The Cleveland Show needs more love!

I don't know if I will buy it.. I want to play it but I'm not sure if I wish to spend £40 on a game I will only play for single-player and will probably last about 7 hours or less (and contradictory to what I said earlier, I wouldn't actually pirate it). Overrated or not, I've still had a lot of fun with the COD games (more so with COD1/2 though) I haven't played Black Ops yet.. it'd be nice if they chopped that down to £20... hey look, there's a pig flying in the sky...

half-life 2 > half-life 1

Hah, not on your life...

Quote from Puddy

I've been working on this one too, but I'm banging my head on the screen trying to get through the dead city, stuck at this point, with almost no ammo, 1 air filter, and like 6 of those crazy wilder beasts chasing me down.

It's very unforgiving if you take a wrong step, don't scavenge/buy enough ammo or similar.

One of the many weaknesses I mentioned earlier. I can imagine that the overall game experience varies very much overall depending on what hand the game deals you.

I honestly don't understand this argument with the game, loads of people have this issue.. but I've played it through twice now and both times I had no problems with having enough/ammo/money or filters. You need to take your time and explore everywhere, there are often things hidden in the most unlikely places.. and there are lots of hidden gold bullets scattered around the non-combat stations...

What were your other issues with the game out of interest?

This is out?! I've seen next to no advertising on it.. o_O I still need to play the first one.. heh.

So 15 years and it's shit... lawlsauce.

Yeah in the US they call them Volumes, why they can't do that here is beyond me.. or just fucking well put them season by season not Half of Season 8 and half of season 9 and then call it Season 10... twats!

Oh man how did I miss that trailer?!

This image is priceless;

Got a nice big double-sided Battlefield 3 poster free with PCG, how jealous are you all?

Quote from Karram

I still think that U2 will be the peak of the franchise. The game looks pretty good.

You meant 3 or... you're saying this has nothing on 2?

Anyway... can't fucking wait

I once went airsofting and I called the M4 Magazine a clip... the instructor looked at me like I'd just fucked his wife...

Woah... that was pretty cool.. for a single mission though it's very very short, I hope that's not the only bit set in New York else it would be a bit disappointing.

Is that tunnel supposed to be a flooded vehicle tunnel or part of the subway? I can't work out which it is... also why is the tunnel pannelling constructed like the Russian metro tunnels?

I have no idea how to do that and I have no interest in learning how to either. People are more than welcome to do it themselves however!

Hah that's funny, a friend of a friend is Belarusian, though she's lived in London for many years now.

Does she speak Russian or Belarusian? It's funny how only about 15% of the country speak the latter language...

I just read through all this, most excellent. It does sadden me you've not managed to get an industry job D3 because there're no end of opportunities you could probably take advantage of and people who'd help you out. You've clearly always had great talent and determination to be the best within your limitations — unfortunately you've chosen to stick to limitations that're very outdated. I suspect if you were to seriously tackle stretching modern engines to the same limits you push HL1 to you'd be a master of your craft.

I hope eventually your circumstances and mindset hits a point where you are able to get an industry job because I hate to see such passion kind of go to waste.

I guess I've just got comfortable where I am with HL... I know it inside-out.. pretty much all the tricks, how to get around limitations etc.. it's easy as pie to put stuff together, doesn't take that much effort (well for me.. some of you guys who have been spoilt with new tech will be lost).

I plan to look into Cryengine 2 when I've got a new machine anyhow and I'm making random "new gen" textures to keep me up-to-date so to speak.. so I'm not *that* far behind...

As for an industry job, it just depends where it is and what's being done, I think I'd find it very hard to be motivated if I was working on some generic Halo type game.. or Ultra-Real-Desert-Combat-Warfare-9... Perhaps I'd just slip into it ok.. I look at how my motivation is when I'm working on my stuff and it's not great but a lot of that has to do with having to do other things in life... if I got a job in game-design, It would pretty much over for modding.

but yeah, I'll work something out

and thanks HP, really appreciate that

Would anyone be interested in me releasing some of this stuff? I mean some of the older stuff was lost in a HD crash.. but most of it is backed up, some of it actually playable abeit buggy...
