Does the ORANGE BOX still suffer from the problems it had at launch?

I found the xbox360 and pc version seem to be rated much higher than the PS3 version, garnering a 96 on metacritic while the ps3 version has a 89. Now, I looked into some reviews and noticed the beef many journalists had with the game were a bad framerate. This is a major negative for me.

So has Valve released any fixes on the game which makes the ps3 version just as good as the other versions(at least in terms of framerate).

Aw man, so I guess I should wait until I get a new computer. I don't want to play the game on any less than maximum detail which my comp simply cant handle.

512 mb ram, 2.4 ghz intel 4, two old speakers, old lcd (max res 1280 by 1024), 40 gb hardrive

Thanks alot for the info guys.:D

It was patched. It only stuttered twice for me through all of HL. Boring besides Portal IMO.Deathtransit

Really? Half-Life 2 is one of the most acclaimed games of last generation. Thats strange....

HL2 = OW! My eyes! Why does my head hurt so much?! Why do I feel the urge to puke out my organs?

Well, that's how it was on PC anyways:P Couldn't even play it.

Frame rate has always bothered me. I can play most FPS games. But HL2 made me feel like I was going to die. It was that bad:? Even had to lay down for a couple of hours:lol:

Lol, I actually have gotten motion sickness myself. Worst case being where I got severely sick after playing Twisted MEtal Black for 30 minutes.:P

Not at all. I played through HL2 PS3 twice and never got ANY slowdow.. There was the occasional freeze when you transitioned through a load area on vehicles but it only lasted half a second and there are no enemies present in the load areas. episode 1 & 2 also had no issues. I have no idea what GS & other sites are using for review purposes but none of the mentioned issues were present in my copy. the package is worth it for Portal alone. I've been a HL junkie since I played the first one on PS2 and HL2 is every bit as good. Buy it now!!8)

I got motion sickness when I played the original Xbox version of Half-Life 2 for some odd reason.K1LLR3175

I too am a victim of Half-Life 2 motion sickness. It's strange, because no other games make me sick like it.

awe man dont even wanna begin to think that, If I remember correctly the Ps2 only has 32Mb ram and 4mb of Video memory under its hood LoL

I hadn't had any problems with Orange Box except with Team Fortress 2... I tried for days to get into a game when I first got it and it wouldn't happen. Didn't think TF2 was that great anyway when I played it on Xbox 360, but it's nonetheless irritating that Valve is so arrogant as to release a broken product and then do little to nothing about it.
