SPOILERS PLZ

There is no extra 'mission'. There is only a demo that shows HDR off, known as Lost Coast.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So how many hours did you guys need?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Recommended to download you say? Ok. =p

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I downloaded SiN and the game works fine. I'll just check for Half-Life: Episode 1 when I finished SiN and see if it's downloadable by illegal means.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just ~~downloaded~~ bought the game. ~~Unpacking~~ Decrypting as we speak.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Just played till chapter 4, and so far the game is amazing. A few points that were really nice:

Spoiler:

* The beginning, where Dog throws you into the citadel.
* Protecting yourself and Alyx when the elevator goes down, using the energy balls.
* Reinverting the core reminded me of the end of the original Half-Life 2. Not bad.
* At the end of the trainstation-level, when you get overwelmed by zombies.

FELIPE NO

Because you didn't play it?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I just finished the game, and I love it. It's so much better than the original Half-Life 2. I can't wait for the second episode, since the trailer showed forests and... more ;p

Jam it back in, in the dark.

We basically got one new enemy and a half, no new weapons, and the game was very short. And frankly, Zombine come off to me as throwaway enemies from Half Life 2.

I do like some of the "puzzles". For example, when I clogged an antlion hole with a car, I was proud of my brain. I was also proud of myself when I shot the planks off of a window so that Alyx could properly sniper oncoming zombies. I liked that some early fights required you to use the gravity gun since you are otherwise unarmed. I was somewhat excited during the final strider battle; I liked having to fight a strider up close as it did everything it could to take me down.

Besides that, I thought the game was simply "okay".

I don't see why the episodes could not be longer considering they were built on everything that was already there and reused the same textures, locations, weapons, and NPCs.

Also, since my copy is pirated; I was wondering if there was anything after the part where the explosion/flash reached Alyx and Gordon? The game cut off for me after that.

So you say that they should have includes tons of new weapons and enemies, even though Gordon Freeman never left City 17? He couldn't find them in the original Half-life 2, but now he does? It makes sense that it's like this.

How about you mention HDR?
