I assume it's this one: http://imdb.com/gallery/ss/0115571/Ss/0115571/fcs_lt_0140.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0115571 Yeah, I can see the resemblance.

No, I'm really not a fan (for the most part). Tastes differ, I guess *shrug*. I think it was the 'Official Ending Poll' thread that you want to be flaming me in ... I'm looking forward to it :D

Smartass. I meant is Gordon even human, or is *he* an alien too. It's possible I have been thinking about this too much :E

Yeah, I can understand that. I'm not a SW fan, but it seemed to me like the 'new' star wars were stuffed in, rather than planned for? I'd hope for something a bit less trashy personally :) I agree with this, I have no problems with the execution of it. Which part of what I said were you...

I guess that's a nice way of looking at it. Prior to HL2, yes, but I'd argue they're driving the plot 'sideways' rather than 'forwards'. Who is Gordon? Who is the G-Man? On those questions, I'm no wiser! It's a bit like a hollywood sequel thing - "HL2 - STARRING GORDON FREEMAN AS YOU'VE NEVER...

It'll be a however-many-they-can-get-us-to-buy-ology. I don't honestly believe there's a grand 'plot arc' (has Laidlaw said differently?), so there's no reason it couldn't be 4/5/etc if the games sell. HHGTTG : Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy. Advertised as a trilogy but wasn't one...

For the most part it's just a good running joke. There's no great meaning, apart from what HecticGlenn has described. Of course, if you enter 'give weapon_biozeminade' in the console you get the biozem gun but I think everyone knows that now.

Hated it. Cheap, cheap ending which I saw coming from about 30 miles away. Big anticlimax to a good game. And to me the ending *should* answer some questions. What's the point of having a professional writer on-board and then not driving the plot forward (if indeed there is a plot for the...

This doesn't work for me, anyone else?

Some nice tricks in there, couple of times I thought 'I didn't know you could skip that bit so quickly'. Long though.

No they don't. And I've no idea what point you were originally trying to make, and I'm not sure you do either :)

It certainly is scripting - however its implemented is irrelevant, but much of HL2 works in terms of 'actor X do Y at Z time'. There's no room for emergence or variable behavior - it just follows the preset directions. To me, that's scripting - to insist that it's only scripting if it uses a...

Are you sure you aren't using map rather than changelevel the second time around?

I couldn't find the third battery either. So I just walked :)

Would seem a bit odd that the 'surprise' is an SDK though, which is only of interest to developers. DOD:S/CS:S updates are both expected and therefore not really surprises. HL2 level is good idea (and ATI stuff of course), I think they are most likely.

I guess I feel that HL2 is the better game now, but that HL1 was better for its time (if you see what I mean). HL2 still has too many scripted deaths for a modern game.

In 6 months time many more people will agree with you, but for now we're still trying to pretend that HL2 wasn't pretty pedestrian in places :)

Sorry, you need 46gig hd space and 3500 RAM. Better upgrade... ...yeah, of course it'll run, silly :)

Other way around, if anything. HL2 has no (new) multiplayer and little replay value. GTA & H2 (at least) will outsell it significantly, and will still be doing so months down the line. Console is a *big* market!

Probably didn't see dog more because the scripting would take too long. Besides, if he was there all the time it wouldn't be as cool.
