What do you felt when you played Half Life 2 for the first time?

...Disappointed to say the most.
After all the good things I've heard about the game, I guess my expectations were too high...
BUT. When I reached the end of the game, I thought it was really great. A few weeks later I played a second time through the story... I now know that I LOVE the game.

"How much longer is this fucking boat section?"

Never played it. :(

"I'mma throw this piece of trash on that guard then pretend nothing happened."

"Oh God, not Ravenholm!" and "Ugh, more manhacks!"
But all in all, a good game.

Nothing, I haven't played it yet...

that game is everything
viva la freeman

I always observed how Havok physics works. And Ravenholm...

"Why do I have to install this Steam spyware thing to play the game???"

I just hated every part with barnacles. They're disgusting as hell especially when I get caught by one.

ive never gotten a chance to play any of the half life games, so i ahve no idea how any of them are, and i dont have the money to afford them

HL2 EP1 EP2 is one of the best games I played, many years have passed and I still have faith that one day will come out the HL2 EP3, I think that we just need to know this game end of this great game

I replayed it and got 100% achievements on it too just because it's an awesome game and gives that awesome nostalgia feeling.

I remember the first time I saw HL2 in a magazine... and a trailer thing... it showed that water tentacle thingy in the prison that never got into the final game, also the graphics were so :O at that time, I didn't even have a PC back then, when HL2 came out I only just got my first PC that could just run HL1, and I did play that by the way, awesome experience too... and fk flickering lights, those eat up FPS like hell =)

"Jesus fucking christ, fine, I'll play the damn game"
"Well, it definitely was nice for its time, but that time was quite awhile ago... I am starting to think people's nostalgia exaggerated how amazing this game is if they think it still upholds to today's standards"
been in boat for awhile "I think I will play something else"

This game is good! But not that good as people label it and I hate this Gravity Gun!

Something like that.

"I need a new PC."

Well if you already feel like that, in this time... can you imagine how it would have felt 10 years ago? Exactly :p

I'm playing through the Half Life series myself now. Half Life 1 is really good for a game made a decade and a half ago. It's really neat how what I've played so far seems like one long level, I haven't seen anything else like it.

I enjoyed it for the most part, though wasn't enjoying the XBox vehicle controls.

My PC of the time had to run Half-Life in 320 * 200, so no playing Half-Life 2 on that thing. I used the PS2 version of the first game a lot more.

It was a gaming orgasm for me.

Still is.

"Great game, I liked it... But still, for me HL1 was better"

I REALLY enjoyed HL, I really enjoyed HL2, I enjoyed HL2:e1 and I'm still currently playing HL2:e2, I've enjoyed it so far.

The story is pretty good, though not the greatest story of any game I've played by far. The game play compliments the story very well though, which is something that a lot of games over the past 15 or so years really lack.

Valve has done a good job of bringing the different elements that make up a game together very well, what they really lack is good scheduling... >_< Where the hell is HL3 dammit!?!? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Underwhelmed. Probably because I just bought it last year. Played for a bit and removed it.

I am a total HL freak. I played HL1 twice, HL2 4 times and both episodes 3 times. I completely love this game.
