Hey guys. My first topic. 
Im concerned about the reviews HL2 is going to get when its released. (In what ever form that may be, Steam, Storeshelvs, Teleported from Valve to your MailBox WHAT EVER!)
Everyones hopes for this game are sooo high. Too high. And what happens when you set your hopes too high? The end product isnt near what you thought it would be. I love Valve. I think they did an amazing job with HL1, and HL2 will be good. But I dont wanna expect to much only to be dissapointed for what everyones calling the "Soon to be game of the year" Lets all just relax. The game will come when it will. But everyone saying things like . This will destroy Doom3, And Stalker, and blah blah games. No no no!! Thats not what Valve wants. There not out to destroy other games and their companies. There here to give us an amazing piece of entertainment. Gabe himself said he cant wait to play Doom 3. So why cant everyone else contain that same mentality. Be open minded to other games? SUre why not. After all there only games. And when people start getting argumental (is that a word? lol) things get all messy. Lets just take HL2 for what it is . A ViD-E-O-GAY-MMM!! Don't expect the next big thing. Dont expect a revolution. Dont throw away your social life for it. Its a game. Dont set your hopes too high. Because if you do. In the end, this VIDEO GAME will not live up to the false hype you've created. Valve hasnt created false hype! All they have done was release 20 screens at most. And some videos. They have done an amazing job of giving us the bare minimal to be excited in their development. It's the fanatics who go insane and praise the game for more than its worth, who create that hype that never gets met! No one has even had any hands on time with HL2 yet. No publications, no VIP gamers, NO ONE. Everyone just relax. Im warning you. If you set your hopes to high. You WILL be dissapointed.
