you wouldn't even be waiting for it to be released if you were unemployed..
you probably couldn't afford it :D
unless someone else pays everything for you...

It's really none of your business, but fortunately, I had some money saved up from my last job. Enough for a nice little vacation! Plus, I've got a little DJ gig going on the side which pays for all the fun stuff! I've paid my dues and am doing just fine!

Re: HL2 Release!!!
 
I'll probably pick up std. retail HL2 today. I would have gotten the Steam version, as I could be playing it right now, but I'd rather physically have the game and the box and whatnot.

stefanhendriks 16-11-2004 21:54

Re: HL2 Release!!!
 
friend of mine bought it in store for 50 euro's.... but thats the 'normal' version (retail).

Crap, and I was just about to leave to pick up my copy.


I kind of figured that the servers were going to get raped like this and crash.

Heyyo,

Oh no doupt HangFire, this's even more massive than when Steam was first released, it's like the next major milestone of Steam.

I have to wait a while before staples finally gets HL2.... :(

biohazerd87 17-11-2004 00:49

Re: HL2 Release!!!
 
if you bought it off steam then it could cost up to 80 buts thats only cause it comes with everygaem they make plus a bunch of merchendise



OMG THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER

Re: HL2 Release!!!
 
Started playing.. 8:15am GMT yesterday (Restarted @ 8am, 15mins to sort files).. Finished 15 hours later.. MY GOD MAN, the time went past so fast, i was hooked, and going nowhere :D

It is AMAZING.. if you havnt already.. GET IT!

HangFire 17-11-2004 05:15

Re: HL2 Release!!!
 
Bought it, installed it, played it.


First of all, yeah this game is awesome. Best of 2004.

Second, Steam didn't give me too much grief. It couldn't verify my CD key, but it let me play anyway. Damn... This game is spectacular.


Now to go blast some more combine.

And if you're curious as to what mods are planned, go here:

[Mod DB listing of HL2 mods.]


There is a mountain of zombie killing mods planned. I hope at least a couple of them manage to make a playable release.

The gravity gun!!!
You can pick up and throw any physics prop object!!!

Explosive Barrels

Explode when thrown on contact.
================================================== =====
Circular saw blades!!!

Pwned!!!
You can also grab objects from a distance!
barrels, cans, bottles, weapons, health kits, boxes, etc...
The only thing I don't like is the fact that you cannot pick up and throw dead bodies (ragdolls)...

TruB 17-11-2004 10:28

Re: HL2 Release!!!
 
how about just drop.. if you dont want the throw it anymore..

dead bwoy 17-11-2004 11:29

Re: HL2 Release!!!
 
yup, you can stack objects that way.

HangFire 17-11-2004 14:33

Re: HL2 Release!!!
 
I've been building things in this game every chance I get. Its awesome building a little fort to protect yourself from zombies, or barricading the combine out of a room.


Also, anyone get up the part where you first get friendly turrets? I kept all the turrets, and painstakingly dragged them along untill I amassed seven turrets. Its like a firing squad of miniguns when you aim them all at a single door.


Its 7:30 am, and I still plan on playing till about noon (sleep is for the weak willed, and the healthy). As soon as the SP is beat HL2 is going to collect dust until some multiplayer mods come out.

Anything but more Counter-Strike I'd play. Even if it was vanilla deathmatch I'd jump at the chance to play it. With the right group of people, you could organize special game modes, like grav gun wars.



EDIT: Oh, and this sums up the first few minutes of the game (at least for me).
