I already pre-ordered and pre-loaded. Now I am just waiting to play it. Anyone else getting this? Preorder on steam makes the price like 18 bucks.

Consciousness returns. Gordon and Alyx discover they've somehow escaped both the reactor explosion and the G-Man's malevolent grasp. Before they can ponder their miraculous survival, the crippled Citadel lurches back to life just long enough to initiate a self-destruct sequence. With Alyx at his side, Gordon must flee a city in chaos before the Citadel's final detonation turns City 17 into a toxic, mutant-infested crater.

Sounds like it's going to be action-packed.

so, Episode 1 costs $20, Episode 2 and 3 each going to cost $20. That's $60 total. What a ripoff...

It's not too much different than HL2. Episodes are 20 dollars each, 20x3 is 60 dollars (if you preorder each one it will be 2 dollars off each for 54 dollars), 4-6 hours each for 12-16 hours. HL2 was around 15-20 hours for 50 dollars.

 

I'd also rather not wait another 5 years for a sequel.

Yep agreed. The orig game for me was more than 15 hours of gameplay...more like 40, b/c I take my time, look around and am not always rushing to get to next autosave or level.

 

They say the episodes will be about 6-8 hours of gameplay...if they are spaced out by 3 mos each, that give you time to really enjoy game and something to look foreward to...

 

I am completely a victim of the "I am playing this till it's done" syndrome. I play a game, sometimes for 8 hours a day...then I'm done with single player and there is nothing to look foreward to.

 

Besides, how can ya hate on HL2?...best single player game ever.

I'm excited...I just have too much work to do right about now...

 

HL2, as I said, IMHO, is the best single player game made.

 

I would be a bit more excited, if I had been playing it for a day.

 

It took me that long to warm up to HL2
