Do you think hl2 might suck?

No, HL2 will be the most jaw dropping, scary, shocking, thrilling, anticipating game ever to date. It's got the graphics, it's got the gameplay, it's got the weapons, it's got every single detail, it's got the amazing multiplayer, it's got everything a fps fan could want and will get soon enough.

Cool, can I borrow it?
 
was half life really THAT scary?
The only scary moments i remember were:
- omigosh VENT HEADCRAB!
- omigosh EPILEPTIC ZOMBIE
- omigosh CLOSET MONSTER
- big blue thing? what the fork?
The thing is that i want more scary. Just don't make the WHOLE GAME some scary game. If i wanted a scary arse game i'd buy doom 3.
 
I never jumped once during HL.. those headcrabs in the vents never scared me :)
 
I havn't read everything here, but here is my 2 cents anyway.

If people thought HL2 was going to suck then this site wouldn't have over 14000 members registered with 212 active online at any one time, so the whole question is pointless.

Is the game going to suck? All signs point to no, that doesn't mean it can't, but it certainly doesn't look like it has much of a chance of being a bad game.
 
why do these kinds of threads continue to be created..
oh yeah, the human race isnt short on morons
 
HL2 doesn't have much to worry about, if they implement everything they said they have it'll be great, even if its half as good as the orignal , it'll be better than 80% of fps's.
 
This has to be the worst question ive heard all month...
 
You guys should really cut down on the insults. It doesn't make you seem any better when you insult someone.
 
It doesn't matter, this game is anticipated either way. I'll see you on the beach.

oh yeah?!
thats not what u said in those pm's u sent me :rolleyes:
folks, he was scared for months on end.. looking back to make sure no zombies followed him home or headcrabs jumping out of the closet :LOL:
 
The only way I can see Half Life 2 being crap is if it doesn't deliver on its promises of physics, story, immersion etc. But so much is riding on Valve keeping their promises that they have to deliver.
The other way it could turn out to be arse is if the storyline goes off the rails <Coughs> the last two Matrix films <coughs>

I told you not to tell!

That's it.. Freeman got so scared he wet his pants! :LOL:
 
Well, according to Merc, its the best game he's ever played, so i'll say no. The only way it can **** up, is if the storyline turns out to be shit, and it doesnt look like there much of a chance of that, given its 1984-like atmosphere

what if all his gaming experience comes from playing computer solitaire and scrabble jr, and reader rabbit, and doom1?
 
0.01 x 10 to the -16th power (can't do small fonts) are the chances hl2 will suck.
 
I hope it won't, I was waiting for PlanetSide for about 2 years during development... played it about 2 weeks into the closed beta before getting completely bored and fed up with it, didn't even buy it.

If that happens to half-life2 I think I may go insane.

That won't happen with half-life2.

It won't.

I think everyone here is too ignorant ...HL2 can and might suck. You see my expectations are normal and most peoples expectations are so stupidly high that they will be in for a shock because HL2 will NOT revolutionize or have anything new to what we actually have now. It has'nt got the best graphics. It hasnt got better physics than ive already seen. It has a top secret story that will be good i know but so does doom3....the only thing HL2 has that no one has tried yet is realistic facial expressions...i mean seriously, that is the only new thing about it and it wont make the game amazingly better while everyone was slating FEAR for not having anything new.

When people say "not a chance in hell" and "You can have fun with just the engine" makes me think because farcry has as good physics as HL2 looks to have.

I hope the game wont be a disaster...while the devs say its better than HL1, of course they will...they have'nt worked 5 years for something to say its predecessor could still be better because HL1 was amazing.

Anyway, i think HL2 has as much chance of being crap as any sequel is and usually IS.

The difference between the physics in Half-Life 2 and Far Cry is that Half-Life 2 actually uses it physics, and that is what puts it apart from ANY game with physics. Also, Doom 3 having a story? Lets see...A space marine is killing deamons on mars...neat. Also the AI in Half-Life 2 is amazing, so much better then any game out now.

well with all the hype that been said over halflife2 do you think it could suck when it comes out and we got all hyped up for nothing?
Click to expand...

Yes, absolutely. That's why I joined this forum, after all.
 
The way HL2 will be crap is if the story turns out to be a pile of poo because it went on an odd tangent that tried to be too clever for its own good. It's very possible sadly, and seeing as the action will be woven around that it could bring the game down a fair bit.
That said, I think Laidlaw's great - I have faith and respect for him so we'll see.
Simple fact is that we may have gone a bit overboard. Touch wood, we haven't.
 
