HL2- Completing It Going To Be A Tedious Task ?

[Corupter]

Well this is another thread by me Woo !

right well what i wanted to lay down for disscussion is the fact that, do you think because HL2 is becoming a very complex game with a strange plot with alot more teethy big monsters not to mension all the other features like being anble to drive cars n what not. Will the job of completing it become too daughnting a task for the average gamer and possibly put them off finishing the game or even purchasing it ?

will it be just too tedious for you to even bother restarting after your 30th death by the long spindly legs of a strider ?

No fecking way in the Universe


It'll be a good game, averagely good at least. And won't be hard. You can check that by the fact they don't have reslistic ammo clips.

i think all the new features and what not only add to the experience, not detract from it. If you ask me, the average gamer is looking for the kinds of stuff hl2 has to offer. such as great enemy ai, vehicles etc.

dont get me wrong i agree with you but what i am saying is do you think it will be too difficult with improved AI and Trying to manuver cars and other things that may test your limits i mean you may not be good with car games so that feature of the game is going to be a bit daunting

wait, so you can tell if a game is hard by the fact that it doesn't have "reslistic" ammo clips? what on earth does that even mean, and how do you figure?

It's not going to be a car simulator. It also won't be compulsory to use the vehicles.

ah well thank you for clearing that up. but im sure that the best chance to survive would be to utilize the vehicles though ?

I say, if you've played multiplayer games, then you have the skill it would take to play a single player game. Human enemy's are much harder than AI. at least for now

thats true but what makes these AIs more difficult is that they can do MORE damage to you than you can do to them. :sniper:

 

[Dougy]

please stop.

i understand you want the game, but seriously stop.

 

[Corupter]

please stop.

i understand you want the game, but seriously stop.

you do realise you actually are a troll now so please desist from haunting me go live under a bridge or something like the rest of your kind.

 

[Brian Damage]

Dougy's not a troll, he's a good bloke... and he's not haunting you.

And please learn what punctutation is.

I didn't get my punctuation down to a "T" by making over 4000 posts. I did it by virtue of the fact that I've been reading books since I was about five.

if you wanted i could type with no punctuation or proper capitalisation like you but that sort of thing tends to make some peoples eyes ache and they tend to not read posts written like this

I try to do my best to be coherent, to type clearly and to use the best punctuation I can, because I'd like to think that it helps get my point across. Not to mention the fact that I regard it as a courtesy to my fellow forumites.

The thing is, fella, if you want people to make a serious effort to read your posts, it couldn't hurt to be a little neater...

Well i try but sometimes even on the pc i find it hard to put in proper grammer mainly because i'm not very good at it, but trust me i tried my best.

But no its obviously not good enough for you :flame:

 

[blahblahblah]

You know, based off of what we seen with the video's, it looks like the striders are going to be one of those "special creatures." You know creatures, where your guns can do no damage to it. So you have to find some sort of lever to distract it, then incinerate it.

I think that would suck, because the striders would seem like such a cool creature to have randomly sprinkled through City 17.

 

[Brian Damage]

The capitalisation of words at the start of sentences is a good beginning...

:thumbs:

I agree with you so the strider in HL2 may be like the gargantua in Half Life.

Yeh that wouldn't be too great.

I <-(woot look capital) will try in future to do that.

Actually, several of the previews describe the Strider being killed by shotgun blasts, or things of that ilk.

Muwhaha spelling mistake then "ilk"... please try to get your point accross better next time

:naughty:

 

[Brian Damage]

Ilk = kin, "style", family, type, sort.

If you're going to try to catch me out, do your research.

On second thought, don't. It makes you look petty.

Anyway, my beef with you was your atrocious punctuation. Not your spelling. I can handle bad spelling.

[gooball]

Coruptor, I've only started to notice you on this forum in the last few days, but as soon as I saw this thread with your name as the topic starter, I somehow knew there'd be at least a couple of opinion arguments.

Not that I'm saying you're wrong on whatever topic, just consider the possibility that you somehow easily get into heated back and forth arguments pretty quickly with enough people in enough threads for me to assume, without reading, that this thread would contain a small flame war.

well i'd say its more of a heated debate. And thats what i want in my threads if a poster cant feel that he can state his opinion and be listened to by the thread starter then theres no point in voicing an opinion. I try to make it my duty to reply to every post i get its good manners and im pleased that people post in this thread wither it be trying to be-little me or praise me either will do to be honest, preferably i'd prefer people to stick to a topic but my topics are always so hazy and confusing that sometimes thats impossible.

Got it, carry on.

 

[Dougy]

At wich point did i troll?

i merely pointing out this is your 2nd pointless thread that ive seen in as many days.

Its a Computer Game, it wont start a new age of man kind, it wont cure cancer, it wont be impossible to complete, it wont be the most jaw dropping computer related sofware ever developed, every single game will not use the source engine becuase its uber..... etc.

all it will do is give people something to do at the weekend when they are bored and fancy a game.

Edit: im doing this for your own good, i feel you are building the game up beyond all porpotions and are expecting the epitome of gaming software, if you are you Will be disapointed.

 

[blahblahblah]

it wont start a new age of man kind, it wont cure cancer,

That hasn't been disproven yet.

if you deem my threads so pointless and you've stated it more than once then why even bother taking you time to reply, do you think your special that your opinion matters more than others, well if that be the case carry on but may i remind you people are discussing Half Life 2 in this thread so it meets the criteria of this forum.

But i have nothing against you i just wish that you wouldn't be well Mean, i dont go and tell you that all your posts are pointless, meaningless or useless.

 

[Corupter]

That hasn't been disproven yet.

Just allow me to say Thank you. :cheers:
