Lmao he just wants data lol go look at the dry baltic index anyof those stocks should help <| sep |> I ' ll breathe a sigh of relief when this is all over . Homecoming will come out , Zendaya will turn out not to be MJ , people like you will turn out to be wrong and we can put this whole thing behind us <| sep |> uMannoSlimmins IS A PAID SHILL FOR CORRECT THE RECORD <| sep |> Surely we can do better than 1045 <| sep |> You know that a sequel would be called Half Life 2 Episode 2 . 1 <| sep |> True , that ' s why I ' m not assuming it to be anything rn I ' ve stopped letting it bother me . <| sep |> Wait do you love uspez , hate uspez ? Or does uspez love uspez . WTF uspez you dropped a fat rancid dump all over your own site . Moron . <| sep |> I am glad . I might not have gone through with 12 if I had started there . The combat really is clunky and dated , but I did find some enjoyment in it and the story . Origins is , amazingly enough , set in a time long passed before the events of the other games . Shocker , I know . That places it in a unique position . If you ' re new to the series , then it gets a good deal of worldbuilding done for you , but might somewhat spoil a few bits in later games though not much more than the box art would , I believe . But if you ' re a vet going back , then it gives you that same history and a pleasant feeling of , Oh , hey . I recognize that namethemeetc . Overall , I definitely would call it the go to starting point . Even if it had nothing else , the multiple characters allow for improved replayability compared to the others .
