On the "You had to be there" front, I probably would have found the gravity gun more innovative if I hadn't played Darkness II prior. I mean, I understand that the latter was no doubt influenced by the former but that doesn't make throwing saw blades and paint cans around any more "new" after you just stapled a bunch of dudes with thrown rebar and cut them in half with flung car doors.

God, what a fun game. WHY DID YOU HAVE GLITCH DARKNESS 2? WHYYYYY?

 
Didn't think I'd get tired of dismembering baddies so quickly but Darkness II achieved that. Probably because it was so graphic yet repetitive.

The boating stuff was tedious in HL2 but what about the sandlion beach areas where you had to make debris bridges to stay off the sand? That got old after the fifth time. Still love the game for what it was tho.

I'll be giving away at least 5 copies of Corpse Party whenever it releases on Steam, buying with my own Steam wallet ;)

I can promise you that. Too bad you didn't like Half-Life 2!!!!!

It'll be more of a contest (I ask a question and if you're one of the first 5 to get it right you get the game), I'm not giving them away to just anyone that asks. Maybe I'll give you a heads up for when I'll post it though.

Nah, I'm not even all that interested in Corpse Party, I was just messing around. Thanks, though.
 
Good news, everybody! Akiba's Trip: Undead and Undressed is coming to Steam.

Now you, too, can spend your days assaulting and forcibly stripping nerdy Japanese virtual vampires.

(Oh, and I guess Ys VI was announced, too, but whatever.)

Half Life 2.

Valve does a great job making a game feel right. The movement in HL2 works really well and the shooting mechanics are all solid.

They are also very good at establishing the world: you can see stuff just beyond the playing area, the soft loading mechanism that minimizes the break in action, and adding NPC interactivity at key spots to give you the sense of a living world.

Now, you have to realize that HL2 is a game that pushed the genre forward tremendously. Before HL2, worlds were just a series of loosely related maps, connected by predictable doors. NPCs were minimal and served mostly as set dressing. Play a FPS game before 2004 and then notice how much they changed afterwards. You HAVE to appreciate that.

As far as the game holding up, well I think it does. It still looks attractive. It isn't as detailed as a newly released game, but the style and artwork stand the test of time. It plays well. And most importantly, it tells a good story. YES it gets bogged down at the watercraft portion of the game, but if you push through that you're going to have a blast. There are some truly great set-pieces to be experienced. The follow up Episodes round out the story nicely.

There aren't many FPS games that pushed the genre forward as Valve did with HL2, and there certainly aren't as many that hold up as well. It's still an extremely competent shooter, and it deserves respect for what it did and what it is.

If you're completely new to Steam and don't have the majority of these games like the rest of us, this is a pretty good bundle:

SEGA Super Bundle - $80

There's 96 games in there (no DLC though). I'm only missing 20 of those games so $4/an item... and even that's still tempting.

Also, if you're looking for a laugh (that isn't the Comedy Weekly)

Yes, sometimes it's forgivable to go A2M.

You're not the boss of me :nottalking:

Nah, I appreciate it. It just doesn't make me want to play it now. But I'm two-for-two on getting a conversation going by disliking popular games so you all come back tomorrow when I give you my thoughts on Mass Effect.
