Poll: The Half Life Orange Box. Is it worth getting?

[Rylot]

surely it being old means the graphics are... aged...

Trust us, the graphics maybe a little bit dated but it isn't that old and the game play more than makes up for it.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Yes, it's worth whatever they charge you for it, even if they were to charge you $200.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Hell yes.
Some of the best games ever in that cheap package.

 

[Ekit]

YES! You get 5 amazing games for the price of 1/3 of a game.

 

[Carnagath]

Its dead cheap now...

And I never got it...

Is it worth getting?

You disgust me. But no, seriously, get it. Actually get two copies and keep the second in its wrapping in case something happens to the first.

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

Yes, it is. But don't just buy it for Half-Life. Of the three new games in the box (Ep 2, TF2, and Portal), Ep 2 is by far the worst. Very good, but it can't compete with Portal or TF2.

EDIT: On second thought:

surely it being old means the graphics are... aged...

If you're the kind of gamer whose primary concern is graphics, then maybe you shouldn't get the box. You're probably better off with a pretty shooter that lacks any real substance. Luckily for you, there are hundreds of those released every day.

I remember when I got the orange box. I remember when my sibling LOST the orange box. I tore that room APART! And then installed to hard drive. (Xbox version)

 

[sheah1]

Well I was thinking just this so I'm definitely picking this up saturday along with Blazblue, can I get a hell yes for dirt-cheap bargains?

 

[sheah1]

Also, while I can, does anyone still play on team fortress on the PS3?

 

[Swarley]

Orange Box contains Portal and TF2. There isn't a reason not to own it.

 

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

Absolutely 100% yes, then a further 10% yes.

HELL. YES. If you buy anything. In your entire life. Make it food.

But after that, buy the orange box.

Three good games for dirt cheap, why wouldn't you? It was a good deal when it first came out full priced.

Best single player FPS ever made with two additional small chapters that continue the best single player FPS ever made, combined with the best class-based multiplayer shooter ever made and an absolutely brilliant puzzle game. It was the deal of the century at full price and you have no excuse for not owning it now that it's cheap.

Nobody likes a graphics whore.

You know what else has aged graphics? Super Mario World. And it's still a blast to play.

The games you get with The Orange Box are among my favorites ever. If you like FPS games, it is a travesty to miss this collection.

 

[daltob]

no you shouldnt. you should instead get 2 so one of your console buddies can play with you on tf2 and so you can see whos better a puzzles in portal

 

[OceanRunner]

Is this a trick question?

 

[imnot]

theres a point should i for £16
, but i already have portal and tf 2

 

[nuba km]

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

 

[mikecoulter]

I would, but strictly only on the PC. I have the 360 version and most of the games on Steam, they're far better on the PC.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

I wouldn't recommend it, but that's only because I don't see the worth in buying something you've already played. (This is personal opinion; I'd already played Half Life 2 and portal].
