Actually, I played HL1 in 2001 and enjoyed the hell out of it. I played HL2 when it came out and lost interest after I made it through the antlion section.Codgo said:
Sorry, I didn't read your post, I was just responding to the original post. Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that I had a lot more fun playing HL1 than HL2. There were some great technical achievements in HL2, I will not argue that, but none of them made the game better for me.Wicky_42 said:
Regarding the plot, because I havn't played episode 1 and on, I try not to read what other people are saying about it because as it is now, I already know some characters die when I wish I didn't know that yet. When the orange box came out, I started up HL2 again, so I could work my way though it and then ep1 and 2. Once again, I got bored and stalled out half way through the game. There just isn't much substance in the game for me to grab onto. All the plot for the first 4+ hours is running and running aimlessly across the countryside. I just don't enjoy that. By that point in HL1, I was searching for a way to help out my fellow scientists and dodging bullets from the people that I was told were going to rescue me.
