The Orange Box is'nt a "GREAT DEAL"

I am sooo tired of people saying that the Orange Box is a GREAT DEAL. "Oh wow!! 5 GAMES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!!" You can't beat that!!" It isnt 5 FULL games. The only entire game on there is Half Life 2.....Ok.....

Half Life 2: The entire game is on here with "updated" graphics.....but still looks a little dated FULL GAME

Half Life 2 Episode 1: EXPANSION of Half Life 2

Half Life 2 Episiode 2:EXPANSION of Half Life Episode 1

Portal: Have nothing negative to say about this one. Awesome Addicting game......BUT.....it is very short. Can easily be beaten in a day or two.

Team Fortress 2: Some people might enjoy this but it got old to me VERY VERY fast. And it's also a pretty shallow multiplayer. You only get a couple game modes.

It isnt 5 full length games. I'm not a huge Half Life fan....so I gave this a rental and Portal is my absolute favorite in this package. Portal is awesome but, being that the game is too short and Slob Newell being an annoying fat, disgusting pig.....$60 just doesnt cut it.

So you dislike a game simply because one of the developers doesn't look how you think he should look. Don't call yourself a gamer ever again.

Yet those expansions have more value than Heavenly Sword or Uncharted :S And TF2 not holding your atention is just a failure on your part. They have ritalin for that.

Saying this might get me suspended but I don't care: Your opinion is poopy! POOPY I said!

$60 just doesnt cut it.

Gage_Creed

$60? Oh, I see. You got it on X-Box. No wonder you dislike it so much. PC is the only way to go for Half-Life buddy!

:lol:

its more then worth the money

Half-Life 2: 10-12 hours and one of the best fps games ever, hands down

Episode 1: 5-6 hours. pretty good, slow at parts, but good

Episode 2: 6-8 hours. excellent, amazing battles. amazing story. again, has its slow moments, but when it picks up...:D

Portal: 3 hours. amazing all around. just great

Team Fortress 2: Until you get bored. yea you can lose interest kind of quick since everybody plays the same 2 maps, not that there were many to begin with. but the mods make it nice. played a modmap one night where it took 2 1/2 hours for one team to score. wasnt a giant map, but a good stalemate map. you had to work for it. some of the stock maps are too easy.

Orange Box is amazing. and the funny thing is, even though HL2 is 3 years old, almost 4, its still better, especially in story, and better looking then many of todays games. it far surpasses halo 3 in every way.

Half-Life 2 - $29.95

Episode 1 - $19.95

Episode 2 - $29.95

Portal - $19.95

Team Fortress 2 - $29.95

You get all that for $49.95 (the price of the orange box) not $60

And calling Gabe a fat pig... you are disturbed, buddy.

jup, When you get Half Life 2 for the pc you aren't just getting Half Life 2. You are getting tons of quality mods.

Gage_Creed

You are correct sir. Paying $60 for an 8 hour console game is a way better deal than the Orange Box. Oh wait...

Wasn't Episode 1 a little shorter than that? I think it took me 2-3h finishing it and I didn't try to make a speed run or anything like that.

[QUOTE="azshorty2003"]

Half-Life 2: (Lame by todays standards)

Episode 1: 5-6 hours. (The enitre game is slow)

Episode 2: 6-8 hours. (I was to bored to move onto this one)

Portal: 3 hours. (amazing all around. just great)

TF2 X hours (Fairly good game, lots of weaknesses)

htekemerald

you're awesome

This is a joke... right? RIGHT?!?!

Please tell me it is or my faith in humanity will be completely destroyed.

A full game on 360: 60 dollars ( half life 2)

2 expansion packs: 40 dollars ( Ep1 and 2)

a budget title: (Team Fortress) 20 dollars.

an XBL arcade game : Portal 10 dollars.

130 dollar value.

And before you say " BUT TAH PORTAL NO XBLA SOYOU IS FAIL @ L1F3 AND IS SUCK!!!!!!!!" I'm just using these as comparisons. A game with only multiplayer, that seems like a budget title, so 20 dollars. Portal is one of those crazy puzzle games you'd find on XBLA.

maybe it was. maybe it was more like 4 hours. i knew it was short, but i didnt think it was that short.

What in the hell are you talking about? Annoying fat, disgusting pig? That guy could buy and sell everyone you know. He has achieved A TON in his lifetime. I can guarantee that you will not achieve even a tenth of what he has. You will never know wealth or success. How about that?

It may be a good deal but i cant help but feel that the games are overrated. Playing Half-life 2 through feels like a chore and it seems so boring and lifeless to me. TF2 is ok but just so limited in gametypes that i haven't got much playtime out of it and i suppose i should give portal another go but i just dont feel like it. It may have something to do with mass effect coming out and that being the best game i have played in a long time but i just haven't got my money's worth out of OB. I blame all of you on here for hyping it up because when i played it i couldn't help but be disappointed damn you all.

The funny thing is i have actually got more playtime out of Halo 3 because itsgood fun when you have a few mates round. I'm not saying HL2 is a crap game it just didn't hold my interest and surely thats exactly what a game is supposed to do.

lol i've been playing Mass effect actually its an amazing game. It felt like i was watching a movie in some places.

I wish the TC would get hit by a fast moving semi truck only to later be resurrected and kill his own mother and then finally be permanently laid to rest by his father.

I'm sorry you paid a whopping $60 for a game that doesn't have any pink lazers in it.

Really.

I'm being so sincere right now.

PEW PEW

HAHAHA!! I love it.....you know this is all hilarious to me right?? Keep em comin!! I LOVE these replies!!

It is a great deal... Just because they aren't actual full games, you could get more out of the two expansions then you could out of most full games getting released lately... Not to mention that the full game Half-Life 2 is probably one of the best FPS ever and is pretty damn long. The two expansions add on plenty more content, and especially for someone who hasn't played HL it is an incredible deal. If you think this is a bad deal, then what do you think is a good deal? I don't think there is a deal that could beat this one..

Oh also this isn't 60 dollars, only on consoles. You can get it easily for 40 dollars for PC. Even better of a deal.

This is an odd thread. Half Life 2 rocks blocks, man.

Hell, you could take an ACTUAL Box of orange cardboard and it would be a better deal than most games nowadays. :D

I made a blog post awhile back complaining about Black Box getting canned. THAT would have been a great deal.

I ended up getting Orange Box on black friday for $25 at Best Buy. I've been happy with it so far.

TF2 needs more maps though.

PC version has over 50 custom maps released. Sucks to own OB on 360...

GageCreed needs a lesson in what isn't a great deal. Here's the lesson.

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=230213

A 2.0 rated game that is like 1 1/2 to 2 times the price of the real game. Now that is a bad deal.
