Once you finished the test, you are no use anymore. Glados just makes statistics about how people react and understand the portals use. When you succeed, she does the same as we do with lab rats, a clean desinfection process to ensure that the new tester wont be spoiled be the older ones.
The day we will get streaming water and waves using the water quality of HL2 it will be ok, but for the moment the HL2 water looks nice but is totally unrealistic except for a very calm water. Making lakes and seas with totally flat and quiet water looks definitely weird!
The problem in HL2 is the way the collision are detected. Unfortunately they still have kept the old bounding box method. When you use this with physics and a complex environment you always feel like beeing stucked by even small objects on the ground or on the walls.
In HL1 the environment was...
I don't think that Half-Life really need a totally explicit story. In fact i think that most of the success of that game come from that fuzzy storyline. So anyone can have his own Half-Life story corresponding to his imagination.
Just play one of those totally directive game where you can't do...
I really don't understand why some people develop so much energy in trying to put some sense in that story.
HL1 story did not had much sense mixing paralell universe, zombies, soldiers. This was only put toghether to give a nice playing experience, but if you start to try to find explanations...
The whole universe is made of holes. Our life is full of holes, it starts getting out of one and end by going down in another one!:naughty:
In fact atoms are almost empty, there is an extremely thinny core and a very diffuse electrons cloud that spin around it.
We are all made of emptyness...
If this guy doesn't take care of his stuff, it's not our problem. It's a good lesson for him to learn how to store valuable things so he can find them later.
His CD is corrupted, so he must have let it out of the box for months on his desk or even on the ground, same with the serial.
I'm the...
So we just have to hope that since next summer they will not have another brilliant idea to apply to EP2 or it will be delayed again untill Christmas. And maybe that before Christmas 2007 there will be once again a complete rebuild of the game to use DirectX 10 and multithreading for the new...
The problem with the rebels is not that they have been designed to be stupid and look like poor soldiers, but that their AI is absolutely not effective.
As i'm a moder and a coder, i have looked deeply in the AI code and i've noticed that since the first Half-Life it has become far more...
And much more than just discover, the great thing in that game it's that there is a master line and everything else, it's up to you to make your own story. So everyone has his own half-life, there is not just one story, but it depend much on your imagination.
OHH great, we will be able to play golf with heads and showel again !!!
I'm 47, i'm the father of two children and finaly i prefer that kind of game than those where you spend all your time killing people, aliens, with no blood, no gibs. Killing someone with a bullet in the head is not a clean...
The only purpose of the Gman is to cause an intense brain masturbation among the players, that's all. I don't think that anyone at Valve ever know who he is or who are is masters. He was put there as the strange factor, now they must have a serious headhache to find a good way to explain...
