Verone Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.10.11 12:10:00 - [1] WAS AWESOME! OMG at Valve's new cinematic physics engine OMG at some of the new environments and backdrops I'm gonna refrain from posting storyline spoilers but I can't wait for the third Episode of the trilogy myself Anyone else finished it, and what did you think? >>> TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN WINGMAN <<<
Gamer4liff Caldari Metalworks THE INTERSTELLAR FOUNDRY	Posted - 2007.10.11 12:11:00 - [2] Well I had the ending spoiled for me somewhat, but I still thought it was very good, although I almost wish the one who died and came back had stayed dead.

I really need to build a computer This post contains much sadness due to the crapness of my computer

I really need to build a computer This post contains much sadness due to the crapness of my computer The section with the striders was the hardest tbh... I got bumloved by hunters so many times it was unreal. There's a REALLY easy trick to it though, when you put your mind to it that pretty much negates the strider's escorts. That is, if you can outsmart the AI... it's pretty damn good at times. >>> TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN WINGMAN <<<
Death Kill Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.10.11 12:31:00 - [6] Im playing it when I get home from work. Was it as short as episode one? Im really starting to dislike Valve, I dont want a game that you can never finosh. A game that releases a new 'episode' every two years or so. I thought the HL2 ending was 'wtf' so I was really looking forward to ep:one, and ep:one had a 'wtf' ending as well. I want to finish Half life, not play a***** teaser every 24 months. Stupid valve /rant off Call to arms!!!

Stupid valve /rant off The Episodes are a trilogy. Rumour has it that they're to flesh out the middle of the story, and try new techniques and technologies before Half Life 3. HL2 didn't really have a messed up ending, it just left the characters at a cliffhanger... Episode 1, I agree was short. Episode 2 is a bit longer and there's an assload more storyline development in it... you find out a LOT about the links between some of the characters, and of course the role of the infamous "G-MAN" with is Black Mesa briefcase starts to get fleshed out. Pretty sweet tbh, but you'll have to finish it to find out details... it's better that way >>> TRIBUTE TO A FALLEN WINGMAN <<<**

Asestorian Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2007.10.11 15:26:00 - [10] Edited by: Asestorian on 11/10/2007 15:26:32 I absolutely loved Episode 2. Best Half Life yet in my opinion. It got the balance between difficulty and fun just right, and didn't hang around with a single type of enemy for too long. One of things I hated about the previous outings was the huge amount of zombies, just zombies everywhere. Whilst there are zombies here as well, they are mixed with other stuff most of the time. Much more entertaining. It was also great to get out of City 17 at last, which let Valve really have a go at some interesting places and do some interesting things. And damn did they make the most of it. The story was continued nicely, and although it doesn't really answer many questions, I still felt satisfied that I knew a bit more about what was going on. I also think that it wasn't too short, which let me complete it uninterrupted in a day, which really helps. Actually the only thing that was wrong with it was the loading in between the different sections, that's about the only bad point there is for me. So then, Episode 2 = win. --- ---

A game that releases a new 'episode' every two years or so. That's like not liking a TV series beacuse after episode one, it's not all done and dusted. Or a film might be part of a trilogy. I'm all for anything that brings games more into line with storylines (and voice acting etc!) worthy of a book, movie or TV show. Edit: Erm, not voice acting like a book, obv!

But that is the most moronic thing I've ever heard anyone say. What's different between a Book and a Film? One's textual, and one's visual / audible. What's different between a Film and a TV Show? One's a whole lot longer than another, and the latter usually tells a series of short stories into one large story. What's different between a Film and a Video Game (such as episode 2)? One's not interactive, the other one is. There is no difference in the way that they all have a story, a plot, characters. The difference is the way the stories are conveyed to the audience.

