Anna (now “Alyx” as a model, but… still Anna) says that you’re in great trouble and not to trust your friends at the FBI, then she’s shot by a sniper, and then you don’t have the time to cry, you have to run to your… jeep (the Jalopy) and you are shot at and chased by cops and some SWAT guys, and then some unknown guy lead you to sewers.
In the Gate 1 ending, Anna was with an MP guy, here she’s alone and she came with some such of high-tech copter. Well, first of all, The Gate 2 resumes where The Gate 1 ended.
I will try to resume my adventure, because, truly, that’s beyond words : In this post, I resume the whole adventure, because seriously it’s beyond words, it’s in spoilers because I don’t want to break you the “pleasure” and the “surprise” of this, but this is a place-holder post for those who’ll want to confront their position on the story, or who want some therapy…
HALF LIFE 2 LETS PLAY FULL
In 5 words : unofficial adaptation of HL Full Life Consequences…
HALF LIFE 2 LETS PLAY MOD
In the end, it was fun to play this mod : various environments, enemies, fights, “that” story was so much dumb I was laughing so hard throughout it, but there are too many flows which forbid it to get a PF, even a PIN… And what about all that bad taste here and there? Poops, farts, naked corpses… I mean, that was funny early in the mod, but then after a thousand times it’s just disgusting :/ I mean, I’ve experienced here even worse than the “Patience” level of HQ Amen : the prison was 3X5 minutes of NOTHING. Shortly, he focused too much attention on the details (textures, models, story/stories/side-stories), and you forgot too much the basics (gameplay…). In fact, the main problem I can say is that, first of all, the dev’ didn’t listen to the critics for his first mod : the fights are the same, the story is just a complete delirium…
HALF LIFE 2 LETS PLAY MOVIE
The story is just a massive pile of crap, it’s so bad that I thought to take alcohol and drugs just to try to understand a little more what was that : So many questions, such as ow Anna came back to your time, first of all? Why the General with the glasses worked with Orbital Earth, and then he’s a bad guy working at Area 51? Who was the New World Order (was Orbital Earth with them?)? Why do we see the SWAT-like guys working with New World Order and Orbital Earth, without anyone noticing? Are the aliens good guys or bad guys? Why are they dissected on Area 51 AND worshipped at the same time by the Illuminati, leading the pits? ) that and also the fact, there are so many times you do things without PURPOSE : I have to take pictures, to bring back a movie camera from a wreckage : for WHAT? We don’t know what’s with the bodies!!! what’s with the camera!! We do things without knowing ANYTHING!!Īnd then, after hours and hours of random massive stuff-nobody-cares-about, the ending comes, and in the contrary of the first one (which was so fun!!! Killing THAT bad guy and sinking THAT ship, and then the cliffhanger), is a great disappointment ? too rushed, and without any “boss” or “bad guy” to fight/kill in the end, it’s just coming after all of THAT before? No way…Īlso, the fights, 8 years later, are the same as the first one : enemies have the eagle eye and can shoot you without missing everytime, they can endure direct grenade/rockets shots (but you and your comrades, no!!), and the medkits are so rare… Basically, you suffer from the “unfairness” of the difficulty… Also, in the “last” part where 30% of the map’s are (yes, 20 maps), you endure redundant fights, but at least you’re helped with some guys. The problem is, with such big mod’s led by a “one-man-army”, is their flaws, in fact it’s like GString by Myo-Hyo : you have a great universe, great map’s, but a crap story and a gameplay sometimes very horrible. You animated and lipsync all the characters, that must have taken you some time… I won’t give the mod a bad review because the developer has really worked hard to give us that. Okay, WOW, I don’t know what to say at this point. Also, the first and only GoldSrc/HL1 mod which has a sequel on Source/HL2 (was it a good idea?). With 14 gb uncompressed, biggest HL2 mod yet (twice the size of Black Mesa Source).
