This thread is in exactly the right place. General games discussion should take place here.

Half Life 2 was okay but at points too hard or too easy and sometimes a little dull. I had expected more from the graphics, they dissapointed at times and generally lagged behind those in Doom3. The details where missing. The gameplay is great generally. I did not like some of the monsters though. They did not react right. The bugs (the creatures not the crashes) where the biggest dissapointment. When I saw them I immidiatly thought "starship troopers" and how the beast could be shot up but in the game themselves it worked totally different. I was dissapointed that there was no animation for bullets entering their bodies and that they did not plow on even though they had lost a limb (they could not even lose a limb). The same holds true for the rest of the creatures and other enemies but to a lesser degree.

Still a very good game.
