How did you like Ravenholm?

[bat_lyubo]

How did you like the Chapter Raveholm. I found it very interesting for the first hour. After that it was too tedious, but the edn was rewarding.

I feel between options #1 and #2. I enjoyed playing it, but it had its mistakes. A few tweaks should be done and then it'd be a blast.

 

[Loke]

It was very good, very tense and quite scary sometimes. I also like it when you come out from the mines and see this train yard and a nice music kicks in. Awesome.
I would like to see more similar areas in Mods or perhaps Aftermath.

My favourite part is Nova Prospekt though.

scary. kinda like Nova but way more scarier.

 

[Pauly]

It was a good sidetrack from beating up the combine and I found it quite amusing chapter.

Insane preacher with sneakers, a shotgun covered in zombie blood with a russian accent who sporadically erupts into insane laughter? How could you not love Ravenholm?

 

[Ravatar]

It was cool until I got this piece of board stuck on my boot and tried to repeatedly jump to get it off and somehow ended the level in 180 seconds. huh...


All kidding aside, I enjoyed the Father Grigory audio cutscenes as I played through the town part; it was also a nice showcase of the "spooky side" of the source engine.

I liked it but could've used more zombie variations (and bullsquids!) and less of the fast ones.

 

[Asknoone]

Very good, dam enjoyable. Glad it was only a chapter though.

 

[knut]

I loved it.

I still fail to see what was scary about the fast zombies.

I just finished it today. I really liked the atmosphere but there could have been more music. Now I'm in the mines, oh joy more frickin crabs!!! I hate those poison ones. I like Grigor and the final fight was cool but got repetiive. It would have been fun with one big BOSS right after these guys, it would have fit perfectly into this arcade style.

 

[Asknoone]

I think it was fine without a boss. A boss might have been too generic. Depends how it would have been executed...

Very good, dam enjoyable. Glad it was only a chapter though.

same, if it was 2 chapters it woulda been pushing it, still quite scary after all the times i've played it, the use of the grav gun and traps was fun...

A gonarch could maybe have worked, but I am generally opposed to bosses.

 

[Asknoone]

I really don't mind bosses, in fact I'd go so far as to say I like them in games but unfortauntley the general execution of boss fights in games is rather poor.

A Gonarch might have worked, yes. It would definatley have fit into the story well - Combine not only launch parasite rockets but a full blown Gonarch into the area to continue breeding. Perhaps in the mines.

 

[bat_lyubo]

Hmm. Nice. I thpught that geberally people hate it. Its different n thats wat i like. I like the first hour of it, until u get to the part where u need to shift some craines and there are about a million headcrabs and zombies. That was scary n sorta too much for a old night.

 

[Laivasse]

My opinion on Ravenholm is "Very nice - I DON'T WANT ANY MORE OF IT!!" It's stressful, but good fun in the overall scheme of HL2.

 

[knut]

Yeah, there were times when I would just think 'I want out!' but it was fun.

 

[Sieg]

Personally, I loved it, because when I got out of the mines, the sun started to rise (For real) and I was toally relived, even though it was easy.

 

[NEW42]

i liked the level, but i just like it when the sun comes up, like Sieg said. Me no like dark

Ye I loved the sunlisght, I wanted the game to end then, with no harm done. But I knew it wont, coz there are dirty zombies n Combine out there.
BTW, I hated sandtraps, im sick of it. And also the beginning of Highway 17 is tedious.

Why is the beginning tedious?

 

[bat_lyubo]

coz it took me half an hour to find a way up the hill with the buggy and them flyin pests got on my nerves

 

[Salad22]

HA! Ravenholm was a way to easy chapter, but very enjoyable.

First time I was kinda a little careful. Was a little bit scared too tought.
But later when I was experienced ravelholm was damn funny.

No Stressful enemies, all relax with slow zombies and poison zombies.:smoking:
Just relax and play, BTW you kill real aliens there too. :sniper:
