Are all the others games that arent half life 1, 2 and episode 2 worth getting in the half life complete bundle? Never played half life so thinking of getting the main games from the series

:eek:

Opposing Force and Blue Shift were HL1 expansion packs and let you play as one of the soldiers and security guards respectively that you'll have come across in HL1 itself.

As expansions they don't quite live up to HL1 itself but the story and setting are so good they really add to the whole universe.

HL2 and Episodes 1 & 2 are simply outstanding.

On the note of Half Life 1 and the addons, I got that Half Life Generation pack a while back on disc. Is it possible to use this in Steam and get the HD addons?
I know Steam came after but thinking maybe can identify them somehow and pick them up as purchased through steam?

Anyone reckon Dragon Age: Origins will go cheaper than what it currently is? Very tempted, but played it already on 360 and that's what's stopping me! Have SS2 sitting there waiting for a buddy to be bought with.

I have it on the 360 too, but from what I hear it is far, far superior on the PC. I'd definitely have gotten it again if I had a good enough PC for it... Though, I'd be pissed during that one bit that sucks

the fade bit that overstays its welcome

but would get over it when playing The Awakening again.

Half Life 3 at +200%*.

Is it me, or there are feck all civ 5 cards?! I am getting nothing in search, but I can get for other stuff...

What are you searching? Civilization, Civilization V or Civilization 5? I'd suggest not going with the last one. It didn't do anything for game search for me last night.

Oh, and know how I said I wouldn't play the demo for Civilization V last night? Well, best laid plans. It worked on my PC at least the vanilla game. No real issues when I was actually playing. Didn't tweak any of the settings from the demo. Did get two scares in start up though. Got two not responding things. I just let it try to resolve the issue both times, and it did. Had a lot of fun with it.



* Sorry, I'm joking. Don't ask me how I know that those of you saying "Sure, deal."

try and put the code from the box into Steam and there is a strong chance of getting the entire Half Life 1 collection

Great stuff, now the Mark of the Ninja awaits.

Yeah, actually. Will get that now. If it doesn't work well (hey, be ready for anything) then I'll have it for whenever I upgrade.

Might opt for just a few then. Not too keen on extra cash and weapons etc. since that might spoil the game first time around.

Nightmare at North Point, Year of the Snake and Zodiac Tournament are the main ones.

Hmm, well if Im getting those I might as well get the complete bundle. Although it seems to be missing Half-Life Deathmatch: Source

Just had a look at the forums, doesnt look like i would be missing anything.

Bah, went ahead and got the lot on the recommendation of someone on another forum

AFAIK only HL1 one was ported to the Source engine. The rest run on the old HL1 engine - a heavily customised Quake engine.

They'll look a bit dated but after about 10 minutes you won't notice or care and then when you play opposing force and blue shift you won't have a sudden drop in quality that can be off-putting.

Off topic, but HL related, I have original launch discs for HL1, OF, & BS...can I use those cd-keys to redeem the games on Steam?

Not sure but I suppose it can't hurt to put them in anyway and see what happens.

Yes, you can.

Vojera

Do you reckon there's any chance of Cave Story+ going under 75%-off? According to Enhanced Steam, the current price is the lowest they've ever sold it at.

(Also, I know I have the sale-bug now because I'd have snapped it up for that price in a second if it was a normal midweek madness or something like that )

I can also confirm this. I only have the launch disk for HL1 and it also gave me Opposing Force and Blue Shift, which I had never played.

just enter one and it should give you all the games and then offer the other keys on here as it should do the same

I was wondering about that. I have a copy of Half Life from years ago, but I do have Opposing Forces and Blue Shift as well on Steam, even though I definitely never purchased either.

It supports the idea that it's the dead island highlight day.

EDIT: This is the source they gave.

Kinda hope it's different, I'm still waiting for Elder Scrolls: Oblivion to get a good drop.

I was about to post this myself just seen it on Reddit, I wouldn't mind picking up Fallen Enchantress @66-75% off if indeed it is true

Has it not dropped to €5 yet?

Angron

Nope, every time I've checked it's still been the 40% off, so the deluxe edition (all the DLC) is €15.

MitchKoobski

Those are definitely today's daily deals. Popped up on Steam's twitter account for a few minutes earlier.

Well it must be true then since that's the steam news page....

Bit stupid putting so many games up on daily deals that were already in flash sales.

gavmcg92

Means I can pick up tropico after I missed it the other day.
