I've got EQ2. Playing EQ2 for 15 dollars a month is a lot easier than paying 50 for HL2, 50 for Bloodlines, 50 for Doom 3, etc.

me, couldn't care less right now. I have so many games (or just 1 ) and far too little time.

Won't be buying for several months.

In my opinion, that's definately not worth the money, kinda like Doom3. I was hoping that the game would keep me busy, entertained, and challenged for a couple of weeks atleast.

I think some people just try to rush through the game just to say they beat it. I don't get what the point of that is...if you're spending a decent amount of cash on a game, why wouldn't you want to make the most of it and take your time? Hell, I still haven't finished FarCry yet, and I bought it seven months ago probably. I haven't yet started HL2 (probably gonna play HL1:Source first), but I'm sure going to be taking my time on that one too. I'd find it hard to believe that Valve would release a really short game after so many years of development.

Me neither

And it costs too much now. Besides, I've got other games I haven't got around to playing. Anyway, I'm too busy "playing" memtest86 and P95 while trying to find good OC parameters.

I'm not playing! My video card is so pathetic and doesn't support DX9, so I'd be missing out on a lot of the fancy eyecandy.

I pre-ordered it from CompUSA back in like March (when I pre-ordered BFV). I got it for a good price (around $45). I checked CompUSA's website yesterday morning and I get an error with my order #. So, I called up and wouldn't you know it, they cancelled my order? I spoke with the woman at CompUSA's customer support and she re-instated my order and gave me 2 day shipping for free. Apparently after like 6 months they dropped my order. Well, in 2 days I should have it. Man, I hope it gets here in time for the weekend!

I played the first, right when it came out. I know I'm going to take crap for what I'm about to say... But I didn't understand why everyone loved it so. I got about halfway through, and found myself too bored to carry on, and other games got my attention.

I'll eventually play HL2, I'm just not in any hurry.

Same here. I first played HL right after Deus EX (the original) and System Shock 2. Too me, those 2 were waaay better. I guess I prefer my FPS with some RPG aspects. Fo pure run-n-gun fraggin, I like the UT series.

Haven't played yet, but wife went out during her lunch and bought it for me as a present, so I will be playing it tonight.
Wound up with decent deal on it. $54.99 @ Compusa -$10 off 50 coupon from one of those coupon books your kid sells for school and CUSA has a $10 gift card with it, so basically $34.99+ tax.
