For 60$ I bought 4 hats! =D

[–]Byran125 24 points25 points ago

Hell, I'll give you 8 hats for Skyrim.

[–]ma33 37 points38 points ago

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY HATS

[–]Sad_Mute 73 points74 points ago

For $60 you could get around three earbuds or a decent unusual.

[–]MrNameless 34 points35 points ago

Earbuds haven't been $20 in a while. He's looking more at 2 buds or a lower end unusual.

[–]DarthBrooks 14 points15 points ago

I traded my buds for a mess of weapons when I first bought the game.

Honestly, best decision I ever made.

[–]Aquason 12 points13 points ago

That's debatable. Nowadays buds are worth a $25-27. 14-15 keys. Which translates to 32.62 ref. Which translates (if 1 scrap = 1 weapon) into 293 weapons.

[–]tagus 3 points4 points ago

whoa fuck

people actually paypal money and shit for this stuff?

[–]Acivilisedorgy 3 points4 points ago

Does anyone else tremember all the whinnig and bitching by the butthurt TF2 players when valve said they were makign the game free?

"omfg I paid good money for this over 4 YEARS ago! Now they've made a game that was $20 FREE!!!"

[–]TimTheEskimo 173 points174 points ago

And those games don't have hats

[–]OleDaneBoy 92 points93 points ago

How do they know who's cool?!

[–]TimTheEskimo 133 points134 points ago

Apparently who ever banged my mom the most

[–]theQman121 20 points21 points ago

ಠ_ಠ

[–]TimTheEskimo 53 points54 points ago

You should have seen the look on my dads face when he played call of duty for the first time and found out a server of 12 year olds gang-banged her the night before

[–]YuSik 18 points19 points ago

Go on..

[–]reddit-user 14 points15 points ago

maybe a scumbag hat

[–]lekanly 16 points17 points ago

Is there a scumbag hat in TF2?

C'mon, there fucking should be.

[–]InstantLoser 36 points37 points ago

Here's a model that made its rounds through /r/tf2 about a month ago.

[–]Mackelsaur 14 points15 points ago

Oh my, that's perfect.

[–]reddit-user 18 points19 points ago

omg it would go perfectly on the spy

[–]Gothiks 4 points5 points ago

Actually, they do.

[–]nxtnguyen 4 points5 points ago

They have helmets. And baseball caps.

[–]lowkontrast2 123 points124 points ago

$50 for the Orange Box.

It's actually amazing that TF2 is free now since the original $50 price was insanely low for the content you got.

[–]ejackso1 84 points85 points ago

I think I'm the only one who just bought TF2 for $20 back in the day.

[–]rubelmj 50 points51 points ago

I got it on sale for $10 about a year and a half ago.

[–]NiceGuysFinishLast 42 points43 points ago

I'm downloading it legally right now.

[–]rubelmj 14 points15 points ago

You won't be disappointed. Hit up the Official Wiki and read up on the classes and the basic gameplay to get you started.

[–]rafaelloaa 45 points46 points ago

And avoid Nighteam servers. They have premium perks which wreck the game, as seen here. Pathetic really.

[–]Sonris 20 points21 points ago

Agreed. Nighteam servers are for people so bad at the game they can't even cheat on their own without shoveling out money to people to do it for them.

Yes Night team premium people, hackers with aimbots are actually better at the game then you are.

On the bright side its sometimes funny to use a spy on night team servers, the premiums are so used to having the ability to derp around getting shot in the face a thousand times I find they are terrible at spy checking, backstabs still one hit kill them.

[–]rafaelloaa 3 points4 points ago

I would try that, but I blacklisted all of them months ago.

[–]blackmang 6 points7 points ago

I bought it during the same sale. We are connected.

[–]rynvndrp 7 points8 points ago

$15 for the orange box...3 weeks before TF2 was free to play.

sigh... at least a got a hat right?

