Half Life 2 is horrible

First they release it on this Steam thing. It freezes on loading for a ton of people. The files are corrupt or you can't freaking play single player because Steam is too busy. What if Steam goes down? What am I supposed to do? I have to have my FREAKING GAMES MAN. IT'S LIKE CRACK AND I CAN'T WAIT 24 HOURS.

Not to mention the lame enemies who shoot back at me. It takes like 7 shots to take them down and I am for the balls. I hit them so much and they won't fall. Talk about useless, the gravity gun. I can pick up a couch but I can't even toss a human? I can overturn a buggy, but I can't launch a combine soldier who looks like he ate too much for lunch?

The shadows are completely fudged, the gameplay is more of a tech demo. You have to look for a story and create your own because they skimped on creating one.

They randomly banned 20,000 users to "prevent cheating". Scam I say, they just wanna make more money and make the people rebuy it!

Counter-Strike Source isn't only lame and the same, it's not even finished. They have like 6 maps. They suckered who knows how many people into a lame half-life 1 update not to mention DoD which might not even come out forever much less be converted to Source physics and looks. Lame! Ravenholme wasn't even scary and geez, Gordon seems to be missing hands.

Not only does HL2 run well, it runs well because it looks like a 3 year old game. Geeeezzzz. Objects warp through other stuff when you pick them up. Even get close to someone else online and you experience major lag.

What a letdown. You hype this game up to give you $1 worth of entertainment and instead it just puts you to sleep.

Can't we just have one thread talking about how much Half-Life 2 sucks?

Edit: And I'd hardly say it looks like a 3 year old game...

Ermm... sarcasm? It's hard to tell because what you're saying is so incredibly dumb.

Well, I do have to agree with what he says about Steam. It's a huge and unnecessary pain in the ***.
I bet you think that's funny, don't you.

If it's so bad, send it to me. I'll paypal you five bucks.
woot!

dunno if you're being sarcastic or not, your post is just that dumb...

Did you even play the first HL? You had to find the story yourself throughout the game, it wasn't handed to you on a plattr. That's one of the reasons it was so immersive, they didn't have to bring you out of character to give the story to you...it was like actually being gordon freeman

I can't, because Steam sucks and won't let you sell CD-Keys because it's against their agreement. Or I would.

Actually, minus the comments about the graphics, I must say you're arguments are quite true. The engine has some crappy shadow effects, CSSource needs far more maps, HLSource was a joke, and unworth my money, and HL2 plays more like a "Wow, look what we made our engine do..." demo, rather than a game. I wholly agree with all of the above: The only problem, is that it's fun.

I foresee many great quality games on this engine, and I'll still be playing HL2 for one reason: Mods.

Actually, the source engine is stupid buggy. The first game on the engine that's been done for ages, V:tM:Bloodlines, is buggy to the extreme.
