So, who is gonna get the Orange box? Get half life 2, Episodes 1&2, portal, and Team Fotress 2. HL2 and TF2 look awesome, Portal not so much. I want it.
|
Not me. I've already got HL2; Collectors Edition and Episode 1. Episode 2 will be shipped out with portal anyway and I dun give a crap about Team Fortress.
|
I've already got HL2, so it dosen't really look worthwhile. I'd love to get portal and the two episodes together, though.
|
I will. I have neither of those games, and I would buy it for Portal alone. That game is MINT!
|
yes i will be getting orange box
TF2 is the one i'm looking forward too the most |
I'll be getting it... it's time I find out what all that HL fuss is about :p
|
I have HL2 CSS Dunno about orange box tho.
|
Definitely, mostly for TF2, but if someone can get a proper Portal Gun SWEP for GMod I may buy it as well.
|
I've already played through HL2, and that has done little to nothing to dissuade me from buying the Orange Box.
HL2 is one of the best games ever made, and (in my opinion) is the best single player FPS experience out there, bar none. Everything... the story, the pacing, the immersion factor, the overall design... everything is simply top-notch. Every shooter fan owes it to themselves to play it through at least once. But that's almost beside the point. You get a classic game, two five-hour expansions for it, an innovative puzzle game, and the return of one of the most fun class-based games ever made all in one box. You just don't see value like that in the game industry anymore. It's a steal at $60. Personally, I'm looking forward to TF2 more than anything. Can't wait to get my "Spy" on. Word. |
I'll put a big ditto all over that.
|
Oh, me and a pal just adore the Thermophile and Long Ranger from Conker Live And Reloaded, I have a feeling some much fun will be had with the sniper and Pyro that way.
Oh, Heavy Weapons Guy and Spy FTW. |
TF2 is awesome. I'm actually best at the class I would thought I wouldn't play as, the demo man. Also can kill alot with the Pyro.
|
TF2
*drools* I would love to get it but sadly i don't have the money :( |
I already have the Orange Box. Portal is fun...I haven't really played TF2 much. But it is awesome! I like the spy.
|
*coughblarghurmcoughahchrtyaurghcough!!*
Other then that, Epi 2 is a great continuation of the Half Life universe. Many more questions that need to be answered. To bad ****Eli Vance***** had to die though. That was really uncalled for and just came out of fucking nowhere >_>. |
Shut up! You DO remember you get all those games for the price of one?
|
I'll get it, if I get a 360 at uni, or else when I go home for the holidays. I have Half-Life 2 already, but it barely runs on my laptop, and I prefer game-controllers anyway. That it comes with two episodes, the prodigious Portal and Team Fortress 2 (which I can hardly remember, other than a general impressed feeling from the trailer) only sweetens the deal. I feared I could never play those games at an acceptable technical performance.
|
Oh, poor Bullet Magnet, the Trix Rabbit of 360's.
|
Absolutely.
|

|
It cost $59.99 here, same as Halo and Bioshock.

|
Well... fuck me.
|
No thanks, I only fuck plastic people.
|
gah
it takes so long to download!!! i worked it our to round about 1% every 2 minutes |
Started playing Portal :D. I love that game. Go endless portals and running around endless corners. The humor in that game also owns. :D
|
GLADoS may be the most awesome computer villain of all time.
Like Hal, but better. |
Absolutely. I want GLADoS in my computer so I can talk with her. She owns. And I absolutely love that song she sings at the end.
|
The one thing that is bad about this game is the loading. Its like every 5 or ten minutes in Half Life 2. Fucking ridiculus. I would understand if the graphics were something like GoW or maybe even Halo 3, but they're not, they're much worse and you can tell Valve did a half ass job updating them.
Still an amazing game though. |
The game is still running on a 2004 engine. I think it's still looking pretty good for an already outdated engine compared to the other ones out there today. And you have to keep in mind that there are a lot of scripted actions in the game that need to be loaded in, huge outside enviorments, lots of chatter, stuff like that. And if you're loading every 5 minutes then try upping the difficulty level a bit...
|
Thats just it, its a 2004 engine, it should not require this much loading at all. I don't know what the difficulty would do, but default is set on hard and I haven't changed it as of yet. Halo 3 had some fairly large environments, and it never stopped the game to load. It had chatter from both enemies and allies as well. Don't know about scripted actions or whatever.
|
Halo 3 loaded after every level? What are you talking about? O.o
I think the reason why it's so noticeable in Half Life 2 is because it loads as you progress. It just smacks a loading message in your face as you walk down a corridor. I don't think it loads any longer then it should. |
It takes longer to load each time it creates a new map.
Scripted actions in Halo would be a U ship landing at a certain time. |

"Remember that time when I was like 'Goodbye' and you were all like 'NO WAAAY' and then I was all like 'I pretended to murder you'? Those were good times." I'm absolutely loving TF2. My favorite character is actually the Demoman, surprisingly enough. I'm not usually a big fan of token "explosives" guy, but he's a ton of fun to play. I thought I would like the Spy and Engineer the most, but they're overplayed. I swear, there are games where a whole team is just Spies and Engees. |
:
1. "The Enrichment center will always give useful advice in case of a dangerous test chamber. For instance. The floor here will kill you. Try to avoid it." 2. "If at first you don't succeed, you fail." |
I ahm a black scottish cyclops fuh cryin' out loud!
The engineer will inevatibly be my best class, by support features alone. |
I own the Orange Box since today and I only played Portal in 2,6 hours to the end (says Steam) and the Game feeling was great! No one game since Prey could let me sit so long on the PC how Portal,the story is great and to the end very funny too, it´s as funny as the story of an Oddworld game (there are littel shooting towers,they say that they like you and then they shoot you down and say sorry and many other funny sentences so on .. xD ) , I love Portal :) . The Graphic Effects are great (not how Unreal Tournament 3 BETA,but quite great). I like the wipe effect if you move your look to fast and in the Game there are many other Quests (for example "play the game and kill all cameras; fall 9.000 kilometers down ;and so on..) and there are extra levels too , which you can choose.
PS: I played the german version, I don´t know if the voice sounds in english are as funny as in german,but I think it is. I don´t need sex anymore, I have Portal ! |
OMG you fail. :P
If Portal has the best story to date of any game you have played then you need to play more games. The story in Portal, though funny and cute, was anything but fantastic. In fact it has a few holes in it which I can't figure out. I have beaten every advanced level and waiting for some mod made ones. I also tried to do the fall 30.000 feet achievement but haven't received it as of yet :P. EDIT: On a much more sad note. I just found out someone has written erotic fan fiction about Portal... It creeped me out!!!! |

My favourite class on TF2 is the Medic. I somehow manage to get many kills with him and heal lots of people at the same time. My second favourite is probably the spy or the sniper because they both are sneaky and evil and own everything when used right. My least favourite class would be the soldier cause I suck as him for some reason.
Also the Heavy rules but I only use him when I'm seeking revenge... |