[–]ScarboroughFairgoer 5 points6 points ago

Dude, if you got the Orange Box you're effing set. Awesome games from the box aside, you're now able to download and play all the sweet sweet sourcemods. Here are a few of my favourites:

The Stanley Parable

Nightmare House 2

Goldeneye

Insurgency (If you really want a "realistic" modern combat game.)

Flipside

There are tons more, just do a search for free sourcemods. Happy gaming!

[–]getthefuckoutofhere 0 points1 point ago

so you already owned half-life 2 parts 1 and 2, and portal, but bought the orange box anyway?

well maybe you can sigh more knowing it's your own stupid fault

[–]rynvndrp 0 points1 point ago

I did not own half life 2 nor portal, but since buying the orange box I have played maybe 3 hrs of those games vs 280hrs of TF2.

[–]omarhegazy 2 points3 points ago

I payed 60 dollars for The Orange Box.

[–]drsnafu 17 points18 points ago

I paid 60 dollars for The Orange box.

[–]FacelessJ 47 points48 points ago

I paid $50 for Portal 1 and got a bunch of other games for free.

[–]Biospider 8 points9 points ago

My sentiment exactly. Officially the deal of the decade.

[–]stevesonaplane 6 points7 points ago

Are we doing an AA thing? stands up Hello my name is Steven and I paid 60 dollars for The Orange Box.

[–]tyrghast 6 points7 points ago

I paid less than $50, because if you pre ordered they took the price down a little and you could play TF2 for over a month in advanced.

Still the best money for entertainment I've ever played. Unfortunately the Mann Co. package and updates similar to it turned me off of TF2, but I got a solid amount of entertainment for about a year after purchase.

[–]FrankEGee88 5 points6 points ago

if you bought just TF2 (stand-alone, on launch) it was $20

[–]fumar 78 points79 points ago

Yeah but for $1500 I can get a baller hat with a particle effect!

[–]slowhand88 32 points33 points ago

Hey that's how much the car I had in college cost!

'89 Crown Vic with shag carpet, rest in peace you magnificent stallion.

[–]Wondering_Wandering 6 points7 points ago

Or study mannconomics and trade up to one for free

[–]fumar 3 points4 points ago

Heh, I have around $700 in unusuals and probably a $1k backpack and I spent $70 on alt accounts and that's it. I already made $200 by selling shit via paypal :D

[–]aussiegolfer 3 points4 points ago

How many hours work did that take, do you reckon? I get shit bored sitting on trade servers offering the same trades to the same people.

[–]g-don 25 points26 points ago

hl2.exe has crashed

or

it doesn't crash and instead randomly stutters here and there when it feels like through no fault of your own.

[–]CuntyTheSardine 11 points12 points ago

Ugh, this. They had actually fixed most of the issues until last night's update. Now I'm back to crashing every minute or so ಠ_ಠ

[–]StealthGhost 4 points5 points ago

I only get HL2.exe has crashed when I close the game

Which is completely fine.

[–]Wtfizz 67 points68 points ago

I bought TF2 before they put all the new shit in.

[–]traken 29 points30 points ago

I got TF2 free with Portal.

Orange Box: $45 Portal, $5 Episode 1, $0 Team Fortress 2

[–]tyrghast 4 points5 points ago

Episode 2, you mean

[–]Cendeu 9 points10 points ago

Yeah, exactly. I remember playing it on the Orange Box. I didn't even know what it was. Same with Half-Life.

Now I know what Half-life is, but I've never played it. I'm going to. Soon.

But I agree. I bought The Orange Box 100% for portal. The others were just bonuses.

[–]Nyarlathotep124 29 points30 points ago

You own the orange box. And you've never played half-life. What the hell, man.

[–]OMG_Its_CoCo 6 points7 points ago

Guilty.

[–]Cendeu 9 points10 points ago

Well, to be honest I've played the first ~hour of Half-life 1.

But yeah dude. I keep telling myself "Go over there and play it. It's famous within the gaming community. It'd be like not playing OOC or something"

And then I get on LoL, or play through Bastion again or something :-/

Or browse reddit.

