I'd say the gameplay was polished in terms of it not being glitchy or anything, but that doesn't make it fun. I, uh, don't think there was much of a script to even be top notch. The plot was all over the place. A few random snippets of dialogue, y'know. Meh, Quake 4 was about equal to Episode 1...

I thought Samon was the only moderator on these forums...

Do you type with your fingers or just bash the keyboard with that empty lump of bone and flesh you call a head? I read reviews and I looked on these and the GameFAQ forums before I bought the game (which I only got the Saturday before I made this post). Note how I addressed a variety of points...

Biggest frigging waste of £20. Ever. It was all the worst bits of Half-Life 2's gameplay with some nicer graphics. Alyx was an average partner (very overhyped), not annoying or dislikable or anything, but I didn't find her particularly likeable or useful either. It was shorter than I actually...

Having beaten the game now, I feel a bit cheated enemy wise. (and money wise for that matter) Zombines didn't even seem like new enemies. They were basically tough zombies with the tiniest tweaks and a kamikaze move. I only heard the much-talked about groan of them once and it didn't have much...

(A little unsure where to make this thread so I put it here) Yeah, I was hoping to uninstall Lost Coast and Deathmatch from my computer and I'm not entirely sure how to do it...Is it the delete local game files option in Steam or what? Oh, and I downloaded Half-Life 2, legally, but...

So are the zombines just a combine-esque skin for zombies? What are the stalkers like?

What happened to that cool HUD from ages ago? EDIT: As seen in this shot: http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=official11qf2qi.jpg

As I've said before I preferred Opposing Force to the original Half-Life, in pretty much every way. Shephards puzzles and weapons were kinda cooler than Gordon's which makes him a better character for me as far as speechless FPS heroes go. So there, Samon. :P

Okay, I haven't gotten Episode 1 yet...I was just wondering what the new enemies are. I haven't seen any in screenshots yet.

Xen is an inbetween world. It's another plane of existence really.

I'm sure to get pelted for this, but my fave is Dust...

While the kick was ultra funky, a lot of the weapons in SMOD were useless and more than a bit poo. And it was just a weapon pack with slow-mo. Substance actually brought some originality, good weapons, and some real design into it. Even if I didn't really like it.

Yeah, sorry to ask this question: Can someone PM me the scans too?

I think the weapons need particular sprucing up. The weapons sucked immesnsely in HL2... From ammo limitations to well...Everything. Unbalanced and unfun... Some more alien weapons would be nice...
