My only gripe with this review is actually highlighted by this line about halfway through:
"Either, sir, you're an ass or masquerading as one." |

360 TF2's not worth even that kind of offhanded mention.

Wait a minute. I know whose review this is!

Since I can't get a straight answer out of you people, I suppose I'll just have to ask EmP.

That said, Half Life 2 is nothing special, either. It's sub-par shooting with the odd noteworthy set peice set in a world where no one does anything but talk for bloody days.

^ Agreed. Super fail

This HL2 bashing is coming from someone who likes Halo and Quake 3 so this really doesn't mean too much to me. :)

To be fair, I'm only an hour or so in. It's just been a crazy painful hour thus far and I have little drive to play further. But I probably will. Someday

You might want to finish the game lest you have about as much authority on Half-Life 2 as I have on X-COM.

Maybe, but you don't see me running off to rate the game after only an hour of play or waffeling about it in a review intro. Because that, you see, would be petty and of poor creditability. I'm all about being creditable.

i think you're missing out if you don't keep playing, is all. i'm getting past the point of giving a fuck what other people think of games i like.
Oh no, it's a Goomba! |

I plan to play on. And I know I'll need to do it soon before it becomes another DMC/HL1. Though, come on, that second tram section in HL1 is bloody awful.

Hahaha. Well since the whole point of me giving that rating was to get under your skin, I'm glad to see it's working.

I'm fine with you rating it whatever you like. It's not me who's admitting to lowballing games to unsucessfully annoy people. It's simply me feeling smug for winning an internet forum arguement.

I will make biased and unprovoked attacks on X-COM for as long as you act this hilariously defensive about it, EmP.

And I'll continue to try and lever in the last word. Because it is very important.

I think this is the most mature I've ever seen you two act. I'm so proud.
