Why would you put the shittest level in the game right at the beginning?
>>329276629
>using the airboat
>>329276629
To get over with it so the rest of the game is enjoyable
>>329276629
Am I the only one that found these parts fun? It was fun exploring the areas.
>worst level
>not that shitty ass strider defense part from the end of episode 2
>>329277889
that part was awesome
Anticitizen One is at the end of the game, Op.
>>329277889
second best part of episode two, what are you even on about.
>>329276629
fuck you m8 I love the boat part. Worst level is nova prospekt. Fight me fgts
i'll take the airboat sections over some of the forced gravity gun 'build stairs with these boxes' parts.
I liked the vehicle sections of HL2 even if they are really linear.

Hunters are annoying as fuck, bullet sponges and dodge out the way of the car. You get stuck in the Striders' legs. Missing with your Magnusson is annoying as fuck. The section at the end where a bunch of striders come at once can be quite irritating. I don't like it.
>>329278256git gud
>>329277960
Seconded, this chapter is shit.
>>329278176
Do you enjoy 'build a ramp with these cinder blocks', then?
The whole game is composed os shitty levels if you really think about it
>>329278315I did it on my first try, it's not hard just annoying and not really fun.
>>329276629
I really liked the airboat, I don't get everyone's problem with it
>>329278256You're supposed to use the gravity gun against them. Hunters are weak to physics damage.
>>329278496What do you have to throw at them? I didn't know they were weak to physics.
>>329278256
It can indeed be irritating. But it requires a more intense level of focus and thinking than any other part of the game desu. It's an unexpected step up in difficulty that frustrated many.
>>329276629
I think this part is okay honestly. I've replayed through the game last year and I didn't mind the first part.
Back when the game was released I remember that I couldn't wait to get the gravity gun, so yeah that first part felt like a bit of a tease.
But these days the gravity gun is nothing special really, however the physics-based puzzles are still pretty cool I think.It's weird to thing that barely any game does that anymore, everything is back to scripted events.

Pretty much any place you encounter Hunters in ep2 is ridden with stuff you can throw at them.
The end battle arena is full of logs, for example.
It's a real shame Valve go out of their way to make their games completely retard-proof and then overlook a lesson as simple as "you bro don't waste your bullets on these cunts"
>>329278256
>bullet sponges
>he doesn't pelt them with logs and shit
You deserve your shitty experience.

>it requires a more intense level of focus and thinking than any other part of the game
>>329278716
>>329278776
To be fair, they never really illustrate to you that they are weak to physics damage. I do feel like a bit of a retard now though.
>>329276629
I liked the airboat level, the exploration cemented the foundations of the setting for the rest of the game, it really portrays humanity on its last legs - infrastructure crumbling and rusting away, small pockets of resistance being targeted and wiped out, junk and filth piling up everywhere because there is no organized effort to clean anything (no reason to maintain a planet that you're plundering for resources). It really felt immersive.
>>329276629
Wait, what ? /v/ considers this as a shit level ? No wonder why you hate every game.
>>329279182
/v/ isn't one person
>>329279064
Alternatively stock up magnum rounds. Two shots kill if I remember rightly
Am I the only one that really like the vehicle sections?
>>329279350
Not when a certain gnome passenger is involved.
>>329279350
Highway 17 was the best level in the game.
>>329279216
This
>>329279530
This desu senpai, it's super immersive and the car is actually fun to drive.
Honestly the whole game has pretty shit level design, it's a good game but the level design is not exactly its strong point
Also the "puzzles" are the most annoying and half assed thing ever
>Theres a door that's missing a lever
>Find the lever and use it to open the door
>Alyx: "GOOD JOB GORDON HOW DID YOU FIGURE THAT OUT OMG HAVE SEX WITH ME"
Lame as fuck

HL2 is the father of moviegames, the soon it is forgotten the better.
I'm the only one who hated Ravenholm? So boring...
>>329276629
Dafuq? The airboat section was great.
Is this a new meme where we shit on hl2?
>>329281067
Moviegames aren't necessarily bad, they've just been associated with recent developers trying to cut corners by leaving out features. It's difficult to argue that Valve cut corners with HL2.
>>329281362
Some people outright quit at ravenholm, "le cut heads with le grabetty gun" gets boring real fast.
>>329281563
they missed outon getting the shotgun
>>329281362
Personally I don't find it's long enough for me to get bored unlike Water Hazard or Anticitizen One
>>329276629
you got shit taste.
>>329277772
Nope, I love them as well. Easily one of the most enjoyable and memorable parts of the entire game.
>>329276629
I honestly don't remember anyone complaining about the driving levels when the game actually came out. Is this a recent meme of some kind?
>>329281362
Did you play it at release or more recently?
At release Ravenholm was the best level in the game for me. You get the gravity gun, you play with the physics of the game. It was revolutionary at the time.
I remember when the source leaked before release and some of the levels were released. We'd spend hours just messing with the game's physics, it was amazing.
These days it's really not that impressive anymore, and it gets stale pretty fast. And yeah, Ravenholm gets boring pretty quick.
Nowadays I prefer the sequence where you can control the sand creatures with the eggs/pheromones/whatever.
>>329277772
No i loved this section. OP is a giant faggot
>>329284469
I remember I quit at this part im my first run when I've got a bug with air trolley, it was kind of normal expirience, but after two years on my second playthrough the level design literally
irritates to the death. Idk there is something fallaciously wrong with that level, maybe because night in the background lasts for 10 minutes...
>>329277772
No. I've never understood the hate for Water Hazard.
>>329276629
DUDE PUZZLES
Who the fuck does this in an FPS game, HL2 is so fucking trash.
