What game... isn't cheat-filled and a hack-ridden cesspool of the universe?... So long as there are online games, there will always be idiotic and annoying people who will insist on finding hacks because they suck and are miserable when playing the game and want everyone to be equally as miserable. In other words, the scum of online gaming. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted October 17, 2004 GS-1719 said:I didn't touch the multiplayer component of the original Half-Life, but thought the singleplayer game was very good. I'm definitely looking forward to HL2, though nowhere near as eagerly as the fanboys. agreed. i played MP some times. i had loads more fun with ET than CS. note ET as in enemy territory. i loved the single player part of it. granted it was a bit gbuggy in places. i have the first version of HL so i remeber. infact i remember buying the game cause i had just sold another game. nothing else interested me, or i already had it. so i took a stab at the mystery game. i was very very surprised 0 Share this post Link to post

Verdale Posted October 18, 2004 Yes, yes I already knew this. A more summarized version of the story from another website. LOS ANGELES (October 18, 2004) – Vivendi Universal Games (VU Games) today announced that Half-Life® 2, the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed PC titles in gaming history, will ship to retail outlets around the world in November. Even though ValVe, the company that created Half-Life 2 said their release date to be November 1st, Vivendi announced that Half-Life 2 has gone gold only now with a planned retail street date of November 16, 2004. The countdown to the highly anticipated retail street date has begun around the world, as VU Games completes plans to ship localized versions of Half-Life 2 simultaneously in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Korean, Thai and Japanese. Uh-Oh Doom 3's got competition! Hah, let the computer game war begin! <evil face> 0 Share this post Link to post

Scuba Steve Posted October 19, 2004 I think it would be interesting to know... what is the average age of a "Doomer" to that of a "Lifer". I would just be willing to wager that Doomers tend to be older. For many of us, Doom was the first game we played that changed our outlook on gaming... 5/6 years later HL came out and was the game that influenced another generation of gamers. 5 years may sound few, but in gaming terms that's a long time. So when the respective sequels to each of the two gaming generations flagship titles are due at the same time, critiques of both will probably be recieved completely different. Let's assume that the average gamer was introduced to each at the age of 12. 11 years later, Doom players would be 23 and Half Life players would be 18. This does not account for the fact that when Doom came out it was wildly addicting to older people too and college campuses, so the average age of Doom players is probably a bit older (Fodders). To me, this seems like what I'm seeing in the reviews too. Ask Veteran Doomers what they thought of Doom3, you'll probably get "OK, the same gameplay I played 11 years ago, so it gets stale." And being older, people tend to be more reasonably critical of things, and thus are probably harder on there game's sequel than Half Life's fanbase. Where the hell was I going with this... Both games will probably adhere to there original gameplay styles and not be incredibly innovative, just fun games. Screw it, I forgot where I was going with this two paragraphs ago. I'm tired, I'm going to bed. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ok now for the truth. Im a 19 year old gamer who is very interested in Half-life 2 becuase of its physics aspects. i do not see a single thing in doom that lets me drag various characters across spiked blades. Also, i still play Doom 2: Hell on Earth every day, and enjoy it very much. Now if you want to go on and keep stereotyping about those bullshit CSers out there going "LOL I LOVE HL" Then go ahead. Doom 3 is a tech demo with a storyline slapped on. Half-life 2 will be the same, but atleast the storyline changes. And the gameplay. You must get along very well on more mature multiplayer games other than TechDemo 3 and Haflife. I salute you! now Go To Hell! http://members.aol.com/misteroo/bongun.swf (PS I did not say anything about how halflife 2 was going to be either good or bad, just that it was good. I also did not state a single fact about doom 3. Great job on the Idiot CS Gamer stereotype (i hate cs)) 0 Share this post Link to post
