Played the first one? Yeah but there was the fat baby Boss to kill on the last level at half-life1, I dont really think shooting snowglobes at an elevator counts as a boss-level to end HL2 >>>>WTF? >>> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > half-life1, I dont really think shooting snowglobes at an elevator > counts as a boss-level to end HL2 Certainly not. Looked to me like the end was a rush job. ~T. I was GLAD there wasn't some worn out same old giant creature to kill at the end that had a billion hit points. How tired is that? > >>>WTF? > >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > half-life1, I dont really think shooting snowglobes at an elevator counts > as a boss-level to end HL2 >>>WTF? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > It was expected.

Though I didn't really have time to miss it whilst playing HL2. I only missed it when I finally finished and was just sitting here, thinking about it. "Hey, where was Xen?@?@" McG. > WTF? http://fragfiles.org/~hlstory// The ending was incredible! You people just are not using your brains on this one, think of that ending citadel level more as an interactive cutscene which of course doesn;t explain everything. The Striders were in fact the final 'bosses'. > The ending was incredible! > > You people just are not using your brains on this one They're probably the sorts of people that don't enjoy a movie unless it's got the same old predictable hollywood ending ;)  SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench > > The ending was incredible! > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > -- > Ben Cottrell AKA Bench Yep, thats what I liked about it, that it wasn't predictable. > > The ending was incredible! > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > -- > Ben Cottrell AKA Bench Yep, thats what I liked about it, that it wasn't predictable. No, I thought the last level was very weak compared to what had gone before. As someone else said - it smacks of a rush job. I think it would have been good to have a climactic battle, something difficult, whereas jumping up a few moving platforms then throwing the globes was a bit wimpish. And what about a blow job from Alyxx........... sheesh, now there was an opportunity........ I didn't mind much not having a climatic battle in the end, as much as I did mind its arriving so soon in the story, making this for a rather short game :( Not that there is reason not to expect a following HL3, but what I liked about the ending of HL2 is that it gives me the impression that there'll be a sequel, if feels that way based on the way things were left. My impression anyway, Jay > No, I thought the last level was very weak compared to what had gone before. > As someone else said - it smacks of a rush job.

I mostly agree. The ending did seem a bit anticlimactic but it was a welcome break from the usual kill-a-hundred-minions-then-fight-the big-boss-and-die-fifty-times-trying-to-find-its-weak-spot. Where the game was lacking was that it didn't reveal any plot points throughout the whole topsy-turvy mess. In fact it really didn't have a plot at all except go here, go there, kill things, try not to die. Too many unanswered questions. Oh well, it was still a lot of fun and I'll play it several times as I did the first HF. >> The ending was incredible! >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Too many unanswered questions.

Some old questions had multiple possible answers. I say this because I thought one thing in HL1 and was show some of a different thing in HL2. Examples: What happens after Gordon kills the Nihilanth and Gman offers him a job?: He sleeps till well after Earth is invaded...oh...Earth *IS* invaded! Yeah... and he was in stasis for several years....gee. Many old questions were answered with that one, like what happens to everyone? We see more info on Gman, there is not much, and still a lot of questions, but we have more than we did before. Do we go to war with the Xen?: The Xen become our allies. A lot of the old questions are moot now, their answers happened in the interim period when Gordon was in stasis. The major result is Earth is wrecked, humanity is being exterminated, the Xen are being exterminated, and we have major baddies behind that scene we haven't even met yet. NEXT! HL3... more questions answered with questions.... :) McG. |
