Death Kill Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.10.17 20:38:00 - [31] Episode two was a major failure imo. HL2 was exellent when it first launched because its was groundbreaking and new. But after we have been spoiled with STALKER HL:Episode 2 is plain average. Average gameplay, average scripted enemies and average storyline. The only thing not average but above average is the visuals. In conclusion a massive let down. It seams that VALVE have been resting on their laurels while the gaming industry has taken it all one step further. Sign up today!
Sqalevon Masuat'aa Matari	Posted - 2007.10.17 20:39:00 - [32] Lofty, thats true. Still I don't think Episode 3 will revolve around portals, it's too obvious. Also Eli wouldn't be scared of it. I guess I'm exited to see what Borealis has waiting for us :D

I do agree that Episode 1 and 2 seem to be alot around showing what their Source engine is capable off.
lofty29 Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.10.17 20:48:00 - [34] Originally by: Death Kill Episode two was a major failure imo. You're still sour that noone agrees with you. The half life episodes, episode 2 especially, are truely magnificent in their ability to make the player feel like they ARE Gordon Freeman. In thief you feel like you're controlling a guy stealing things and infiltrating spooky mental asylum orphanages. In halo, you feel like a guy in a suit, but have no real connection the the character or characters around you other than 'oh that's so cool'. In HL2, episode 1 and 2, you have a true connection with characters such as Eli, Alyx, Barney, and you can see the way in which they have connections with one-another as well. Sure, the steam engine isn't groundbreaking anymore, but the stuff valve is producing within it is the pinnacle of gaming to this day, IMO. And wtf, STALKER? That game was good, but comparing it with Half Life 2? It looked pretty, and the gun-play was decent and very fun, but it was hardly groundbreaking, if that's what you were trying to get at? If you feel it was groundbreaking, can you tell me which aspect? Graphics, AI, gameplay? What. It all felt very good, very smooth, and very well-made, but it wasn't anything spectacularly new... --- Latest Video : FAT- Camp

Sorry......not much of a musician He's partially angry He's using much sarcasm now. Even though he played the game and liked it. ..and really did like it. ..and sung out his praise onto the web. As he sung it hurt because He was so happy for once. And while episode two was a bit of a tease, Still we're all astonished that he's actually pleased. So he's glad he got the box, Think of all the time he's lost, To the game that he actually likes. "Vae victus" ~ Julius Caesar "Woe to the Vanquished"
Kyrall Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.10.17 22:23:00 - [40] Stalker was cool, bit buggy though and when I found out the patches meant you had to restart the game (yet again in my case, I found it blooming hard) I just couldn't keep my interest in it. I intend to pick it up again someday, maybe after my next upgrade so it doesn't take so long to load... - Take another step back until you find you've walked away...

Asestorian Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2007.10.17 22:26:00 - [41] One day I'm going to try all these games like Stalker, but my computer isn't up to it and I don't really play the games I already do have ---

Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.10.17 22:33:00 - [43] Originally by: Mtthias Clemi Stalker looks meh, i never bought it! Stalker is one of the best storyline-based FPSs of all time. It combines aspects of free-roaming games like Morrowind with those of a linear FPS, and adds in a whole hell of a lot of original ideas. Result: total awesomeness. 23 Member EVE Video makers: save bandwidth! Use the H.264 AutoEncoder! (updated)

Rawr Cristina Caldari	Posted - 2007.10.17 23:03:00 - [46] don't know why but I found Stalker incredibly slow and tedious. I never liked Morrowind/Oblivion either other than because they looked pretty I loved every bit of Episode 2 though. As lofty said, the character interaction, way the story is portrayed to you and atmosphere in general are amazing. It's value as an FPS however is hardly groundbreaking, which is probably why some people (particually those not interested in the HL2 story) wouldn't have liked it. -----

