Surface Tension : is the chapter too long?
I feel that the devs at Valve made many maps to make the game feel long enough but forgot to cut the chapter in two.

Forget about Freeman felt like a second part for this.

Same thing with the sequel and Highway 17/Sandtrap.

I swear, if someone says highway 17/sandtrap and surface tension are too long again, I will broadcast HL2 on hard mode, and beat it.

Yeah, I don't know why this keeps popping up. Probably people peddling others' opinions again. Sick of hearing about the length of Surface Tension.

What does it have to do with hard mode?

Why everytime you always say "people peddling other's opinion" or "because their favourite youtuber said so" when someone tells something?

Like having an unpopular opinion makes it more valid.

If you are sick of hearing this then you should stop listening to people.

Because 90% of the time these topics you create comes after a youtube video with the same clickbait title gets released.

If an opinion is popular then it's expected to see that.

I think that Surface Tension is too long, what is bad about it?

I mean there are popular opinions like FF7 being the best RPG ever made, Mario 64 being the best platformer or Zelda OoT being one of the best game ever made.

Also Doom is still the best FPS to many. Same with Portal being one of the best Puzzle game.

Highway 17 was focused on testing the dune buggy and it's about driving through the highway and take stops at safehouses while avoiding the ants.

Sandtraps was focused on testing the gravity gun to play around with objects to avoid touching the sand. It doesn't feel like highway's sequel as both levels have their own experiment on the source engine.

You suddenly start thinking stuff like this whenever a new video pops up and then go on a topic creating spree. Be original.

That's the issue with HL² in general that I get: there are two vehicle-focused chapters in the game which makes it seem a bit long, like On a Rail with the train.

Which new video? Also what do you mean by being original? Having unpopular opinions isn't originality.

What do you know? I am just stating my opinion, I didn't see any of these videos you're talking about.

In fact I have no idea which ones you're refering to.

What does it have to do with hard mode?
If it wasn't obvious, i was going to dare myself to play HL2 on hard mode and broadcast it. If someone said something about surface tension or sandtrap being too long again.
