Anyone Else NOT getting orange box?

[milesl]

Let me start off by saying,If you love Half life 2 and all the expansions...good for you.I wish I did too.I loved Half Life 1 Bought Op4 and blue shift ect... I ran out and bought Half Life 2 on release day and was sorely disappointed by it.It has some great moments,but most of it was missing something.It just didn't pull me in like Half life 1 did.Also having issues with steam was a major let down.
I never bought ep1.EP2 does not excite me.Portal doesn't look that interesting,and I was never a big fan of team fortress,so tf2 just looks like cartoony graphics on a team fortress game.
With everyone talking about orange box,I can't help but feel I am the only person on earth not interested in it and not buying it.
Anyone else not getting orange box?

Not getting it.
Maybe when its down to a 20.00 price or so.
UT3 is coming very soon , and that has my interest a lot more, since I am heavily into modding game engines.

 

[MarcVenice]

Not getting it either. Call me blasphemous but I only really liked Half Life 1, after that it didn't do to much for me anymore, I liked CS better anyways

 

[pontifex]

HL 2 was blah at best.

I really like TF2 even though it can be pretty frustrating. Portal looks cool but I bet the novelty wears off pretty quickly.

I am HL2 Fanboy... we all have different tastes

 

[Inspector Jihad]

so wait, you don't like the game so you're not going to buy it? thats insane.

 

[RandomFool]

Whereareallthespaces?

I bought it, but I agree HL2 < HL1. I did enjoy HL2 but I couldn't even beat HL2 because the game made me feel sick playing it. I haven't even installed Lost Coast or Ep1 maybe someday I'll get around to them.

I never played the game Orange Box nor do I plan to play games named "Box", "Set", or "Package" any time soon.

 

[Bateluer]

I enjoyed HL2 as much as any other shooter. Typically get bored with them well before I even get close to beating the game.

Odds are, I'll pick up the Orange Box when its in the 20 dollar range. Valve would keep more interest in their episodal content if they kept to a stricter release schedule of say 3 months between HL2 episodes.

I'm just waiting for individual ones for a low price.

 

[KeithTalent]

I'm not getting the orange Box...I got the Black Box with my video card, so I don't need it.

I am a huge HL2 fanboi as well, there are only 2 games I've replayed more than HL2, Hitman 2 and Deus Ex, but I love them all almost equally.

Teamfortress doesn't appeal to me because of the cartoony graphics. I'm never in the mood for a cartoony first person shooter.

People who talk about how it's a good value seem to think that HL2 is worth $40, Episode 2 is worth $30, and that the puzzle game is worth $40, and TF2 is worth $40. In reality, HL2 is old enough to be worth $20, I'd value the episode at $10, and TF2 at $20 considering what it is.

 

[Stas]

I love HL2. One of my favorite games. After beating it 5 times, I'm just stuck on CSS. Orange Box, to me, brings nothing worth spending my money on. Well, I will get Episode 2 whenever it's available by itself.

 

[Engraver]

TFC was my favorite FPS for a long time. I decided to order it even though I probably won't even play Episode 2 until I get really really really bored, and even though only a little.

 

[xdreadpiratedoug]

I only bought TF2 ... Episodic content failed with me, because SiN got f'ed over cause of it.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

Not getting it. I love Half-Life 2, but TF2 looks like kind of a gimmick. Portal looks cool, but it's probably not really lasting. I'm looking forward to UT3.

 

[Canai]

I'm not not getting it, in that I already did. Am I disqualified from posting in this thread?

 

[Maximilian]

Im getting it.

 

[Sniper82]

Got it weeks ago. TF2 is worth the price alone. The rest is icing on the cake.

A gimmick? Just because of the graphics?

 

[imported_Imp]

Mainly getting it for TF2. TFC is one of the few games where would actually dominate, even when I was going up against LPBs with my 56k. Episode 2 I want for "continuation" of the story since I bought EP1 for $20... Grrr..

 

[mooncancook]

I want to get it coz Fry's has it for $36, and Gamespy gave the X360 version a 5 star review. but then I still haven't finished HL2 coz it also gives me motion sickness

 

[mode101wpb]

I just wonder if Episode Two is worth $29.95, I only paid $19.99 for Episode One.

Expansion packs at most $20 is fair...

 

[rodrigu3]

hrmm... 10 dollars for a game that looks better and has a better story than most of the new $50 games out there... yeah ok

 

[waggy]

nope.

unless it drops to around $10 then maybe.
