[Pericolos0]

if i purchase it now, can i already play hl1dm source then?

[Furyo]

I'll buy it, but only on the 31st or 30th. No need in putting this on April's paycheck when it can be done on May's

Yes, it's available right after you purchase it.

Valve says is gonna be their best singleplay expirience to date.

Somehow I doubt thats gonna be the case and to be on the save (or is it safe) side I am just gonna wait for reviews or a bundle of the episodes later on.

[Belgarion]

yeah. i'm buying before it's out. buying one for my brother as well. it's going to be his late birthday present.

This episodic distribution doesn't feel right at all. I don't like it.

What's wrong with it? I think with episodic system Valve can concentrate on a smaller scale project and make it better than a bigger and huge project that takes time to plan and develop.

I think it's a great deal.

The thing is if they just released an expansion without episodes we would only get the same ammount of gameplay as a single episode and it would cost quite a bit more. (Blueshift anyone?)

Just bought it, currently pre-loading it. I hope this whole episodic content actually is filled with $17 worth of gameplay each episode, but as long as I have fun in the end, I guess I dont really care.

[Grinwhrl]

I was told by a few people it was bad but that was one of the reasons it got held back and should be much better now, lets hope
