NOT every part of the game.
so to say HL2 is boring is just dumb.



its also not an adrenalin rush from start to finish so your poll sucks.

HL2 is quite varied at places but maybe you prefere more action then HL2 can deliver or maybe its the gfx, dunno... Did you like Doom 3 better?

i found Doom3 a little better ,if played alone late at night when i wasn't paying attention the game could make me jump, but on the whole it was a little boring ... not as tedious as HL2 though for me ..i prefer the COD games ,the Kursk battle in the 2nd one was just one of my favourite gaming moments

I think its combined with boring parts & slight adrenaline rush parts, but overall I find it quite fun. Very Happy

The thing that made hl2 boring for me is that it had repetitive game play in various environments. There were some moments of silence here and there where no gun shot was heard and no trigger was pulled. And those were great.

But even though the game is great and the graphics are above average it is still boring. You don't have a wide array of weaponry. First 4 hours into the game and you have all possible weapons that you may carry.

Repetitiveness reeks in this game. I mean what the fuck? You see an area and you'll know what will happen. You see a turret, second you touch the 'trigger' you will have to use that turret. No matter what. Going in with a pistol in hand will just get you killed. YOU MUST USE THE TURRET!

You see a stack of rocket launchers, you will have to use them. Everything on a level has been placed specifically for you to beat the game. There are no obstacles or any no road blocks for that matter. NOTHING! Fuck even if you were retarded (no offense to those who are) you could beat this game. Unlike Riddick, doom3, cod, cod expansion fuck even painkiller requires some thought.

Repetitive may suck to all of you. (main reason why all of you hated doom 3) But a game needs to be challenging to have some sort of fucking replay value. Half life 2 is easy!
“oh then don’t play on an easy mode” – all of you will say!

I played the game from easy to hard; there be no smarter soldiers, no greater difficulty. Your weapon power is just lowered as well as your shield. The weapon strength and the accuracy of the enemy might have been improved as the skill setting tab was moved up. But that’s it! First time around this game is the best. Second time around it doesn’t hold it’s spot to the games like halo, doom 3, rainbow six series, and fuck even painkiller.

Graphics and game play make the game. And when game play lacks the certain je ne sais quois all you are left with is a one hit wonder. It’s like watching matrix reloaded + revolutions. First time you are marveled at all the eye candy, the sound effects, and the battle scenes. Fuck even the directing might give you a fucking woody. But watch it the second time… ho ho ho it’s like watching Ben Affleck performing Shakespeare.


We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

I really liked HL2, but I just couldn't finish it for the second time, it was just to boring and repetitive. I have to agree with Injurious, all the games he mentioned gave me much more fun while playing them for the 2nd time (sometimes even third) than HL2.

I disagree. HL2 has some fantastic logic puzzles requiring use of the physics, which i've never seen in any other game.

Still, it was totally boroing the second time through, I only got as far as the sewers, then couldn't be bothered to play any more. The main problem is that the AI is mostly scripted.

Halo 2 on the other hand, i'm playing through again on the hardest difficulty. It's fantastic, feels like a whole new game. You really notice how fantastic the AI is at this difficulty, either because it's imroved at higher difficulty levels, or because you have to use different tactics to defeat the enemies. A single commando elite is a huge pain in the ass. I was dueling with one for about 15 minutes, until I finally managed to lure him down this tunnel where he had no cover, flank him and then unload all the ammo in my duel needlers into his back.

to me the game is a show off for the engin , instead of focusing on action, i mean it did have alot of it, but it was slow since you wanted to slow down and check out the engine, and if you DO go like any other FPS then you are done in an hour of playing

My bro keeps playing it voer and over, like he did with HL-1. The key is not to play the game from start to finish, but play those interesting random parts of the game. I started playing it over in hard mode tho, and the game is still good. Ishould replay doom3 also..


fear the led zeppelin that was!

In my opinion Half Life 2 is boring. The levels are kinda repetitive. Drive, kill some enemies, stop, solve the puzzle, drive again, kill the enemies, stop solve the puzzle, drive etc.etc.. I didn't finish the game yet I'm at the NovaProspect (spelling?) level and so far i think it was boring. Thats just my opinion. Maybe it'll get better.

BEST game ive every played!
Cant believe all the negative reviews!
The mixing in with driving, walking, etc is nice! the scenes are gorgeous! it takes place outside most of the time (unlike doom3 where I couldnt see a damn thing!)...excellent job!
controlling the ants was a superb touch! setting up torrents, playing catch with your pet dog, the list goes on and on!
