HL2 Game of the Year?

{White_Knight} · 11-18-2004, 11:09 PM

The wait has certainly paid off, HL2 blows aways Doom 3, Far Cry easily.

I know everyone is going to bang on about fan boys etc but there can't be any denying the HL2 experience is awesome. While some of the features are not revolutionary the exectution is almost flawless. Most of my mates have old mid range graphics card like the nvidia 5600 and can run it high at 60 Fps smooth as glass. Only problems Ive had is with sound popping but when the gameplay is this good, who cares....

Im gonna smack that Breen real hard when I get my hands on him :nxs:

HL2 Game of the Year, I reckon so :thumbup:

I bet goes to HALO 2. HL2 might be a very good game but it didn't make the cut.

Some of the set pieces are brilliant :thumbup: The section through Ravensholm is just superb, with wave after wave of Zomies and head crabs (especially those quicker more deadly black crabs) is just an amazing experience. You actually feel the game environment as well as see it. I experienced this in very, very small doses in Farcry but nothing like this.

The close-quarter fire fights with the Combine in the warehouses and the like are just great :thumbup: This is nothing new and has been executed in many games before, but the difference here is it has been done right this time

I personally can't fault the game, apart from the sound issues. even though i have a top end sound card it still seems to cause problems every now and then.

And nobody can forget the horrendous loading times and loading points, but it's not that big a deal when you know that the action is going to be thick and fast again in no time at all.

9/10 :thumbup:
A piece of brilliance, well worth the wait.

Before anybody starts, i'm not a ****** fan boy. I just appreciate a cracking game when i see one.

HL2 is game of the year but I don't know if it's the best game of all time, too many good games have passed.

My only beef with HL2 is the loading time, the game for whatever reason seems to take a long time to load, both the game initially and level loads in-game.

Kami have you actually played HL2!!?

Halo 2 was to short easily completed in 6 hours. Oh I forgot, you can wield dual weapons wow Halo 2 lacks innovation unlike HL2.

In my mind Halo 2 is pretty much a standard shooter like Doom 3, short on gameplay and ideas.

Yeah HL2 is easily the game of the year!! For me it's the best fps ever. But that just my oppinoun. The game is so beautiful! About the loading times. I don't think they are so long when you think how much they load. It loads big areas and many enemies.

Well if it goes after me none of both should be it.
But I get the feeling that HALO 2 still will be the game of the year for most mags. HL2 best PC game, that's pretty certain.
But Halo will be still announced as best FPS game this year...just a feeling i have.
I go play Bomberman now.

Certainly my game of the year yes. There's something satisfying about shooting those guards in the head,
