Povuholo Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I'm getting The Orange Box in a month or so, and I was wondering if anyone here played 'it' already? What do you think about the games? Any favourites? Portal sounds fun, I heard it's a little short though. No spoilers please. :)
Xolair Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Heh, one of my pals was generous enough to give me a Black Box key (includes Ep.2, TF2, DoD: Source etc.), since he had a spare one. The download isn't finished yet, but I'm intrigued to see the game(s). :D
Community Manager Dark0ne Posted October 26, 2007 Community Manager Posted October 26, 2007 I'll probably get TF2 in time for i32 where everyone will be playing it from the WoW guilds I am friendly with. Personally I'm not really an endorser of Valve products.
Marxist ßastard Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 It was a triumphI'm making a note here: huge success!
Guss Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 I think that Orange Box is very cool. Portal is a short, cool, and fun to play. TF2 is one of the funnest valve games I have played so far, I think you will like it. [They have started an achievement system for the Orange Box games "This shouldn't be a spoiler to you but If it is, I am very sorry."]
Septim741 Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 It looks really good. PCGamer had a cover story on the Orange box a few months back, and while it was a good issue (Orange is my fav color), I didn't feel anything telling me to buy it, interesting as it was. I think it lacks some of the "umph!" that Half-Life and Counter Strike had when they came out together.
ZombieToast Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 wow. just wow. the orange box has to be one of the best combination of wonderfull games ever. if you have never played half-life 2, then you have to. your really missing out. it only got better from half-life and will not disapoint!! and the episodes are just as fun. in fact, EP2 is probably my favorite out of the four half-lifes. with the hunters and the new vehicle, plus the pretty fun and challenging final boss battle. i cannot wait for EP3. it's going to be awesome (hoping!! (though no doubt really)). and the thing about portal. after i played through it i decided to go through the commentary modes for the games and come to find out, portal is really just an experiment. valve is testing out that type of gameplay, possibly for EP3 (thats what i think anyway!) or maybe even a whole new game. portal may be short but it is way fun and hilarious! with the all mighty narative super computer GLaDOS and of course, "stay alive" the ending credits song sung by our very own GLaDOS, which i've seen Marxist ßastard coulnd't help but quote a part of it. that is a must play also. and team fortress 2 is pretty fun, i havn't been able to get online to play it but from what i played just by myself, it seemd like it would be quite fun to play online.
PaulEmil Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Plus it is the best value package this side of Xen.
Guest Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 The orange box is very fun!I can reccomend you Portal and Team Fortress 2 :)
HellKnightX88 Posted December 18, 2007 Posted December 18, 2007 I don't think I'll get it, I hate the idea of buying 4-5 hour episodes instead of full games.
