Half-life 2 sucks.
2004-11-26, 9:42 AM #81
what a ripoff.

I DEMAND CONSISTENT FANTASY WEAPONRY!!
2004-11-26, 9:45 AM #82
it's consistent. it wasnt made to pick up people, when the citadel takes all your weapons away, the beam things malfunction when taking the gravity gun away and accidentally super charge it
2004-11-26, 9:47 AM #83
bah, sounds like a weak plot hole!!! :D
HL2 SUXBAD OMG!

suicide isnt funny to everyone
2004-11-26, 10:13 AM #87
it is if it's a clown commiting suicide.

my friend died and i cried.

but not as much as i cry for the faulty gravity gun... as if they didn't even put the schematics on STEAM.
2004-11-26, 10:19 AM #89
are you being sarcastic, because i dont see where you get this 'faulty.'
2004-11-26, 10:20 AM #90
Am I the only one who liked it?
2004-11-26, 10:22 AM #91
it wont pick up living things, but surely it would tear the wallets out of their pockets or the false teeth from their mouth.

this game just makes me wanna cry now. :(

and in response: never, sarcasm is for THE WEAK.

Basically the rest of Massassi realizes they are dumb reasons and makes long posts about how they are wrong.
Freelancer beats game on medium, says he over-reacted.


Yes I jumped on the train...or not. I've stated my mild distaste for it for a while now.

Just to appease you bastards, though, I'm buying it now. Mainly because I don't want to wait a week for all the stores to restock their games. But that's besides the point.

Why don't you do something useful instead of standing around going "OH WOW LOOK AT THE FLAME WARS IN MASSASSI". Like posting another leaving thread. Only this time, actually LEAVE.

Can the level of stupidity in this thread be reduced a few levels? It's a game, this should not be getting this heated.

I noticed a bug with the grav gun just now. I was able to pick up the corpse of an ant lion with it, right after the part where those two guys are stranded on a rock. But I was only able to pick up one of the corpses.. it was very weird..

that's interesting. might it have had a piece of wood in it or something? i know you can move corpses if there's something underneath them, so maybe something got stuck. Still odd.

METAL GEAR SOLID: SNAKE EATER.

Sorry, but that's probably the stupidest name for any game currently on the market. That's like the next splinter cell game being named SPLINTER CELL: PRO FISHER or some crap like that, but it won't be because splinter cell isn't japanese. Stupid japanese people and their stupid japanese games that have stupid names.

I hate you all.

someone might have answered these already and I dont want to read the whole thing.

Quote:
1. It takes 1 clip to kill one guy.. with like.. every single gun. And you can hold.. umm... enough ammo to maybe kill 3 guys if you're lucky.


Well, zomibes dont need their internal organs as much as people and the combine have armour and probably have a physiology much better than that of people.

either that or the difficulty level is at the highest.

Quote:
2. Every single time an enemy is near, you have no goddamn idea where it will come from. There are NEVER any enemies around, EVER. They just teleport in 10 feet behind you all the time. I NEVER EVER get the first shot off. I always get shot in the back, regardless of swinging my view 360 at 100 mph like a paranoid man (which HL2 has made me become). It wears REALLY thin, NEVER EVER being able to see an enemy until you're half-dead.


Where the hell do you expect the zombies to come from, helicopter? I just assume they come from outside the rendered level area or mabye from I dont know? UNDERGROUND like the zombies from movies. :rolleyes:

Quote:
3. There are NO weapons at all that are good at long range. I wouldn't really have a problem with this, except that 80% of the enemies appear beyond the ideal range for shotgun/smg (which are the only guns in the game that give you any ammo). So it takes a clip or more to take out one guy. Bleh.


See 1 and 2. Also, didn't you just complain that they aprear right next to you. You do know that you dont need to kill every enemy in the whole game to win dont you?

Quote:
4. I am SO tired of every other scene being scripted. *YAWN*. I keep wanting to get past all this bull**** so I can get to the meat of the game, but when I got to the Citadel and I was still plowing through bull****, I got a little worried.


If you can find a way so that the entire storieline comes through on its own or even a tiny amount of story proggression to occur through the AI's programming alone, includeing speach and reactions to things said, then you can complain about too many scripted sequences. Also, if there were no srcipted sequences, you would be comlianing about there being hardly any story at all.

Quote:
5. Tons and tons of poor gameplay descisions. Silt Striders or whatever they're called is the worst thing ever in any game. There's NEVER any ammo for the RPG when these things are around. Sigh. I've repeated scenes greater than 20 times. I don't like dying so much.


you do know in both major fights with them, there is a crate of RPG ammo in the area, the first major fight actualy had its inside a protective bunker.

