DeafMetal Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 San Andreas has sold more than twice what Half Life 2 sold (and more than GTA IV), and it was released in the same year. Just sayin' Edit: blah, should have just edited my other post. Valve don't and never have released sales figures regarding digital distribution over Steam. The bottom line is that you have no idea how many copies of HL2 Valve have sold through Steam. I'm guessing it's a lot. Arguably more than at retail. Here's the quote: "Over 6.5 million copies of Half-Life 2 were sold at retail by December 3, 2008, making it a bestselling PC game (not including the number of sales via Steam)." Valve is a lot smarter than Rockstar Games. Creating a digital distribution platform that awards larger profit margins to developers whilst systematically fighting piracy and used-game sales (something only possible because of the popularity of a game like HL2 which forced people to use Steam in the first place) is something Rockstar never got round to. Goes both ways, bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.S.P.D. Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Star Wars Battlefront 3 is one game I would love to have as much as GTA 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalavendredi Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The Half-Life games are overrated. Story is interesting, but nothing stands out. No need to be a GTAFanboy. Half Life is a genre defining franchise Maybe he doesn't like the genre? For me Half Life is not interesting because I don't like these kind of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiffster Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I would just get both! As a pc gamer, I don't know why I'm unhappy about the long GTAV pc wait! Look how long I've been waiting for HL2 Episode 3, which (I think) is now kinda obviously gonna be Half Life 3...

jamieleng Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Where's the "both" choice? It's a hypothetical choice. Of course you'd be silly if you restricted yourself to only playing one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard1997jones Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Not even heard of Half life 3 if I had I guess not because GTA V is by far the best game ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Mario Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I don't even know what the heck Half Life is all about. I played a demo of the 2nd one but it is kinda stupid.. GTA V is the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G D Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Neither. They both suck compared to my precious Cock on Duty: Missing Whore 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAaLEX117 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Half Life is easily the most overrated video game series on the market with Halo and Call of Duty. GTA V is easy, easy choice AINEC. I disagree. Halo and HL are incredibly popular because they were genre defining, and because they were actually good games. CoD only sells well, quality wise it is an absolutely horrible and overpriced yearly DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shenmue18 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 This might not be the best place to ask this question, as it's GTAforums, so everyone here obviously likes GTA and are probably incredibly hyped up over GTA V, I myself never got into Half Life (I'm probably going to get flamed for admitting that.) so I'd definitely go with Grand Theft Auto 5.

CTCCoco Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Half Life 3, no doubt. GTA V is epic, but Half Life 3, god Half-Life 2 is really really good (same with Half-Life 1), and it will be (it doesnt get aged). I think there are many stupid kids here, just fanboys who hate on the other games. Edited May 30, 2013 by CTCCoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murad96 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 and 269 prefer GTA V... Doesn't matter, I wanted to see how many people on a GTA forum would prefer Half Life 3, and I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
