Been playing all weekend, pretty orgasmic game.:happy:

Really good game, but too short....

[Seedler]

It's only supposed to demonstrate the new heavily upgraded Source Engine with added HDR and new facial rendering.

:dabs: no it isn't

it's an experiment in seeing if offering games bit by bit gets more money than full releases :pinch:

Yup, that's pretty much it.

Now that you mention it:

It's supposed to be a "trilogy", so each episode priced at $20 would generate $60!!!

And who would pay $60 for just one big expansion?:blink:

Farkin Steam Rshwholes.:dry:

I have the pvn release anyways, it's not like I paid for it. Did have a couple of missing textures, but meh, it's free:happy:

Tell me the setting you used to run the game and the fps you received using those settings.:)

Way too freakin' short. I mean it pretty much is the definition of 'short but sweet', but there's no way i think it's worth the £18 i paid. About 4 1/2 hours gameplay of just single player content....hmmm...

Well said! :)

Mostly is about what you said...

I've beaten the game weeks ago in about 2 and half hours :lol:
I don't know, i just prefer the bigger games that got more your attention :cool:

It isn't. It's a short continuation of the previous story that doesn't require the original to play.

this is my best game

Just imagine all the time it takes for concept art, storyline, then actual rendering/creation of the graphics. I wonder how much these people make...

Like what mike45450 (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/members/mike45450-9721) said
it [is] pretty much...the definition of 'short but sweet'

i beat it earlier this year like a week after it came out. i think valve is releasing episodes to try something new or to keep the bitching down on a next game release. but either way there is bitching from somebody.

i still have yet to play this and still have yet to beat hl2. i'd prob beat ep1 for the simple fact that i think this is a great idea. 15 years ago i could sit in front of any game put in front of me and beat it within days no matter how long it was. lol, i remember i had a 4 day weekend and all i did was play breathe of fire 1. i beat that joker within that time. now? it would prob take me a year or maybe more. it's just i lose interest very fast. that and online fps' just rule to much and they won't let me do anything else. so, 4-5 hours of single player is ideal for me and that's worth $20. episode two has been pushed back.