Quote:
6. Most of the game, especially the harder parts, seems more like a rat maze than a FPS. Eventually if you die enough times, you remember exactly where to step, which barrel to avoid, which machine gun to run to before the enemy does, and the way you play becomes a pre-scripted adventure. I want a godamn FPS.


well, that is the disadvantage of not restarting the game from the very start of the game each time you die, it is so you can learn from your mistakes.

Quote:
7. Too many environmental hazards. I want to fight the enemy, not the level.


i'm sorry, did all that sewage in the sewers annoy you because a biohazard hurt you or a fence with a live power wire on it zap you. Biohazards mean you need to just be much more careful than in other games.

Quote:
8. There was one place in the game that was an insta-kill button. You press a button, and you're dead. This takes the game down a few notches right there.


hmm, I will just press this button without looking around to see what it might do.

my god, something like that makes the game so much more fun because you need to take care, just like in real life.

Quote:
9. The weapons are simply ineffective. They are not fun to use. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is a total chore to use. I hate using the 9mm pistol because it's very innacurate and you'll run out of ammo with it before you can do anything notworthy with it. The desert eagle is a chore to use because.. umm.. well... if I get some ammo for it I'll let you know! Hahah!


I'm sorry, do you miss the days where the difference between guns was their texture, damage type (physical, electical or explosive) and the amout of hitpoints they took away.

these day, shooters have this thing called strategy, jujst like you would need to do if you were really gorden freeman.

Quote:
The smg... what a piece of trash this "gun" is. This gun takes 2 or 3 clips to kill someone with. It's weak, innacurate; it's only saving grace is the grenade launcher, but again, you can only use it a few times over the course of the game. No AMMO! I NEED ****ING AMMUNITION TO ENJOY A GUN.


dude, you need to know that there will only ever be ammo in area of the modern FPSs if there are characters in that area that are using it.

Just look at the tomb raider games. there just happens to be lots of ammo in all those ancient ruins. It is a realism thing. also, if you had a real live version of a gun like that and had the same weapons training as gorden did, I would seriously doubt you could do any better in the exact same situation

Quote:
The pulse rifle, Unfortunately I find myself playing 99.99999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999% of the game with this stupid gun. It's not bad, but it's too innacurate. Its secondary fire is totally inneffective.


agian I say that this game is about more than just fireing your weapons at the enemy. there is also strategy involved in it.

Quote:
The shotun; this may actually be the only gun that is *somewhat* fun to use. The only problem is, ammo is somewhat lacking most of the time and it's short range.


just like a real military shotgun. Including the funness of using it to wail on zombies.

Quote:
The dart gun: See desert eagle.


what, you expecte a dart to do more damage than a machine gun. The dart gun is for sniping purposes and darts realy do take a while to load into a crossbow.

Quote:
RPG: Highly effective, NO AMMO. It's impossible to do anything with this weapon unless you're near a rocket chest, therefore, that really sucks.


if there was a whole lot of ammo, everyone would be *****ing about how unbalanced the game is.

Quote:
Gravity gun: Not useful for killing unless you happen to have a saw blade or wrench handy. Even then, usually the saw blade is lost after one use, since there's now a wall of enemies between you and it.


I never had much of a problem with running around the zombies and doing a quick pull on the sawblade. (OMFG, I run from the enemy, I am an evil noob :rolleyes: ) , and agian, it is made like that so the game is balanced.

Quote:
10. The level design is alright... though if I have to descend another flight of stairs, jump through a hole in the rubble, etc. I will kill myself. My biggest gripe is it's just too item-dependent. See enemy. Shoot enemy. Spend 5 minutes looking for ammo and health. Repeat.


If you practised more on games that were more than strategy than just fireing guns at 3d models and moving along a path, you would know that there is much more to this game.

Also, so what about the architecture, this is a dilapidated city, you would expect there to be many holes to jump through as other passages have been blocked (especially when there are attacks going on in the city). Also, how else would you go to higher levels of buildings with nonfunctional elevators. They dint want to do whole buildings, this is an FPS and not an RPG after all. they dont need to have a building with every room accessable.

Quote:
So there you have it. I just can't enjoy this game. And it's because of the lack of ammo, weapons that are chores to use, and everything else I mentioned. Using the weapons is supposed to be fun.... I'm always afraid to squeeze off a round because I'm too worried about ammo conservation. That's NO fun.


because you are to arrogent to admit that you suck at stratigic gameplay or are still in denial that strategy is playing a bigger role in FPSs than it did in the days of quake1.

The only instance in the entire game of enemies spawning at all is in the coast with the antlions, and even they unburrow from underground. All the other times, they actually come from somewhere. Doors, usually. I don't know where anyone would get the idea of "enemies randomly spawning behind you where you can't find them" unless you have a really crappy monitor.
