Well, this is absolutely fucked up. The Xbox 360 has been fucking everyone over. Why? Lets see..
- Xbox Live was offline from yesterday (5PM EST till 7AM EST) Some people said it was an earthquake fucking over fiber optic lines underground. And some people said that it was an overload of xbox live players online, all at once. In my opinion, bullshit.
- Xbox 360 has been known to spread faulty hardware, causing the "3 Red Lights of Doom" This has happened to me twice (with 2 different systems, each were sent to microsoft for repair, and about 2 weeks after, I still have not recieved them, I have called them about an estimated ammount of 43 times. And they keep on saying "It should be there tomorow") Total fucking bullshit. I want to know what the fuck are my consoles going through.
- Millions of people are recieving these problems as well. And personaly, I think it is fucking hilarious that Microsoft has pulled this shit on us. God dammit, even the PS3 has less bugs, and it is still fucking crap! Everyone, trade in your Xbox 360, games, etc. and get the PS3, or better yet, the Wii, cause this is bullcrap.
- People are blaming every single hardware problems on their 360 to the Power Supply Unit (known as the power brick that is suppost to be inside the 360 to begin with.) I believe that the brick is fragile, and should be remade from the ground up, because when Microsoft ships it to stores and sites ship it to you, they get all fucked up.
We are all fucked, every 360 will one day fucking die cause of the power supply unit, it is guaranteed by most people, your 360 will die under 1.5 years of purchase date.
Don't waste your money on this piece of junk. Get the Wii or the PS3.

Oh Geeze, God forbid that Xbox Live has an unexpected fuck up after like 8 months of near perfect service. Get over yourself and shut the fuck up.

How long have you had your 360? If you just recently got it you should be able to exchange it for another one from wherever you originally bought it. If you have a launch day system then you should stop complaining since Microsoft has given all launch day owners a free lifetime warranty.

Millions? Fucking laffo. Show me some statistics of the ratio of people who have faulty 360's and people who have 360's that work perfectly fine. And just shut the fuck up with the "M$ is fucking us again" mentality. It makes you look like a Goddamn retard.

Every single hardware problem? Bullshit, most people are the ones that cause their own problems and they don't even realize it. My friend has had a 360 since launch day and he hasn't had a single problem with it. More than likely it's because he actually bothers to take care of it, unlike some people who have 360's that look like they have smeared feces all over it.
The problem is that people don't realize that the more complicated game console get (in terms of hardware and functionality) there ARE going to be more problems. I think you need to take a step back and take a look at some of the launch day PS3 and Wii systems. Some of them have already had their fair share of launch day woes.
WHATEVER, FAGGOT

I got my PS2 within 2 months of them being released here, and it's still working 100% to this day 
Shame they didn't think to include the IR receiver for the DVD remotes in the earlier models, I am still stuck with a bloody IR receiver in one of my controller ports >.<

You were just posting topics about how much you want the Wii not too long ago...

Half-Life 2 is highly overrated.

No it's not. I think Valve NAILED it with that game. Everything was a perfect balance.

What? HL2 was really disappointing compared to the first Half-Life,
first, in HL2 there is a terrible weapon selection, and they are all fairly generic weapons, with the exception of the crossbow, which is nothing compared with the cool alien weapons you got in HL1.
Second, the single player in HL2 is a joke, the "Advanced AI" is laughable, the enemies duck behind a door, shoot at me, stop to reload and take bullets in the head until they die. I'm not seeing 6 years of improvement here. Oh, right. The single player. The campaign is short and the puzzles are pretty much a joke. Actually, an insult to your intelligence.
Third, Steam. The game requires you to be connected to Valve's Steam service which forces you to be online when you want to play HL2, add to the fact that Steam uses quite a bit of resources, putting people with worse computers at a disadvantage.
Fourth...ly, Multiplay. Oh my god, where do I start with this... HL2's multiplayer is just bad. Enough said. HL1's multiplayer is way more fun with the better weapon variety, who cares if there is no gravity gun, there's like 6 more to make up for it. Counter-Strike: Source is okay, if you like doing the exact same thing 400 times in a row on de_dust2.
The engine. The physics in this game are quite good, I will say that, although the sound in this game is atrocious. There is no background music ever playing for more than 30 seconds, and it seems to start blaring at the most awkward times, and voices seem to suffer from an odd stuttering now and then.
Storyline, What storyline? What the fuck is going on? People who have not played HL1 won't have a clue what it going on, and even if you have played it, you will find the storyline in this game to be pretty....lacking. Having the doctor telling you "Gordon, go from here to the big tower called the citadel and blow it up" would have been better than a million unanswered questions and tiny useless tidbits of information tossed your way now and then.
Well, that's all I can bitch about HL2 for now. I hope my arguement was good.

Half-Life 2 is a sequel. Of course people who haven't played Half-Life 1 won't know what the hell is going on. They can't design the storyline to somehow make sense right in the middle. Also, it still doesn't fully make sense because the game isn't finished. I really don't know what you're trying to point out here.
Why are you listing the engine as a complaint? You said that voices stutter (which is only true if your computer can't handle the game very well) and that the way the music is presented doesn't suit your tastes. Neither have anything to do with the engine. If you want music all the time, just open Winamp or something.
As for multiplayer, the game wasn't designed to have its own multiplayer. Not all games have to have a huge dedication towards multiplayer. I don't see what is wrong with having a singleplayer game. Half-Life 1 is a singeplayer game. The multiplayer it has are games that are being remade for Source. Counter-Strike: Source isn't even an attachment. It's a whole game that uses the Source engine, which comes with Half-Life 2 so that people wouldn't complain so much about there being no multiplayer... this doesn't really have any relevance to the actual design and gameplay of the game.
Everyone can agree on the fact that Steam really sucks. But, Steam was around before Half-Life 2, and it wasn't any better than it is now. This doesn't have anything to do with the design of Half-Life 2.
I agree that the AI isn't that great, but that shouldn't be all you're looking for in a singleplayer campaign. It seems to be your main reason as to why the campaign sucks, besides the length of the whole thing. It took me six days to beat the game, and that was playing an hour or two a day. The length is roughly the same as Half-Life 1.
It's true that there weren't any Xen weapons, but it wouldn't really make much sense with the storyline if you could still get them in Half-Life 2. The gravity gun makes up for the lack of Xen weapons. Both the buggy and airboat are also great additions. I think the puzzles are fine. Some of them were really easy, but there were also some that took me a while to figure out. If they were any harder, I think millions of people would get stuck in the campaign and complain like crazy (trust me, there is a large percent of people out there who aren't great thinkers).
Edited to be more friendly...
