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.
Sweeeeeeet! I had HL2 on my ancient Steam account that I lost ages ago, it feels right to have it back in my library all these years later.
The anniversary update sounds tempting, but I think I'll wait for HL2 RTX before replaying it.
I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.
I remember when halflife 1 became free
Thanks, I feel old now...
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.
