I LIKE the water splash in the docks video. It looks fine. As far as I can tell, there's not much wrong with it. Alright it's not perfect, but then what is? At least it's not a sprite. Who knows, it might even look better in the final product. Besides, I myself could do no better and, therefore, have no right to bitch about it.
I LIKE the G-Man's teeth. In fact, I don't really notice them, especially when compared to the rest of his face, his eyes, his lip-syching and voice-acting. Alright, it's not perfect, but then what is? Who knows, it too could look even better in the finished game. Again, I doubt I could do better, so I have no right to bitch.
I LIKE the zombie blood splat sprite. Alright, it's just a placeholder, and it WILL look better in the finished game, but the fact that it's exactly the same as in the ones in the original game makes me feel all nostalgic, and reminds me that this is truly Half Life's sequel and reminds me of how good it could be. A blood sprite maybe I could manage... But I still don't feel like I have the right to bitch.
I LIKE the planks on the dock. Alright the textures are slightly mis-alligned, and that's a little bit irritating considering the attention to detail that's gone into everything else, but then I remember that it's precisely this attention to detail that'll make Valve re-allign the otherwise gorgeous textures. Plus the fact that the planks will splinter fantastically and act just great. Again, I couldn't do any better.
I LIKE Dr. Kleiner's little glitch in his animation - it's hardly important but that you notice it means you're focussing on the superb animation. Again, I couldn't do any better.
I LIKE Half-Life 2. Or at least, I feel sure I will. And I'm sure most of you will. And I have every faith in Valve and so should you. Just think, if this game's as good as HL, then their first and only two commercial releases will have been the best game ever at their time of release. That's a staggering acheivement. Valve know what they're doing and they're going to deliver to us something the likes of which we've never seen. And what we HAVE seen isn't even the HALF of it. And you couldn't do any better. So you have no right to bitch.
Rant over.
