MODERATORS
Half Life 2 still holds up really well, honestly better than a ton of modern first person shooters. The only places it's lacking from a non-technical aspect is enemy variety. If valve did a remake just updating the graphics and gun play that would be my only knock on it and that says a lot for a 20 year old game.
There is also a VR mod on Steam that works perfectly With Half-Life 2, No need to jump through hoops, it just works. One of the best VR experiences out there.
It just works like the way Skyrim VR just works or will it make HL2 the same kind of experience as HL: Alyx?
You just changed my life.
I keep trying to play half-life and keep quitting everytime because of motion sickness
1 or 2?
couldn't get pass 1
Have you tried enabling and opening the developer console and changed the sv_friction value to something higher than the default of 4? Perhaps 6? Might get rid of the sliding of the character movement and help with your motion sickness.
Oh that would be nice in left 4 dead
HL2 is peak first person shooter. More recent games have added a lot, but after playing through HL2 recent, it's really nice to strip all that extra stuff away.
I can see why people didn't like some parts (boat, car) but they're so iconic to me.
Except episode 2 (1?) car shit with the buckeyballs. Fuck that.
I disagree, I cannot see why people dislike those parts—the tension is fantastic in both
FYI, that's roughly 50x the normal average over the past 3 months. And also the highest ever concurrent users was 4 hours ago. Not bad.
Nostalgia's a helluva drug. I've done my best to try to avoid it, but we all like that hit from time to time.
Played Half Life 2 for the first time in my life at 25, 10/10 perfect game.
Avoid nostalgia?
Yes, ignore false history.

Is there formatting on this post? It seems to have broken voyager slightly
Is the update actually anything significant?
If you're into the nuts and bolts of game development at all, the commentary is fantastic.
The full list is on steam, the main thing is it's bundled all hl2 games in one package, integrated workshop for mod installation, and added new developer commentary for hl2. Also a bunch of misc fixes etc.
How does that compare to Concord?
I don't think these two games can be reasonably compared. HL2 is currently free, while concord was a paid game.
Also, Concord is so old that they don't even sell it anymore...
Man , it's dead just let it go. Digging on Concord was funny the first week it was shelved
Digging on Concord was funny for longer than its server were online.
Live service? More like dead service. Am I right, guys? I’ll see myself out.
Fair enough.
