demo or no demo

***Garyn*** · October 3rd, 1999

instead of me downloading the mega-huge 50mb demo, i thought i would ask if half-life is good enough for me to just buy. i know all of you will obviously say "it's awesome, go get it" but is it worth dishing out the cash to get it? i have downloaded 4 games in the last 2 days, totaling like 300mb, and my hd is only 2.1gig, so, getting the demo basically aint an option, so, your assignment is to give me 20, reasons why to get half-life, its due soon

I think theres a smaller version of the Demo available. Like 15MB's or so.

Buy the game!! It was just rated the best game of all time by PcGamer!

and redm the 15mb demo is only if you have halflife already.

i decided to spend my hard earned money on half-life. i ordered it from gamedealer. anyways, what is the "game of the year edition"? i know it has more stuff, but it costs a hella lot more. so i just got the regular cuz it was cheaper, should i have gotten the game of the year edition? if so, please give 20 reasons why.

No you shouldnt have bought it. All it has is TFC witch you can download for free. It is 20mb and if you dont want to wait that long I guess it would be worth it.
