So we who bought the HL2: GOLD get ripped off? Or am I missing something here? Haven't checked it out yet though.

Why the one in stores is a lot more expensive.

CAUSE IT'S FRICKIN RETARDED TO BUY A GUIDE.
AND THAT ONE IS FRICKIN EXPENSIVE.
SO IT'S MORE FRICKIN RETARDED!

Am I retarded for buying my guide? No, are you retarded for typing in caps? Yes.

 

[WritingARequiem]

The only thing that sounds interesting is the secrets like GMAN locations. But if you cant kill a combine soldier, and you need to buy a guide to find out that the head is pretty vulnerable....

 

[rocklegendfm99]

thanks, i am the best.

15 year olds on forums rule.

[BabyHeadCrab]

A CS/DOD strat guide..um.. yay?

 

[skull24]

Dose anyone know when Half-Life 2: Mod Maker's Source Guide : Prima's Official Strategy Guide is coming out or whats taking so long? I heard it was canceled.

 

[Ghroth]

if you need a strat guide for DoD and CS CZ you need to be shot on site :E
those guids are just an excues for prima to make $ :imu:

if prima was smart they would make a strat guid to the SDK with full documentation, usage, and tutorial listings from beginner to advanced

:cheers:

sofar the only strat guide that has ever been any use was GTA3 vice city, and it's package locations

True, I'll bet mod makers would love that.

Same here, who is so dumb to buy this bullcrap, same goes for people who buy it in stores

 

[Mr-Fusion]

I wouldn't ever by a game guide. I prefer learning games myself, that's half the fun. It's like reading how to..snowboard. Who the **** would do that? JUST GET OUT THERE AND START SNOWBOARDING!

and then falling and breaking your neck

I wouldn't buy a guide either I think. The only thing I'm interested are the gravgun strategies but I'm not buying a +300 page guide for that

Agreed. Same for HL2. HL2 is a piece of piss. Why in God's name would anyone want a strategy guide for it unless they want to line Prima's pockets or buy into the whole HL2 hype machine?

Agreed with that as well. Prima was supposed to make making such a guide. It was even up on Amazon (I think it still is). Unfortunately though it has now been pulled (I received an e-mail from a Prima staff member confirming this).

 

[Unfocused]

No thx, I'll rather check the free guides that are already on the net if I need a tip.

 

[sabre0001]

Would be nice if they did the mod guide instead of this crap that you can buy in shops, find on the net, ASK PEOPLE ABOUT or many other ways of obtaining info - life playing the game and practicing..

 

[Mr-Fusion]

and then falling and breaking your neck

well you should have read the manual!!

 

[lemonfridge]

a CS strat guide? what for?

"ive found the hostages but what now? how do i get to the next level??"

"how do i defeat the guy at the end of the bridge on the aztec level? he kills me every time!!"

 

[polyguns]

why is this news? tech tv did a whole show on walkthroughs through hl2, and theres hoards of hl2 walkthroughs out there?

There...if you REALLY need a guide then go there and choose out of many. And plus, they're free.
