Wizard Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agozer Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) 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.

Daeval Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) 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.

Although it's pretty much the same as grabbing one of those annoying electric orbs and launching them one by one down a ravine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it's pretty much the same as grabbing one of those annoying electric orbs and launching them one by one down a ravine.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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".

Gryph Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 I just stopped the buggy before they got to me and got out and did my business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