[–]QuickSaintPat 4 points5 points ago

I am not exaggerating when I say that I have played through HL2 seven times! Not even the hardest of hardcore horse porn gives me a boner like that game! ...er ... I mean it's fun

[–]martymcfly85 4 points5 points ago

before ANY of the class updates? that was a pretty long time ago, what badge do you have, Grizzled Veteran?

[–]reverendfrag4 16 points17 points ago

I bought it with the Orange Box. In a store.

Honestly, I was only interested in the Half Life 2 episode.

[–]Sansarasa 16 points17 points ago

Most people were. I remember reading forum posts saying that Team Fortress died with TF2 because they thought the cartoony aesthetics were a mistake from Valve's part and that the Fortress Forever mod would wipe the floor with TF2...

Fast forward two years (2009 or so, pre hat bullshit) and TFF is but a moth of dust in a page of gaming history, whereas TF2 is the most played and popular FPS on PCs (Maybe after CS, can't say).

The people that downplayed TF2 are now among the most hardcore fans that loathe Valve for ruining the perfect original aesthetics.

Funny how it works, uh?

[–]reverendfrag4 4 points5 points ago

They've made a lot of money off that game, but it's not a game that I, personally, enjoy. More power to them, but I miss the MIRV grenades, the faster movement, the guns that killed quickly, and not waiting to respawn.

[–]crash331 -1 points0 points ago

TF and TFC were the best.

[–]kingbot 9 points10 points ago

Primeval Warrior here, oh has the game changed... how it's changed...

[–]the_kg 7 points8 points ago

Primeval Warrior

Hire Date: September 18, 2007

Damn I miss the good ole vanilla days.

[–]temporary_acount 36 points37 points ago

For $60 I wait for the Steam winter sale, and buy 5 dozen games.

[–]IHadACatOnce 30 points31 points ago

I bought the Quakecon Pack from Steam this year for $60. It included 34 games total, some of which were: Morrowind GOTY edition, Oblivion GOTY edition, Fallout 3 GOTY edition, Fallout New Vegas (and most of the DLC), and all of the Doom and Quake games. (and much much more)

[–]CYRlX 8 points9 points ago

God damn that's a deal.

[–]CrockenSpiel 2 points3 points ago

That is awesome. Best bundle I've heard of.

[–]kittycuddler 8 points9 points ago

HAHA you only spend 60 bucks during the winter sale? I think you're lying :p Seriously, I spent like 200 bucks last year haha, but of course that was for like a billion games.

[–]Legitimidget 17 points18 points ago

Half of which you still haven't played.

[–]whitediablo3137 18 points19 points ago

99% actually

[–]Kuraito 7 points8 points ago

I bought Orange Box for 360 because all my friends were way more into Console gaming then PC. Then I got sick of Microsoft's shit and bought TF2 a second time on PC. I've yet to spend a single cent in the Mann Co store, and have a huge stockpile of unopened crates to prove it.

...you know, fuck it, I'm playing some TF2. 500 hours later and I still love the game to death.

[–]ironcoffin 22 points23 points ago

For $60 I bought 25 manco keys!

[–]Derringer 11 points12 points ago

And each crate was some crap item you already have.

[–]AllNamesAreGone 4 points5 points ago

Not anymore! Strange weapons, counting kills like nobody's business.

Wait, what? Strange razorbacks? sigh To the trade server!

selling strange razorback 1 rec

[–]fumar 5 points6 points ago

Silly noob buying keys from the store. You could have bought 30-32 keys from SourceOP or r/tf2trade

[–]ironcoffin 3 points4 points ago

I don't know I only play the game about 4-5 times a month.

[–]Brosephski 12 points13 points ago

You know, Quake Live is free too. It's also one of the best first person shooters ever made. Nobody plays it though. Nobody wants to play it.

[–]stevesonaplane 14 points15 points ago

I play it. It's hard, but I got a kill the other day.

[–]Remmib 0 points1 point ago

QL is good fun. God damn the skill cap in that game is so high.

