Gabe sayd once that half-life 2 shouldnt be seen as a competetion correct me if im wrong
look @ the original half life 2 site
 
you don't have to sugar coat it, tell us what you mean.............................. :eek:
 
I've been trying to figure out what you're trying to get across to us, and I dont get it. Maybe deciphering your grammar is the third test?
 
CNN gave the quote on the website, not Gabe.
 
gabe sayd half life 2 didnt needed to be seen as a competition
 
Why do people take all the effort of joining then post something stupid? It's a HL2 fansite. Almost all post not pertaining to the release of the game are useless.

He's from Belgium, you try speaking Flemish... now give him a break on the language thing.
 
We can all speak Flemish! Just clear your throat! Boom boom!
 
It should be rather obvious that he's questioning the possible hypocrisy of claiming that you're trying to co-exist rather than compete with the Cryteks and ids of the gaming world on the one hand and splattering an uber-hype quote from CNN at the top of the official HL2 page that states the direct opposite on the other.

Where's the mystery?
 
I don't think there's any mystery: the Belgian guy thought it was worth discussing while the others, on the other hand, just didn't and derided him... maybe because it's a dichotomy we are pretty accustomed with.

I rarely appreciate such marketing strategies and I always think that the very first to laugh at these ridiculous pieces of propaganda are the smart guys of the company's tech department...
 
that's one giant ass sig sup.

The point of this guy's post is that Gabe says HL2 isn't about competing againts its fellow top tier games. BUT, right on their website they quote CNN saying "blows away competition." A bit hypocritical, eh?

Can't believe someone would've missed the meaning of the post...

Some people really do have issues with other people who can't speak proper english. Remember, it doesn't mean, just because of their bad grammar, that they're kids. There are other countries out there, you know. Countries that doesn't speak english as their native language.

*sigh*

like m3

jesus christ.

Your maturity sure as hell seems like it. If you would just take two seconds to take a look at his location...BELGIUM. get a clue, his first language is probably not english, therefore his grammar and spelling may not be up to your high standards. But nonetheless his point got accross, obviously not to some of the...to put it bluntly, dumber people on these forums. But it got accross to those who know what's going on.

i need some sleep.
 
I don't think locality is an issue; rather it's age or most likely a combination of the two.
My first language isn't English either but I don't think there's too much wrong with my comprehension or verbalisation skills.

Of course, people like Caminante being an immature ass about the situation doesn't improve matters one bit.
