Musopticon? Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 http://ep1.half-life2.com/img/screens/screenshot_3.jpg Heck yeah. :cool: Here's hoping it's of decent length. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Llyranor Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I might end up giving this the pass. I'm more interested in seeing how a FPS would play out on the Revolution right now. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Llyranor Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 "4-6 hrs" of babysitting Alyx <_< Kinda lame how they wanted to make the most boring character in HL2 become the most important NPC in this one just to please drooling fanboys. Yeah, I guess Aribeth was a deep character too. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Musopticon? Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I can bear with babysitting that bottom for one episode, but they could kill her off in the second to make way for Real gameplay. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

I'm more interested in seeing how a FPS would play out on the Revolution right now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No-one is forcing you to download it (preloading from 1 May from Steam(w00t)), I can't wait to play the game, personally, as it is a pretty broad gaming experience. If there was one character that should have died in vanilla, it was Alyx <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alyx is okay to have around, I'm not bothered if she lives or dies: I guess that's why VALVe are bringing her back centre stage for Episode 1. She won't be in the focus of Episode 2, however, iirc. There will be more and different monsters (like the ones we only glimpsed in Half-Life 2). I thought it was a good selling point that you do not need Half-Life 2 to play the episodes. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

mkreku Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Actually.. I think I did kill Alyx in my Half-Life 2. How is it possible for her to be in the sequel? I thought I blew her skinny ass to bits. 4-6 hours.. Wayyy too short for me. Not interested, unless I get a review copy. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
metadigital Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 It's okay, I revived her. It was touch-and-go, with all the clumsy bullet holes, but she lived. :D OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Bokishi Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 4 hours was like the size of a single chapter in HL2 wasn't it Current 3DMark
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 She is more photogenic than Gordon. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]

Krookie Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) If a new episode is released every month or two, it'll work out great. But if they release one every 8 months, it's not going to be to great. Expecially if the games are only around 5 hours long. They better release a mod-kit with the game, just so we* don't get to bored. By "we" I mean you all, I wouldn't waste my money on a 4-6 hour game. Edited April 9, 2006 by Krookie

Fenghuang Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I can't find the picture I used to have of Gordon groping Alyx. It would've been oh so appropriate here too. RIP

Fenghuang Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Maybe you just dreamt it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, somone took the part where Gordon's stretching into his HEV suit and stuck his hands and arms on Alyx's boobs with photoshop. It was on Valve's forums but it looks like they've purged them since then. RIP
