Orange Box

5 games or 1 game?

Portal. The duty is a lie.

Both good

cod4 sux
and I played it for a few weeks, more than 10 hours daily, just to be sure

it's fun for a while, then I cannot take anymore the shits in the gameplay
anyway, instant hit weapon shooter, boring

and the sp part is terrible, beside the generic hollywood blockbuster script

I don't understand why so many people like it, saying SP is great too
za many is stupid :p

it's a "take you by the hand sp", if you like that it could feel like an ok game
but if you don't give a fuck about gameplay's rythm developpers are trying to impose, and play as you wish :
-if you rush, you end up falling on a 5 or more respawning npc (sometime I felt like waking them. "ho hi guys sorry") and you're dead.
-if you camp a bit, enemies keep respawning forever and your actions are useless

enemy respawn, the new shitty next gen feature after auto healing by breathing 3 seconds
way to kill gameplay
then it makes me think crysis wasn't that bad (and then I wake up : crysis was mediocre)

yeah, I played the demo and found it awfull, treating you like a 5 years old kid; if games are to be rated, when they rate a game as M, then GAMEPLAY should be adjusted to age too, not just special effects, gore and other crappy shit (things which in fact are just meant to win the curiosity of kids, instead keeping them away from it)
best war game was Operation Flashpoint (the first one), imo

same thing. i played it really long and realized it was utter crap. CoD 1 & 2 was something that was really fun to play and even watch. 4 was just .... crap. :)

Ended up getting orange box, not too impressed with TF2 =/

Haven't played any of the other games yet.

Thanks for the help though, hopefully portal is nice to mess around with.

portal is supposed to be good

one of the most fun games ive played :)

Well I just finished giving Portal a try and it was an awesome game.

I haven't played a single player game in a very long time that i actually enjoyed playing like this one.

I'm almost done with it, sucks that it isn't a longer game but thats usually how it is with good games like this.

When you're done check out the speedruns on YouTube and proceed to start hating yourself. :>

lol i was doing them pretty fast. I only ran into one that gave me a harder time to complete.

Portal Speedrun in 18:05 1/2
Portal Speedrun in 18:05 2/2

I flipped out when I saw these, man these guys are DEFINITELY thinking with portals.

dammmmm thats some crazy shit right there lawl.

I think I only got to level 17 before i went to bed the other night. Gonna study this vid to try and do it like that :D

because it have that IN and OUT stuff ?

*shrug* i just heard ppl say it was good :P

maybe we should try it sometime, too :p

the inny/outy thing? ;)

ok ok ok knock it off here, getting off subject :P

my bad :P

damn you!
exactly when subject become more interesting... :(

I played The First Slice (the Portal demo for Nvidia owners) and it seemed real promising.

Crysis

down with TF2

TF2 isnt awesome, but cod4 isnt either. Orange box is > tho

Orange box will probably give you more play, I loved cod4 single player, no point in playing multi as it's going to be shit being realism and all.

LoL.

Realistic?

Realism meaning machine guns with different fire rates and grenades.

realistic: not being quake!

It's a lot closer to Quake than something like CS.

didnt cod1 use the quake engine?

They are all based off Q3, just the renderer is totally new. You can still wall-run and circle-jump in COD4--most players even have a few easy trickjumps to get into good spots.

Portal

portal = 1h .
tf2 multi = many h. (boring GFX)
cod4 multi = lim~ h.
:))

is it just a multiplayer decision?
cause cod4 sp is just awesome. the mp part is hard to decide, both tf2 and cod are great games, but dont appeal to every one

I bought the Orange Box just for Portal because it's awesome. :D
