I only picked up Hlf2 with the orange box, I didn't know much about the previous games and didn't really care. But when I got to playing it, it just sucked me right it and I ended up playing the game and the episodes in 1 or 2 sittings. I couldn't sit down and label each and every factor, it just all came together so well and has been 1 of my best gaming experiences to date.
Honestly I haven't experienced this, I think the core game (the combat) just keeps me really interested and doing all the extra stuff such as: arena competitions/ waging wars/ quests/ looting city's/ tons of mods/ trading between towns/ slave trading etc are just extra on top of that, which enhance the game even further. A big factor with this game is the amount of mods out, from star wars to zombie mods all keep the game fresh (my fave: hundred year war) but if you don't like the combat you aren't going to like the game since it relys so heavily on it.
Honestly I love playing these games, they act as an insight into one of the worlds most troubling times and each tell a different story . I think these pay more tribute to the war than making money from it (just as any ww2 dvd also does), they let the player experience what was like to be there...to the extent a game can.
I think it looks excellent, I like the idea of a space/horror game and dead space does fit the bill. The moment I seen the guy getting trailed into the hole by that huge worm type creature I was sold lol.
I have all 3, and have spent more time with TF2 and garrys mod because well it just offers more. But mount and blade is an excellent game and is also worth the purchase.
