does episode 1 look like this? or even HL2? Cause this looks awesome
yeap.
yeah, it does. i've been playing it at my pals house. it's one of the most unique and satisfying game experiences i've EVER had. i just shake my head. . .
good news for you: http://www.joystiq.com/2006/07/13/half-life-2-confirmed-for-xbox-360-ps3/
it's going to be dead sexy
woah cool i cant wait to try this... for pc tho don't think i could bare to play the twitch style fps on console. but at least wii will fix this problem in the future :)
but someone just gave me a free copy for pc! im so excited!
I have no problem with this game, why is it that only Halo people have a problem with?
This is a weird thing. I didn't know that other "halo" lovers don't like Half-Life. I'm not one of them, but I DO find that I have a really really hard time with playing HL-based multiplayer games. I stink...which stinks.
Get me on Halo, and I'm a different animal. Same with Q3 back in the day. I could tear people up. TONS of rail gun shots while guys were in midair. I'd fire a rocket, and could predict exactly where you'd land, and send another there. HL, back in the day, I put up something of a fight, but I'd get owned usually by larry, brandon, or ian.
I'm not sure what you're asking here...
Is HL2 any less boring than HL1?
A lot less.
ok.. my official review.
I think i should probably spoiler tag alot of this, but.. whatever... i dont think anyone that really cares is gonna read it.
But anyways. AMAZING pick up from the last moments of HL2. The Citdel exploding... alyx saved by these strange group of Vortigaunts.. THEN they defend you from the G-Man...
So many cool moments in this game. I mean right off the bat, you meet up with Alyx and Dog... trying to sneak BACK into the Citadel, but you run into a problem. A HUGE drop between you and where you need to go... how to fix it? Dog THROWS you in a wrecked car across! I mean, how COOL is that! hahaha.
Moments like that keep happening, i am only about an hour or 2 into the game and my jaw just keeps on dropping. Alyx is the hottest and best sidekick you could ask for. She NEVER dies and NEVER runs outta ammo... and has some pretty funny and witty lines as well.
Characters are reused with a few new ones thrown in. Headcrabs on Combine... they rush you, and pull out a gernade and go all kamikazi... sooo anoyying.
But overall... im excited about finishing it up to see where everything will end up. If you guys wanna try it out, i could hook you up with my Steam login or whatever.
ARGH, spoiler tag that junk plzkthx
you read the shack stuff tho, and they didnt spoil tag!
i read like 2 comments. both used spoiler tags. :/

lol Alyx is the hottest and best sidekick you could ask for.
