August 20, 200916 yr Author FEAR is so much more entertaining. The only good thing about FEAR is the combat and awesome enemy AI. The jump scares, story and "characters" are pretty bad, I mean your dude is just called "point man". Edited August 20, 200916 yr by Purkake
August 20, 200916 yr Enterix: If I had the power to have a game created, I would have liked to have a game that is a mix of Halflife (2, 3 / Episodes whatever) and Riddick with fear grade enemies. and a little bit of sand box sprinkled on top (Call of Juarez, Gun and the like's sandbox style) Riddick excelled at areas that are weak in HL (The feeling of guns, the meele, the health system, first usable and fun stealth since Thief) while Halflife was a much better composed and executed game. (Both games did have their a bit too long a bit too boring sections). Fear on the other other hand offers excellent enemy action (despite rest of the game being a snooze fest ). Also I would prefer Fear 1 grade commandos instead of Fear 2's idiots. On top of them I would like to sprinkle some sandbox parts to earn some cash, get upgrades, fool around and genenrally have some unrelated fun between mission chains. Also I wouldn't say no to some stats and upgrades somewhere between CoD and SS2 (much more closer to CoD thou. SS2 would slow down the shooter parts ) And some kind of Inventory. (I really hated eating everything as soon as I found them in Bioshock...) Edited August 20, 200916 yr by cronicler IG. We kick ass and not even take names.
August 20, 200916 yr EDIT: Is there actually anyone here who liked HL2? I feel like I arrived in the anti-half-life forums instead of a general gaming forum.I liked it. ,o/ I played through it in like two days of pretty long sessions. I remember staying up until 4 or 5 in the morning to ultimately finish it off.
August 21, 200916 yr HL2 is a damn long game. EDIT: For a shooter. Edited August 21, 200916 yr by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
August 21, 200916 yr While HL1 is even longer. I really love HL2 and episodes, Valve's attention to detail, quality of characters and script, polish... it's one company on the market I trust implicitly. That and they respond to fan mail.

August 21, 200916 yr Then I suggest you play it. It's not very long and you can give us some fresh perspective on it. I actually bought a copy during the Steam sale this past weekend (all the various HL2 products for $13!), but I probably won't get around to actually downloading and playing it until I'm tired of Bloodlines. (My character is about to go to Chinatown for the first time, but my rate of play has slowed and my next 3 weekends are spoken for.) I'd have bought HL1 along with it, but a look at the screenshots made me realize that I am at least a little bit of a graphics whore. That early-3D-era stuff was truly awful looking. If and when I get around to playing it, I'll try to remember to necropost this thread with my impressions.

August 21, 200916 yr until I'm tired of Bloodlines. (My character is about to go to Chinatown for the first time, but my rate of play has slowed and my next 3 weekends are spoken for.) Let me know what you think when you finished. Bloodlines tends to suffer somewhat from KOTOR2 syndrome.
