Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Strictly speaking, I haven't given up yet. But I'm in the mines after Ravenholm, and not feeling very engaged. I think the last time I tried this, I lasted till Nova Prospekt.

    I dunno what to say, unless you're getting stuck a lot the game shouldn't be off-putting, even though it has plenty of shit sections

    uh, edit the ini or console cheat to skip to the last three chapters, you get a upgrade that lets you kill shit with the gravity gun mostly without using objects, there are also some puzzle fights and literal railroading

    bet that's probably one of the biggest things that made the game what it is today

    Half-Life 2 is such an overrated turd. Scripted scenes up the ass, loading times around every corner and scripted unskippable scenes up the ass. Shitty physics puzzles everywhere that feels really gimmicky and the actual shooting parts themselves are mediocre at best. On top of that you have the filler content like the canals and the buggy.

    Feels like playing a bloody tech demo.

    Probably Portal 3. That's making them good monies and is still at the height of its shitty meme-based popularity. Plus it's not like they've done anything particularly experimental with the tech a la ep1/2, so I can't see them holding it back for the sake of doing something crazy and experimental.

    A dietician, actually.

    Nutritionists don't necessarily have any medical expertise and tend to be complete whackos.

    Tasteless.

    A man of the enormous success and intelligence like GabeN shouldn't waste his time with these underachievers who can only come up with stupid teen pranks.

    Well, they do have lots of money. At least they spend it on interesting experimentations.
