Are YOU obsessed?

[Bing_Oh]

Now, wel all know that HL2 is gonna just ROCK. But, here's a little "what-if" test just to see HOW obsessed with HL you really are...

Here's the scenario...HL2 has been released. And, naturally, you have every intention of going out and obtaining your copy by whatever means necessary. So, you're fully prepaired to get your copy...you've got your cash, you've got your car keys, you're ready to rock and roll. As a spur-of-the-moment thing, you decide to check out the rave reviews on your FAVORITE gaming website before leaving your house on your holy quest. And...SHOCK AND HORROR! Your favorite website has given HL2 abysmal reviews! They call it garbage! They tell their readers that HL2 is Daikatana...only without the good parts!

So, my fellow intrepid HL2 fanatics...what do you do? I'll even be a nice guy and give you some options (write-ins welcome, of course).

A. As a wise shopper, you immediately check other gaming sites for their reviews. Forewarned is forearmed, after all.

B. You decide against buying HL2 (or wait for it to hit the bargain bins) based on your favorite gaming site's reviews. After all, they've never let you down before.

C. You go out and buy your copy of HL2...despite what the reviews say. You were never one to follow the croud anyways.

D. You take the time to send a nasty, scalding e-mail (with a virus attachment) to your formerly-favorite gaming site about their review before going to buy all three different versions of HL2. Who cares if you have yet to play the game...IT'S HL2 so it's GOTTA BE GOOD!!!

:cheese:

I'd read some other reviews first and if they all mainly say the same thing then I would buy HL2, copy it at home, and then take the original copy back to the shop. Oh wait no i wouldn't if it was crap.

don't know man.

 

[The Mullinator]

Of course you buy HL2, if the game itself is terrible then I will simply buy it and wait for the decent mods to come out.

Nr C: You go out and buy your copy of HL2...despite what the reviews say. You were never one to follow the croud anyways.

But I would never check out a gaming website before buying it.

I can assure you it is not. In fact, VALVe could have made a big room.. put lots of barrels and stuff in it, and give you the manipulator gun and it would be an awesome game.

A.

I have no idea why anyone would choose anything otherwise.
if it sucks why pay for it?

that being said, the likelyness of HL2 sucking is 1million to one

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Am I obsessed over Half-Life 2... Simply put: yes

 

[eber]

i will buy half-life whatever happens.

 

[Moejoe]

C, no doubt. I'd judge it myself. There are plenty of games i've played that i thought were wonderful and a lot of review sites gave it crap reviews.

 

[Sprafa]

In response to the topic, not to the 1st post - I am obsessed, yes. I live for HL2

 

[SubKamran]

C...no duh Plus I have no choice, it's pre-ordered for me.
