[11/26/04] Half-Life 2

[Agozer]

This time though I know when it's an infinite fight against the zombies and won't waste my ammo.

Yeah, same thing happened here. I'll be more educated next time.

I simply bash them with crowbar

I am never short of ammo. Sometimes, when you are really close to a Combine, they can't shoot at you.

As for the antlions, run!!!!

I did start bashing them with a crowbar after i realized that they just keep coming and coming. Antlions are "flocking" nasty. Starship Troopers flashback anyone?

Good review.

Agozer the ant lions defently reminded em of starship troopers, i had a review of this game to post up, but like so many of my review attempts i only ever get half way down and forget to finish them.

Hahah... this why I rarely write reviews too.

[Wizard]

I have a complete review I did after beating the game twice after a week it came out (Long weekend + 2 days of skipping). But alas, it shall not be posted.

[Gryph]

Good for you.

[Agozer]

I still have not finished the game. I've just arrived at the outer perimeter of Nova Prospekt with my little "pets" and The Combine are giving me hell.

Since we're doing status reports, I'm working my way toward the (This is a spoiler if you're kinda dimwitted!) citadel. Human squadmates are a pain in the arse - they like to stand on grenades, or right behind you when you're trying to backpedal off of one. I think it's just the combination of tight spaces, lots of friendlies, and grenade happy enemies.

 

The bugs, however, kick ass. I'd ditch the filthy warmbloods in a second to have them back. And I love manhacks now that I have the grav gun, there's nothing more satisfying than nabbing them out of the air and slamming them against a wall, one after another, like frogs on a truck bumper.

Damn, why have'nt I thought of that? Although it's pretty much the same as grabbing one of those annoying electric orbs and launching them one by one down a ravine.

That was nice too, although something about the smash of the impact and the flying of sparks, and the sound of its little annoying motor winding down, makes butsin' manhacks that much more rewarding.

 

Did the electric orb things scream silently on the way down in your head too?

It did. Now that's scary. + It was really annoying when they attached themselves to your buggy and threw it around if you weren't careful.

 

God I love my "pets".

I treated them like a flat tire - find the first less busy spot, pull off to the side of the road, yank it off and launch it a few hundred feet over a cliff.

I just stopped the buggy before they got to me and got out and did my business.

Likewise, and it works like a charm.

 

... Except that one time when they busted through the roof of a house I was scoping out. Glad there was a cliff nearby.

Ah yeah, that was kinda neat. I wasn't expecting to be surprised by those of all things. Although I realized there is absolutely no good reason to waste your ammo on about 80% of those little settlements. I liked it anyway just for atmosphere.

 

Anyone else hate the black headcrabs? Those things take WAY more shots than a headcrab has any business taking.

 

And Agoz, when you get to the part with the three turrets, let me know how you get through it. You get no details for now.

[Agozer]

Like I've said before, the Black Widow Headcrabs make me want to stabsome one in the eye. They're so damn resilient(sp?) and they spit that damn neurotoxin at you.

 

Do you ever get a compelling urge to break all the furniture and windows inthose houses? I do.
