The boat part is arguably the crappiest part of the game. It gets SOOOO much better after that.

Tell me why you think we have to do the thinking for you? If you don't like it, don't play. It's that simple.

How about go into the console and just use the noclip command and fly through the boat stage and carry on playing :D

WE ARE THE PATRIOTS!!

TC: like said before the boat part is the crappiest part of the 3 HL2 games. Wait til you get the Gravity Gun and then you'll see how it picks up.

You're basically starting the whole thing.

Quit playing, go pick up Half-life 1, obtain the urge for more great storytelling, play HL2, and stick with it!

Thats funny, I stopped right where you are also. My buddy tells me as soon as that part is over it gets really good though. Eventually I think I will go back to it.

i got orange box and i really liked portal but half life i cant get into ive been wandering around in some boat for a long time, i loved the beginning and the cutscenes but i seem to be just going on forever and im not even sure i shoulda bought this game. tell me why i should give this game a 2nd chance? ive heard theres a great story in it but i seem to just go on and on.

The Duck speaks the truth... I also had a blast in Ravenholm. It's one of the most memorable parts of HL2 IMO.

Yeah I enjoyed ravenholm. Cool atmosphere. But every section in that game has its weak spots. I didnt like Nova Prospect part to tell ya the truth.

omg. Just bear down and plough through it. Real gamers don't stop gaming until the game is beaten. Plus it's a great game. In a little bit you'll get to a fun zombie infested town.

Dude, believe me: I hated that part, seriously. It gets a bit (just a bit) better once they mount a gun on the boat and when ocationally you have to get into some buildings to open gates, but the boat riding was just boring. (But some cool tunes play in that part)

Agreed... really, my favorite part of HL2 is the beginning, but the worst part is the airboat part. The game really drags around there, but it picks up again when you get off of the boat. Just stick with it.
