12/3 Sid Meier's Pirates r0x3s HL2's b0x0rz. Also, HL1 > HL2 (not
technically, of course, but as a game - HL1 was just more memorable and
satisfying back then than HL2 today). In this respect, The Sims 2 >
HL2 as well.
\_ is Pirates challenging at all? I tried it at a demo station
somewhere and was easily capturing ships left and right. That's what
I remember of the original too. And HL2 multiplayer is pretty fun
(CS:S and HL2DM).
\_ In Apprentice mode, everything is meant to be easy. Two
difficulty levels up (Adventurer) isn't bad. You also get
20% of the total lewt as opposed to 5% when dividing plunder.
(Periodically your crew will become restless and you'll need
to start over with one selected ship + ~ 1 year.)
Dancing is the toughest part of this game, but it is rewarding.
\_ Sorry, you're simply wrong on this. HL2 is amazing. You've just
played HL1 more.
\_ The new Pirates and The Sims 2 are/were just MORE FUN for me than
HL2, which is all I'm really saying. With respect to technical
HL2, which is all I'm really saying. HL1 back in the day was more
fun than HL2 today, for me. With respect to technical
achievements, HL2 wins hands-down. I guess "HL1 > HL2" is kind
of trollish. -op
\_ That's because u = teh gey suk! Ehh.. nevermind. It
could also be that you're just getting tired of first
person shooters. I got pretty tired of them back with
Doom 2. I only rarely see one that I like. (AvP
was awesome.) |
