i give this game a 15/10.

it fucking rocks.

excellent voice acting, EXTREMELY realistic visuals, especially the shadows, they're soft, and fade out with if the object is pulled further away from the light-source, far better than doom3.
water effects are jaw-dropping, nothing else like it
very, very detailed cut scenes, the facial expressions npc's make are amazing.

but don't forget, TEH PHYSICS!@#$@!
holy fucking shit, i've never had so much fun throwing trash and shooting barrels into people.

i was completely emmersed in this game within minutes. i've never felt so "there", if you will.

if you haven't gotten it yet, you're either dead, dead poor, or a retard. GO GET IT NOW!@#$

Title: Re: Half-life 2 tonight!
Post by: Blaze on November 22, 2004, 10:30 PM
Thats one way of getting things done, but what are the chances of them actually paying for something that isn't 100% for them?   //Only applys if they are actually cheap like the people I know  :P
Title: Re: Half-life 2 tonight!
Post by: Meh on November 23, 2004, 05:28 AM

Yes, thats most likely it. I find the game loads WAY too much, which also makes it a piece of shit.

I am at the point in the game where you control these bugs and stuff with this alien ball. They take everything out for you. It's fun I think.
Title: Re: Half-life 2 tonight!

Your about  5/8th done the game.
Title: Re: Half-life 2 tonight!
Post by: WoOdTroll on January 04, 2005, 05:16 PM
I am now at the part where you're going to those cells that get carried everywhere. But I don't see how I can be that far into the game when there are other cds.
Title: Re: Half-life 2 tonight!
Post by: j0k3r on January 04, 2005, 05:52 PM
Typically the CDs themselves are for install, with one acting as the playdisc, it's not like xbox.

You're pretty close to the end. I beat it yesterday, the ending isn't too great.
Title: Re: Half-life 2 tonight!
Post by: Blaze on January 05, 2005, 10:50 AM
Not this one j0k3r, Its a one-time install. Though you need a steam account to play it, and a valid half-life2 cdkey registered to that account.

Post by: Meh on January 05, 2005, 10:58 AM
Some how my saved game got deleted. Does anybody have a save up as far as the bugs you can control by the turrets please? It would be greatly apreciated. Thanks. Either post a link, email me or PM me. Thanks so much in advance!
Title: Re: Half-life 2 tonight!
Post by: WoOdTroll on January 05, 2005, 03:12 PM
I would've helped you out MeH, But  I reformatted. And the game and everythings now gone, except my main things.
