Yeah some ideas aren't good, but you're not really wasting your time by playing these prerelease versions. You can see in real-time why these ideas never made it to the final game. Like the bullet time in Portal 2, after playing that build you can see why they scrapped it.
My condolences to anyone who wastes time playing prerelease versions of P2 or L4D2. Listen, every good idea we had went into the final thing we shipped, and anything not in the final version was not a good idea.Replying to @AestheticGamer1(2/2) This includes beta builds of Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Counter-Strike, third party games like Sonic 4, ton of indie games, etc. It's very recent, over a dozen terabytes in size, a lot to sort through, & this whole situation is going to probably get really messy very quickly- Yeah some ideas aren't good, but you're not really wasting your time by playing these prerelease versions.

- Sure, there's a bunch of neat ideas in there, and someday someone else will find a way to turn them into games!
the bullet time imo was pretty fun but was something rather easy to forget was in your toolkit
