"did anyone else think that having to start 0ff with no weapons in each game was annoying? "
Well... I love the gravity gun... so no. But in Episode 2 you'll find an adequate amount of weapons fairly quickly if I'm not mistaken. Come to think of it... I wouldn't mind starting the game with the smg...

I believe you start out with the grav gun again, and then you do find a pistol a bit later. Thats as far as I got though lol.
Oh, Thrawn. You and I ought to have a long conversation about Half-Life 2: Episode 2. I just finished it myself, so I'm curious as to your impressions.
And, in my opinion, it's on par with Half-Life 2. For the record, I didn't care much for Episode 1.

Well I finished it like 20 times but I stopped playing it like a month ago so it's a bit hazy. (If you all didn't notice, the Half-Life series is my favorite). I thought you got like, the pistol, magnum, and shotgun within a short amount of time.

well my impressions don't count for much, because i'm about 10 minutes into it. but yeah, episode 1 felt like too much of a chore. "hey, remember that thing you blew up? well now ya gotta go fix it! wait, oh no, it blew up again...." wtf? i did enjoy the npc interactions though.

I actually haven't finished Half-Life 2 yet, and went on to Episode I since I wanted to use the upgraded grav gun.

??? Half-Life 2 was my favorite by far. Maybe this is simply the nostalgia speaking, but that game just destroys every other game I've played since. I go back to it at least once a month. You should definitely finish it.

Haha. Lame. It's an epic, epic moment when you get your hands on it in Half-Life 2. Thrawn said:

The first hour or two of Episode 1 really plodded along. It felt clunky and I didn't really care to play Doom 3, but that's what I got.
In any case, I really hope you like Episode 2. It's incredible. Plus, Adam Baldwin provides voicework, which is extra win.

Hahahahah the game is only like 4 hours long. I really thought that Episode 1 was a bit of a disappointment. There were some epic moments in it but I just didn't get the same feeling out of it. They made you stay with Alyx so that you would be able to build a relationship with her, but they really accomplished it with Episode 2 instead.
Yeah, I felt much more attached to Alyx during Episode 2 than I did in Episode 1. I guess I really felt like she wasn't such a Lara Croft, you know? Not such an impervious femme fatale. She was as fragile as a human can be.
