It is very linear in the way that if you don't head toward the correct opening in the dam or marsh, it's a dead end. In HL2, the airboat ride was really fun, but man, checkpoint after checkpoint after checkpoint. Valve doesn't seem to break up the environments well. All I remember from HL was that Black Mesa was a huge sprawling complex where I went through door after door after door. The levels seem to go on forever and ever. Yes, my opinion is that there are parts that seemed repetitive to me. The worst for me are HL, HL2, Turok, anything with loooooong sprawled out levels with repetitive scenery just suck in my opinion and I just can't get into them. Nothing better than sneaking around a facility killing unsuspecting patrolling guards in Goldeneye. Sometimes I would throw a switch and not see what it did or figure out what it opened up, I just didn't dig it, HL was the same way, I got mad somewhere around the surface.įor me, the absolute best level design on a game had to be Doom 1 E1, Doom2, and Goldeneye. Yeah it would go like this, walk down a well lit alley fighting headcrab zombies, explore a dark alley, deadend, get turned around, backtrack accidentially, fight more headcrab zombies, reach another dead end, get angry, save, do the same thing tomorrow. Ravenholm was a bit more complex but still 100% linear, maybe you missed a small jumping opportunity to progress. LOL you got stuck on Halflife2´s Ravenholm level? HL2 is the most linear game I played since Unreal2, the linearity really made me angry after some time. If there's a thousand threads about this topic that I've missed, please feel free to flame me, at least it'd be some sort of discussion :) like alphalabs better? or constant platformer jumping, with monster closet ambuhes from behind in a dark room bad? Is RoE going to piss me off more and more as I play, or is it going to get better?. I'm stuck in ravenholm and hate the level design, if I wanted to explore dark alleyways and dead ends all day I'd become a bum and live on the streets.īack on topic, I'm still barely in the middle of the first level, and am getting put off on the gameplay already. Plus they give you a weaker version of HL2's gravity gun 5 seconds after the start of the game. actually hell was alot brighter if I recall correctly. WTF? Boom right out of the box, first level it's dark as all hell. I still love the goddam game, not going to jump on the bandwagon and say that it sucks like everyone else, but that's just my opinion.Īnyway I just got RoE and I have to say. I can't believe all the haters out there who post how bad D3 is. Man this place has died down since D3 has been out for awhile.
