Forums - PC Discussion - Happy Birthday Half-Life! Only $0.98 on Steam!!!!

shio on 20 November 2008

I think this is the perfect chance for people who want to try out Steam. A cheap and tasty deal can get Valve new costumers.

OT: I'm interested in this. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to buy it though (I myself don't own a credit card). How good is it? I loved HL2, but isn't HL1 from 1998?

 

I thought everyone owned Half-Life.

More seriously, just buy it. It's ninety-eight cents for the shooter that killed System Shock 2. The game is a lot more tense than Half-Life 2 and in some people's estimations it's a better game. For a dollar, you literally cannot go wrong.

Coke is like... i think 1.59 by me unless it's on sale.

Bubba Cola's just good.... It's sold at Save-A-Lots.

It's like... a good in between of coke and pepsi flavor wise.

1.59 for 0.33l or 0.5l? Anyway, here we get 0.5l coke for 39cents. Well, really they cost almost 2 dollars, but what we do in my family is buy 10*1.5 liters (which gives a 66% discount of regular 1.5l price), and put it into 0.5l (or just have them in 1.5l).

You should consider that if you drink a bit of coke. Saves a load of money in the long run.

Are you insulting the year 1998?  It's one of the most important years of gaming history.  It had Half-Life and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and STARCRAFT.  How dare you.  I demand an apology on behalf of the year 1998.

1.59 for a 2 liter.  69 cent one is a 2 liter too.

I love 1998 as a year. OoT, ISS98, and generally pretty much a load of awesome games. May be the best ever for gaming.

Still, I don't like most of the big hitters for PC from that time, such as Starcraft, and Age of Empires 2, and most of those. Maybe it is because PC gaming has seen such a huge improvement from that time, and I played the newer games first. Like for instance I played Age of Mythology before Starcraft, which made Starcraft feel slow and dated when I played it.

Yeah, i just downloaded steam and bought it... i mean.  I'd buy a shitty game for a dollar.

Hell i bought games i KNEW would be bad for more then that.  Like once i paid 5 dollars for a "Beyblade" Game... which is a game where you battle tops.

Honestly that is hilarious that you mentioned beyblades.  I actually thought about the show out of the blue this morning because I was flipping through the channels before class and I saw this crappy show on CN called backugon or something lame like that.  I was like "Wow, what a rip off of Beyblades."

Yeah, the game is hilariously bad.  You basically kinda... but not really control the top... and basically try and tap a every time you hit your opponents beyblade... then do a special move every once in a while.

Anyone know how big the download file would be? (Living in Australia means limited downloads, so despite the cheap price i want to make sure i'll be able to allocate enough for it)
