No no no. Storyline was of half the game, great animations and characters but they changed/deleted/add some so much shit it totally ruined the game. Suhc as the harbor ship that u go on tey took out, the OICW weapon they took out, they changed a lot ofs tuff at Nova Prospekt, and totally changed Ravenholm. And i mean really, the screenshot inside the HL2 box flaps was a screenshots that wasnt even in the game! I am very dissapointed :(

You should judge the game for what it is, not what you've seen in various magazines/fan-sites. That's why I totally stayed clear of all HL2 media, I went into the game with no expectations and totally loved it.

Looks like you played it with all that media in your head.

I'm with Blink on this one. Don't look at any screenshots before a game is released. It makes the experience better and you can't be dissapointed. I do this with everygame. One of the reasons why Half Life was so good was because it was just a game I picked up to try out. I didn't even know what it was about at the time.

I got roped into watching the bink videos in the countdown months, I prefered the experience. As a die hard Half Life fan it was a faintly religious experience for me re-enacting the moments from the videos.

Great now I sound insane. :lol:

I've got Comcast and I'm pretty happy with them. The connection is always fast (90% of the time).

I saw a few videos for Half-Life 2 before it was released but it didn't ruin anything for me.