Menkaure Amarr Vanitas Corp.	Posted - 2007.10.11 18:12:00 - [17] Edited by: Menkaure on 11/10/2007 18:13:00 Just finished. Best episode yet! Loving valves facial/body animation stuff.... They get more and more impressive with every subsequent chapter. Alyx stopping to catch her breath, idly sitting down on a rock when nothings going on.... her expressions when magnusson is saying thanks to you are brilliant. Even the look of love she gives her father, and the admiration on her face when she looks at you. Absolutely incredible. Well past the uncanny valley, that. Lots of developers can learn from them (and here's hoping CCP do with ambulation)

Graphics are awesome, the rocket launch was cool... the strider explosions nice and graphic. The facial expressions were awesome, and the G-Man Zoom ins looked the best ever.

Episode one was just a few hours long.... thats rubbish. Valve is milking the cow. Again; not all books come in single installments. Hl2 ended on a cliff-hangar after explaining what happened in City17. It was the start of the story, with a sub-story contained. Episode 1 detailed your escape from City17, and the destruction of the citadel. Two sub-stories while furthering the main story. Episode 2 detailed your closure of the Super-Portal and travel to White Forest, while furthering the main story and providing you information about the G-Man. The episodes are quite short, but they're very very well made and explain A LOT of the story. If they weren't there, how do you suggest valve includes all the information we have learned in them into Half-Life 3, hmm? It would be one hell of a task. And your comment about leaving you hanging - that's a good thing. It makes you want more, and shows that valve actually have good writers. Don't know much about media products, do you DK? --- Project Mayhem 2
Mtthias Clemi Gallente Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.10.11 18:39:00 - [23] I honestly prefer longer games in intervals rather than episodic type stuff! A game i can complete in one go is too short for me! took me 3 days to complete HL2 so episode one took me all of a few hours, not to say i dont like them, they are brilliant! But All the same i probably would have preferred it to go HL1 HL2 HL3. that being said i generally play more RTS that FPS so i might be carrying that opinion over! -------------------------------------------- THE CAKE IS A LIE!

Kyozoku Mutiny.	Posted - 2007.10.11 18:46:00 - [24] I started playing through half life 1 for the first time today and it's better than everything in the orange box put together. Still I was amazed at how episode 2 can look so good and yet be so easy to run. The source engine is incredible.

Actually I do my dear lofty loft. I do. valve has taken a certain freedom no other company has ever done before, and I fear they will start a new trend where you cant complete a game no, you are forced to wait 2 years+ in order to see the light in the tunnel.

How does that work? They're producing the best FPS games out there, and are damn good at doing it. They also listen to their community alot through their forums. Deus Ex was legendary, as was SS, and there's no disputing that. I'm just wondering why you think they have to make a single game and please your stupid, unattentive ass when they're trying to do something different. This whole episodic gaming thing was an experiment for Valve, and its popular. Very popular. I like it, as do 95% of the community. Why do you feel that the game has to fit into some kind of 'Death Kill Regulations' to be good hmm? --- FAT- Camp

Or a film might be part of a trilogy. Only ITS NOT a tv series, and ITS NOT a film thats a part of a triology. Its...a....game. Maybe they are just trying to align games with other media. They don't all have to be trilogies, or a series, but I don't see why you are so against it. You don't have to play all of them to the finish. You haven't lost at life if you don't. A bit later ... Hmm, maybe the reason why I don't quite "get" your position is that the last game I finished was probably Monty Mole on the Spectrum. Anyway, you say potato, I say potarto ...

Kyrall Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.10.11 19:26:00 - [32] I was just about to try episode 2, and it won't run, neither will portal or TF2, they just say "please wait while steam verifies game files", then "validating 100%" and nothing runs :( I've tried running in offline mode, it's the same. The steam forums seem to be down too This is just great, first I can't play Eve, and now I can't play anything on steam either. At least I still have my Wii... explodes - Take another step back until you find you've walked away...
Asestorian Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2007.10.11 21:15:00 - [33] Death Kill your book comparison fails terribly. I have on my shelf several books that are split up into parts all following exactly the same story, and there were year+ long caps in between each one being released. There is nothing wrong with that. Half Life would suck horribly if they condensed the story into a single game. I mean, it would be absolutely terrible. Quite frankly, I'm happy to wait out the time so that I can get to enjoy a good story well told, than be an impatient little ***** whining about it so I get a good story raped and shortened, and then probably told badly as well. At the end of the day games are just another form of media, and most other forms of media tell long stories in parts. The only difference here is that the story is interactive. --- The Cake Is A Lie ---

Ah no that wouldnt work. But I would rather see HL, HL2 and HL3 instead of Hl HL2, episode one, two, three. Episode one and two was so short they could be 40-50% of a full game. Long games are great, if they are quality. Deus Ex appeared to be an unlimited source of fun when I first played it. Call to arms!!!

