This game owns (and I own it hahahahaha *pokes Revvy repeatedly*). Discuss.

[gofer-chan]

I own it as well, just got to the airboat sequence and I love it

[Spectere]

You have good taste in games, gofer.

The airboat sequence was a bit long, but it was pretty exciting, especially plowing through the waters, machinegun bullets bloody following you, and being completely unable to defend yourself.

[paulguy]

My computer's shit but I would like top play it though.

[weasel]

Three factors behind me NOT having this game yet:

1. My computer is too slow and still runs Windows 98 SE - I guess HL2 would need a much faster CPU. Does it require Windows XP like Doom 3 did?
2. Don't have the money. I don't even have a job.
3. Steam authentication required. Even if somebody else in my family bought the game, I'd have to play it on their computer because installing it on my computer wouldn't work.

DING!

Wildweasel posting in a thread about a popular game stating he cannot run it on his computer/is not getting it: CHECK!

[Zenith Nadir]

yeah that's pretty annoying

generally when someone starts a thread about some game they want to discuss the game, not listen to someone bitch about their shitty computer

seriously who cares

if you're not getting it, don't post

[Bramble]

harsh, harsh. gees.

anyway, I've played the first half life I think, I liked it alright, maybe I'll see if someone else has it and try it out. sorry, don't have much to say about this game except that the first was good to me.

[GetDizzy]

I will get it as soon as I get a video card that will support it (which is in december when I get my new video card)

have you played half-life 2 its fun

[Zenith Nadir]

blam

[Dr_Dos]

Digustipated rocked just because of the Carrot holocaust line.

[duvel]

Eh, I'm happy with Mortal Kombat Deception, THUG2, and Star Wars: Battlefront. I probably won't buy it unless they port it.

[Xombie]

This game is beyond amazing. The fools who thought Doom 3 would be better are all in denial now. Sure, the lighting was better... but only by a little bit. Every single element that I enjoyed for the (wording here specifically for gofer) bastard evil unholy pirate broken pre-alpha stolen demo was made better in the full game. It even runs better than Doom 3 on older systems, which is a big selling point. The only problem I have is the authentication that requires you to use steam. Fuck that. I did buy the game instead of pirate it, but then cracked it so I didn't need steam. Steam is a worthless excuse for a program.

They can't port this, there's no way it could run on a console.

[gofer-chan]

fake edit (can't edit since i'm on parole): xombie yeah, i can understand why they do the whole steam authentication thing but it's a bitch having to run it every time you play. i cracked it too.

[Revvy]

Attention, HL2 is being ported to the XBOX. Also, it's being given full support for that Linux prog that runs windows games out of the box.

[apage43]

Cedega? Sw33t. Now I'm going to have to invest in a video card and more RAM
EDIT: And a cedega description subscription (EDIT 2: I wrote 'description'? What the fuck? ) ... ... and halflife 2 Stupid games making me want to spend my moneys

half-life 2 for the xbox was cancelled a while back

the xbox port of doom 3 coming out is crippled as hell and nowhere near as well-running as the PC version, and there's no way they can get half-life 2 on there. if they do it'd be waay in the future, but i'm pretty confident they won't, since they did cancel it a while back.

[Spectere]

If they did port Half-Life 2 I'm sure that it would be aimed at the new XBox (XBox Next?) if anything. I'd imagine (or, rather, hope) that the new XBox would at least be able to at least make it look as good as a computer on medium detail would (i.e. mine ).

Half-Life 2 - Headed To Xbox?

A bunch of you have recently been e-mailing us about Half-Life 2 for Xbox, and when it would be out if it is in-fact real. I decided to help you all out and get a official response from VALVe.

Doug Lombardi had this to say:

    "We've only announced that we're doing an Xbox version -- not dates just yet."

There you have it, there is going to be a Xbox version but dates for it are unknown as of this time.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

[Spectere]

Ugh...that's going to be terrible. It's not going to look any better than Halo, methinks.

touche! last source i saw was a gamespot article from months and months ago saying it was pretty much cancelled, but that definitely overrules it.

i doubt it'll be any good though if they pull it off, awesome, i just don't think they can.

[Zenith Nadir]

i got censored by the man again

which makes me sad because disgustipated is awesome

this is what i found when i searched for 'oppression'



the anguish this causes me is immense

[Skylark]

Whee... I'll probably get flamed for this, but if the Half-Life 2 engine is anything like the Half-Life 1 engine (which is inevitable, and the Half-Life 1 engine pissed me off to no end; the GeoMod engine for the Red Faction series is a million times better in my opinion), there's no WAY I'm buying it.

IMO, HL1 was better on PS2 than on PC... and that's just sad. :(

Either way, I'm not buying HL2.

[Dr Lancer-X]

The Source engine > Red Faction engine, by a lot.

Check out some of the animated cinema stuff showing off the source engine, it's pretty neat.
