They've caught the guy how many times now? Five? Six?
Not going to change the fact that HL2 wasn't done on time. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

And I found that line funny simply because of the tone set by anyone involved with HL2 through this whole thing. It's just been a lot of anger from what I can see, the whole dramatic element has alienated a lot of people, hell I don't really know anyone outside of HL and HL mod communities even waiting for HL2 anymore, everyone I talk to either 1)doesn't care anymore because of the delays or 2)thought the whole thing was just typical game industry bs, and so they moved on.
But I'm getting off topic here. But I never really had a topic.

This may be unpopular to say right now, but I'm gonna say it-
If I was ever sure that VALVe deserves support and that HL2 will be the awesomest game ever, its now. Not because of the superior graphics. Or the superior physics. But because the gameplay just looked insanely fun- and that was WATCHING. Just imagine playing.
If it takes another month, or another 5 years, I don't care. I just want a kickass game.
Yes, I'm sure it would be nice just to wait 5 years. We'll be playing Doom 5 and Final Fantasy XIV, and all of a sudden Half Life 2 has been released. It would be far unsuperior to the other games by then.

I think it's safe to say plenty of people outside the existing community are looking forward to it, and even if they aren't you can bet when it's released they'll soon sit up and take notice.