Just wish I didn't have to play it in a browser. I hate that.

[–]TotalBiscuit 0 points1 point ago

A lot of people don't enjoy Quake Live because it's a bare-bones, competitively orientated title with very little variety. Which is fine, for it's purpose of being a competitive game, but forgive me if I want more than 1 fire-mode on my weapons.

[–]Minimumtyp 3 points4 points ago

Me? I paid nothing.

You don't use console commands to get your hats? Yaomingface

[–]moscova89 5 points6 points ago

I was one of the idiots who got TF2 for 360 and expected an update...

then it was free on steam :D

[–]ConcernedPlayer 53 points54 points ago

If you're sick of this and the 8 other circlejerks that are currently sitting on the front page I'd just like to remind everyone that /r/truegaming exists and is full of relatively thought-provoking discussion.

[–]coppersink 10 points11 points ago

'True' gaming? Really?

Sounds kinda... smug.

[–]KhaoticLegacy 10 points11 points ago

I think so too, but it is a nice place to actually discuss games in a serious manner.

Also; no memes, or "DID ANYBODY PLAY THIS WHEN YOU WERE A KID?" type posts. I quite like it.

[–]stevesonaplane 1 point2 points ago

Please don't forget that video games are just that.

[–]SwineHerald 11 points12 points ago

I paid $50 for the Orange box and got my copy of BF3 free through promotional offers.

[–]tophatandmonocle 7 points8 points ago

how many keys have you bought?

[–]DJwhiteyD 3 points4 points ago

I found you

[–]Twilight_Sprinkle 4 points5 points ago

wat

[–]DJwhiteyD 3 points4 points ago

don't worry twilight, just talking to a friend (that secretly likes ponies)

[–]sup3rspiffy 4 points5 points ago

I paid $60 for Skyrim and god damn it's gonna be good

[–]dontstandinfire_ 4 points5 points ago* 

Battlefield 3 $60, Modern Warfare 3 $0, Team Fortress 2 ... I'm gonna say around $200 sunk into hats. I actually just went through all my emails and I have $172.03 into TF2's hats and such... sigh

[–]Flapjack_ 9 points10 points ago

This anti MW3/BF3 circlejerk is fucking horrible.

[–]syn3rgyz 1 point2 points ago

i paid $0 for counter strike 1.6

[–]xionaxa 3 points4 points ago

Bah! weapon customization! I GOT HATZZZZZZ!

[–]FuckThe 11 points12 points ago

I'm a CoD MW3 player and I don't feel like that remotely...

Great game and I'm enjoying it in between homework breaks!

[–]Ipzero 17 points18 points ago

So then when are you doing your homework?

[–]lostperception 2 points3 points ago

Back in my day the pyro only had a shotgun as a backup, and you could shoot engineers sky high with needles from the medic gun. Oh, how I miss those engineer maps. Build em high boys!

[–]Casde 1 point2 points ago

For 20$ my friend got me BF3 and some headphones! True Story!

[–]The_Director 1 point2 points ago

I got it for free! I registered my Sapphire video card 6 months ago. Last week I got an email from them that I won a raffle for registered users!

[–]finec 2 points3 points ago

Except that's not how I feel.

[–]osx86 2 points3 points ago

MW3 is a spy!

[–]bibowski 2 points3 points ago

Does the error message seriously say that in MW3?

[–]theQman121 2 points3 points ago

I paid $15 for TF2. A month later, free to play.

[–]BankaiPwn 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure a lot of the TF2 players have bought more then the entire COD series + BF3 series games cost in hats.

They're addicting allright? Leave me alone!

[–]Champigne 2 points3 points ago

I paid $9.99 for TF2 before Valve invited all the F2Pers.

[–]bloodyabortiondouche 1 point2 points ago

TF2 player is laughing at the peasants that have only spent $60 on the game.

[–]garysnail123 4 points5 points ago

Not sure where a class based all multiplayer game like Team Fortress 2 can come into all of this BF3 Vs. MW3 debate.

