Normally we would take them like a grain of salt, but now we have crossed into their territory(ok this would be the second time, but this is more of a crossing) so I found some of the threads of what they are saying.

Ah the Steam forums, always good to hover there if you want to laugh at peoples weak complaints. And of course it's the most hat filled disscusion forum around ;D

I like how you picked out just the negative ones.

[RAnthonyMahan]

That's because the positive ones are no fun to laugh at. :p

But seriously, the general reaction (though there are exceptions) of the TF2 fanbase to this game is just sad. It kind of makes me wish Valve/Telltale didn't decide to give out items for Poker Night. Yeah, it's helping sales, but most of those sales are coming from people who are either uninterested in the game or outright hate it.

Or those simply getting it for the hat/items.

[spd12]

I don't see any reason for anyone to get worked up over it. You're either getting a cool game on the cheap, some cool items, or even both depending on how you look at it.

For five bucks, everyone wins. Except for whoever loses at the table anyway.

[Moob22]

I love TF2 and had a idea that Poker Night would have hats or some sort of unlockables. Yet I pre-ordered it for two reasons, I had just enough for it on a gift card I got and I don't have any poker games, why not get one where I can play with some of my favorite characters?

I've had TF2 for over a month now, and I knew all the chaos that hats were causing, but to me all they are something to make my Scout look awesome, but when was the last time a hat killed? I'd rather take a weapon over a hat any day. Its really sad over there, people are demanding that the Lugemorph have a unique distinction to increase its value, and then how much people want hats. Cheaters are saying they should be rewarded for cheating with a hat..... just stupid.

Im only 3 sentences in and he already has his facts wrong.

He says the game was delayed, hmmm. When was it delayed, I remember steam getting the release date WRONG but not it being delayed. Fail.
EDIT: and lets see of here are so far my faves. I have found not one but 2(so far) people who are obviously lieing about them saying they bought the game for the game. One guy said that he got it for the interactions of the Heavy, Strong Bad, Max, and TYCON!!! And another said he preorderd it because of the interactions betwee the Heavy and SAM!
Morons.

Geez, it's getting an awful lot of flak for being a game that is exactly what it claims it is: a fanboy/girl's dream.

It's been pretty clear that this is for a target audience.

But I do love me some Tycon and Sam dialogue.

Telltale was like this with Sam and Max too. If game companies were people then Telltale would be a pothead that spends his time writing weird poetry outside a coffee shop all day. Valve is the owner of the coffee shop who sells the poetry to publishing companies.What the what?

The nice thing about this one ^ is that it filters out all the 'Make the Luger vintage!' and all the 'I play TF2 for fun!' as well as comparing diamonds and gold to hats.

I still can't believe how much worth hats are to those guys. Weapons I understand but hats? They don't do anything but make you look spiffy. And the Lugermorph, I missed out on it and always thought it was a cool pistol, so this works out perfect for me. The unlocks are just a cherry to the best damn cake ever.

He's saying Telltale is a loser company that's dependent on Valve for any sort of success, while Valve is worthwhile and gets the real profit from Telltale's games.

Because, as we all know, the only games Telltale has ever done are The Devil's Playhouse and Poker Night at the Inventory, and every last person who bought those games, without exception, didn't care about them and only wanted the TF2 items, which somehow means the money they paid for those games went to Valve instead of Telltale. :rolleyes:

Also, with all due respect to Valve, I've got to say something to all the TF2 fanboys going on about how Valve is better than Telltale. The Mole, the Mob, and the Meatball, Night of the Raving Dead, Baddest of the Bands, Muzzled!, Lair of the Leviathan, and They Stole Max's Brain. Hmm. Seems like Telltale has managed to make six different "Episode Threes" already. :p

Just imagine, HL2: E3 is going to become the new "Duke Nukem Forever" now that that game has actually had a demo released an is very likely (I still can't say "is") going to be released. Hell, there's already tons of jokes about it being delayed over and over.

This one is good.
We have a hypicrit argument, where people complain about the new store and then buy Pokernight for the hats. Followed by some people saying that the game obviously sucks and the tf2 items are the only point in buying it which I must say

They are morons, quick someone who has an account on those forums and tell everyone what telltale is about, how good the games are without tf2 items and more.

Steal Prized Posession maybe(although this was the guy who willingly shot his best friend in 102) decapitate himself, heck he was the guy who wanted his head to explode in 301.
EDIT: reading more into that thread, it looks like only 2 of the people even know it isnt valve who is making the game. A few things is that if VALVE added the hat, it would increase sales for VALVE! Valve should get some money for this, but last I checked it wasn't just VALVE getting all the money. Some people think VALVE chose all this, with some people saying please do it VALVE! Last I checked the only say VALVE gets is what the tf2 items do, and what the heavy can and can't say. Like I said only 2 people even mention TELLTALE the people who only MADE THE GAME. One says Guys valve doesnt say much in this, and the other says add the petition here at telltale(thank god no one did yet)

Ignoring all of the "Name My Item" threads, I quite enjoy the company found in the "Other" subforum. But for the most part, the rest of the place stinks of grotesque self-entitlement. Which (as I'm sure someone else will be keen to point out,) is the lurking "bad" that people must accept when when they invite themselves to VALVe's "good."
