As did I, but I started playing at like 4:30 am up to noon. Then a couple hours later, more.
I'm up to Nova Prospekt. What I did at their front door was motherfucking pure insanity.
I still can't get over some of the physics stuff. Killing people with magnetic cranes and trailers is what all games should be about. I'm also glad they came up with a sort-of decent reason to have all those traps around Ravenholm -- even if the mere existence of it doesn't really make any sense. Like they glued really cool bits together that didn't always fit into the overall plot.
Grigori made them.
Yeah, that's why I said "they came up with a sort-of decent reason to have all those traps". I was talking about the existence of Ravenholm as a plot point, it's really kind of out of nowhere and is probably a function of how Valve developed it, with their independent "cabals" or whatever, i.e. Cabal 3: "let's have a level with sawblades and traps and a crazy Russian priest!" Writer guy: "Okay. Hmm."
On an unrelated note, I really like the touch of it moving from day to night to dawn as you move through it.
I think Ravenholm used to be the main town of the resistance. That's why the combine shelled it with those headcrab bombs. But anyway I think that's really why you go there, and why there was a path there. Plus why there's all the pulleys and traps and things. |
