well after installing it took an hour getting it to work took 2 hours and playing it for three hours i have come to the conclusion that half life two is excelent! lol i have to have all my graphic setting set to 0 or the game just crashes, i had to write something into the command line to get the menu's to work, but it still looks fantastic, would look so good on a deacent spec machine the realism of falling and moving objects is fantastic, just got my hands on the gravity gun so gonna do some damage with that but now im tired and its stressed me out getting it to work so im going to bed!
P.S. really really should not have got this game at all its my final year at uni and i got pooe loads to do and im messing about with this all day ahh!
got really into it for the first time last night. It is foooooking amazing!!! The physics of moving objects etc is stunning!
The only complaint I have is I think they overdid it with the 'put heavy/light objects on/under/near a ramp type thing to make it pivot so you can walk/jump/drive off it to proceed' type puzzle. Best I can do really, the game rocks a fat one
haha yeah i've only played for a bit and found about 4 of those puzzles so far! its looks so good though you forgive it!
lol the puzzles are a breath of fresh air tho, as they have not been done before as i suppose they coulndt before just forced myself not to play it all day and now ive just finished an essay so i think i deserve a go lol! the gravidy gun is funny and that big dog whats that all about lol!
lol i'm just past that bit at the mo. Was just stood on the jetty for ages on zoom just going "ooooooooooooh" at stuff. The water looks incredible!
I think i may have to treat myself today!! But ive already got Pro Evo 4 and NFSU2 arriving for the PS2 today, and ive hardly scratched the surface of GTA:SA and Colin McRae 2005. Doh....just not enough time in the day!!
WOW! Its stunning, amazing. Totally immersive and so much better than the first game. Its also very linear which i like of FPS games, you want action not to be wandering round! Fantastic!! Only just got the machine gun in the canal section!!
I've just finished the buggy section, wish I'd realised that the crane could pick up the shipping containers before I'd disposed of the combine troops, I could have tried swinging the containers into them
I'm up to Follow Freeman so far....it get's even better the further you get, graphically and action wise.
I think the linear approach works in it favour, its the kind of game where you'll end up playing it for hours just to get that bit further whereas a game like gta:sa you get to a point where you only dip into it for an hour or so.
