What kind of acting? The script? Yeah, it's pretty bad. They should definitely hire someone who can write something more ambitious than that.
Otherwise the production value is amazing. The VA is very professional, but it's hampered by the bad writing. The character models are wonderfully animated during cutscenes, but that makes them appear even more robotic and lifeless by comparison when set on "neutral", like alex.
Nontheless valve is going to great lengths to create a great narratuve, and you can see the insane amount of effort that went in. Which makes the shitty script even more so jarring. A skilled eye can see all the subtle moves and tricks - at one point I realized I felt an emotional tingle of envy as alex kissed the vort. That was a very intentional move on valve's part.

sounds like x1200 series on board graphics. get a pci express video card. an ati 3 or 4xx or nvidia 8 or 9xx series card and do the rest of that system justice, then play this game on high.
in reply to maniacjelly, if you dont know where i replied to, i replied to some guy saying that they missed the seven hour war and someother stuff that apparently was "IMPORTANT"
uuhhm...first of all you forgot portal. bad bad mistake. and next counterstrike was a mod of half life 1. it was fanmade, but valve liket it so much that they bought it
When the combine first arrived on earth, they fought the seven hour war against the earthlings (the resistance). Doctor Breen surrendered in name of the earth and became the communicator between combine and men. When he was defeated, the combine wanted to activate a super portal to let a lot of their men arrive on earth. This would surpress the resistance again. They want to dominate again, because Gordon Freeman killed a lot of their men and is taking over control together with the resistance.
hey what do you guys think what happended to barney i mean come on didnt he like went to white forest with a TRAIN derrr, i really wonde and yeah how sad that he still ows that beer to gordon.
Yo ya guys think That Alyx actualt like Gordon, i mean love him, but to afraid to show it to him or maybe she loves barney???
When my freind came round i was at this bit where there was a dark room FILLED with zombies and told him the controls and said everything was fine then he turned his light on and went AHHHHHHHH ZOMBIE!!! It was so damn Funny!
I noticed a lag in certain portions of this video (such as when the portal storm shockwave passes by Gordon and Alyx), no doubt the process of recording this episode as well as the slightly heavier system requirements of the slightly evolved game engine were the cause of it.
Well it was certainly longer than EP1 so they made a big improvement there. So most likely EP3 will be slightly longer however I think they get the length just right otherwise it gets a little boring even though it is Half Life.
