Let me start by saying, I found EP1 really fun and enjoyable. The following did detract from the game, but did not make it anything less than excellent.
Right, now, dear valve, you appear to have forgotten a couple of the rules of making a game, which are as foolow. Thou shalt...
...NOT make me die suddenly. I should NEVER be forced to die, then reload a section and play again with the knowledge gained from the previous life. There fore, no dropping me into an area infested with mines, forcing me to replay and contort myself in ways that a romanian gymnast would find uncomfortable to dig out said mines. Fair enough, if I don't look before I leap, redecorate the walls in gordon freeman orange, but if I look, I should see the mines. There are other bits like this, stop it.
...give me a goddamn gun. Yes, the grav gun end level of the last game was fun, however, it is now old. If you want me to kill people, give me a shotgun and get out of the way.
...if you are going to make me babysit someone, AND arn't going to give me a gun, at least give them common sense. Having to reload the game because my parter has no sence but to stand in a big open area and get shot at is not fun. Same goes for standing toe to toe with zombies. She has a gun, make her back off and fire.
...stop dropping poison headcrabs on me. They give me the willys (This ones optional)
...bloody autosave. If I survive a mass attack from an endless supply of enemies whilst waiting for a bloody lift, at least have the decency to autosave so I don't have to play it again when I don't notice the bloody poison headcrabs half a level later.
...make me wait till my team mate despatchs a bloody great ant lion guard thats chasing me around a bloody area.
...the snipers are clearly haxoring, VAC should run and they should be banned.
The first couple are serious, the rest are mostly kidding. As I say, I really did enjoy the game, this isn't me saying its crap, just that there were a couple of problems.