Ange1 Gallente The Establishment Establishment	Posted - 2007.10.12 14:45:00 - [44] Episode 2 reinforced my belief that the Half-Life saga is simply the best FPS single player/storyline to exist. No other FPS I've played or known about has ever had such a compelling narrative to it and Episode 2 is no different. Sure we all want them to be longer, but I don't care. As long as the quality remains the same or even better, I eagerly await the next episode, no matter how long it takes. I hear for Episode 3 they are redoing the physics system and allowing Source to take advantage of multi-core processors. The Establishment is at your service...
Frezik Brutor tribe	Posted - 2007.10.12 16:41:00 - [45] The Episodic gaming idea was that the games should be released in 8-12 month increments rather than 24. The problem I see is that Valve tries to upgrade the physics engine at the same time as they're creating new levels. HDR in Ep1 and Cinematic Physics in Ep2 is cool, but I'd rather have the games come in the originally stated 1 year time period. (It's true that the people working on the engine aren't the same as the people who write the story and design the levels. However, if one of the two groups falls behind, the whole game falls behind. Letting the engine guys work on their own towards HL3 while the rest do the episodes might have been a better plan.) The Trilogy is too deeply embedded in modern story telling to simply throw it away. Part I establishes the setting and characters. Part II puts the protagonist into a deep, dark pit. Part III gets them out of it. The textbook example is the first Star Wars trilogy. When released, Empire Strikes Back created a huge stir that lasted until the release of Return of the Jedi. Was Darth Vader really Luke's father, or did he just say that to throw Luke off balance? On top of that, you have Han being encased in carbonite. There are subtle differences between how various mediums can tell their story. For instance, a movie can have a scene away from the main character, and we might learn information that the protagonist doesn't. Most FPS games tell their story using cutscenes, which allow for divulging information similar to how movies work. But Valve doesn't use cutscenes (although that part in the middle of Ep2 with the G-Man comes close). The story is told through bits of dialog. This means you can only know what Gordan knows. Further, because it's a game, the story telling parts have to be cut short by the action, or else the player may get bored. There's no time to sit down with one of the NPCs and discuss the Seven Hour War in detail, for instance. On a side point, are we ever going to see Shepherd again?

Imperius Blackheart Caldari Trinity Nova KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.12 20:36:00 - [47] Edited by: Imperius Blackheart on 12/10/2007 20:38:09 Episode 2 is absolute quality, best installment in the HL series yet, short yet, but ooooh so sweet. The story actually starts to unfold, some of the mysteries are poked, and i'm so looking forward to episode 3. Valve are doing a great job, the Orange box is the best gaming deal ever. And i'd rather small amazing chunks of quality godlikeness than a huge long boring poorly coded bug filled game. Valve have so much respect from me these days, they don't just keep hitting the nail on the head they invent the hammer with which to do it. Edit: Replying the above guy Yes we need a shepherd episode, probably being woken up by the Gman to fight in the 7 year war or something, give us more info of what was happening in Gordens downtime.

Rawr Cristina Caldari	Posted - 2007.10.13 00:30:00 - [48] I would really like to know the story behind the HL1 - HL2 transition. I hope they describe it somewhat in EP3 All I can tell so far is that there was some kind of war (I figured the Seven Hour War was referring to what happened in HL1, but now i'm thinking it was something seperate altogether) which completely reshaped the world as we knew it. -----

