Can't shoot Gordon Freeman

Bires · 01-22-2005, 07:02 PM

I finally got HL2 a couple of weeks ago and started playing last week. And I confirmed, projectiles still ignore Newton’s first law (but I digress).

Something else I noticed-the reason the goons shoot like stormtroopers- Freeman is invisible! You look down-no legs.
When you activate objects-nothing touches them
When you pickup heavy objects-no arms or hands
When on the airboat-no hands gripping the handlebar…although one hand could be on the throttle on the motor, since the throttle lever never moves either.
Those poor goons don’t stand a chance against the invisible Gordon Freeman!

Just wondering if anyone else caught that.

Anyway…good game. I’m not sure I agree with the critic on the box that called it the “best game ever made” Deus Ex is

BTW: Very smooth with no chop at all on a P4C-3GHz and Radeon 9800P with 4X FSAA at 1024x768

Ok...everyone guess who the physics teacher is.

Thanks for your observations Bires.

I noticed it too. but i like that everyone doesn't seem to mind that gordon doesn't talk. They shoud have at least recorded a few people saying, "gordon, you've changed. why don't you talk anymore." "gordon, you used to share your thoughts on xyz technology, what happened to you?" "gordon, why haven't you called me back? I missed you. My bed is always ready <wink>"

BTW: Very smooth with no chop at all on a 286 and serial display

i thought that was so funny, how gordon doesnt talk. people are always like "GORDAN FREEMAN?!?!" and he doesnt say a word. also, you saw gordon's hands when he put his orange suit thing on.
