Half-Life 2 - Game of the Year?

Recommended Posts

EDIT: Only one more day to go!

 

Its only one week until the most anticipated game of 2003 and 2004 finally releases. Most of the early reviews are calling Half-Life 2 the best game ever made, and it tops Half-Life by a mile.

 

I can't wait to play it, I don't all excited over game releases but something feels different about Half-Life 2.

 

I truly believe that Half-Life 2 will live up to its hype and it will be everything that people want it to be. You would be stupid not to buy this game.

I have my copy of the Collectors Edition all pre-order and after this Wednesday it will be paided for.

 

With Half-Life 2 about to be released it makes that over hyped Doom 3 and distand memory.

Yep Yep :D

 

I've got DVD's, old Games, you name it ready to trade in for this monster title... I would pay money, but then I have to say, this wedding has made me a bit skint :wink:

 

But nevertheless I'm racking up my excitement for this game. I just hope my card can cope with what's thrown at it.... I want it now!!! :cry:

Doom 3 ended poorly and it shows, it's virtually invisible and stores are now over stocked. It's 6 years on and Half-life can still be barely kept on the shelves.

 

Half-life 2 will sell better than any other game, and will likely crush Halo 2 in sales, despite the excessive hype Halo is getting.

 

I cannot wait to start running through the streets of City 17. I can't wait to hear the G-man's voice. 7-8 more days any I'll be wearing my T-shirt and staring at my computer screen for hours on end. It'll be fun no matter what.

As Sonic pointed out elsewhere, for us Kiwi's at Gpstore, it has been pushed back to the 17th. (Even if it was released on the 16th, us kiwis would have to wait roughly until 9pm for it to be released stateside, so it could be unlocked for us :/ )

I won't get it until It comes out on PC, which is May 05 ish.

 

Wonder how they will work the 2player aspect for PC that they have on PS2?

Don't worry I'll tell you all about it when I get it next week :lol: Only joking of course. I wouldn't dare spoil it for everyone else.

 

Oh yeah, since I had $100 credit at GPStore I ordered Halo 2 tonight, I was going wait a few weeks but after seeing small feature on TV about it I had to get it.

I'll be buying an XboX with my copy of Halo 2, just because the TV ads look so good.

 

Man, It'll be hard on the pocket, but I'm sure I'll be happier in the long run.

Halo 2 is the reason I bought my XBOX :wink:

I should have Halo 2 in the day or so, however when Half Life 2 arrives next week my focus will shift to that.

Ditto :).

'Cept I'm 200mhz less, but that shouldn't matter too much.

And my PC is fully tweaked out from Doom3 & FarCry, so it should run just fine.

 

Sonic, have you seen 'Vampire: The Masquerade' ? Looks to be a good game too, HL2 engine..... :D

I in a bit of a delima which I didnt think it was possible with buying half-life 2 as Ive since Ive just bought Halo 2 and I only have enough cash for one game and my friends 19th birthday. I cant not go to my friends birthday which leaves me with what game to buy as Metroid prime 2 is coming out on the 26th (I think).

Better play some online halo 2 to help me think :D
