Title: Shut the fuck up about microtransactions. SHUT IT
Post by: GilloD on April 19, 2011, 07:50:43 PM
If I listen to one more fucking internet crybaby going OH GOD PORTAL 2 HAS HATS YOU CAN BUY AND TF2 RUINED EVERYTHING I'm gonna fucking burn down the internet.

No one is making you buy this fucking shit. 90% of it can be obtained JUST BY PLAYING THE FUCKING GAME. It gives you 0 advantage and it's not necessary in the first place. So shut the fuck up. Don't buy it. No problem.

Jesus christ

I'd rather Valve charge for cosmetic skins and get meaningful content for free instead of being charged for both.

The dumbest part is that you can buy $40 worth of hats for two player co-op.

Why would you want hats for co-op anyway? Hats are only useful for public servers to show off.

That said I did get to import my MANN CO. cap from TF2 because I bought stuff

Yeah, if it's for hats you can't see on yourself anyway, people complaining about this should shift their attention to just making fun of people who have bought them.

That's the best part about them. When Valve banned people for idling for hats in TF2, they gave everyone who didn't do it a halo hat. Then threads popped up where the dirty cheating idlers said wouldn't heal people wearing halos.

Hats r srs bizness

I'm pretty sure you don't unlock the stuff they're selling in game in Portal 2. I've beat single player and co-op and am like 4 achievements shy of 100% and only unlocked two. Shit sucks.

All of us here on the TF2 team have been asking to play Portal 2 for months now.

"Go away," the Portal guys told us. "You'll just try to put hats in it."

"Whaaattttt?" we said. "That's—psshhhh. If anything, we'll probably tell you to take some hats out of the game."

"There are no hats in the game."

After this, there was an awkward ten-minute silence while all of us on the TF2 team stared at the Portal guys, waiting for them to start laughing. Instead, they just told us to go away again. That's when we realized: with so little time left before release, we couldn't afford to waste any time playing the game. We had to fix it. Now. So late last night we snuck into the Portal 2 source code and copy/pasted some hats into it.

You're welcome, Portal 2 team.

Today, we pass the fruits of our clandestine game-saving labor onto you, the hat-loving public (or as you're more commonly known, the public). If you own any of the following hats in Team Fortress 2, you'll be able to equip them on your Cooperative Testing Initiative robots in Portal 2:

    Mann Co. Cap
    Prince Tavish's Crown
    Pyro's Beanie
    Fancy Fedora
    Master's Yellow Belt
    Tyrant's Helm

If you've been on the fence up until now—and who could blame you—you've finally got a reason to buy Portal 2. Courtesy of Team Fortress 2. The best game that Valve makes with a "2" on the end.
