This is why HL2 is the game of the year [large pix]
 

Sorry for the large pics, but I didn't want any details to get lost... the bump mapping, texture and lightning effects are just overwhelming.

That light and those shadows don't match up....

however, I do agree... it looks amazing.

Well, yes, the graphics are good, and lots of other things are simply great (it's how games SHOULD be), but fucking hell I can't play it for more than an hour without feeling physically SICK :(

I mean, it gives me a headache and turns my stomach. I think it's the fov or motion or something. Damnit.

Old games rocks!

I don't have fun with most of the new games.

looks awesome

Radeon x800 - not even on max detail:

thats pretty amazing

Why did you put that black main in that restraining device? Are you racist?

:feels-hot :feels-hot :feels-hot

I still like the old ping pong game the most on the normal TV with some old box...

Negro acted up and didn't want to give away the plans for the constuction of a teleporter, so I locked the bitch up

Wow think i'm going to have to get off my ass and go get this...

Halo's got nothing on Half-Life 2, rawk on!

Guys, I play this at 1280x720 on my 42" LCD Grand Wega III


I have an X800 XT PE card ( the best you can buy, $700 bux ) with absolutely everything turned on.


Motion sickness is a problem!


I should take some pics...

amazing

i need to upgrade my pc first to play this though...:thumbsup

it is a fucking awesome game.. I usually play for about an hour a day or so. So I still haven't beat it yet.

Seems like lots of people are complaining about the motion sickness.

I got into the game last night for the first time. Spent a few hours playing and noticed I had to stop every 15 minutes or so because I was feeling dizzy.

All I play are FPS games and this is the first time this has happened to me.

I'm playing it on a box that's over 2 years old.

It's not perfect, but the game still rocks.

very nice

Just got the new Prince of Persia, not too shabby either.
God I love my modded XBox, all games for the price of a dollar. And then there's my MM projector to play games on, the fun.

You GOTTA post pics of the inside of the Citadel... THAT is the reason why this game is game of the year.. The amount of detail inside that place is unreal, I mean all my wildest fantasies about being able to be inside a borg cube or in those big energy generation plants/human storage areas in the matrix came true when I did that level(on top of my being the most powerful Jedi fantasy)..

No wonder that game took 5 years to make.. I mean the graphics aren't as good as Doom3, but the rest of the game is on par if not more impressive.. Unbelievable how much game content there is, my only complaint is that it was way too easy to finish.. way way way too easy.. I mean I did that whole Ocean Road part of the game on foot because getting to the gate where you need your car..
They needed like a nightmare setting after you finish it where it becomes 10 times as hard because it was just way way way too easy..

The default difficulty setting was the easiest of settings. There are a few you can change to...making it more difficult.

I think doom was better... this was way overhyped. I hope it crashes and burns so they can spend another 200 years making HL3.

thats dodgy, the game has amazing graphics - plots pretty awesome too

Yep game is totally fucking awesome!!!

I finished it last night, and it totally blew me away! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

It puts Halo 2 to shame, it's not even in the same league.

DH

hell yeah... the citadel was fuckin incredible!
