Greetings, fellow people of the Mario RPG Boards! Today, I would like to talk about Half-Life 2 and why I don't think it's a very good game (Compared to the original). I will be giving the reasons I think it isn't very good, and the good things about it.
Problems: 1. They completely forgot the alien world, Xen 2. I wish Alyx wasn't there. She helps too much... 3. No more running through a facility, it's almost completely above ground. 4. Too many zombies 5. Most of the aliens from the first game are gone 6. The driving... 7. I just HATE the combine... 8. Not enough weapons, compared to the first game.
The Good: 1. The gameplay is fun for the most part 2. The voice acting is AMAZING 3. The graphics, man... 4. There are many different things you must do aside from shooting (Crane operating, vehicles etc) 5. Barney is awesome. 6. The atmosphere is as good as the voice acting
So, just tell me what you think! Please don't be rude about it, though. Until next time!

Half-Life 2 is like Dino Crisis 2, Resident Evil 2, or Silent Hill 2 in the sense that it made so many other forget about the first, even if the first game and more weapons and creatures. Most people cannot get around graphics either so there is that.

That is not too bad, I suppose.
It is weird how they did away with many of the creatures from the first, though. I understand it though. I'm just so used to the near universal love for all of the game.
I expected a rant when I clicked on the topic. I'm glad you pointed out the positives.

Well, I think they shouldn't have been so overused... There are so many kinds of them, with different weapons... How many different kinds of enemies are in the final area of Half Life 1? And how many different kinds are in Half Life 2?

I am so sad that you hate MERCIA! I support my country! *plays Siren*
Oh, wait...
I was just playing with you. I actually think we make the worst games, overall. Go Japan! Too many lame first person shooter, but Half -Life was one of the good ones like Metroid Prime.
Retro Studios is like the only good company we have.
I agree with here.... Japanese games are more unique and they have charm...american games used to too but nowadays they just want to have everything dark gritty and hardcore :c. It saddens me...because I prefer games with charm ^^

I like Japanese games as well... But I prefer Valve...
Do not scare me like that! I thought we had lost one of the original mods! We are the only originals from day one!
I would be Dark Fawful, the highest rank if I took off my status. That would be cool and I would have more stars, but I like my blue stars. You are Lord Midbus though! *jelly*

Good choice! ^_^
So many of these areas split people though. Some people love them and then some hate them. This game polarized a lot of fans when it came to locations.