Some1 ban acme from making threads.

Hes single handedly made the most amount of useless threads in the past month and just as many times hes flamed other people for making threads that arent even half as bad as his.

I mean honestly...

"will you play hl2 after you buy it?"

/ f*cking dies
 
In reply to Foxtrots rant...

I think most people are forgetting the Half-Life series is not a true first person shooter. The original Half-Life had way more puzzles than a typical game of Quake or Unreal. It is looking like the same with Half-Life 2. You shouldn't be able to compare Doom 3/Far Cry and Half-Life 2, they are practically different genre of games.

With that said, I am still very excited for Half-Life 2.
 
Hell no! (This is here to get past the 10 character limit ;))
 
Will HL2 suck.....
It all depends what aspects you want more out of the game.
Some people want it to play around with the Physics/Graphics, others the Puzzles, Multiplayer, Mods or just because they want to find out what happends next in the HL adventure. I want to play hl2 for the experence, and once I get bored of the game I'll move onto the mods and MP (CS:S). It's the community that makes the game popular and keep it going. Since HL has already done that how could an upgraded version with better everything destroy all that it has created.

Noo... lol, if it wasn't for his idiot threads then no one here would've ever laughed :E
 
Max Payne 1 was good, MP2 sucked, too short and lacked MP. MP2 was hyped just as much as HL2, maybe not to us, but then again HL2 may seem the same to the MP fans. The game looked awesome, they promised vehicles and rumored that their might be multiplayer, and what came out! A 4 hour game with good gfx and physics.

**edit**

Oh and to Foxtrot, the fort we built outa barrels with the psygun was way cooler
 
The barricade of matresses was pretty cool too. Just to see how they all reacted to eachother and then an external force on the mass of matresses...like a grenade :)

I dont because im not basing my opinions on someone that plays stolen software that cant REALLY like the HL series so much if you want to play the stolen version of it that valve spent 5 years making ;)

Maybe HL2 will have a BIT better physics but i hardly think FC wont touch it....FC has amazing physics...most people on here are just to affraid that FC is comparable to HL2 is alot of ways. So it doesnt have the best story ever, and neither does HL...

It has the "scare" factor about it very much
It has the graphics...id even say they was better than ANY HL2 video or picture ive seen yet
It has very nice sound, along with very scary/amazing sound effects (the trojans groul is f*cking scary whatever anyone says :p )

The only thing HL2 has over FC imo is a better story (Fc's isnt absolete, it just isnt what all these HL2 fanboi's expect because HL set a standard that EVEN HL2 has to live upto) it "boasts" its AI but we judge the AI for ourselfs when the game comes out. It has realistic facial movement....now i dont know about you but if i want to play a game where expressions really come into gameplay then id go buy The Sims.

Anyway i dont want a flame war because quite frankly, im a fanboi of half life but im also a fanboi of farcry and im pretty sure ill be a fanboi of doom3 :)

Nah i disagree. I didn't like FarCry's physics very much. Most of the time when you shot a guy(during the inside levels) they end up dead against a wall as if he's sitting on top of an invisible chair. I find that watching the barricade video demonstrates physics way better then FC's.
Although i was surprised by the graphics in FarCry, they were alot better then the demo showed. But again, i really don't like fighting marines that look like they should be in a "G.I. Joe" action set. I didn't find the game scary at all. But i didn't find Half-Life scary at all either.
Also about HL2 meeting the standards set by Half-Life. No offense but thats a bit of a stupid argument, Valve are the ones who made the game and are trying to do everything they possibly can to improve upon the first game. And with new graphics, physics and vehicles, it looks like they just might succeed there. But i could be wrong, they might end up like Ion Storm and release a game with a terrible engine and dodgy AI.

Personally i reckon Far Cry was a medicore FPS game, made in a fantastic engine. But would you still play Far Cry even if it was in an updated Quake 3 engine? Similar to Call of Duty?(At least it looked like that)
 
HL2 will not suck, the very worst it can do is be 'just good'. I mean, any game that gives you tight controls and movement(just like HL1), lots of bad guys (and striders) to shoot at and a manipulator as well as 30+ hrs of playtime is automatically 'just good' even if it isn't revolutionary. Then you have to take into account Valve's amazing game design and ambitious goals for an FPS narrative(facial animations+acting+AI+'new'scripting techniques+CABAL system+having persistent, important characters, etc.). I have enough reasons to be optimistic.
