Was it worth it?
 

For all of you who have played HL2, do you think that all the wait and anticipation was worth it? Answer honestly...

Yup

i still don't know what hl2 is oOo:

It surpassed my expectations greatly, i love everything about the game.

Definitely.

Definatly better than i expected.

just better graphics then i thought, i need a faster monitor, only have a 23ms response cuz it looks lame with this.

lol lcd monitor biggrin: Thinking of getting one of those now that 8ms versions are out, though 12ms are meant to eliminate blur totally.

i still dont have it loney:

its not that bad, after playing for more then 5 minutes it isnt even noticable. but im thinking of selling this monitor to my dad for $500 and buying a better one. link to an 8ms one?

game is good, the shit you can do is awesome BUT

after 4 years in the making, you would think they would animate the hands on the handlebars of the boat or mounted machine guns hake:

Great game. Definitely worth the wait.

I think they were trying to go back to the original HL with that. There were never hands up ladders or anything. It's very arcadey, and they kept it that way.

I've only played Vampire: TM - Bloodlines, which uses Source. Looks great and the gameplay is amazing.

That and if you're taking damage on the airboat the hands would have to react as if you're in pain, then you have the problem of steering as the pain animations are playing which would involve the handlebars moving as if hands are controlling them.

Dunno why this is such a hard concept to grasp, if the hands were to be visible on the handlebars and you were taking damage you'd expect the hands to give some kind of indication damage is being taken, twitching in pain or whatever.
