oibibibio Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I tried to get into this game, but I was much more into Quake 3 Arena... Much faster gameplay and better weapons imho who wants to get fragged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaksta303 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 LOVE IT Played through HL1 about a billion times, as recently as December. Played through HL2 a few times Played through EP1 once, last month Playing EP2 now, but for some reason it crashes my computer sometimes for no apparent reason. That started when I installed, then uninstalled oblivion... hmm... Have portal, will play soon. In conclusion, the HL series is one of my favorite evar.

sneaksta303 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 on a side note, i wonder why they replaced Louis Gosset Jr for Tony Todd as the voice of the Vortegaunts (sp?)... Interesting bit of trivia for the AA/NA folks - Louis Gosset Jr is in recovery. I heard him speak this year in St. Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Iron Eagle 1, 2, 3 and 4, I'd imagine that would drive anyone to drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q27 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 haha I tried Left 4 Dead yesterday, such a crap game. Just killing Zombies? Whats the fun in that? It's very much a team effort. Playing alone is boring, and playing with strangers isn't much better. Play with some friends, and you'll see the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dirty Protest Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Its quite depressing that we're talking about a game thats about 5 years old(not necessarily a bad thing, im old and fucked myself). The whole things a dying genre, were at the Shed Seven or Leathal Weapon 3 point of games. Someone must have a good idea of how to display graphics.

sneaksta303 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 just got dues ex. we shall see.... good so far though... not as engaging as half life though... probably because of the crazy alien deal HL has goin on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 good luck...it was an ugly game even when it was new...I hope you can get past the graphics and enjoy it. It's a funny game, the first time I played it I thought it was too over the top in both acting and plot devices, but on second playthrough it grew in brilliance.

lumpenprol Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 when I first landed in Hong Kong and got out on the streets I could have knelt and kissed the virtual pavement. It was like "Warren Spector gets it, finally a game to love besides Thief." The entire Hong Kong sequence was truly brilliant. The thing I like about the game most of all is that it does everything it can to the most of it's ability. If you tell any developer - ok, here are the constraints you face in terms of time, budget, how many polys the engine can push, etc - now I'd like you to balance augmentations, asset management, stealth, shooting, rpg + fps, character driven vs. run-and-gun, gradual revealing of plot with some good twists, etc...you couldn't get a better result than Deus Ex. It's the near perfect game given the constraints they were under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 yeah, hong kong in deus ex is probably one of my favourite game locations, ever. paris was fuckin' fantastic too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Really? I found Paris to be a bit of a disappointment - the sewers/catacombs segment was dull, there was nothing to to do in the bar...it just didn't do much for me. I thought the latter half of the game slumped just a bit, though the interlude at Morgan Everett's (am I remembering the name right?) was effing brilliant with two of the most ingenious easter eggs of any game, ever.

Terpentintollwut Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I like the Half Life games, very nice atmosphere, very good sounds too. BUT - I bought the Orange Box and while playing HL2 Epi2, in the mine-level after being chased by "the ancient one", this occured: This is not my picture, it's off google, hence it's a common error. (it was "Half-Life 2: hl2.exe" in my case) But Valve has yet to offer a solution for this crash that now happens every single time the game reaches a point where new data is loaded. The oldest support forum entries were made in 2004 and they're still "workin' on it" I could never finish the game because of it... re-install etc doesn't help.
