I think it's time to learn to use your journal. A lot of this stuff isn't topic worthy D:

He just bought Ep1 and wants to talk about it! This is a perfectly healthy topic for general banter :)

To esmajor: Why didnt you have Ep1 already?!

Correct Luke is correct. Use the journals.

You should've just bought the Orange Box. :)

Ep1 is better than HL2 but not even close to Ep2. Ep2 is epic win.

I could have sworn this thread was closed. Maybe I'm seeing things. :\

I played Ep1 right to the end, in about 3 hours, the first day I got it, I was excited to see the continuation of the HL story. I've only replayed it twice since then, and I don't expect to do so any more times.

i assume you mean directx 8 tet, because the highest version of dx that source uses is dx9.

Ah, good old EP 1. I still remember the ending. That was epic.

No spoilers please :D

Well, I hadnt had HL2 working for a while. If you research some of my old forum postings, I had serious crash issues upon execution of the game files..... even SDK would crash. So I gave up for a while.

Orange box was too much money for me hehe. One step at a time I say. And I'm enjoying the game so far. It's a ncie lil break from my GMOD addiction

(wonders if he has GMOD-itis)

The orange box would have been a better deal,

Tf2,Hl2,ep1,ep2,portal, all for $40.00 (I think?)

There isn't much to spoil. Guess what? NOTHING GETS RESOLVED. Valve makes brilliant gameplay, but the actual story is frustrating :/ At least Ep2 has that epic battle at the end.

Now go make more campaigns for L4D like a good developer, Valve!!

The last Ep3 must be close to release now, Ep2 didn't take very long to be released after Ep1. After which, then who knows!

I wouldn't hold your breath on getting Ep 3 any time soon:

Apparently they WILL be releasing new Left4Dead content over time, like with TF2. But that probably won't start until early 2009 :(

It's kinda funny that by 2010 Source will be a six year old game engine and will probably look completely outdated, no matter how much it's souped up.

har har har! thats funny!
Posted 15 years ago2008-12-12 08:14:59 UTC Post #259795
It looks outdated now, but it's besides the point. It's becoming a much more stable and much more stylised engine with every update, and it suits Valve's design goals perfectly.
