Hm, I only played the first half life game and the oodles of mods that were around :) After that, I bought the second one after playing the demo... only to find out I needed an internet connection, which I didn't have :|
I liked #2 and #3 as well, though I have no idea what the third one was called... I don't have an Asian language pack installed... maybe in the next PC, when I have the RAM to have it loaded all the time....
Ah, such a shame! The story actually gets real interesting from part 2 onwards. The world has changed ever since the Black Mesa incident and the story continues outside the facility. A group of scientists oppose the new world order, and dr. Freeman helps them. And then there G-Man of course... You're working for him, but his objective are still a mystery. So, have you played Portal?
If you're interesting in knowing what the title says, I just translated it. It says "Promises".
Sure, I played the first one from a friends Orange pack... I just felt insulted I couldn't play one-player, without having to show my digital papers, like in Nazi controlled territory :p But I get it, it's the bandwidth of the internet... just download something in 2 hours, and takes around a hundred to complete, so what if you're on a binary leash?
I just need a physical copy of things :\ Why buy a computer with a pre-installed OS, when Gob knows something goes wrong and you need it... and not some crappy 3rd party OEM disc neither :|
I never actually thought of that! When I decided to get Steam, I only wanted to keep in contact with an online buddy of mine. Then over the years, Steam tempted me into buying a shitload of cheap games. I never gave much about having a physical copy, so it actually had a lot of pro's for me. Oh, but I heard that back in the day, there was a limit to how often you could download a purchased game, and you were forced to buy it again. All of this must have changed since the hat business :P
Shit, last century, you could legally make copies of your software, in case the floppy died! Too bad that practice didn't survive with CD, especially after they went with the thinner discs (the old ones had the media right in the middle of the plastic, to protect the pressed gold film). My buddy, who owned a movie rental place, stomped the hell out of an old DVD and it played fine afterwards
Haha that's awesome. Everything's made to be broken these days ):
