Kissaki, wczoraj do gaming w Half-Life 2 Anniversary Update

Huge update, with a lot of changes, and workshop support. Valve does it again. Quality update for a very “old” title.

Half-Life 2 is currently free on Steam

From now through the weekend (until November 18th at 10am Pacific) Half-Life 2 is free to own , so if you’ve never played before, grab it now and keep it forever.

Zoop, wczoraj

Thank you so much for commenting this! I wouldn’t have known otherwise.

Midnitte, wczoraj

(Also includes Episode 1 and Episode 2 - sort of… “DLC”)

Well not forever since Steam has DRM. Buy from GoG and download the game DRM free to actually keep it forever. Of course HL2 won’t be there

Haha, go to the bottom an grab the gravity gun - really cool gimmick

New commentary for HL2 if anyone’s looking for an excuse to play it again.

Also workshop and graphical updates - pretty neat

Don’t forget deathmatch exists too. 🚽

I sure hope they don’t plan on having more than 2 anniversaries.

Between this and the awesome Quake remaster, who needs new games?

Hmmm… Kind of surprised there isn’t an ARG to go along with this.

Meh. I’m so over Half-Life. Even if GabeN released 3 right now I wouldn’t care.

Never played Half-Life Uplink. Pretty good bonus content.

I think my favorite part is how they’ve brought back software rendering, both by allowing it on linux and by giving the option to turn off texture filtering on opengl. That plus making the main menu look like the original release brings me right back to how I first played Half-Life!

How to tell someone they’re old in as painful and indirect manner as possible.

So is Half-life: source now the old one or is Half-life the old version? Or did they revamp both? It is a bit unclear in my library.

The one just named “Half Life” is the definitive version now, the one that got the big update yesterday.

Source is the same messy version as it was before and they haven’t touched it. Though it will still be in our libraries for legacy versions.

Valve themselves recommend you ignore Source exists now.

IMO Black Mesa is now the definitive version.

What is their reason for abandoning the source version? I would assume it looks better, and it would be easier to fit for today’s gaming needs

vhj, 11 miesięcy temu

If you ask me, the Source version didn’t include any QoL improvements or anything that might make the game more modern feeling.

The “upgrades” are mostly new textures and effects that bugged out half the time. Plus all the gameplay bugs that it introduced.

Even before the update most people were recommending the OG above the Source version, so it makes sense that they would update that one.

There is a nice easter egg on the page, it has to do with the crowbar at the bottom!

Relaunched it to replay the demo : “uplink”, it really lived up to my memory. A self contained half hour of half life fun, with an original map that show off diverse game mechanics. This was really a great demo back in the day.
