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.

    • No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.
    • Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000
    • I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.
    • As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.
    • Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
