CoolFunkMan Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I've been playing Ep2 and Portal when I've been able to for the past few days. They're bloody awesome!! Though I only had a short go on Portal, and I'm stuck, though I think I'm half way through episode 2. And yays for the UT3 demo!
martinist Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I just finnished Ep2. This is what i have to say: *screams prophanities whilst beating a dead horse*
Guest Jordan Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Yeah, the ending is a bitch. I'm on puzzle 18 on Portal. Defeated the turrets now totally stuck... i'll go back to that later. Great little game, damn funny too.
gaggle64 Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Well, chugged through the cut scene, looked it up on Youtube, reloaded my game and I'm on my way. So far, I have to say this is probably the best slice of Half Life I've played to date.
Guest Jordan Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 If the Orange Box continues to get its current good reviews (95-100%) its going on to be number 1 on Gamerankings. Thats... mad.
Mundi Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Yeah it would be. Except there´s always a spoil sport going to kick it down
McPhee Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 Except 32-bit Vista won't use a 4th GB of RAM, so it'd be pretty pointless. You'd get an extra 200MB or so out of that gig

martinist Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 yeay! my steam rating is 9.9, i wonder what happens when it gets to 10?
Guest Jordan Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Valve give you a prize. A giant crowbar, made of cake.
Guest Jordan Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 It got leaked 2 weeks early on a torrent, look around you'll find it.
McPhee Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=190275&page=8 Im downloading now, not even getting 40kbps though, gonna take over 5 hours
Guest Jordan Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Wait, is this the beta or the demo? Are they two different things? The same thing?
Cube Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Wait, is this the beta or the demo? Are they two different things? The same thing? Usually: Demo - A sample of the final thing Beta - A unfinished version of the full game (or "all the parts we've finished"). Downloading it now...I'm interested to see how it'll run on my computer.
McPhee Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 Same thing i think. The demo is a beta version? Not sure, all i know is i'll be playing UT3 by 10pm tonight EDIT: By Cubes reasoning this is an unfinished version of the demo. Im guessing there'll be a second demo around release time

Downloading it now...I'm interested to see how it'll run on my computer. Well yeah, i know that... but. There was a torrent for the 'demo' floating around, now Fileplanet are offering a 'beta'. I just wondered if it was actually the same build/files/whatever.

I just wondered if it was actually the same build/files/whatever. It's likely the same thing. Companies seem to be getting Beta and Demo mixed up these days. Beta Demo should be an unfinished demo build, but it's likely to just be a demo build. Edit: McPhee edited his post to say what I said in this post while I was writing this post.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll get it by some means later tonight.
McPhee Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 edit: Im probably breaking forum rules posting that. The site i was downloading from just crashed Getting the torrent now, slower but it should be more reliable. Fingers crossed Epic just give up and release the demo officially, not gonna happen though thanks to ruddy File Planet
gaggle64 Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Oh for gawds sake. Get to the final cut scene and would you believe it, starts chugging away again the second the first you-know-what barges in, and won't let up until the credits. This is annoying.
McPhee Posted October 12, 2007 Author Posted October 12, 2007 UT3 Demo is now out officially! I could cry, spent since about 4pm trying to get this, i finally download it and it doesn't bloody work
gaggle64 Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Phew. Finally finished the main game on Portal. Fantastic stuff. FYI, the cake isn't a lie, you just don't get any.
