farcry was the first to release a next gen fps. i have no interest in hl2. looks like every other game thats put out now, and some even look better.

Oh gimme a freakin' break man. Its way too early in the thread for this garbage. You could've kept all that to yourself., keeping this thread a bit more positive. Go make an anti halflife2 thread or something.

Gamespot: 9.2 - but take into account that all their coverage has had a negative edge ever since ever.

IGN: 9.7

so that means no, no good deals so far ;)

$45 is cool but it's on back order... plus i assume you pay $5 shipping and wait 1-2 weeks

I never played the first one, but this one looks spectacular. I am actually looking forward to seeing how much more fun this is than Doom3. I am hoping HL2 is going to be much easier to see things, meaning I hope the whole environment is not so dark.

gamespot can suck my nuts, how can it not be revolutionary? the use of physics heavily factoring into gameplay is revolutionary. :angry:

gamespy and ign suck d**k. i wont look at anything they put out even if it is positive. gamespy invented the pay for faster downloads thing.

There is a staff training day at college tommorow so I got the day off. I got my new GFX card today as well, this has been a great day so far.

In regards to Gamespot's reviews of HL2 and H2:

More was written on dual-wielding than was on manipulator. That alone says it all. Even a buddy of mine who never played FPS before's jaw dropped upon seeing the manipulator in action. Dual-wielding is just like having one gun, only doubled. It's a nice feature, but THEY DON'T COMPARE.

And it's a really good point, too. I'm really starting to wonder about them...

HAHA Thought it was funny that they had Windows 3.1 as an OS on there. Damn and I was hoping to play HL2 on Windows 3.1 :unsure:

[Larney]

Anybody with UK info?

[Marduk]

See the problem with the whole connect via dial-up is that I don't have a 56k modem in my PC, tha'd add to the cost of the game, seeing as the places here don't know how to price 56ks lately.
