But it has zombies. Zombies I tell you! Sheer innovation right there.

I liked HL2, albiet my mistress, World of Warcraft, wouldn't let me finish it. I told a buddy where i am in the game, and he said 'dude, you're like 1 hour gameplay from the end'.


4.5 months later, i'm still no closer to the end 🙂

lvl 60 priest ftw 😀

Ravenholm gave me nightmares. I loved it while I was playing it... and hated it the rest of the night.

I dunno, that's a pretty tough statement to back up. I would say that Ravenholm was fun and it was a very unique level, but I didn't like how puzzle-esque it was.

It was somewhat scary towards the end, but for the most part I wasn't too jumpy while playing it. </epenis enlargment 😛>

Overall I'd say HL2 is one of the better FPSs that I've played through, but then again I like the story.

Btw, apart from Highway 17 and one other place, Ravenholm was the only time I spotted the G-Man during the game. Who does his voice? Because I could have sworn I was watching something on TV and the guy had the EXACT same voice and EXACT same way of talking. I think it was the Star Wars Ep 3 trailer.

I liked everything about Half Life 2.......except the ending.

I NEVER saw G-Man outside of the beginning/end sequences.

good to see everything worked out for you bro 🙂

There are 20+ times you can see him. I looked it up on Google the day I beat the game and realized how much a n00b I was for being proud of catching him 3 times.

While the storyline was a bit predictable, in how many games can u chuck sawblades at the enemy and cleave them in two?

 

[Pandaren]

I didn't find Ravenholm that hard, though it did have its scary moments with the fast zombies.

Anticitizen One and Follow Freeman had some pretty intense urban combat. I remember fighting house to house, my entire squad getting killed, and tripods blasting the crap out of everything 🙁

 

[clickynext]

Ravenholm had too many of those poison headcrabs, which are too close to spiders for the comfort of my arachophobia, so I didn't enjoy it too much. Eventually I just got bored of that game. MGS3 was much more enjoyable, so I went to that instead.

Funny I was going to post this verbatim

Well, I'm finally out of that hellhole, but some dude with a blue laser sight keeps nailing me. 🙁

Only way to prang those bastards is to lob a grenade or other explosive into their window. they don't even EXIST until that happens.

I guess the game just didn't capture my attention enough to get me to explore.

That's fine for the first guy, but I can never get close enough to the second guy.

IIRC, you're supposed to TAKE COVER.

Why is Half Life 2 so bad?

It's an indescribeable level of suck. In fact, it is the epitome of suck.

And what do you consider to be a good game? Myst:disgust:

First, the storyline was retarded. "HEY, IT'S G-MAN COME TO SEND FREEMAN TO GO DO CRAP!" followed by some token Black Mesa references and images of a planet that wasn't too terribly fvcked but was still TOTALLY disconnected from the world in which Black Mesa had existed, some EXPLANATION on how things got that way in the lifetime of one person would be helpful. And then, come the end of the game, G-Man just yanks you back out and drops you into the darkness again. w00t w00t for predictable! I won't even give it points for being a cliffhanger, because we all know that HL3 will be a post-post apocalyptic world set about 10 years post-HL2 and involve G-Man tossing Gordon back into the real world to correct some other stupid threat to the G-man's real employer and the real ruler of the world (whoever the hell that may be, but who cares at this point).

Second, gameplay wasn't exactly innovative. It felt like HL1 all over again, except with the ability to throw crates. Woohoo. It wasn't until you got the juiced-up gravity gun on the last level that things got interesting (but at that point, they also stripped you of your normal weapons, so you were SOL for anything else entertaining). I will admit that there is a rather sizeable pelasure to be derived from throwing a gigantic computer console into a squad of enemies and watching them fly, but it was too little, too late.

The graphics were decent. The buildings still seemed abnormally square. it gets major atmosphere points for some spots, though. The one scene in the entire game that I'll never forget, believe it or not, is the playground in front of the first apartment complex right after you start the game. It was just a haunting image, all that rusted out, overgrown stuff with soldiers lurking right around the corner. But other than that, nothing much, really.

Soundtrack? I sure as hell didn't notice any. SFX? Same as any other FPS these days.

Oh, and of course, it loses major points for being distributed on Steam. That's just NOT how you're supposed to distribute huge software titles, it's too infrastructure intensive and limits your customer base to those that can understand how it works.

no

I concur with suse920. Your opinion, EyeMWing, is wrong.

Oh dear, a n00b and a lurker disagree with me. /me AFK: Seppuku.
