Thats right, but don't get me wrong though I thought that 95% of the time it was excellent, it was just some significant factors that soured the experience.
1). I understand that piracy is a big problem but the approach Valve used wouldn't be acceptable in real life, it would be like arresting everyone and forcing them to convince the authorities that they're innocent.
2). Theres that annoying sound stuttering bug that just butchers the fps from a healthy 60 - 70 right down single figures. I know that there are fixes for this bug but its just not good enough.
3). And now I come to the ending, well not the actual ending itself but the whole citadel level was tosh, it looked terrible compared with the other levels and the only weapon you could use was that gravity gun which i loved but i also liked the other weapons a lot.
4). Half-Life 2 also failed to answer any questions about the original, its got so little to do in terms of story with the original in fact, that its like a whole new game.
5). Oh and it was painfully short as well, considering how long it took to make and how many times it was delayed.
The ending itself was acceptable because of the bullet time style bit and you can see the explosion frozen in time looks wicked and the whole GMAN thing appearing out of nowhere and leaving through that white white door...weird...
