This is the dumbest thing you have ever written, and that's saying something, because your entire post history is like a greatest hits of incomprehensible stupidity.
Trying to understand nintenho is like trying to decipher the mysteries of a vanished language for which no viable codex exists.
I thought Episode 1 was pretty much garbage, but Episode 2 is better than Half-Life 2. It has one of the few, legitimately awesome "boss battles" ever put into a FPS.

For their novelty? Like the tank levels in Goldeneye?
I actually agree with nintenho on this one.Yeah but also, the way I played episode 1 was going for the one bullet achievement so every area meant having to search for the rubble and looking for anything that you can actually use. It felt more like a survival horror or adventure game then a shooter and I guess it was boring going from that to regular shooting in episode 2 since I played them back-to-back.
I'm a huge fan of the HL series and I enjoyed Episode 1 over Episode 2. Story-wise, EP2 wins, it just has a lot of juicy substance and awesome scenes. Gameplay wise it seems to be Episode 1 inverted. Instead of all the action sequences back-to-back in a short game, it's all the filler sequences back to back in a badly paced game.

i'm all for people having opinions but ... Ep 1 over Ep2 ?honestly, it feels like I tried to compare splinter cell and ninja gaiden. they're both good in their own way but I personally liked the really minimalist and dark areas of Ep1 where you're actually
are you fucking high?
zombines lawl.I can tell you, having played EP1 like five times, it feels survival-horror-ish regardless of how you approach the action.

HL2 has some horrible pacing and I never finished it.

and now we have people bashing HL2. gtfo of your own thread.
I can pretty much shutdown any argument that alleges that the original is superior to the sequel with one word: Xen
Everyone can go home now, thanks for playing.

Hint: it sucks.
now you're just being aggressively wrong on purpose. tsk tsk.
Himuro tries to troll and backfires spectacularly in two posts :lol
Revealed for the crappy gamer he really is :lol

hurry up and finish hl2ep2 so you can wait miserably like the rest of us
And sorry Willco, but you can take your "objectively better" and shave your ass with it. Both HL1 and HL2 are wonderful games, but HL1 is better. It has cohesive level design, actually challenging gameplay, better pacing and some really fun/awesome moments.
:patel
Well I hope you're following Black Mesa (http://blackmesasource.com/) then. I personally don't think they'll ever finish, but who knows.

I keep hoping that Valve hires these guys, sends them some resources to help them finish, and then puts Black Mesa in a package deal with Episode 3.
Wait, so you guys want to pay for a mod that would be free anyways?
And why exactly was it called the Orange box? Because of the orange Hazard Suit?

Valve takes 2-3 years to make 5 hours of gameplay with small engine upgrades. I don't think it's exactly the most efficiently managed company.Wait, so you guys want to pay for a mod that would be free anyways?
Because it might never be released? At the rate those modders are going, even if the mod were finished, it would look severely outdated upon release which completely defeats the purpose of a graphically revamped Hl1.

am nintenho neglects the fact that they run the premiere digital distribution venue for PC games and that other franchise they now have, Left 4 Dead.
In fact, Valve has released a game every year the past several years!
2007: The Orange Box, 2008: Left 4 Dead, 2009: Left 4 Dead 2, 2010: Portal 2, 2011: ???

Entanglement sucked.
I liked pretty much all of the Citadel, so I disagree.
am nintenho neglects the fact that they run the premiere digital distribution venue for PC games and that other franchise they now have, Left 4 Dead.I would say that the Orange Box is basically a "full" new game since it includes a 6 hour episode, a few hours of Portal, and the TF2 multiplayer (only a few maps though). But that took them 3 years in a company with over 200 employees so it's not that fast at all.

It's a fun, replayable game but I can't see where all the time went into it.

I'm not running away from my homojapuality but it's undeniable that this gen, every Asian game I've played other than Bayonetta (and the flawed-but-fun Dead Rising) have ranged from fair to mediocre. Seems the only good Japanese gaming left is on portables.
You can't see where all the time and energy went into a four-player coop game that is played online (good netcode!) with large environments, dynamic A.I., 8-player versus mode, etc.?The AI and netcode is impressive but how many man-hours does that take? The reason there was such a huge time/resources cost in moving to next-gen platforms is the higher res assets. I don't see a lot of assets.
Really?
what do you do for an encore, denounce minge?
I can pretty much shutdown any argument that alleges that the original is superior to the sequel with one word: XenI'm probably the only person who liked Xen, though I definitely had my issues with it. The Bull Testicle Crab in the pit, I beat by finding a spot where it wouldn't slide me off the ramp into the pit, and killing it from a distance. I also quicksaved my progress on each of the platforms when doing that big ascent. Yeah, it was not in alignment with all preceding gameplay, but I guess that also made me feel like I was battling on the aliens' home ground, with them at the advantage.
Everyone can go home now, thanks for playing.
Half-Life 2 is about ten - nay, maybe fifty six - times better than the original. You can't really disagree, the sequel is just objectively better. The only people that prefer the original are nostalgia wankers.I'm a nostalgia wanker.
Whereas FF13's structure makes it among the most boring and badly paced rpgs ever, this doesn't mean it doesn't work with HL2. In fact, games like HL benefit from such structure. FF13 isn't a good comparison.
I prefer HL2's end game but whatevah.
I want more dammit!!!!!
Honestly, the only thing I didn't like was the final battle. Maybe I was doing it wrong, but I'd fire Magnussums at the Striders and they'd fall right off, and I'd have to keep going back and forth in attempts to make a hit. Fucking annoying and tedious, but still fun I guess.
