Title: Half-Life: Source Post by: schild on November 16, 2004, 02:19:03 PM I was going to review the two together (1 and 2) seeing as the original was redone in the source engine. What a motherfucking lie! It looks as bad if not worse than the original. It doesn't have the feel of HL2. It's just fucking meh. Steam deserves a facepounding for passing this off as incentive in purchasing the game. Goddamnit.
And I was excited. I sure hope they spent less than 2 man hours on the whole project. Title: Half-Life: Source Post by: Ironwood on November 16, 2004, 02:44:57 PM Stop vaccilating. Say what you mean.
Title: Half-Life: Source Post by: Rodent on November 16, 2004, 03:01:54 PM I was damn excited over HL:S aswell. Damn.
I thought the real incentive to buy it over steam was DoD:S though, as that was the only thing not offered to users who went with a hardcopy. Title: Half-Life: Source Post by: Resvrgam on November 16, 2004, 05:49:25 PM I finally managed to get the game running (after 3 hours...these are MMOG timeframes for a bloody Single-Player game!) and played through a bit of HL:S...and was disturbed at how bad Valve's "Source" engine can look.
Why didn't they just recycle some of the meshes/materials from HL2? The cast is easy enough to replicate so I'm chalking that one up to: "Maybe the customers are too dumb to notice?" :( Anyone interested in MODding this engine to remake Half-Life: Source the way it was supposed (see: expected) to look? My texturing/phonemic animation skills are actually quite good for an amateur not "good enough" to get into this industry. I sure hope someone picks up after Valve :( Title: Half-Life: Source Post by: Viin on November 17, 2004, 08:06:17 AM What the hell took you 3 hours to run the game? If you had to download all 2-3gigs then yah you probably had to wait awhile.. if you were smart you would have preordered it and downloaded it weeks ago.
I haven't played the original HL with Source, but CounterStrike looks pretty good. I'm hoping DoD:Source is spiffied up like CS was. Title: Half-Life: Source Post by: schild on November 17, 2004, 08:11:33 AM HL:Source looks JUST like HL. On that note, it takes 30 minutes for the game to boot up the first time. Don't ask me why. It's a touchy subject with me. I get very emotional.

Title: Half-Life: Source Post by: Aslan on November 17, 2004, 09:11:16 AM It took me fucking THREE hours from the time I started installing the game til I was actually able to play it. Steam can suck it.

Title: Half-Life: Source Post by: penfold on November 17, 2004, 12:36:26 PM The first time Steam ran, after install, it crashed and took down windows. Rebooting saw the entire partition Steam/HL2 was on corrupted to the point ive had to delete it. Whether or not it was a coincidence i dont know, but ive lost quite a things (10gig), some of which i hadnt backed up yet.
Im still to repartition/format and try to install HL2 again, im a bit weary of it now. |
