Do not award HL2 with the GOTY award or I lose my faith in the gaming industry!

Never have I seen such a bland, boring and uninspiring big-budget game the last few years.

All the weak elements like missing immersion, bad leveldesign, characters, storyline, well even the unoriginality of the game are hidden behind the shiny pixel shaders, overused physic engine and fully scripted events.

The parts where you have to drive a buggy are one of the most boring moments in gaming history much like the prison and C17 levels. In fact while running through C17 just one thing came to my mind about the level desing: "Potemkin villages". Big fassades, nothing behind, everything looks like being build for a movie set.

Not talking now about the frightening technical aspects of the game like AI, long loading time, stuttering, "cannot read memory" crashes and so on...

ok, in all honestly I have to admit that out of the 10 hours gameplay I enjoyed only to 2 parts: Ravenholm and the citadel. But that's about it
