Half Life 2: Episode One

so yea, Valve has come out with a "sequel" to Half Life 2. apparently, tons of questions were left unanswered, so they wanted to release a series of episodes to answer them.

anybody picked this up yet? or downloaded it? it's apparently better than half life 2, but the biggest problem was that its only 6 hours long.

i might wait until the episode two comes out this winter to get this one...

You might also want to pick up Sin Episodes. Ive been hearing good things about that one since it came out.

bought it a couple of days ago

then realized that lost coast was free, so i downloaded that and started playing that before episode one.

been too tired after work to get too far though

also, have you guys seen the screens for episode two?!
go to wikipedia and search for half life 2; there should be links somewhere there

also learned that there will be no half life 3, but just these episodes...three of them...

I've had my eye on this as well. I loved HL2. I heard this was incredibly short though but still probably worth checking out for its low pricetag.

been playing it straight for the past 2 hours
at the hospital part
i imagine i have about an hour or so left

i'm really excited to see the trailer for episode 2!! but i don't want to rush through episode 1! crap!

bought it for my brother and i've only played a few minutes of it so far, but it's looking real good. especially with hdr and all

Posted by JBDreamerie on Jun-11-2006 02:05:

beat it last night around 12ish or so.

REALLY GOOD is my verdict. but like the gamespot review, it's too short. but the preview for episode two look insane...

Yeah it was really short, but worthwhile.

Can't wait for episode 2 and 3.

Would love to check this one out.

Great game. was a bit pissed when it ended all of a sudden.
Seemed a bit short.

Cant wait for Episode 2.

I loved Episode One. In my opinion i think it exceeds half life 2. Best 4 hours i spent on a video game.

Looks stunning too especially with HDR.

Posted by Bega on Jun-18-2006 20:27:

yeah, it's short. The commentary really did increase the lifespan though, I definitely feel like it was worth the money now.

I can't wait to pick this up? Do you just buy it and dl through Steam? How long does it take?

Posted by Bega on Jun-21-2006 18:26:

you can put half-life 2 on your comp (or any other source engine game) and cut off a major portion of the downloding time because then you already have the source engine files. Then it's just like a 700mb download.

i bought it at the store, just because i didn't want to go through the download, and wait a while (it took me <5 minutes to install); i also just like to have the cd
alternatively, yes, you can download it through steam; my friend downloaded it and it took him 30-40 minutes

You can pre-load the game before it actually comes out. So you could play the game earlier with preloading than if you went out and bought it.

Pretty good game but damn short. I played the game on hard so i get more for my moneys worth. The last sequence in the game gave me some headaches. BTW, i think dr. kliner is becomming more like a dr. breen but wants everybody to start well, you get the picture.

Best line in the game - "Is Dr. Kliner telling everybody to get busy?" (I think thats the right line)
