Brand New PC, I can get one game. Help me choose?

Well that I'll agree with

I don't understand why you want to get the entire orange box again though? It's cheap, but if you only want TF2 then only get TF2, you might have enough money to scrounge Crysis & Warhead as well, or am I missing something?

Well if I end up going with TF2 I want to get the whole pack for mods, especially Garrys Mod.

Garry's mod doesn't come with the orange box...? I'm really lost here xD

The Orange Box only includes : Hl2, Ep 1, Ep 2, Portal and TF2. Same as the 360 version. The mod's are downloaded free from steam and Garry's mod is like £5.

Orange Box, amazing value...Team Fortress 2 will seem like a new game, and you'll be open to the AMAZING stock of kick-ass mods for it. Have fun.

Don't worry, I've just missed something, and I'm too tired to figure out what

Basically, whichever choice is a good choice. But Crysis is certainly a game I don't think anyone should miss.

 

[Danny Ocean]

My two main choices are The Orange Box, and the Crysis complete pack on Steam. I already have the Orange Box on 360 but I want a chance to play with the new updates. Yes my PC can run Crysis and Crysis Warhead. Which should I get, and what else do you reccomend?

Whatever you do end up choosing be sure to tell me [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.81348#1081992] so I can add you to the group.

I'd say neither, try Company of Heroes or perhaps Mass Effect. Or wait a bit for Modern Warfare 2. The online play on Crysis and Warhead isn't very good, and on Warhead it's terribly unbalanced.

I'm going to stop short of telling you to illegally download as many PC games as you want. What's ALMOST as cheap is buying games through Amazon.com Or Ebay.com Way more bang for your buck.

Edit: Victor Arsen does NOT endorse illegal downloads. Pay for your games, So that the developers can continue making them for us!

I actually went to newegg.com and found a much cheaper equivalent to the Crysis Complete Pack called the Crysis Maximum Edition which is the same thing as the download on steam, only it's about $20 cheaper.

 

[Dingoman013]

You should get tes4 or fallout 3, tes 4 is extremely long live and you WILL GET at leat 160 hours of good gameplay. Hell i've played about 230 hours in total on 3 different characters. And my character with 160 still isn't max level. I highly recomend The elder scrols 4 Oblivion.

 

[Robert632]

of the 2, orange box, as my computer can run crysis on high graphics setting, and still crashes on low graphics setting

 

[Ironic]

Orange Box because Crysis LOOKS pretty but is a pretty average game. Also, theres more multiplayer support on the PC for orange box stuff. You can also get crysis pretty cheap now too.

 

[T-Bone24]

Orange Box. Crysis can wait, but man's freedom cannot. And if you must, just get Warhead. In my opinion, it's the better game.

 

[PlaylistOne]

I also heard that Battlefield 2142 is a good game, should I check that out too? It's only about $20.

 

[AnAnemicTurtle]

Battlefield 2142 is a good game, but I would say that Battlefield 2 is better. Or you can wait for Battlefield 1943 which will probably be cheaper,but with less maps.

 

[Cowabungaa]

The Orange Box, if only for TF2, that game alone is worth the whole Orange Box.

 

[Merteg]

Orange Box.

 

[SquirrelPants]

I would go with the Orange Box, just because if you get it, you can also grab the countless free Source mods that go along with it. I have no opinion on Crysis, though, I've never played it.

 

[TheCameraman]

I'd say get the orange Box, it's cheap, you get 4 grand games, and those games are a whole different experience on the PC, what with mods and updates and all. Plus that (at least I think so) FPSs are much better played on a computer.
