Same here - was a bit of a let down.

EP2 totally delivered however! That ending battle - I had flashbacks to the beginning of Empire Strikes Back when you pwn the striders! :D
 
For Eli! :mad:

:D Toasty!
 
Ep2 was epic in my book!:)
Never saw that ending though, couldn't believe it, especially after Eli gives you that sweet "you're like a son to me" speech lol!
Felt a bit irritated that I couldn't get my revenge after that, hopefully ep3 will let us bring the pain unto those wormy things!
And am I the only person here who can't stop listening to the end them for portal?

Erm, really feeling dumb, but am stuck! I'm in the car being chased by a helicopter through a train yard and along a train track.......then, get to an end and can't work out what to do! I had a headcrab thing drop on the car, then got to a bit with a few wandering about, but can't work out what's meant to happen now???

Yeah took me a reload or two on that bit.

You're in a U shape. So you come into the dead end on the left, you need to swing round to the right and go under the bridge again (practically back the way you came, but on the other side of the pillar). There's a broken train or something laying across it, just head down the side.
 
Is it me, or do you lot find EP2 quite a scarey game to play on your own ? lol. I havent got that far through it but ive jumped a fair few times already.

Brilliant game tho, the graphics have defo improved.
 
Possibly noclip mode?

Open console, type: sv_cheats 1, then noclip after activating sv_cheats. I've had to use noclip in HL2 before, getting stuck in the scenery.

Its about as scary as a fluffy teddy bear :confused:
 
I'm scared of Doom 3 :/ I cant finish it and i've barely started. Just got to a part where you meet the first demon thing (that looks like the Licker out of the old Resident Evil games.. maybe that's why it scares me!) that comes out of the wall. I just turned it off and installed NWN. Such a pansy.
 
Lol, im not scared to the stage where i wont play a game. I just find bits quite "edge of seat" ish. Like for example when your being chased by the guardian through the caves.

Scary was probably the wrong word to use. :)

Yeah that gave me the jumps too! it moves so fast!I was pressing that sprint key so hard it's about to go through the table... and you can sort of hear him running up behind you....

I guess you can get caught up in a game you enjoy, rather than thinking.. this is so boring, look at those rubbish textures, etc, etc.
 
I had no issues at all with the guardian, there were enough little tunnels that it couldn't penatrate to mean that it never got close to me at all.
 
Just finished Portal and Ep2, started both this morning about 10, so they are quite short

Portal took me about an hour and a half, the rest on Ep2, but wow, they were absolutley fantastic, the ending to Ep2 is a seriously good one despite it being a little sad, it sets up the next perfectly

Portal was great fun, good little brain tester but was dissapointed it didn't actually get much more difficult as you progress onwards, instead it sort of stayed the same from about 13 onwards

Seriously love Valve, they never fail to entertain

That 1 1/2 hours includes all the advanced maps and the challenges?

They are where it gets difficult, the 19 Levels + "story" aren't that taxing in comparison to some of the challenges.

Try doing L18 in 14 portals ;)

I've done 4 of the advanced portals but got a bit bored doing them again when there only a little different,

Will get them done at some point

These acheivements also, are they the same as on the 360 version, if so can you link them to your gamertag eventually like they planned to do with Vista/Xbox Live

Its the subtle changes in the maps that make them totally different to solve.

Well at least until you realise how to do some of the challenges. With some of the speed runs I've been doing this week, I've been amazed at how or even why I did the maps in full the first time round :eek:

Don't think the acheivements are linkable to Live!
