Where to go after HL2?
Last response: in Video Games
Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life (More info?)
I've taken my time and savoured this game like a fine wine, but now I've
reached the final scene, There's going to be a big HL2-shaped hole in my
life - at least till Alyx comes to the rescue.
It was like this when I finished HL1. There was just no other action game of
the same class. I tried Quake II but just felt indifferent to it (id games
are very over-rated).
So what other game would you recommend to take its place for a while? I've
already finished Far Cry. Any more?

Would you consider an action RPG like Vampire: the Masquerade -
Bloodlines? It's a RPG powered by Valve's Source engine. It's not
specifically a shooter, but you can opt to shoot your way through the
whole thing if you want to.
It's a really enjoyable game. It's gory and mature(sexy), with lots of
startle scares and fighting. It's fun to be a vampire. You should try it.

Have you tried Tribes Vengence? I really enjoyed that. Worth a shot.

HL2, again. I enjoyed replaying it just as much as the first time, I
was able to savour it more. I am on my third replay now.

Id games are far more multi-player oriented. Doom3 is the only one I
really felt was even partly story driven.
HL and HL2 are good stories from start to finish.

HL2 can keep me occupied for a decade
But I'm just fanboy :-)

I had a great (IMHO) idea for a HL SP campaign. Made use of Spirit to
have soldiers fighting on your side and the Loader made a critical
appearance as well as some of the models that never made it into the
game. There was a train crash, a misty moor (populated by zombies), a
stand-off in a farmhouse, a deserted mountainside village, a frantic
gunfight in a large church, sewers, a quarry, an underground
'scientific research' complex (of course - it wouldn't be HL without
that), a real working cable car, a snowy mountain hideaway, two
factions of soldiers (one of whom was on your side), duplicity and
double crossing and, of course, an open-ended finale.
Incredibly ambitious for my first substantial map. I only built a few
of the maps. I might resurrect it in Source and try to finish it, but
now the game is set in the future, rather than the present, I don't
think my ideas work as well.
But making maps is engrossing and time-consuming and makes you feel you
got your money's worth out of the game, so I recommend it if you're the
patient type.
