I find it hard to enjoy a game of Phalanx because most levels are ten minutes or longer. The levels aren't necessarily bad, but it's just annoying going through some anti-gravity river for ten minutes and facing the same challenges nonstop until you finally get to some disgustingly easy boss. They could've made each level half as long and it'd be twice as good... and easier to beat since I wouldn't have to replay all that baloney from the very beginning whenever I decide to come back and try to beat it. :'(
Also, any RPG with dungeons just sicken me.
Level 69 on World of Warcraft.
It takes a shitload of experience to hit 70.

And the problem is you don't know where the hell you are or what the goal is so you really don't know if you're even close to beating the level. :'(
Also, the 30 seconds loads times every 15 seconds just makes the game even worse.

Get a better PC you dick fag, only takes 5 seconds to load on my 360 and 7 on my new PC. And still, you're fucking retarded if you can't follow a road to your destination and get lost. Can't wait to see you try to drive. "DURR HURR HURR MAPQUEST SAYS TO FOLLOW THIS ROAD TILL I GET TO A BRICK WALL BUT FUCK IM SO LOST"

Here's the plotline for Halflife 2: We don't go to Ravenholm.
Wow, that tells me exactly what I need to do and exactly where I need to go and exactly what's going on.
Half-Life 2 sucks and has quite possibly the worst plotline, or lack thereof, in any game I've ever played. Hell, every generic shmup I've ever played has a greater story than Half-Life 2. The gameplay itself is sometimes fun, but dropping some buggy off a crane and telling me to shoot antlions with a gravity gun and jsut drive until I get somewhere tells me nothing. Sure, there are some parts where you can just follow a road, but if you just follow the road, you're not going to get anywhere. You'll just come up to a wall.
Also, 90% of the game is just "OH GOD RUN FOR YOUR LIFE THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU PRISONER." That's alright for 30 minutes in a game like that, but that's all the entire game is.
Team Fortress 2 is amazing, Portal is pretty good, but Half-Life 2 is just utter slop and I'm ashamed to have it hailed as the greatest scifi game ever. Really, just imagine watching a movie with some silent guy running from some other guys with gas masks for 20 hours and not telling you a single goddamn thing about what's going on. That's all Half-Life 2 is.
Seriously, it doesn't need golden arrows like Bioshock, but there could at least be maps somewhere in the game or maybe signs with hints on where to go. "lmao go to the lab" tells me jack shit unless I'm backtracking, and this isn't Metroid.

Speaking of Metroid, Metroid is the biggest pile of shit I've ever played when it comes to "WHERE THE FUCK AM I GOING" and "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON" so I really don't understand your logic. At all.
It also helps if you play fucking Half Life 1, you know, that sort of explains how this shit happened. Shit happens in Black Mesa, rip in universe or some shit so aliens are everywhere. Gordon defeats alien master by going into space. Thus while he's there the combine are like 'o space hole lets take over earth". Gordon comes back and is like shit.
you know what fuck it this explains it better than i can

It'd be nice if the game had it's own story instead of just being a continuation of action from the previous game and no progression of storyline.

The sewers were just a boring as concept in general for a dungeon. But the forest wouldn't have been THAT shitty if the puzzle just fucking ended when you knocked the fruit out of the tree.

Nope I'm still using it but it runs Half Life 2 and stuff pretty smoothly. I just need to put it on lower settings and cope with the long loading times. :(

Three, almost four years old. The load time is the only thing I'm telling you to forgive it for, I mean back then, and still now those graphics were amazing. (now they're pretty crappy except the facial expressions are still some of the best.)
