clocked it at 13 hours gameplay, died about 25 times. Fantastic game from start to finish. Ending rocks, totally caught me by surprise aswell. Not gonna go into full detail but the GMAN is baaaack... and if and when your time comes again, he will make a decision for you.

HALF LIFE 3 - ETA: When it's done!!

so they kinda copied halo 2 did they, is it like a cliffhanger, oh and what happends?

Cant really copy a game thats released around the same time... company spies emailing game info from bungiee to Valve :whistle:

games can take years to make, so by the time halo 2 was out Valve changed the ending of half life 2 in less than a week ;) yea right

ah well I just finished the game on all 3 difficulties to see if the ending changes, and it doesn't. A little disapointed but leaves it open for 3. But man I was expecting a little more, like all the hints at time travel and what not. A better ending, more of what I was expecting would have been for the gman to stop what he does and enlighten us on the future (where he is from guiding freeman) and how this is going to show humans the way to time travel. Then going back and stoping alyx from going upstairs, would have been great. I was hoping to see that as the end, but guess I'll wait till 3.

yeah.. i found the plot to be very lacking, considering the hype around it i never really noticed much until the last 2/3 levels.

Yup. I have! What did you think of the ending? :/

*SPOILER*

I loved the slow motion blow out... and again G-Man as if from no where!

Damn... Didn't take as long as I thought it would... but those Striders are hard too kill

Yeah, I just finished it. 12 hours for a very experienced gamer - well worth it! The ending was a great and I found I really did care for Alyx. The pose is just so perfect! :D

The storyline is great, but it's doesn't exactly pan out like most do because everything must be told from Gordon's perspective and from where Gordon is. Go at it with an open mind and see if you're still disappointed. ;)

I just finished the game. Boy, I really wish they told us who the G-man really was. Who really knows maybe he's god. He certainly seems to be omniscient

I foundthat I also cared about Alyx especially when she went up on the roof too see if there was any other place to go. I screamed No and felt bad that i could not shoot the idiots on the roof

yea i finished it just now as well.... to tell the truth i absolutely loved the story. it kept me hooked, and kept my bloodpressure up the entire time :D. Around 12 hours here... 8 yesterday when it was released, and 4 today when i got home from work. What's takin HL3 so long.... jeez! :D

finished it in 12 hrs on hard - and was that worth ?35? nope. no multiplayer and the worst ending ive ever seen after 6 years of their work, do they expect us to wait 6 years for an ending worth its salt? half life 1 was the best game ever, but a lot of people forget that the last few levels were awful and the ending was dreadful. half life 2 could have been so much more, yet they chose to end it on another terrible note. it might have worked in a book, but it doesnt work in a game which is already a sequel.

    • take your console only release and shove it. i sold my ps5 as my pc wipes the floor with it, at the point of sale i didn't envisage being ignored by one of the biggest and wealthiest developers ever because they simply can't be bothered to support a loyal user base. as i only played the single player versions, i'll be obtaining this "free" when it eventually reaches PC as an afterthought to pay for their christmas party drinks in 2029. screw me, screw you cockstar
    • Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again
