I don't understand the prety hate either. I liked it. I even had fun with the crazy multiplayer and also have the collector's edition with the pewter figures.

I have Halflife 2 already, but not the Orange Box. Decisions, decisions.

Gah it is nothing like Left4Dead. It is a spin-off of invasion mode from UT2k3-UT2k4 with crazy monsters.Relix said:

The stupid open world shit completely spoiled a perfectly decent arcade racing series.

I'll get the Orange Box. I've read about the first Half Life so I might as well play the others.

Maybe another go tomorrow if I can start a new thread for it
I could start the thread for you if I'm around. Just say something in this thread I guess.
This is what i hate the most about steam. I'd love to have Burnout on my Steam Catalog, but i already bought the boxed version of the game back when it came out.
And i JUST bought Battlefield 2 pack (just so i could have it on steam). I'm not willing to buy a game AGAIN just for the hell of it.
Dammit, they should just let me register my game for 2,50, 5, something.

I don't even know if the Orange Box @ $15 is that great a price, seems a bit high, surely it's been cheaper?
Why is Killing Floor getting so much love but it's metacritic score only a 71? I mean, what did all the reviews complain about?
From what I played of the Prey demo a while ago, it seemed pretty fun, is it a bad game (for $2)? It has a higher score than Killing Floor :lol

I'm in the same position . . . I think I'm going to go ahead. I don't have episode 2.Leatherface said:
Do you have Team Fortress? That and Portal are DAMN good games.

If you buy the Orange Box and already own Half-Life 2 and/or Episode 1 then you can gift the extras to others fyi.
Hey I got the orange box right. :lol That's one of the games that I wanted for sale so far they are putting all of the games on my wanted list for sale so expect SFIV to be on sale soon.
Sadly, Orange Box is $5 bucks too much. Already have portal and TF2 so I am really just waiting on a HL2 deal...

Killing Floor is a co-op game where you and up to five (on default servers) other players attempt to survive wave after wave of "experiments". After each wave, you have a minute to reach the trader and purchase weapons, armor, and ammo. Wash, rinse, repeat. You have 7 unique perks which grant you various bonuses to your base character capabilities. Each of these can be leveled up by performing the specified actions, even if you don't have that perk as your active perk at the moment.Relix said:

Its a solid B+ single player FPS. Definitely worth the $2 price. Its worth noting that retail copies can be registered on Steam.
Minsc said:
I played it on 360 and rather enjoyed it. It's a pretty standard FPS that lasts 8-ish hours, the portal-esque puzzles break things up nicely and there are some nifty setpiece moments within. Definately worth a look at $2 if you are in the mood to shoot some aliens.

In for burnout paradise.. never played it on consoles.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
I'd say it is. The game isn't too complicated and people will help you out if you ask questions. So long as you're playing on one of the normal difficulty servers you should be fine.Big-E said:
Its a great game btw.

WTF? From reading his post he was wondering why the review scores were in the 70s yet it gets a lot of love here on GAF. Why the snark?
I'm with your sentiment, but I think you jumped the shark a bit.

I did originally until I editted my post to change Burnout for C&C3 a little later. Feel like a bloody idiot now! :lol

I went ahead and bought.speculawyer said:
I'm pretty sure it works like this:
You DON'T get extra copies of Lost Coast (who cares?), Team Fortress, or Portal.
You DO get extra copies of HL2, episode 1, and episode 2.

bought Burnout but already own Prey (from some 2k bundle pack, never would have bought it by itself), Killing Floor, and The Orange Box
no interest in Space Siege unless it comes free once again whenever Alpha Protocol can be pre-purchased again

And for people wondering about Killing Floor. Nothing at all like Left4Dead. If you can get over it being a bit rough on the edges. It is fantastic. It's not nearly as spam bullets like mad or you get over run by zombies. More of the, conserve, pull of shot shots, know when to use explosives, and always make sure you cover the side and can still move if you get over run. It's slower paced, but the variety of baddies make it a bit more deadly.
Might I add, Head shots, head shots, head shots. The game is extremely big on head shots. If you can't hit the head. You will suck. :lol
As I said, I'm still completely content with it for 10$(Still a bit pissy I didn't wait and saved an extra Lincoln)
Also. As Evilore said. The game is extremely well supported by the Dev. And has plenty of people playing. You really can not go wrong for 5$

You are a gentleman and a scholar, kind sir.
Wow, that's an awesomely short list, which makes me feel way better about buying things I'm interested in from this sale. Does this mean that Bioshock eventually got its DRM stripped out? And so regular STALKER doesn't have any, but the prequel does?
Also, I feel bad for anyone who ever decided to buy Age of Booty or Flock on Steam and got a big SecuROM-shape dump dropped on their doorstep as a result. :lol
