First Halflife 2 review score appears...


Recommended Posts

This according to halflife2.net. A trusty forum memeber posts that the game got a score of... 96 in PC GAMER UK that should come out next month (tomorrow :)). It's also apperantly the second or third game to recieve that high a score on the magazine, the other one being... Halflife 1 :)

This game better not suck. I don't trust magazine reviews ever since the Unreal 2 incident with PC Zone :D

Heh...Don't even mention the Driv3r fiasco.. :shifty:

Oops..just did :pinch:

If I am not confused, which happens often, PC Gamer had an exclusive on Doom3 and gave it a 98% I believe. While I agree the games techincal prowess is as of yet unmatched, the game play of the game fell well short of 60%. It was mundane and repetive at best, and a total bore at worst. I hope this is not the case, but if you go PCGamer's track record of reviews, HL2 will look good and play bad. Like I said I really hope this is not the case

I hope this is not the case, but if you go by past reviews HL2 will look good and play bad. Like I said I really hope this is not the case

i.e. Doom 3 Multiplayer sux cyber demons crack

i agree...i spent $40 on the game, and still haven't finished it, mostly because when i load it, i stare at the screen thinking, "Do I REALLY want to play Doom3...or FarCry (which I have finished and started again)?"

ripped :ninja:

This game looks fantastic. But maybe thats my fanboyism for Half Life shining through.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
    • Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
