HL2 in the paper

[Ownzed]

Sorry if this is off-topic or whatever, i'm just bored waiting for HL2. But do you think HL2 will be in the paper like Doom 3 was awhile ago?

 

[switch]

"the paper"? you mean magazine adverts, or actual articles about hl2 in newspapers?

 

[Ownzed]

I mean the newspaper and article just like Doom 3.

I doubt it'll have the same "UNBELEIVABLE GORE! WHAT ARE OUR CHILDREN PLAYING? MAMA MIA!" effect that trickles down into the mainstream media as Doom]|[.

You have no idea how much i hate that. People who write that stuff in the papar are just plan dumb.

 

[<RJMC>]

in my opinion the release of a game is something that the newspapers dont care

 

[Ownzed]

But why did they put Doom 3 in the paper then? If they put Doom 3 in the paper and they said it was so great they HAVE to put HL2 in the paper because HL2 pwns D3.

I don't think too many people here know what that is, it's a Canadian newspaper.

Half-Life 2 was on the paper, here on the Houston Chronicle.
It was mainly about the Source theft.

no matter what you say, Doom has MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more name-regignition than Half-Life does. Doom 3 being released was a fairly major thing, and because most people have at least heard of doom, the articles were written.

I really doubt this will happen for HL2. *maybe* a blurb about CS:S, but that's a *maybe*

I was kind of surprised that I didn't see any articles like this for Doom 3. Most of the mainstream articles were pointing out how impressive the graphics were and, sure, they mentioned the level of gore, but the understanding seemed to be that it was geared towards adults.

Can anybody provide a link to any contreversy laiden articles?
