I am more and more disappointed by the turns the story takes after playing EP1 and watching the EP2 trailer.
I loved the claustrophobic surroundings and the fantastic story behind HL1. In HL2 the feeling didn't come back, though. And it didn't with EP1, either.
The trailer of EP2 looks like some kind of Vietcong meets Doom slaughterfest. I'm not really a shooter person who just wants to kill as many entities as possible. It's fun to frag a few things, but not just the whole time! Moreso, I liked the almost intellectual approach Valve took with HL1 and their appealing mixture of shooting, thinking, exploring and above all storytelling. Now it seems all about shooting as many combines and zombies (and whatever there's between) which look and behave the same all the time.
Who else thinks like me? Are there any other "semi"-gamers out there who like to be entertained in a more sophisticated way?
(The only thing I'm currently playing is Natural Selection, that's the one mod I really care about. Everything else is just shoot and run)
