I haven't yet and don't plan to until i have money to build a gaming PC and play the full Half-Life series (probably not for another couple of years). I'll probably just buy the Valve Complete Pack when I do.

You could be dead by then... without having played Half-Life.

No reason to play past Opposing Force anyways. It's all downhill from there.

you must be a real hit at parties.

The HL2 games are great but I liked HL1 and OP much better. May just be nostalgia, who knows. I remember being slightly disappointed by HL2 when I first played it near launch.

 

[teacupcopter]

NIN90, sadly you are wrong it goes

HL2 > HL1 > Ep 2 > OF > Ep 1 > Blue shift (what)

Half Life 2 is just a work of art even today
Half life 1 blew my mind when it came out, doesn't hold up as well today but not many fps from that era do
Ep 2 is the best expansion ever made
OF was good but overrated
ep 1 was too short
blue shift was sad

Preferring Half-Life 1 is perfectly reasonable. But Half-Life 2 is still one of the greatest games ever made (and it's held up better than HL1).

 

[OgTheClever]

If you can run Morrowind you can clearly run the original Half-Life at maximum settings!

I'm not doubting I can the original but I'd prefer to play the full set of games at the same time. After suffering through Portal on minimum settings with a very mixed frame rate, I'd prefer to wait so i can experience HL2 in its full glory.

 

[erpg]

HL1 and 2 are completely different beasts. I like HL1 because of it's quick controls, bunny hops and perilous jumps. I'm not speedrunner, but I have enjoyed hopping through a level with any deaths. I like HL2 because it has damn great characters (except Gordon) and environments. Gunplay and movement isn't as fun as the first (hate the massive forward momentum), but its setpieces are as good if not better than the first (under the bridge, Ravenholm, car parks).

It sounds like you should have upgraded 6 years ago.

Man fuck the haters, Blue Shift was still great in my book. I love the Half-Life 1 gameplay (which has aged a bit) and Blue Shift is just more of that goodness. It doesn't have as many awesome setpieces as HL1 or Opposing Force, but I'm a huge Barney fan, sue me.

Haha I must admit I wasn't as into PC gaming when someone gave me blue shift and I had only played 4 pc games before really

Half Life and the expansion opposing force
starcraft and the expansion brood war

so blue shift was possibly the most underwhelming thing ever

But considering it started life as just an add on for the dreamcast port (RIP) it's good

 

[Twig]

Blue Shift is definitely the worst of the Half-Life games (though I haven't tried Decay), but it's still Half-Life, and thus still fun.

 

[FLEABttn]

I played Blue Shift before the rest of them, so it was good coming into it from nothing.

Blue Shift is good. As with any game that ties in with the HL universe. Decay is forgettable at best, but seeing that stuff in OP/HL? is kind of weird.

The girls dead body in the middle of Xen wtf

 

[Basileus777]

bought ESIV, damn good price.

Are these mods essential that I should download before starting the game?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275247

It's a solid list. Which mods to recommends depends on how far you want to go down the rabbit hole. Oblivion modding can get pretty crazy, but I probably wouldn't recommend things like FCOM if you've never modded the game before.

This is probably the most comprehensive mod list/tutorial I've seen.

EA Week

Today's deal: Crysis and Crysis Warhead 50% off

 

[avatar299]

Did the Morrowind deal just die?

 

[Morbid Angel]

Crysis Warhead is only 7,5 euros. Woah!

I hope there is a Dead Space deal one of these days. I still haven't played that.

 

[panda21]

EA Week

Today's deal: Crysis and Crysis Warhead 50% off

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

been holding off on buying this for so long

 

[Morokh]

I'm angry because I bought Oblivion's GOTY 3 weeks ago, but .... Morrowind is mine again xD (OMG just in time ! O_O )

Anyone has a good list of all the good graphic overhaul mods for it ?

 

[Spwn]

Did the Morrowind deal just die?

It's Monday. Weekend is over!

 

[The_Inquisitor]

EA Week

Today's deal: Crysis and Crysis Warhead 50% off

Oh wow. I may buy this to play on my new rig this xmas. Think it will get any cheaper than this over next 6 months?

