Half-Life 2: Episode 1

[DaveyD]

I know, but I begin to have a serious issue with Steams greediness.
25% discount is not unreasable, especially that Episode One DVD costs $16.99 in US retail. Not only we have to pay almost 30% more over Steam, which is completely unreasanable on its own, but $80 Complete Pack subscribers don't get discounts in the future. We would be literally better off just buing that stuff with media via Amazon.

I totally agree that the majority of the stuff is a rip off compared to most online retailers, and as a Silver package purchaser back in the day, I would have hoped to get some sort of discound for the fact we have packages that cost a reasonable amount, and are sold under the same name.

I don't think you can actually get Half-Life 2: Episode One or SiN: Episode One cheaper from online retailers, else I probably would have gone through it that way.

Well, don't know about SiN, but certainly Half-Life 2: Episode One is available @ $16.99 + free shipping at Amazon or actually, any other online retailer.

Hl2:EP1 is defo the best game ive played since F.E.A.R again they left you guessing what’s going to happen that EP2 trailer looked very good indeed cant wait for it!! i love the falling ash effect and Dog, and the textures look amazing defiantly worth £12 imo Also Sin is worth the download.

Well i was a little disapointed tbh. I have just finished it and well... Its just a little more of the same.There is 1 new enemy and honestly its actually not that important or integral to the story. I at least expected 1 new weapon and a couple of new enemies. I would have also liked to see more terrain interaction, like on the demo when you could kill baddies by getting something to drop on them. Honestly, it was a bit of fun and the gfx are great but thats about it.. Glad it was only £11 though.