But okay.

[–]utterpedant 3 points4 points ago

It's all about multiplayer. You're usually done with the campaigns in BF and MW before you even get the shrinkwrap off the box.

[–]redwinterwolf 1 point2 points ago

Im sure none of you guys have paid more then 60$ for apparel items, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

[–]xblacklabel91 5 points6 points ago

I don't see the big draw on TF2, it's just ok. No need to be a smug asshole about it.

[–]headphonehalo[!] 1 point2 points ago

Same thing goes for MW3 and BF3, really.

[–]Cendeu 6 points7 points ago

True. But people on r/gaming put a bit too much emphasis on TF2, I think.

Yes, it's a good game. But it's not even the same type of game as MW3 or BF3. It's completely different.

People like xblacklabel91 and I simply dislike the fact that they are compared. TF2 is a good game, but if you try to compare it with the other two by their terms it's nothing.

No going prone, no realistic fighting. No aiming down sights. Cartoony graphics. No realistic stealth.

I know TF2 isn't supposed to have these things. People who want games like MW/BF3 will buy those. People who want games like TF2 will play that.

[–]Cendeu 1 point2 points ago

I really don't think TF2 counts. MW3 and BF3 are war simulators. They have fairly realistic fighting (ok, I know MW3 really doesn't... but it's more realistic than TF2).

TF2 doesn't even have stuff like going prone, or aiming down your sights. While I love all of these games... they aren't the same thing. At all.

[–]MuscularCat 0 points1 point ago

Upvoted for recognizing TF2's superior quality. It's funny how a game released in 2007 still hasn't been matched near the end of 2011.

[–]youngfreckle 1 point2 points ago

And there's us who play across platforms....

[–]TheOnlyPolygraph 0 points1 point ago

Scumbag F2P:

Pays nothing for TF2.

Uses one of the first hats released in his picture.

[–]dancrum 1 point2 points ago

Wait a second, I'm a BF3 player, and I can play and I don't even use Origin!

[–]JohnsonMG 1 point2 points ago

I have a friend who traded TF2 hats for all his games. He has 2 copies of skyrim, deus Ex... and a bunch of other shit i can't remember.

[–]kkjdroid 0 points1 point ago

My sentiments exactly. I've paid $20 total on TF2 and have every weapon and several hats. Also, I can play my game (and it's definitely improved over Team Fortress Classic :D).

[–]Mr_Moosey 0 points1 point ago

Got it yesterday, never been happier.

[–]BlackWolf_001 0 points1 point ago

$50 from amazon for BF3, and it's awesome.

[–]killersnowtiger -1 points0 points ago

Replace the last panel with something referencing something slightly comparable like RO2 or ArmA2 and we have something.

Real answer: more than OP could afford. Hence the sour grapes.

i just had to restart mw3 and i got the safe mode message and it says modern warfare 3, not modern warfare 2. i think people be trolling.

Replace the bottom with QuakeLive, Wolf:ET, Warsow ... Almost any Free FPS but TF2 and the picture is correct.

Conveniently forgetting the number of hats and other crap most TF players have purchased.

[–]pman5595 1 point2 points ago

These are both PC only problems, correct? Console ftw.

[–]PartyBusGaming 1 point2 points ago

I hadn't heard about that error message thing. Anyone care to explain?

[–]Gothiks 0 points1 point ago

Seriously, BF3 has hats and it's a pleasant change of "class warfare."

[–]TePalis 1 point2 points ago

You paid how much for hats?

[–]A_Privateer 1 point2 points ago

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a very, very small minority of people who do not enjoy TF. I remember playing the Half-Life version, and really enjoying it, but something about it's modern incarnation just did not click for me. My K/D ratio was garbage, and I just didn't seem to be playing effectively or having much fun. Even when I'm getting creamed in Battlefield I still have fun, and still feel like I'm contributing to the game. The art design is fun and all, but it doesn't really inspire any love really. I dunno. I'm not really into multiplayer FPS, except for BC2 and BF3. Maybe they're just flukes for me.

