Will it ever be released?

First it was 31st December 2004. Then it was September 2005. Then November 2005.

And now it's been delayed until January 2006.

Annoying to say the least.

I was...

...and my PC isn't quite good enough to run it. I'm not gambling £20 in case it doesn't work, and I'm not getting my PC upgraded for one game.

Ahaha. Unlucky.

What are your specs though?

Cause HL2 runs really nicely on low spec PCs.

Not all that fussed.

I've already played 2 games on Xbox where you can use telekenesis to move objects and people around.

I'm sure it'll be amazing but it won't blow anyone away like Oblivion will.

That's going to be a proper ground-breaking game.

Yeah I was looking forward to this game. But with all the other games coming out, my interest in it has died out quite alot. Especially knowing that its not gonna match up to the PC version anyway.

1) It won't match up
2) It wasn't that amazing to begin with, to be brutally opinionated.

2GHz Processor
256 Ram

Not exactly special. I've been told it probably wouldn't like Half Life 2 (I've got the absolute minimum specs).

HL2 loves low spec PCs... You'd probably alright to play, but it wouldn't be AMAZING.

I guess waiting for it on the Xbox won't hurt much...

If the X-box version turns out to be just as good then yeah, I'll get that. If not, I'll just get the PC one. It'll probably be cheaper on PC by then anyway.
