..was finally released about 90 minutes ago..! I've only played for about 20 minutes and this looks FUCKING incredible, even under my shitty graphics card. the lighting, the AI of the military police.. the sounds, the voice-acting - the constant propaganda being spewed by dr. Breen is great! |

Got it! Hee hee, the guy in the shop was like "Now, you do realise that you play this game you need to be connected to the Internet, which requires a dial up modem or a broadband connection, and because of this "Internet" you won't be able to take the game back if you don't like it, right? Do you understand?" He was brilliant! |

Do you need to unlock it the first time only? |
||||||||

I'm not sure, but yeah, I can't see why they would do it any other way. |

my friend got it sent from the post and it got here 9:00 this morning. beats having to push all the little geeks out of the way at the shops. says he loves it. looks like a game i would never complete, id be too intrested in the physics. |

I just ran out of ammo so I'm killing everything with the crowbar. On the airboat section I thought I saw the G-man on one of the overhead parts.... |

Still trying to "prepare" hl2. Just bought it yesterday via Steam, just updated my video card this morning, but I haven't actually started playing it yet. *repeatedly bounces tennis ball off the wall* |

Bought it on steam 697 minutes remain on the download. I feel like Samuel L Jackson waiting for the power to come back up in Jurassic Park. "Hold onto your butts...." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, you won't get all of Valves back-catalogue and no Half-Life:Source for you. and if I compare prices here in the Netherlands I actually got a better deal than if I had bought the dvd-rom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, that's what I get for trying to start the pre-load at the last minute: approx. 2500 minutes of updating... brokephones: That was Samuel L. Jackson? Well, it's been a few years since I last saw JP, so your memory is fresher than mine. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup, and I havent seen it in like 5 years. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wasn't that when it actually failed to turn back on..? sounds like Steam alright. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hurry Up! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why go through all the trouble of getting the game through steam, which seems buggy, sounds like you better buy it in a shop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because not everyone has these problems and you can get extra stuff. I had the game ready to play when it was released this morning. I have had no problems at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Please elucidate on the subject matter of extra stuff. |
||||||||
|

Man I want to play this. I'll have to depend on Santa Claus and see what happens. How many frames per second do you think I'll be able to get out of my 650mhz processor with 32mb video card? |
||||||||

Hmmm, I've just read a review of it and it appears that what I feared would happen has come to pass: "...there are a lot of echoes of the original Half-Life in Half-Life 2--so many, in fact, that there's a strong sense of déjà vu at times." "Surprisingly, Half-Life 2's story is one of the most disappointing aspects of the game." "Another surprise is the somewhat disappointing performance by the game's artificial intelligence." So then, all of the original's strong points (to me at least) are left out and replaced by what the first Half-life didn't have:great graphics and engine. :| *forgets about buying a new computer* |

That same reviewer gave the game a 9.2. |

Funny ain't it? How much you reckon they paid him for that? ;) |
