My my TiE, please, there are ladies around.

 

Well, no there aren't, but no need to go off like a sailor :p

 

I just doubt it'll be that good of a game. Ergo, I won't buy it until it's cheap. Or if there's really no other games coming out for a long period of time (Xmas time, though? Please!).

calm down tie... everyone expects it to be a good game, they are just wary of getting caught up too much in the hype....

 

i can't see how it will ever live up to the idea you have built up of it so, ironically, the rest of them will probably end up enjoying it more than you...:D

 

As for PC Gamer UK, they are notorious (at least with me:D ) for giving vastly inflated scores to their "world exclusive" cover reviews... I figure that is why they get so amny of them, cos the studios know that they will give the game a great review whatever.

 

I seem to remember they gave JO about 95% and even force commander about 85%. (The FC one was funny as you could tell that they knew it was mostly rubbish, but were desperately trying to find good things to say about it. )

 

Before you get upset, i'm not saying it won't be great, just that i wouldn't base that opinion of early review scores (especialy PCGUK).

Then I have the perfect game for you!!

Sorry, lemme rephrase: Every single great Mass-public-awaited blockbuster game is overrated

 

 

Metal Arms rules.

 

And there is a big difference between overrated and sucky, overrated means that people say it's the best game EVAH/its perect when it really isn't, and it has flaws, sucky means....it sucks. I've never said HL2 is gonna suck, I never said Halo, HL, GE sucked, I just said they were overrated. They ARE great games, people just say they're perfect too much and overlook some glaring mistakes, example: Halo's indoor levels repetitiveness, I mean who the **** designs a building with only 3 different rooms and just repeats them over and over, and over again. I mean even the enemy placement is the same.

Which one looks the best prettiest?

What, are the demons much more fun to kill? Are the big fat terrorists in FC cooler?

 

Cool urban setting, 98%, almost looks like a ****ing Pixar movie! (don't forget the manipulator thing ;))

vs.

Lots of shadows, ugly baddies, 87%, looks like a bad horror movie.

vs.

on Gilligan's Island, lots of retarded baddies, looks like Gilligan's Island with guns and weird animals

:eek: My god! What did you do to the Doom 3 and Far Cry screenshots!!!!:eek: :eek:

 

 

As for Half Life 2 I think it'll be a pretty fun game on a dated engine (would've been better suited for two years ago). Definitely not the second coming (expect of Half Life obviously ;) ) but I think it'll be pretty fun. Depending on peoples reactions I may buy the game soon after release or just try the demo to see if I want to get it. (Probably buy it soon after release)