I hope they describe it somewhat in EP3 All I can tell so far is that there was some kind of war (I figured the Seven Hour War was referring to what happened in HL1, but now i'm thinking it was something seperate altogether) which completely reshaped the world as we knew it. It's mostly explained already. 7 hour war, combine takeover, Gordon in stasis. Explaining more might reveal too much about the G-Man or other vital plot elements best left until HL3 --- Latest Video : FAT- Camp
Reiisha Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.10.13 01:35:00 - [50] Half Life storyline Some bloke just went through the game slowly, and gathered all the available material. He combined every clue he could find into this guide, and apparently it's pretty accurate according to people at Valve. Be warned though, it has some massive spoilers for those who haven't played the games yet. However, since he pieced it together from stuff you find in the games and the small book (raising the bar), there's no spoilers regarding ep3 or beyond. EVE History Wiki
touchvill Trinity Nova KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.13 01:46:00 - [51] Not a fan of the game. It's not as entertaining as Half Life II and falls way below expecations (the physics is cool on the bridge falling etc. The end left me unfulfilled and well pretty much dissapointed. I will play the next one because I like the storylines etc. Just it feels like a tedious addon to drag the story on a bit. If you want fulfilling ending, play Portal. ----------
Haerana The Republican Guard The Sundering	Posted - 2007.10.13 03:35:00 - [52] Originally by: Verone WAS AWESOME! QFT Man. The Setpieces were just so much fun. had a smile from ear to ear when they were going on. Love the lil bits of story unfolding and all the action sequences. The end was a giggle and a half. abit easy on normal though... think ill have to do it all again on hard. but man some bits didnt half pwn me on normal anyway.. ah well. The ending... well i didnt see it coming. and ill be damned just plain awesome. Also SEMI SPOILER BUT NOT REALLY SORTA KINDA BELOW THIS LINE The extra 8.5pounds he mentions near the end.... Do we think headcrab? (forgot its name) Also anybody else think the achievement of putting a gnome in space is gonna be ridiculously hard? the gnomes right at the start. found it the 1st time and threw it around alot :D... but taking it with ya the whole time? ------------------------------- Here comes the sig.............

Valainaloce	Posted - 2007.10.14 00:06:00 - [57] Originally by: Gamer4liff Originally by: F'nog Originally by: Caid Lemant Originally by: F'nog Any idea where I can get the Orange Box for <$49.99? I love it when I can get a game for less than regular price. Needed to buy it through steam before it was released. Yeah, yeah. I know. I suck. Can we get beyond that? I mean NOW, people! Any ideas? Well circuit city might be selling it for cheaper, but that's a longshot. Good call. I got it from them for $37.99. Now to go pick it up at the store. I used to get It. Then It changed. Now I don't even know what It is.
Death Kill Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.10.14 09:01:00 - [58] Edited by: Death Kill on 14/10/2007 09:01:58 Have to say Im dissapointed. The visuals are lovely but thats not ewnough to save it. The combine firefights are boring, the hunters are not challenging, the driving around with the car is just a copy of HL2 and not very exighting. Storywise its dull, go do this, go do that.....seen it all before. Havent completed it yet, but so far is a mere 6/10. edit : And Gmans monitor on his ofice desk.....either they dont have flatscreens in the future or hes using a really old MAC. Call to arms!!!

Clearly you played through halo 3 by mistake, what you wanted was half life 2 ep. 2.
Death Kill Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.10.14 15:22:00 - [60] Perhaps the STALKER A.I has made me spoiled, but the HL2 A.I is virtually non existent. Call to arms!!!

I was like, I'm Gordon Freeman, you don't need to tell me I did good at flipping a switch... And the fight at the end where you first needed to take down the hunter escort was a bit anoying on hard, apart from that 100% ! :) Good story Good gameplay Funny at time Loved it
Grimpak Gallente Trinity Nova KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.14 21:25:00 - [63] Originally by: Frezik On a side point, are we ever going to see Shepherd again? Shepherd got stuck in a space-time discontinuum by the G.man so that he wouldn't make any harm nor harm would be done to him. so the poor bastid is pretty much frozen in time, unless the G.man has some planning for him. --- planetary interaction idea!

Rakeris Brethren Empire	Posted - 2007.10.15 02:31:00 - [65] I loved the game it was very good. The last part was pretty easy, just run the hunters over with the car and then kill the striders. :o ---------- I gave up on sigs. As all the beatings from the abusive mods are starting to hurt and leave nasty bruises.
