Half-Life 2: Episode One has been released.

[Wombat]

My box arrived today. Hopefully I'll play tonight or tomorrow.

I doubt it's the FOV angle....For me it's always been head bob. Turn the bobbing off, the motion sickness goes away...

[Jon P. Inghram]

I'll try changing the FOV and head-bobbing, thanks.

I had trouble in Halflife 2 on the swamp buggy level.. after that it was fine. I guess I got sea sick

.. anyways, I just finished episode 1. It was pretty decent, but 5 chapters only took me a couple of evenings to finish

[Wombat]

So I played it for about an hour last night. It's pretty tight. Story's good, and the scripting is too. The pace is nice, it's faster than HL2, and you have to think that way, too.

[Helevitia]

Yes, definitely keeps you on your toes. I think I have about an hours worth of playing left at the most. I just haven't had the time to finish it this week. Maybe tonight...

Wombat, have you played 'lowlife' yet?

[Tjalfe]

I think they had unlimited monsters in lowlife.. that was a crazy level

[Wombat]

I'm somewhere in Lowlife now. Smart use of the Alyx, and rocks, is saving me. I just passed an area with zombines (which I managed to get those tentacle things to eat), and I had to quit last night while in a parking garage with a ton of antlion pits.

Same here, plugged up two of the holes with cars but couldn't figure out what to do with the third. It was late so I called it a night after checking GameFaqs to see what I was missing.

[Helevitia]

Let me know if you need a hint, or just want to know the answer.

Oh no, I'll figure it out. I actually barely played that room, but it was the first time I died since a piece of debris got me on the elevator. It was just time to call it a night.

same approach as the other 2 holes.. just harder to get to the plug

[Helevitia]

I just finished the game. Waaaaaaay too short. I didn't realize it, but I had saved the game right before the last "scene". So I finished that up and it was done. Have you guys checked out the Episode two trailer yet? It's gonna be a long wait, but episode 2 looks even better IMHO.

[Wombat]

Yeah, that's the only thing that sucks about this is price. It's going to come out to $50-$60 for the trilogy. People say "that's just right for a game." But this isn't a game, it's an expansion pack. Should have come out to $35 tops.

[Wombat]

Wow. Apparently last night I saved and quit with only about 5 more minutes left in the game. Fun, but far too short.
