I just finished the best game ever.;(

Having finished doom3 not two weeks ago, I started HL2 ( having owned a copy for a few months ). I loved HL1 when I played it years ago but for some reason I wasn't really bothered about HL2, even having seen the promo movie.
Then when I started it, I was like ' yea, seems ok, doubt it'll be as good as all the hype though or even doom3 ". Got to the water canals section and oh boy, now I was starting to see it. From then on, it just kept getting better and better and better. Every few moments, there was something new, it never got old. What can anyone say about the graphics and the physics other than utterly amazing? How on earth did they do it, it defies belief the way they put this game together so incredibly well. I loved every second of it. The challenge was just right, never too hard but hard enough to make you feel satisfied when you succeeded. The sounds throughout were fantastic from the screaming zombies to the boat and beach buggy, to the gut wrenching explosions. I can't imagine playing any other game now that'll be as much fun, because half life 2 is like a multi million dollar hollywood epic with so many goodies packed into it. It was worth the 5 years it took to make it, and when I read the rare review by someone that thought it sucked it makes me wonder if they had the right game installed.

Anyway, thanks valve for a great ride! :cheers:
 
congratulations :thumbs:
it really is an excellent game
pity i cant really recommend any decent mods to you to extend the games lifespan yet
 
Thanks. Do you know much about the episodes coming out? How many and if they'd be anywhere near as big? Considering it took so long to produce HL2, I wonder how spectacular these episodes could be after the original sequel? I wonder if they have any new vehicles and big bosses up their sleeve to add to the striders, drop ships, buggy and boat.
 
Hardly anything is known about "Episode 1", except that it's apparently 1/3 of the length of HL2, and coming out in late April.
 
Ah, I've spotted the aftermath forum, lots of talk in there about the episodes. Well, if there's 3 episodes and they come out over say a year, I will probably wait and get them all in one go. I prefer a full game myself.

I agree, doom3 was repetitive and nothing like as spectacular as HL2. I'm glad I played doom3 before HL2 though. I enjoyed doom3 a lot, but with hindsight, it was equivalent to the support band before the megastars take the stage.
 
Glad you loved the game. Even tho Hl2 was one of the best games of all time. I feel Doom 3 did its share. Loved both but you just can compare.
 
That sinking feeling, when you know it's over, and there's no more. It never goes away.
 
Thanks UltimaApocalyspe, I'll check out minerva.
I downloaded 'Causality Effect' mod last night. What do you think of that one?
 
www.metacritic.com is the best source for reviews because it averages all of them
and halflife2 shatters the opposition on average
democracy rocks :thumbs:
