Everyone said HL2 was awesome. So I tried it and it sucked.
LEAVE HIM ALOOOONE.
You need to realize the truth: it is you that sucks. I mean really, if EVERYONE says that something is super special awesome and you don't like it at all, don't you ever get the feeling that maybe something is wrong with you?
Nah, after a while I noticed people here thought the same as me, and a bunch at the escapist too.
