• Buy GMod THEN HL2?
    23 replies, posted
I saw the Steam offer in which Steam takes 4.99 dollars for GMod and I just said "HOLYSHIT". Can I buy GMod right now, and THEN buy HL2? Or do I have to own it first? Otherwise, is it enough if I have HL2: Lost Coast or HL2DM? Because they are source-games too :3
Probably not. You need either HL2, CSS or DOD:S as far as I know.
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;17316360]Probably not. You need either HL2, CSS or DOD:S as far as I know.[/QUOTE] I bought Gmod and HL2: DM for only $10 total. :) (For the record, HL2: DM has everything Gmod needs from HL2 to run. And it's alot cheaper than the full-blown HL2 game.)
Oh, so it should work? :D
[QUOTE=Headcrabz;17316368]Oh, so it should work? :D[/QUOTE] yes.
Yay :D I'll buy it as soon as I get home :D
If you have Lost Coast you can buy Gmod without anything else. My friend did exactly that.
Hey eeh, I got it from the nVidia offer. Does it still work? :ohdear:
As long as you have a source-powered (hl2,hl2:ep1,hl2:ep2, Tf2: DoD:s CS:s and whatnot) game in [B]Steam[/B] You can buy Gmod. And it will function.
Gmod is standalone. You don't need to buy anything in order for it to work. If you want the content from the other source games though you have to buy them.
[QUOTE=NeoTheOne;17316597]Gmod is standalone. You don't need to buy anything in order for it to work.[/QUOTE] Uh, No it isn't. You need at least 1 source game.
But it should work with the nVidia offer games?
Yes it will
[QUOTE=Headcrabz;17316746]But it should work with the nVidia offer games?[/QUOTE] No. It won't work with the nvidia and ati offers. You'll have to buy a Source game. Best option is to just get the Orange box alongside GMod. Lots of great games for low price, and you'll instantly have most of the content GMod can mount.
[QUOTE=Headcrabz;17316746]But it should work with the nVidia offer games?[/QUOTE] I think it won't even let you buy it if you don't meet the requirements (a source game in this case)
In that case - asdf
But what if you have the Non-VALVE source games: The Ship, SiN, others...
They do not contain the right materials, I suppose. [editline]09:05PM[/editline] But hey, can I take my friends HL2 GCF and put in Steamapps? Shouldn't that be enough?

Damn...
[QUOTE=Headcrabz;17321988]But hey, can I take my friends HL2 GCF and put in Steamapps? Shouldn't that be enough?[/QUOTE] No, and that would be illegal.
Well, maybe I can buy GMod and then have it (unusable, ofc) until I get to buy HL2?
