I know I am behind the times but... (Half Life 2)

[Red Dragon]

I just finished playing Half-Life 2 (along with ep 1 and 2)

At first I thought it was all hype. But now after I finally played through it I can see why so many people love this game.

Now I can't wait for episode 3!

So discuss games many other people have played you just got around to playing or just how awsome HL2 is, whatever.

I really, really liked that in HL2 they took the kind of fledgling, typical FPS story that was in Half-Life and really put some more background and stuff into it. Even though they went a little overboard on some of it, it seems.

I don't think they went overboard at all!

I LIKE THESE GAMES VERY MUCH

I can't get past the boat part. Because of ennui.

well, the whole "vortigaunts and stuff were under mind control by nihilanth, who was trying to flee combine in the first game when you opened a portal to xen which was being invaded by combine which caused earth to be invaded by nihilanth, but now the vortigaunts are good even though you killed a million of them because you killed nihilanth, but the headcrabs are still bad and what is the deal with those zombies eh" is a pretty complicated explanation to just say "vortigaunts are now your friend."

I guess they wanted gordon to have aliendd friendzz

Oh great Valve, forgive him, for he knows not what he does!

That guy looks like Charlie Sheen in The Arrival.

That's a fun movie in a very cheesy, outdated 90s way.

Best character in the game. It's too bad he can't fight outside of scripted events.
