I dunno...spending 10 minutes doing nothing but looking around in a train right at the beginning bored me even then, dunno why people loved that so much .

That's about as far as I ever got in that game :-/.

I'd kinda expect more, especially of adventure/point'n'click fans...

:p

Well, I've only played Half Life 2. But that has a train-based start which is the best opening to any game I've played.

It weren't the train for me though, I love trains, I even spend hours and hours playing train simulators!
I'm just not much of a "beasts" related type of game fan.

I sort of want to play it, since I've waited so long, but I'm too afraid to download it, as they have admitted that it's not really finished... Aaaaugh!

I watched TotalBiscuit stream an hour or two of it yesterday. Didn't look bad but it certainly didn't look finished quite yet either. It got some very curios performance problems (huge frame drops even on high-end hardware) and, well, Half-Life 1 is Half-Life 1. It was ground-breaking at the time but, if you haven't played it in all that time, you might be a little shocked - first-person jumping puzzles, very well hidden vents that you need to find to progress and all...

  I played (or watched mainly) the intro up until getting the suit.  I would have played the heck out of Black Mesa, but I'm headed on out a trip and don't want to get sucked in until I have time to properly get into it.

  Everything looked great at the game start, though I haven't shot anything yet.