Death Kill Caldari direkte	Posted - 2007.10.18 04:47:00 - [48] Originally by: lofty29 You're still sour that noone agrees with you. Eh sour no one agrees with me? This is a review thread, if you agree with me or not is irrelevant lofty-loft. Quote: The half life episodes, episode 2 especially, are truely magnificent in their ability to make the player feel like they ARE Gordon Freeman. In thief you feel like you're controlling a guy stealing things and infiltrating spooky mental asylum orphanages. In halo, you feel like a guy in a suit, but have no real connection the the character or characters around you other than 'oh that's so cool'. Thief check Halo check Half life ep:2 ....seen it all before. Done it. Predictable at every turn. Quote: In HL2, episode 1 and 2, you have a true connection with characters such as Eli, Alyx, Barney, and you can see the way in which they have connections with one-another as well. Sure, the source engine isn't groundbreaking anymore (why reinvent the wheel, anyway?), but the stuff valve is producing within it is the pinnacle of gaming to this day, IMO. Pinnacle? Hardly. Half life 2 was great. Episode 1 was pretty cool but 2 was as alread said a let down. Its all the same, a weak plot, nothing new other than the boring magnusson device. Ep2 had lots of riving like the others, but in HL2 you had huge open areas, in ep1 it was very limited. And the driving bit, it was really pointless as all it really did was take you from a to b. Might as well have created a cutsecene where they travelled. At least then you could have a cig. Quote: And wtf, STALKER? That game was good, but comparing it with Half Life 2? It looked pretty, and the gun-play was decent and very fun, but it was hardly groundbreaking, if that's what you were trying to get at? The STALKER AI is unrivaled. As a fps/explorer is far superior to HL2. And yes, the STALKER gameplay was in many ways groundbreaking. Quote: If you feel it was groundbreaking, can you tell me which aspect?

lofty29 Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.10.18 18:21:00 - [55] Originally by: Death Kill Quote: If you feel it was groundbreaking, can you tell me which aspect? Graphics, AI, gameplay? What. It all felt very good, very smooth, and very well-made, but it wasn't anything spectacularly new... The AI naturally and gameplay. How in the hell was the AI groundbreaking? All they did was go and hide behind trees, making gunfights last way, way too long I had one fight with 6 soldiers. It took a half hour because they kept hiding, and if I came out they'd just gun me down. It's not revolutionary, it's a bit annoying. The gameplay, like I said, was very good, but again; it's been done before, just not quite as smoothly. It was not revolutionary. As an exploring FPS, sure STALKER is better...but Half Life is a linear shooter, and that's what it's supposed to be. It doesn't give you space to explore, as that would not work. People would stray miles from the main story and not be able to pick it up again. Stalker is not the same type of game as half life, except the fact that they're both FPSes. That's their only similarity. --- Latest Video : FAT- Camp

It took a half hour because they kept hiding, and if I came out they'd just gun me down. It's not revolutionary, it's a bit annoying. I'm sorry soldier, but I have to pull rank on you. I have played a lot more games that you, infact I have played games longer than you have existed. The AI in STALKER were CLEVER, clever Splinter cell style and then some. They kept hiding because they knew that if you went out in the open....they would be left out in the open and gunned down. When they killed you becaue you came out means they outsmarted you. Tip : Flanking is your friend, so is vantage points. Take advantage of the terrain, basic infantry tactics. Quote: The gameplay, like I said, was very good, but again; it's been done before, just not quite as smoothly. It was not revolutionary. The whole 'STALKER world' was quite revolutionaty. It was the luv child of Silent Hill+doom3+half life. Exploration, horror and action all packed in one nice box. Quote: As an exploring FPS, sure STALKER is better...but Half Life is a linear shooter, and that's what it's supposed to be. Really? I thought HL2 was quite the explorer/fps Quote: It doesn't give you space to explore, as that would not work. People would stray miles from the main story and not be able to pick it up again. Stalker is not the same type of game as half life, except the fact that they're both FPSes. That's their only similarity. In HL2 I drove the car and stopped by abandoned houses and killed some peeps and discovered some sheit. I apreciate HL2 for what it was. When it first launched it was 'uberpwnagex100'. But the industry changed, and VALVE failed to adapt. You wont find a bigger HL2 fanboy than me(arguably) but ep1 was 'ok' while ep2 was 'bah/meh/pffft'. Sign up today!

What a comeback edit : Me<---------------------------------------------your point Please help me fill the gap edit 2: Valve created the game of the year and they thought their engine and storyline alone could give them unlimited credits. They thought wrong. Their storyline turns weaker and weaker for each episode, and the graphics alone isnt enough to save them. Valve devs even said 'we wont focus on new stuff, instead we create new stuff for the grav gun....the magnusson device'. Yeah, that gets a -10 in inventiveness. Episode 2 was just HL2 with different locations and thats that. Sign up today!

I really wish people would THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX and use different terms. Every goon uses the term 'win' or 'fail' as their vocabulary is highly limited. I also wish they would think outside the box when it comes to receiving highly anticipated games. Just because a company created 'game of the year' doesnt mean they can do it over and over again.
