I was just confused by things I had read in the wiki that didn't make much sense with what I was seeing in HL2.
HL2 was a great game. My only problem was there was too much filler. By that I mean when you get the air boat... That section is TOO GODDAMN LONG, same with the buggy driving section. And at the end when your in one of those prisoner transportation pod things, after about 5 minutes of floating around I was like "Ok... GET ON WITH IT"
Oh... And I HATED the friggin squads that followed you and would BLOCK EVERY FRIGGIN DOORWAY and sometimes i'd get stuck between two and they wouldn't move >.<
Can't wait to play HL1 for real (i've seen someone play the first 30 minutes of it before) |
I thought Half Life 2 was almost perfect. My first time through the only part I didn't like was the motor boat/air boat, but on my second time through, I actually really enjoyed that part. The buggy driving sections were AWESOME. Just really really fun.
The transportation thing was excellent. It was a complete payoff. I guess for people who don't like the Half Life series, they might get irritated and be like, "OKAY! GET ON WITH IT!" but I think that people who are fans of the series found that last part with the transportation thing to be especially awesome. My three favorite parts of the game were: Ravenholm with the gravity gun, the desert/prison with the antlions under your control, and the last level with the powered up gravity gun.
And the overall pacing and balance in the game was pretty much perfect.
I think Half Life 2 crushes Half Life 1 big time... but I guess I'm just one of those people who thinks that HL2 was a big improvement on HL1 which was a great game.
