The Orange Box Talk...

You guys think the game is still totally worth it ?

I was checking it out, 5 games in one is pretty good.. Shows the quality of bluray holding all these games on one disc..

I know its only a little expensive lately due to Portal 2 dropping soon.. but I found a copy new at my job for 24.99.. well, opened but new

as in fresh case, disc, booklet, all that.

Btw, anyone still play Team Fortress 2 :P ?

Portal is GREAT but its very short, HL2 etc are good and alot longer then Portal and the package is worth the money... but are you gonna play them? Black Ops comes out next week.-Hoax-

It's worth it just for Portal, although I got it for only £10. I didn't enjoy HL2 that much and haven't played either episode 1 or 2. Team Fortress is ok and you will be able to find a game easily enough.

Yes, it's a fantastic deal. Portal and Half Life 2 are some of the best games I've ever played. HL2:Episode 1 is pretty good and Episode 2 is amazing. Honestly, it'd be worth it just for Portal though. It's very short but there's nothing else like it.

I don't know about anyone else but I found TF2 to be very laggy. I think 95% of the time I spend playing that game I along with everyone else was lagging around the maps. I'd imagine it'd be awesome if it wasn't for that. I guess if you're really serious about TF2, you're playing on PC so this doesn't matter.

I've played Half-life 1/2, portal, and Team Fortress 2 all on PC but I'm still thinking about getting the Orange Box on PS3. It just feels like I should have it in my collection.

I have to agree with Codezer0.

I have had Orange Box on PS3 (rent) and even after all the current updates It's definitely not a good port. If Valve themselves did it however, it would had been excellent.

Unless you have absolutely no other option to buy it, then the PS3 version will suffice.. It saddens me to say this words but it truly was not a good port, but Orange Box is one of the best value for money purchases also being a fantastic game.

Don't miss on it.

dont do it its one of the worst ps3 ports out there.

Team Fortress 2 has gotten no support or updates to fix glitches, theres a lot of lag cause the ps3 cant even handle the frame rate.

Theres framerate problems in all of the games it comes packaged with, and it has to save every ten minutes when you play single player.

I dont think its worth it.

Avoid the the ps3 version long load times kill the game.Fightingfan

I had it on 360 and it certainly wasn't bad. Yes there were long load times but I still enjoyed it.

You guys are complaining because of Load times ??? Lord have mercy.. I wonder what you guys would do if an old woman needed help getting across the street lol :P Young_Charter

Just get the PC version and thank us later. It's the got the biggest community, continous updates, and the cheapest.

It's not 'that' bad. Maybe I came out little overreacting. I have had a chance to play half of the Orange Box at my friends Xbox 360, I own Orange Box for PC and I have finished the game on PS3 (rental).

I love Orange Box. (If you haven't noticed ;P).

It's playable on PS3, it's however not near good quality as the other platforms and there is no reason for it other then inexperienced developers who ported it. I know for sure Valve would had made it excellent quality if they developed it, unfortunately - that's not the case.

You can technically play it on PS3 and not care for issues it offers, unexplained frame-rate drops which happen often, overall visual quality is shameful, amongst other aspects I could complain about when I compared all the experience I have had.

The best advice I can give you is to rent a game first and find out how you like it. You could actually buy it as well, I have seen Orange Box below 19$ on few occasion new and 9.99$ used.

It's one of the rare games I'm angry at developer lack of polish on exellent game when it comes to my PS3 collection.

The Orange Box is a must, no matter what system you get it on. In addition to one of the greatest first person shooters of all time and it's expansions you get Portal which is masterpiece all in its own right. The biggest downside of the PS3 version is that TF2 is dead. I've only had a couple of framerate drops though and the PS3 version isn't nearly as inferior as many people say. I'd give it a 9.5/10.

Avoid the the ps3 version long load times kill the game.Fightingfan

No, it's not. The only issues I found were the loading times were a little long but nothing that just ruins the game and the framerate dropped here and there but it wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Maybe if you've played the PC version then you'd notice the differences but for me it was fine. If you're only option is the PS3 then you shouldn't feel shorthanded about it. anime_gamer007

You guys think the game is still totally worth it ?

I was checking it out, 5 games in one is pretty good.. Shows the quality of bluray holding all these games on one disc..

I know its only a little expensive lately due to Portal 2 dropping soon.. but I found a copy new at my job for 24.99.. well, opened but new

as in fresh case, disc, booklet, all that.

Btw, anyone still play Team Fortress 2 :P ?

Young_Charter

Just get it on PC, it's barely demanding graphically and the engine is really flexible to crappy computers. Unless you have Windows 98, I'm sure you can play all 5 games on it fine. Besides, you'd get the real version of TF2, because the console versions are hugely inferior due to lack of updating.
