People Bitching Regarding HL2 Graphics

[Kamakiri]

"I don't like the splash effects in Docks"

"I don't like how the scientist dood moves when he types"

"Green splat when killing zoombie"

Now the later is being fixed and probably fixed now. But generally graphics hickups and poor graphics, which in my opinion is not that poor anyway, will not be a concern to anyone besides the people who are like my grandma. Nag Nag Nag.

Can you honestly say to yourself, seeing a crappy splash that Valve didn't spend days on because more effects will screw up your framerate, will effect your opinion with a game that is known for total gameplay to the max?

When you get HL2 in your hands and start playing you will all just enjoy it. You will come immune to the graphics anyway and just enjoy it. This feeling is also known as the imfamous word 'Gameplay' which alot don't care about. Always with the graphics. *shakes head*

My 2 cents

 

[zibo]

I'm totally agreeing with you.

Also, people should really take a chill-pill and realize that every bug you see in the videos will be taken care of.

I have come to a point i just dont carre. What some people are bitching / flaming about.

 

[The Mullinator]

Yup I 100% agree. People just keep on complaining about stupid things, HL2 is going to be the biggest and best game ever and all people seem able to do is whine and complain about the most absolute stupidist things.

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

I love the splash effect. I have been offended, and i bet the valve team aint happy either. Its a shame that. Cos that splash effect looks great and is most likely a final version imo cos it definately aint a sprite like the grean goo thing.

 

[el Chi]

Here, here. Good on ya

 

[The Mullinator]

Its too bad that when the next movie is released that this same problem will happen again, alot of people will probably come up with another stupid complaint.

 

[Chris D]

I guarantee it

 

[yeggz]

Yeah, seriously, who the hell cares if the G-Man's teeth are too white or if the splash is a bit jagged around the edges? *shrug*

The graphics are definitely good enough that while playing the game, you won't think about them at all.

There ARE complaints that I can understand, like about how the buzzsaws just stop at the chain instead of cutting through it. It's a very minor deal, I really don't care, but I can see some concern regarding the physics system. But man, while playing the game, graphics are going to be the least of your concerns. You'll be too worried about how your shotgun with three bullets left will deal with the combine soldiers around the corner.

Now that is gameplay

 

[Axyon]

It's just the way things are, people on every game forum will complain when something new comes out. I really can't imagine what it's going to be like here when the actual game comes out. Sigh.

 

[yeggz]

Yeah, actually, my only real complaint with the graphics is the misaligned textures on the docks... you gotta admit, that does look pretty bad ;-)

I don't really care that much, it's just my only complaint.

[Dagobert]

last time I checked the splash was in the shaky-cam version. Why wasn't it 'hated' then?

Oh but it was. I recall seeing a few topics on it.

 

[zibo]

/me confirms.

 

[papa jake]

I think it's kind of funny really. If you were on a dock in real life beating up a real life zombie that fell in the water, would you really think to yourself "man, that splash could have looked a little cooler."? My point is: the game is obviously all about gameplay (as it should be), and I would much rather ignore a couple people complaining about some stupid splash effects with sweet gameplay than everyone (including me) complaining about poor gameplay, with sweet graphics (Unreal 2).

My 2 cents

i totally agree they should stop making threads like
HL2 VS DOOM 3
HL2 VS STALKERR
HL2 - NO ATOMIC DETAIL??

 

[qckbeam]

How the hell could you bitch about this games graphics, they are amazing and packed with detail. No game out there has anywhere near as much attention given to it's enviroments than Half-Life 2. Everything is given serious effort and it shows.

 

[CoRRuptoR]

Ill take the superiour game play of HL2 over the glitsy graphix of some of the competitive games they are up against.

 

[ValVed RaY]

to me half life 2 graphics are its main weapon.

 

[Tamora]

The graphic is top notch, so is the gameplay. Period.

 

[Chicky]

heres an idea for all the people who complain go to valve and "fix" it even though they allready have probaly. Stop crying omg did u see that there was a glitch who cares i garuntee hl2 wont be perfect but i dont care im just looking forward to the game and story. just my 2 cents

 

[Kotik]

It cares me.
It's a game company who produced my lovely game.
And they were saying, that they put so much money into the whole project.
And if they put much money into, they should a game, that can beat HalfLife1.

Allow me to be the first to say.... Huh?

Ok, that is so stupid?

 

[Blair]

nevermind..

 

[Kotik]

No english isn't my primary language.
Sorry if it was so stupid.

 

[Grimsrud]

Some complaining is only healthy.... this forum is filled with so many fan boys jerking off Valves big dick.

 

[kalicki]

The graphics look great, just needs some AA...

 

[MoxPearl]

u ppl complaining.. its pretty sad

Compare it to every other game on the market..

then imagine if u picked up every little thing like that for those games..

u would be watching videos forever

 

[anarchy]

Well, I bet the complaints that people post here get reviewed by valve, and I bet this leads to a more polished game.
Good job to all the people who have gave their constructive criticism...or..."complaints"
If it weren't for people like us criticizing we'd still be playing pong.

Well all of a sudden the graphics are no longer important in Half-Life 2? Well... it is. Graphics are part of the game and it corrensponds with the gameplay. Without it the game would indeed be less amazing.

Anyway. There are issues with the graphics, it is not hte best graphics ever, but... guess what? THE GRAPHICS ARE STILL LOOKIN FANTASTIC. So I don't have too many worries...

Also, it's not very smart to actually believe that the E3 video was finished a year ago... that's just stupid no matter what Valve said. The video was likely finished a month or two before E3...
