I like it most of the time. The only thing I never liked about it is if feels a looks like you are running/walking on ice. In L4D2 I can never quite tell where the zombies are going to end up.

Old engine that needs a big overhaul IMO. Its pretty old and outdated I think. Never did like the visuals from it. Every game "feels" the same with a different coat of paint so to speak.
When reloading a weapon, you need to wait for the entire animation to finish before you can shoot. Most modern shooters will count the reload when the clip enters the gun before the animation ends.

No...not really.
They look artsy. Thats it. Portal 2 may change my opinion a bit but still doesn't look amazing. Runs really damn well though.

Isn't that Steam though?
Nah, whenever you minimize a source game it freaks out and then.... hl2.exe error.Sure, it's outdated now, but to say you never liked the visuals is crazy talk. The source engine was an entire generation ahead of most of the competition when it released, and it is very easy to run. I can't think of any other engine that can even come close to the optimization of the source engine.Old engine that needs a big overhaul IMO. Its pretty old and outdated I think.

It's subjective I guess. I'll admit, it's no graphical powerhouse, but it's more stable than engines like the Unreal engine, the user knowledge base is vast, and it's extremely versatile. Considering it's more than 7 years old now, it looks pretty damn good if you ask me. Yes, it may be lacking in some of the really special effects that games like Metro 2033 or Crysis 2, but who really needs parallax and light occlumence and shader model 4.0?

Me and my fellow graphical whores. Now excuse me while I put my monocle and top-hat back on while lighting up the pipe. G'day gentlemen, I rather enjoyed this pleasent conversation we engaged in.
And that one game by the Mirror's Edge guy is pretty damn good looking for Source. I just like to nit-pick visuals though :oops:
