I congratulate Valve for making such an excellent package, too bad the PS3 downgrades its brillance. I'm glad there's cheaper and better options out there to experience how superior this Orange Box package really is, 360PC. Just wait.

Load times for the PS3 version are laughable:

Seriously, I cant believe people still care about GameSpot scores. It is clear that this game does not deserve this score, PS3 orange box has lots of issues. GameSpot are trying to win people back. Only if you are densed or a GameSpot fanatic, you will still use GameSpot reviews.

agree, if the technical issues in Mass Effect were enough to keep it from getting AAA. The Orange Box on the PS3 shouldn't have gotten it either and I don't care if this is comparing apples to oranges. If you give a AAA score, you are still recommending it and it has way to many issues to actually be recommending the game.

PS3 has higher standards then other platforms. So 9.0 on PS3 is like 9.5 or 10 on PC and 360. Regardless, another AAA to add to it's already impressive library.

Seems like a very generous score to me, i was expecting much worse. ill probably still get the PC/360 version though. No point in paying more when the superior versions are cheaper.

hopefully, this is the last of the sub-par multiplats (unless valve decide they want to half-ass something else and screw some money out of it)

I'm tempted to buy this pack, but then again i had a major let down when i bought Assassin's Creed, which also got a 9.0 from GS. I know the OB is fantastic on 360 and PC, but this score from GS and the low scores it got in other places doesn't help me much in my decision.

If you have a PC, buy it on that. It doesnt need to be an amazing crysis-standard PC to run TOB well.

[QUOTE="bigLLL"]No way I would pay a cent for this port, it uses one single core and none of the other processers, it's not a ps3 game at all. just a really bad port.Bansheesdie

AAA 9.0 is a bad port :|

Uh...compare the dodgy frame rate to the 360 version and yes it is a bad port.

:lol:

Don't laugh its true. Oblivion scored lower on the PS3 version but GS in the review said it is THE best version to get with better graphics, load times and extra content.

The reason it got a lower score is because the standards are different and if you listen to the Hotspot you should have heard them mention a few shows back that its stupid to compare scores from different systems because they all have different standards.

Higher standards? Every multiplat is worse on ps3, Orange Box is even worse than others. Frame Rate problems and even longer loading screens.

Lets see...360 has double the install base of the PS3 right now.

Well, i ordered it. It's maybe a bad port but half life 2 is one of the greatest games. A couple of framerate drops and longer loading-times won't stop me from enjoying it.

Edit:

Btw, I also own it on pc.

I'm confused as to why people buy it for both? Why don't you use that money for charity or something. lol

If this was the 360 version with such huge issues, you can bet that the cows would be spamming the board and this thread with accusations of bias and bribery. I'm pleased that others haven't resorted to it.