[–]bitches_be 1 point2 points ago

I don't know why this is but I really liked TF2 initially, now I can't even play it. I want to like it again but I can't, anyone else feel like that?

[–]caesium137 0 points1 point ago

I've put about 2500 hours into TF2 and haven't been able to play it since they made it F2P. Terribad players make me rage.

[–]D3m0nk1d 1 point2 points ago

F2P WEAKLING

[–]kolossal 1 point2 points ago

I think I've wasted more money on TF2 than on the entire Battlefield series combined.

[–]MadMonkey572 0 points1 point ago

How I feel:

...sorry, can't talk. Too busy fapping over Skyrim teasers.

[–]AlmightyTurtleman 0 points1 point ago

No one ever mentions sonic :(

[–]Malthusian1 1 point2 points ago

Bought team fortress, should have saved my money. I know it goes against reddit but this game is just way to fucking goofy. Haven't had one issue with BF3, maybe there are more problems because tons more people are playing these games rather than playing a 5-6 year old game. Also, please don't come murder me reddit. Love you.

[–]I_AM_THE_BANANA 0 points1 point ago

And how many KEYS did you buy? hmmm

[–]desertcombat06 1 point2 points ago

Real gamers paid for that shit when it came out in the Orange Box.

[–]Shitler 0 points1 point ago

Well, the important thing is that you've found a way to feel superior to both.

(I don't hate you; I just couldn't resist drawing the parallel to this.)

[–]sunburn24 0 points1 point ago

jokes on all of you, i can't afford to buy video games!

[–]thelogikalone 1 point2 points ago

yeah but how much did you pay for the orange box when it came out?

[–]EvOllj 0 points1 point ago

where is that MW3 error message image from?

[–]Da_Funk 0 points1 point ago

I got BF3 for $50. I like amazon.

[–]FishPhoenix 1 point2 points ago

I haver BF3 and am having a blast with it with my friends, in fact we've already clocked in way more hours in that than we ever did in TF2.

I have both of these. MW3 is going back tomorrow. Compared to BF3, MW3 feels like I have to pull the gun through wet cement to aim.

There's a work-a-round about the Origin-BF3 problem. I don't need Origin to run BF3 anymore because Razor1911 made a BF3.exe that eliminated the need of Origin to launch. Also, a workaround has been found for my crashes that I've been having.

ROFL YES ROFL.

Oh wait I got TF2 when it was on sale for like $4.99 or something, but close to zero. Haven't played since it went to hat town, though.

[–]mistergookey 0 points1 point ago

I'm still a bit miffed that Valve are now giving away TF2 for free and offering a hat to people that paid for it previously. I bought it not long after it was released and stopped playing a few months later but since I haven't played for so long and don't intend on starting again, the hat is useless to me.

I enjoy both TF2 and BF3, but the two are apples and oranges. There hasn't been a game that has had cohesive vehicular squadplay since BF2... and that was 7 years ago! Conquest is back in full effect, as are large, gorgeous maps.

Vehicles in BFBC2 were too easily taken out (tracer dart rotor + gustav + explosives mod > blackhawk? Ffffffffuuuuuuuuuu), and all the other battlefield hashes didn't really cut it.

I've been having some of the most fun playing BF3 as a teamplay FPS, glitches aside, since 2004 and I'd easily pay another $42 for that (who pays retail price, seriously?).

I paid $50 for HL2 and $17 for DoD, a mod that was free for HL1 and then bought by Valve and released for Source. DoD:S had less content than DoD 3.1, cutting many of the weapons and maps. I paid money for a graphics update of a shittier version. Also, DoD:S was basically abandoned while there was still a large community and it began to dwindle as it got older and more obvious that Valve wasn't going to do shit like reintroduce all the weapons and maps they stripped.

Later, I paid another $50 for the HL2 Orange Box, because I'd be damned if I paid $20 for yet another mod, so I got the episodes that I never touched (only bought HL1/2 for the multiplayer and mods) and Portal which was an alright time waster. Then I watched TF2 get changed from a decent team based shooter into a parody of team based shooters with hats, cash shops, and eventually made free.

