I like your ideas because they are simple and actually doable.
Snow storms could provide both amazing scenery and gameplay challenges. Mossman could help you in puzzles and\or by using aperture science equipment in combat (maybe she could provide some scientific know how and assistance in...
I think you do not understand the gravity and the urgency of the situation-
By losing the Citadel, the combine were in many way screwed- It is possible they had a whole array of super mega death beams of mass destruction, all rendered unusable by the destruction of the core in city 17...
for how much I love the games, I have to say I think that something is wrong about how the combat feels.
I'm talking about the way the player moves, the damage weapons do, the innocuous nature of the overwatch soldiers, the very small arsenal.
The game is great, and the gameplay is also. I...
want:
Aperture Science
GLAdos
Snow
Cool new graphic effects
New enemie(s)
new weapon(s)
do not want:
antlions, headcrabs, barnacles and zombie, AT ALL. Valve ditched the much more iconical marines from half-life 1 (and, well, the majority of the enemies from the first game). I...
I really hope there will be no zombies, headcrabs, antlions and barnacles in episode three. I mean come on I know they are part of the world and all that, but we fought them countless time now and they are not all that fun. It's not like they are the main antagonist of the game like the combine...
What's this, the sims? Tamagotchi?
I don't know, this "show emotion button" seems quite stupid and "cutey". If they are going to implement something like that they could go all the way and actually give lines for Gordon to speak.
Anyway, I guess Gordon doesn't care about Alyx or Eli...
I do think that hl2 has an excellent variety of situation. The enemies and the weapons are relatively few, but they are used creatively. Think about the fight with the gunship in the attic in episode one, the ambush sequence in episode two, etc; absolute gameplay brilliance. Every chapter in the...
Here is a funny trivia: italian "dubbers" are not dubbers and neither actors and their lines ****ing sucks. I suppose they just hired a bunch of illegal aliens with no acting skills to dub the game.
Everybody knew about the black mesa incident in half-life 2, you can even find newspaper clippings about it. So maybe glados just watched the news channel.
This is an extremely evil move. Valve is mean. 50 dollars? My god, Valve really killed episodic distribution.
I think it was ok with episode one. Less than 20 dollars for 3 hours of pure hl fun every 6 months\a year? **** yeah.
But waiting more than a year and paying 50 dollars for...
I don't know. Remeber that the combine only had access to earth after the cascade resonance and the portal storms. It looks like they can't teleport to earth so easily as you think. The earth citadels portals(as kleiner explains in his kleiner cast in episode one) have been disabled, so they...
Oh yeah, that was in decay. I totally forgot. Anyway, yes, it is correct. But I don't know if decay can be considered canon, it was from gearbox anyway
I was suggesting that the portal IS the character. It was a stupid joke anyway, about people always pulling out of their asses the strangest theories. I remeber that in 2003 or something a guy thought that dog was a tank, from a tank concept art screen. I mean a goddamned tank.
Also, did anybody notice the portal in the sky behind alyx in the "vehicle" screenshot? Does anybody else think the portal may be the new character (who actually survived from the black mesa incident) valve was talking about?
Actually, we know that other citadels exist in the world: remember when in episode one kleiner told about the portal network of the citadelS? (or something like that. He basically said that the core in the c17 citadel also mantained the portals in the other citadels).
So the overwatch still...
I disagree. A bunch of rebels resisting a massive invasion from a multidimensional empire? I think it would pussify the combine too much.
I think it's cooler this way. A group of rag tag rebels cannot stand against the might of the combine, so they rush desperately to close the SUPERPORTAL...
