I do not want to turn the thread into a flame war.
But, the game is good. Just not as good as some people would have you think.
If I never bought it I really would not be missing anything.
It's not that great. But it is pretty good.

My friend is so pissed that he purposely bought several copies of HL2 and removed the protection sticker on the boxes of the game and copied and gave out the online key to others, then of course returned the copies for a full refund. The sticker can apparently be removed and put back on without any trace.
I wonder how many ex-customers are angry and will now get motivated enough cause massive returns to the retailer and damaging the bottom line of valve?
While I do not support this... I found it amusing Valve would go the extra distance to piss off its loyal customers.
mmm karma is a mofo...:p

Well you're the minority here, it's the best First Person Shooter (single player) game ever.
Ranked number 4 on gamerankings.com
I don't see how one can not be utterly amazed by this game, unless you don't like first person shooters, but then again I know a guy who doesn't really like FPS games, and because he had a voucher with his 9800XT he downloaded it, and he couldn't believe what he was playing.
To each his own, but it sounds like you haven't beaten the game, play through the entire game and then see what you think.
Its damn good, but I wouldnt go that far... at least, I dont think so. System Shock 2 is still the best damn game I have ever played, and thats part-FPS.Quote:

Well as far as traditional FPS games go I know there is no better game out there. I mean I am pretty sure I've played 90 percent of the FPS games ever made.Quote:

System Shock 2 is amazing, but it's more of an aquired taste, as is Deaus Ex.
HL2 is right up there with Zelda OoT for me, and thats saying a lot, I didn't think a game could get even close to OoT for me.
I only played like 2 hours but I do not think it's that great as well. Sure it's good but if it was that great I'd be playing it rite now :pQuote:

It's very polished tho, and the engine runs great on my PC
I'm dissapointed :( lol
I bought the game hoping to get CS with it, instead I got source rofl
also, I like QIII a hell of a lot better then HL2 :(
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and here is mine.....If you like shooters and you do not like HL2, well, I think you need to get your brain examined. HL2 is the best and most immersive shooter I have ever played....there is like nothing I do not like about this game, it's just perfect.
I prefer multiplayer FPSs.
-MrD
yeah ok, I meant single player....:D
Just curious as to how you can compare HL2 and Q3? One is Single-Player focused, the other is multi-player focused.Quote:

As you know, Valve has been disabling the accounts that tried using the "priated" copy of the game. There was a way to preload a game by entering a certain cerial number.
Well basically I entered the number just to see if it would work. I was planning to buy the game anyways, so I was just curious. I entered the cerial number and it said that its valid and that I can preload.
I didnt want to do that, because I wanted to buy the game legitemately. I logged 2 days later and it said that the CD-Key is disabled. I then went ahead and bought bronze version of the game. I had an idea cross my mind that I should create a new steam account, but then I thought that nothihng would happen.
After playing Half Life 2 and counter strike source for a few days there was a problem. Whenever I typed my username and password in it said that the account was disabled. I went to steam forums and found out that valve disabled all accounts who tried using that CD-Key... 50 dollars lost.....
This ofcource shocked and saddened me because I am 17 years old and currently do not have a job. The interesting thing is that I have numerous games that are pirated. I even managed to make some work online. But I believed that this game would be special and that I should go ahead and buy it and support the developers.
I know that most of you will say that I was trying to steal something and that I should go to jail for stealing. Maybe I was stealing games in the past, by not buying previous games, but THIS game, I wasnt actually trying to steal and this is what I get. [/QUOTE
Look I'm sure your a nice kid but what you did was stealing. You even admitted to it with past games.You play these pirated games on the backs of people who have paid for their games.Value sees you as a thief and as seeing you as a thief they rightfully so, want nothing to do with you.Even if you have now paid for the game.I'm not making a judgement on you I'm just telling you how any Company would look at you.Sorry :(