In retrospect, maybe it's a good thing Valve didn't support DoD:S as I would have raged much harder if I watched them mutilate one of my favorite mods w/ hats and mmo mechanics.

I actually bought TF2 when it came out so suck it

[–]parlezmoose 1 point2 points ago

Dude but you can't fly helicopters and fighter jets in TF2. Let's be real.

[–]jTronZero -1 points0 points ago

I'm playing Deus Ex: HR until Skyrim comes out. Because I like games that are good. No Origin, no rehashes, no problems.

[–]Deathmeister 0 points1 point ago

TIL Skyrim costs $60 even for the PC.

[–]skymanj 0 points1 point ago

I feel the same way about LoL! I mean, I didn't buy it at all. Sure, I spent hundreds of dollars on skins and champs, but its F2P!

[–]immafiremylaser 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, but hl2.exe crashes suck hard. The free thing is nice though.

BF3/285 drivers literally killed my video card yesterday.

luckily its an EVGA but stilll wtf. Sadly, Im not the only one this has hapened to either. Fucking nvidias drivers superOC'd it to hell and fried it. I tried playing the game with my old ass 4850 but even with everything set to low, 720p, i7, SSD and 12GB DDR3, I never get more than 30 FPS so its completely unplayable where as the 560TI it ran at max everything, 1080 at a constant 60 FPS (vsync on of course)

Its a shame really, because its a really goddamn good game despite the VOIP shitfest and no commander

[–]jM2me -1 points0 points ago

I could get two dances for $120, if you catch my drift

[–]MVilla 1 point2 points ago

I payed $60 for my TF2 :(

[–]IHeartAmber -1 points0 points ago

I bought neither because I have ~200+ other games I need to play first. I'll probably never get a chance to play them. ;_;

[–]Arvingorn 1 point2 points ago

$40 for the Orange Box. Thank you, Based Gabe.

[–]TheSeaCow 1 point2 points ago

....i have spent 200 dollars on tf2, we have no room to talk

[–]LordOfGummies 1 point2 points ago

I paid for TF2 when it was first released and IMO you free2playtards ruined the game.

[–]K-Mak 1 point2 points ago* 

Because you can fly a jet, fly a helicopter, have a surreal omfg moment watching your squad pour out of your personnel carrier, drive a tank, watch all of the above explode in a glorious fireball, call in artillery strikes, fire mortars, play co-op game modes, have pimp stat tracking, and use killstreaks to lay waste to your enemies in TF2 amirite?

I happen to own TF2, it's a decent game, it is not the best game ever made. Fact of the matter is more people would rather play MW3 and BF3. To each their own.

[–]nmezib 0 points1 point ago

I paid $22 for BF3.

[–]cuddles_the_destroye 0 points1 point ago

my friend gifted TF2 to me...about 3 days before it went F2P. Oh well. I much prefer TF2 to the other games simply because of the casual-demeanor community. I play not for the K/D ratio or some large number, but because it's fun. I'll get those games...after a few years when everything just gets goofy and players stop giving a f***. Case in point: Battlefield 1942.

[–]Cosmicand96 1 point2 points ago

Ive spend more than double the two games on Tf2. $60 would net me a nice amount of keys though.

[–]agentmanningctu 1 point2 points ago

BF3 for PC is only $50 for PC! Just saying...

[–]laughingplague 0 points1 point ago

Actually I'm pretty sure the MW3 players aren't upset. It's all just BF3 players making fun of them. I still haven't figured out why anyone cares if people like MW3 though. Like seriously did MW3 kill everyone's pets or parents or something?

[–]rmkbow 0 points1 point ago

I paid 38$ flat for BF3 limited edition key. Not bad for the price.

The only thing that pissed me off was not getting into the same team if you join as a party.

[–]Skute 0 points1 point ago

I have zero issues with BF3 on PS3!
