Thanks good fellow. I never actually played it before.
is real good. and stands up too. still as good today as it was 20 years ago.
except the bridge level.
Fuck the bridge level.
I still play Ridge Racer Type 4, so I do appreciate well designed games that hold up decades later.
yep. Good games are timeless.
Its why you can still go back and play great old games like Suikoden, or Final Fantasy, or Street Fighter, or whatever, without issue. cause they are timeless.
Personally, I think 1 holds up better. 2 isn't bad by any means, but it was one of the first games with physics and the physics puzzles get old fast. It was amazing at the time, but now it's not as interesting because we've seen it a million times.
us Half-Life fans are eating good this month. first, we get Project Borealis Prologue, and now HL2 update and the game going free to own for a limited time. i am so going to enjoy checking the update out. and the documentary as well.
Don't forgrt HL2 RTX coming up.
You're amazing! Thanks for sharing!
That changelog is waaaay longer than I expected it to be.
Hmmm... I guess it has been over a decade. Maybe it's time to play HL2 again.
Thank you! My kids Christmas account will need to save city 17 as soon as Dec 25th
Just started playing it. So far I can't remember it at all. I played HL1 so much and have recently started with Black Mesa. I remember a lot of EP1, also. Managed to clock 3 hrs on HL2 today and there's only one bit I remember, I think. Good fun game. Only annoyance are the ladders and getting on / off them well.
I bought Trepang 2 the other day too and that has a similar era vibe, but with a modern take.
What annoys you about the ladders? To this day, I find them among the easiest video game ladders to use. No stupid button prompts; just hold W. To go down one, just face it backwards and press S. Simple, genius design.
I would always look down and press W to go down and then plummet to my death, didn't know it just worked by walking backwards.
I knew about just pressing S, but I have also done this more than I care to admit.
I seem to get stuck on them occasionally. Like I'm at the top or bottom but can't just walk off.
I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.
Played 15 minutes and it was very intriguing but motion sickness got the best of me and I stopped playing after barfing at the toilet
I just finished watching the documentary this afternoon. I already own the game since it released but this is all a great excuse to okay through it again.
I'm so hyped to listen to the new commentary.
Can the game ve played with controller? Don't judge me, I just prefer controller that mouse + keyboard.
Yes, a part of the update is dedicated to improving controller gameplay.
That's great, I'm going to give it a try. Bet I can make it works on Linux.
It's Linux native
Fuck, I lost it :/
Thanks
