what are your thoughts on half-life?

[NT]

the game series
ive never played it but it looks really fun

Not yet but that part would probably be better than the rest of the City 17 part

It is much better.

muh atmosphere or whatever. Still wish they didn't cancel return to ravenholm.

The timeline where we got return to ravenholm is the one with world peace.

Ravenholm felt stuffy, i preferred Route Kanal.

also food for thought but in half life 1 you're just trying to escape/stop the resonance cascade, but in half life 2 your arrival is what's fucking everything up. I always thought that was a cool progression.

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS MAP IN "FOLLOW FREEMAN"!

I love this part of the map so much, it's so aesthetically pleasing, so industrial, so awesome.
I love this, i wish the entire game looked like this.

In half life one the penultimate chapter of the game before you go to xen is Forget About Freeman, in half life two the penultimate chapter of the game is Follow Freeman. Probably a coincidence but I think it says something.

I also like this bit, i still prefer the industrial bit in Follow Freeman, but this is nice too.

I also liked the Crane in Highway 17, killing Overwatch solders with the crane was awesome.

Highgay 17 is probably the worst chapter albeit. I don't recall there being a specific section of it that was exceptionally better than the rest of the chapter.

I wouldn't say it's the worst but it isn't very eventful, i liked the bridge segment and the crane segment but there is barely anything beyond that.
Water Hazard MOGS Highway 17 anyway

 

[XXX_SKIBIDISIGMA_XXX]

The bridge part is the only good part. The New Little Odessa is a retarded speedbump as well as the lighthouse in Sandtraps

I liked the lighthouse part where you fight the gunship, i like all the gunship fights, best one was the Nova Prospekt gunship battle THOUGH.

I finished Half Life 2. Should I play Lost Coast next or skip to Episode 1. I know Lost Coast is just a tech demo for a shitty graphics feature that dims and brightens scenes

play lost coast because it's 2 seconds long anyway. also I just finished hl1, I don't remember why I hated xen so much, it's not long at all.

 

[Fagon]

Xen is shit, that's why. I know it isn't long either but by that point the game should've just skipped to the final boss

Everything except nihilanth (because it's actually new) feels like something a teenager would slap together in the hammer editor tbh.

Also fuck those stupid health ponds, horrible replacement of the health stations.

I don't really like those things. I just step in one of them and put "host_maxframerate 1" in the console so I go from 1 to 100 hp in 0.5 seconds of real time.

I transheart playing half life multiplayer

Also fuck those stupid health ponds, horrible replacement of the health stations.

I don't think they are bad tbh, even if health chargers are better

I love it but I gave up on it because I got stuck on the one level with the giant headcrab and it glitched out so that the headcrab wouldn't go through the webbing.
