Darth Ni Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 It's not like they're missing anything... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its all a matter of opinion. I have played HL2 and beaten it and the features on HL2 and the game engine are simply incredible. It added a level of interactive features never before seen in a game. Show me one site that gave it a negative review. E.g. You can enter a room and grab a filing cabinet and throw it at a soldier and kill the other one with a shotgun. Or... If someone is chasing you, you can hide in an abandoned aparment and rearrange all the furniture and turn off the lights and hide. You can also shoot through the walls and damage the scenery.

213374U Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I played the original HL and I still think HL2 had no story at all. You may consider 'go there, kill things, go somewhere else, kill some more things' a story, but I don't. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Darth Ni Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Its an ok story but not the best story ever I will refer you to this line. Killing things is the object of every FPS. Thats why its an FPS (unless you stun everyone )... I hate senseless killing which is why I think Doom 3 is complete BS. I think certain FPS games had good stories like HALO, HALO2 (I'm guessing since i dont have an XBOX), Deus Ex stuff like that. There are some comedy shooters out there too like NOLF and NOLF2 which are amusing and not meant to have a serious storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Doom 3 had more of a story than HL2, and I found Doom 3 mildly entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse its entertaining because you can go trigger happy and shoot everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a million possible ways to solve each scenario. Its not so much the story but more the gameplay. The sheer amount of possibilities is just amazing.

213374U Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Yeah, I won't deny that. I was very impressed with HL2's engine. However, I can't really enjoy a game which doesn't compel me story-wise. If you can, good for you, that means you haven't wasted $50. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

I also prefer to play games with a good story. That was HL2's main failing besides the stupid friendly AI which walk right in front of you... I can get a legal CD Key Registration for $5 but w/o any game CDs or manuals. One of my friends had a copy of HL2 so I borrowed the CDs, burned them and I installed the game.
