so its not like you really have to wait much and each episode is significantly cheaper than a whole game (even buying the whole season is cheaper than buying a full retail title and will probably in the end deliver more hours of gameplay than most games do).
Click to expand.What sam and max fiasco? Reviews for sam and max were generally favourable and I havent really heard anyone complaining about the episodic content.
