Thanks mate - I will try this,
@Vegeta897 We're going in circles now, half-life 2 looks good but not as good as modern games. I am trying to close that gap (if possible) so that it feels like I'm playing a current gen titan of a game like it should be
@Colonel Kernel Lol, I'm a little...
Not at all : ) I play diablo II and I find it awesome even after all these years - tis just that I want the hl2 experience to be a memorable one and I find that happens better when you have BOTH good graphics and good gameplay. Hl2 graphics aren't upgly but they aint got nothing on today's games...
Lol use all the pornographic metaphors you wish sir - I welcome it. In the words of a bboy "Express yoself!" xD
@Wanted Bob yes thank you Bob, I think I'll be trying this : )
@kupocake Oh nice i did not know that, thanks for the heads up
@Acepilotf14 lol I love zombies :P But agreed...
*Oh sht, sorry for the double post, Mods.
Thanks Lobster, I shall that that into consideration when I weigh up the pros/cons.
PS: could you link us to the citizen pic again? site doesn't allow hotlinking im afraid.
Ay yer, I think I'd fit in the latter brackets lmao but so long as they remain true to the spirit of the original. Applying that in this context, apparently they have not, which is a downright shame (referring to that bridge screenshot by CHillifan lol) so now I must weigh up whether the eye...
Bwahaha, oh shit that cracked me up good and proper mate xD Im talking stuff in the storyline and gameplay :P the story is all orginal yersh? and the maps so far as making your way through the terrain is concerned, they won't make you walk along that bridge I hope? xD And weopons O_O weopons are...
I see I see, thank you : ) I shall take that into mind, though I am still debating whether that an acceptable sacrifice for the eyecandy :P
Does the CM mod DRASTICALLY change anything inparticular in the game? Like i'm talking stuff that would absolutely appall fans, things they would...
Yes, please do, explain why the second is a violation of valve's "art direction" and not a graphical enhancement. Cos way Is ee it it has everything in the original, only it makes it look better.
YES HOLY SMOKES FIRST USEFUL REPLY!!!! Thank you my good, sir - your's is the most helpful reply...
Sharp High res texture > blurry low res texture. And yes, this is what I wanna know, how does it change the look and feel, examples if it aint too much trouble : D (just use the screenshots to demonstrate)
That my dear sir is the sole purpose of the thread : D To come to a decision whether to use the mod or not for my first playthrough, if I had time to test both out one by one I would simple have done so xD
Secondly I don't think of the original as the "way it was meant to be", more like they...
Haha Im really big on graphics though, I find they can do so much to enhance the experience of a game. It's the medium through which the story is told and I want that to be as presentable as possible. Would anyone else like to offer a comparison of CM vs original and why they think CM is bad?
Okay, but would you mind providing me with reasons and explanations? Why would you rather pass up the revamped graphics and how does the CM change the game overall?
Im really really thankful for your promt reply and I dont mean to sound ungrateful but I simply must disagree, the CM enhancements are world apart, mate! They make it look much much better with the textures and the lighting and so forth, here check it out for yourself. Furthermore, with the...
Dear Half lIfe fans,
I recently made the decision (an important one, many would consider) to finally play the half life 2 series. Today I am about to make another! I would like to ask for your opinions about using the "Cinematic Mod 10" for my first playthrough. I LOVE the graphical...
