What is the highest rating ever given a game by PC Magazine and what game received it? > What is the highest rating ever given a game by PC Magazine and what >game received it? No takers? ok..On a scale of 1 to 10, PC mag gave Half life 2 a Kickass 11 when it came out. Bah! Victims of hype! I'm one of those people who think that Far Cry was robbed, and that it deserved more recognition than HL2 got, and that it is a better game. But I'm open to arguments to the contrary! > Bah! Victims of hype! I'm one of those people who think that Far Cry was > robbed, and that it deserved more recognition than HL2 got, and that it is > a better game. But I'm open to arguments to the contrary! I like the dialogs in the HL series, but I must admit the HL2 lacks somewhat behind HL I have just played through EP2 and finally I experienced a game from Valve which resembles the humour we came to love in HL If you love HL and haven't played EP2 then please invest the time and few bucks imho you won't regret it :) - Peter Oh yes, EP2 is a blinding game! The end sequence is great! As far as the last episode released goes, well, I was on the last level and got a bit fed up, never bothered finishing it. Since then I have reinstalled, lost all saves. Steam cloud cannot come soon enough for us users IMHO. >Bah! Victims of hype! I'm one of those people who think that Far Cry was >robbed, and that it deserved more recognition than HL2 got, and that it is a >better game. But I'm open to arguments to the contrary! I have replayed Far Cry a month ago and it was terrific I must admit. I just finished HL2 for the umpteenth time and again was blown away by the game. The main AI's was ahead of their time..looked fantastic and the graphics was phenomenal.IMHO it deserved a "Kickass 11" rating. Played EP1 right after that..was too short! Just starting EP2 (again!!). I had a saunter through the 64 bit version of Far Cry the last time I completed it. That too was a game that was way, way ahead of it's time! >> Bah! Victims of hype!

I love FPS and play most of the new one's that come out. Played HL2 a dozen times at least, played Ep1 half-dozen and Ep2 twice. It's dropping off with every release. I don't feel the need or desire to play them often now at all and that's a big change for me. Don't know if I'm getting jaded with games or the HL series is getting jaded? On the other hand I have only ever played one game I enjoyed more. COD4 comes close, but of the others I've played (or replayed in the last few months) they were all good but there are no other contenders at all. Some examples of these are COD4, Bioshock, FEAR and Extraction Point, Timeshift, Crysis and Prey. The one game that does (IMHO) beat the HL series is Stalker. Even with the bugs. I'm looking forward to Clear Skies much more than Episode 3.... I'll get me coat. >>> Bah! Victims of hype!

IMHO the HL2 series is getting a bit long in the tooth as even though the graphics etc. have improved radically since HL1 the actually premise/structure of the game is still the same. When you look at what Stalker is trying to achieve and compare this with the simplicity of HL is doesn't look good. Not to say that I'm not looking forward to HL2:Ep3 but I just wish the had made more of the series while it was still "fresh" so to speak. >>>> Bah! Victims of hype!

Yeah, I forgot about Time Shift and Pray AND Crysis of course!! >> The one game that does (IMHO) beat the HL series is Stalker. Even with >> the bugs.

Stalker was cutting edge and I enjoyed it, but two or three times through and i can;t find myself wanting to play it again. Definately looking foward to Clear skies. >IMHO the HL2 series is getting a bit long in the tooth as even though >the graphics etc. have improved radically since HL1 the actually [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >but I just wish the had made more of the series while it was still >"fresh" so to speak. HL3 (EP3?) is one FPS I am looking foward to the most..partly because of Portal and the reference to Aperture and the mysterious "Borialis" ship. I wonder if it will be the conclusion of the HL series?? Portal gun anyone??

The problem is that the corridor shooter is getting long in the tooth now and even added things like the portal gun can only keep the same idea going for so long. Personally I would like the series to end there. How wants HL to become just another one of the all time classics stretched to far as for Doom and Quake - I mean what reviews would these games have got if it wasn't for their heritage? re The one game that does (IMHO) beat the HL series is Stalker That was a fantastic game. But it definitely needs mods to work correctly. I did what I consider my best headshot ever in that game. Had to lead the target like in real life, took me 3 shots, but the 3rd one hit home with the desired result. The arena was cool too, Mad Max time there! >>> IMHO the HL2 series is getting a bit long in the tooth as even though >>> the graphics etc. have improved radically since HL1 the actually [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >classics stretched to far as for Doom and Quake - I mean what reviews >would these games have got if it wasn't for their heritage? I'm torn between having the series end and continuing on; depends on how the story unfolds and how exciting the game play is. The "briefcase" guy and who he represents and what his main objective is sort of keeps the mystery of the story going . Any news as to when EP3 will be going gold? Legion |