 

[Edgeward]

EA week? If Dragon Age is on sale, FFFFUUUUUU I may double dip on it.

 

[Boonoo]

Oh wow. I may buy this to play on my new rig this xmas. Think it will get any cheaper than this over next 6 months?

Maybe during the holiday sale. Hard to beat 20 for both, though.

 

[Aon]

C+C Day
Burnout Paradise to coincide with new Criterion NFS
Spore
Dead Space/Mirrors Edge/ ME1

Then when you take into account the Crysis day, there's no need for a DA sale.

Really hope there is one though.

 

[Killthee]

EA Week

Today's deal: Crysis and Crysis Warhead 50% off

Guess DA sale is gonna be sometime this week.

EA week? If Dragon Age is on sale, FFFFUUUUUU I may double dip on it.

It seems like it.

Its possible that Dragon Age: Origins, Awakenings will be going the weekend sale tomorrow. They were just added to the registry. Usually games that have been released for sometime are added due to an impending sale.

Edit: Looks like Valve will be releasing a Battlefield collection soon which includes BF2 & BF:BC 2

 

[Lime]

I hate when "Complete Packages" are the same price as when you buy each game.

 

[Volcynika]

Valve, you really make this too easy!

Monday: Crysis
Tuesday: Military
Wednesday: C&C
Thursday: Racing
Friday: Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Spore
Saturday: Mass Effect
Sunday: Dragon Age

Edited to remove images, we know what they are

 

[Morbid Angel]

Dead Space hell yeah!

/cheapass

 

[Tenks]

Man how'd you break Steam's cypher!

 

[Boonoo]

oh ho! sneaky devil.

Friday is a biggie!

 

[Volcynika]

I'm going to make it where they don't upload these images early anymore :lol

Spoiler

Look at the urls!

 

[Firebrand]

Mass Effect 2

:lol Ordered this today on disc because of the crazy high Steam price but said to myself "now it's gonna go on sale for sure". Can we expect as much as 50% off?

 

[Twig]

Hope Spore is super cheap.

And, why not, Dragon Age/Mass Effect 2.

 

[Aaron]

Rad. I hope it works with the Steam release!

(to the other person who mentioned it, the Fallout exe may be untouched by Steam. I'm pretty sure that you can launch it without Steam running)

edit: Even if it works, it apparently breaks GFWL so no stupid useless achievements

Quoted the wrong thing, but your saves are just in a different location. You only need to copy them into the proper directory. Just make a save after disabling live, and do a search to find the two directories.

 

[speculawyer]

EA, why don't you take the opportunity to bring more games to Steam.

Specifically, I want to see you bring the entire Medal of Honor library to Steam. Then again, perhaps you are saving it up to offer it right before you ship the latest MoH.


C'mon EA . . . you've got a massive back catalog. Monetize it.

 

[Vastag]

I was going to buy Crysis but... 5 machine activation limit, damn, no way.

if Awakenings is at least 50% off on Sunday I will be happy

 

[Pein]

Crysis maximum edition is bought, been wanting to buy a game to test out my new laptop

 

[vocab]

Crysis is still too expensive, and still has DRM. Fuck that noise. I just want Mirrors Edge.

:lol Ordered this today on disc because of the crazy high Steam price but said to myself "now it's gonna go on sale for sure". Can we expect as much as 50% off?

33% at most.

 

[blackMamba1187]

Yup I have been, and will continue to wait for a reasonable price on the expansion.

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

Dogfighter has been released for $12.74. Looks like an interesting flight game.

[ClovingWestbrook]

I'm expecting Need for Speed: Undercover to go real cheap. It was added to the registry as well. Its currently $9.99 so maybe $1.99 or $2.99

 

[drizzle]

What does "Military" means?

And why did you remove the banners?

Edit: Mirror's Edge has to be 2,50 at least (same price as xmas sale). Let's hope for a Dead space + mirror's edge bundle for 5 bucks

 

[Wallach]

Fuckin' assholes, I just bought Crysis:ME less than a week ago.

 

[Bisonian]

BF:BC2, BF2 Complete Collection and MoH Airborne
