That's why, the game will leave most of you wanting more like an addict. If Half-Life 2 left any player with a bitter taste it was because it finished in a way it was not supposed to. The entire script was designed to develop in four separate games. Half-Life 2 had a more serious plot and a lot more substance but it didn't fulfill the need of the player for the story and now we know why.
I'm sure it wasn't there intention but it worked so good that the situation continued in the next two games. The player had the ultimate liberty in substituting his dialogs. The story was so corny and it lacked a reality check, but it did a great job because the main character didn't have even one line. If we were to analyze it we could easily discover that it didn't even qualify for B rated movie. The first part didn't have what you might call a first grade script. I can't really decide if I hate the game for what it's standing for or if I love it for what it is an almost flawless game. I often thought, since I finished this really short game, if it's worth it to pay for three short games as they were one large one. Surely they're not the first ones to try but I have to say that I enjoyed Half-Life 2 Episode One even if I am completely against the idea of ripping people off with the argument that is in the "interest of the gamer".īut enough with the personal feelings, we should talk about what I believe to be the best part of the Half-Life games so far. Now Valve is trying to impose a new trend with its highly refined episodic content. Seven years ago, a character with no voice that is defining the story while playing was a new thing for the game world.
In the original Half-Life the producers took a new approach for an FPS at that time. Half-Life 2 was a great game and even if some gamers accused Valve for not providing a better title than the one released in 1999, it screamed for some closure to the main story. When you're making one of the most successful games of all times, people will have really great expectations from a sequel.
