Also: HL2 is the second-best use of backtracking EVER. Simply beautiful how it's all executed.

I'd think the reverse castle in symphony of the night, no?

Just got this email from VALVe's Erik Johnson concerning the expected bugfix for the famous "Stuttering Issue":

We're still working through some testing on this release. It might be something we'll want to hold for another day and release tomorrow.

Sit tight, Half-Life fans. VALVe is very aggresive about fixing these kinds of problems (and getting them done right). We'll continue keep you updated as soon as we hear anything new.

So close, yet so far...

The Legacy of Kain series, because while you're constantly walking back and forth over the same areas in almost every single game they're all in different time periods and let you witness the various rise and falls of civilizations throughout Nosgoth's history.

If you want to say just one game than HL2 does it best, the circumstances just make it so cool. You start out next to your final goal as a near-prisoner and come back as the leader of a revolution, tearing ass through all sorts of barriers that once held you back.

I want more.

Getting them done right ... HAHHAHA

I rented out Half-Life 2 from work tonight. My impressions after about 3 hours of play..

-I will take texture pop-in over load times any day of the week. Some scenes really got me going with some really intense moments and then *POP* LOADING LOL! So I just sat around and wondered if I could fit in a game of Feel The Magic before it started again.
-I expected the AI to be smarter..combine soldiers just line themselves up like dominos to be shot all the time. During scripted events, characters act like you're not there and just push you aside.
-The script is nice so far and the acting is on par with Halo 2. Good stuff.
-Damn that atmosphere. I was like...afraid to walk outside during the opening parts of the game. They nailed it.

So far? I like it. I just wish the enemies weren't so damned stupid.

Haha.

Perhaps you should stop your shitty attempts to troll and elaborate on what is so comical about my post.

Who said I was laughing at your post?
