Themken: So all I have to do is get through each level as fast as possible trying to pick up some ammo, weapons and medkits?
Not really, except some parts with ambushes/traps/hazards you need to run through or avoid. The game has quicksave and a map so it's usually easy to find one's way around most maps in the classic version & save when one wants to take a break.

Plus the classic version has a ton of stuff they couldn't get away with today due to various PC nonsense.

I've started playing the official campaign of Neverwinter nights 2.
It really seems to be extremely generic and bland, will have to see if I finish it. On the other hand, some mindless entertainment like this may have its advantages as well.

I'm playing the Raven Remastered, it's a buggy mess but I love the writing and the German voices. It has any sort of problems of point and click adventure games, continuity problems, polygons collision problems, cutscenes stuck still while the audio goes on and you miss them, you get the picture. It's a generous gift so I don't complain too much about the swollen price, but it's like a Trabant trying to look like a Maserati. Still, I feel compelled to reach the ending and after that possibly take a long holiday from point and click adventures.

Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of the Earth

Got past infamous hotel escape sequence, still took few tries. Game tells you to lock and push objects to block passage but beside one wardrobe at the beginning - you can ignore this and just run like hell. Other problem is Sanity that can be affected by height and some awaken old hag howling like a banshee, It can slow you down you can fail jumping platforms at some point.
It annoyed me significantly.
Now here comes sneaking parts but I feel confident it's going to be better and smooth. Heard that final escape sequence can give some troubles too but we'll see....

I liked the parts once you get away from them/get weapons.....then you can fight back a bit.

I decided to finally play through Half-Life 2. The latest point I remember from earlier is getting the buggy and driving off on the beach. This time I got to Nova Prospekt, messed up after fighting a few super-ant-lions (ant lion mothers?), and had to load the previous save - where I was still on the buggy. My last save now is just after the lighthouse.

I cheated though, to get godmode and ammo, because fuckit, I can't be bothered to learn precision-twitching to hit the pixel that's shooting at me before they manage to kill me, and those gunships are annoying (also the super-ant-lions). Eat laser-guided rockets while I'm out in the open so I can see where the f you are.

Don't you have the ant lion bait/gland yet? It makes you immune to most ant lions I think, and you should have it at some point via the story.

Or is that the sequel chapters? I forget.

Also to avoid ant lions stick near the thumpers/turrets, and stay off the floor/ground(on the beach/etc).

The Vortigaunts give Freeman the pheropod in the Sandtraps chapter, the one just before Nova Prospekt.

It doesn't prevent attacks from Antlion Guards (the big ones that the pheropods are harvested from) though.

Not quite yet. First I have to get through this beach where they pop up by handfuls for each step you take on the sand, feels like a variation of Dune, and then fight one of those supers (using three or four rockets, as much or more than the gunships), after which an alien will harvest a gland and tell me how to use it.

Oh, antlion guards, so that's what they're called. I noticed that Nova Prospekt is laid out in such a way that I never have access to my antlion troup whenever I need to fight a guard.

I guessed it was like that....which is why that Maighstir's comment about fighting ALL ant lions towards Nova Prospekt seemed odd.

You can move stuff with the gravity gun and step on it to avoid ant lions, but step off those things just a bit and it'll trigger them to attack so be careful.

You can toss the bait up to high places and they will fly/leap to it and attack those nearby.

The fights against the Antlion Guards are mostly in enclosed areas in the Nova Prospekt chapter (inside the prison itself, if I recall) where the normal Antlions can't reach.

I was more talking about using them against human enemies....sorry about not being more clear. :)
