what are your thoughts on half-life?

[NT]

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

Where the fuck is half life 3 at?

My favourite animation in the game because most of the times I see it its bugged with the scientist out of sync with the worm.

I don't think I've ever seen it sync up

Half-Life is keyed in every way shape and form, the original game is actually my #1 favorite of all time and I can literally play it forever and ever, the expansions are really fun as well that expand the Black Mesa incident to a greater scale. The second game and its episodes are lesser IMO but are still 9/10s.

Valve's theme that you hear in the start of all of their games is actually just the theme from midway through Surface Tension, the longest chapter of HL1. Man the game's cinematics are still incredible today for a 20 year old game, like the tentacle in Blast Pit, the jets in Surface Tension. It's just incredible really I implore you play it; the game really set the bar for what a good singleplayer FPS is while still feeling arena shooter-y.

What about alyx though

I didn't mind on a rail. I like the end where you launch a satellite and it plays that 20 second music. I liked Sandtraps and it was way better than Highway 17. I don't like the City 17 part up until you fight the striders and take over that building with the forcefields

the strider shit was unbearable

In physics, half-life is the period over which half of a given amount of a radioactive substance decays. It represents the time it takes for half of the unstable atomic nuclei in a sample to transform into more stable forms by releasing energy, often in the form of radiation.

Key Points:
Radioactive Decay: Unstable isotopes (radioisotopes) undergo radioactive decay to reach a more stable state. This decay occurs randomly at the level of individual atoms, but on a larger scale, the rate of decay is predictable.
Exponential Decay: The decay process follows an exponential decay pattern, meaning that each half-life results in a 50% reduction of the remaining radioactive material. For example:
After one half-life, 50% of the original amount remains.
After two half-lives, 25% remains.
After three half-lives, 12.5% remains, and so on.
Different Half-Lives: Various radioactive elements have different half-lives, ranging from fractions of a second to billions of years. For instance, the half-life of carbon-14 (used in radiocarbon dating) is about 5,730 years, while uranium-238 has a half-life of approximately 4.5 billion years.
Formula
The relationship between the initial amount of substance

This formula helps calculate how much of a substance remains after a certain period, or the time it takes for a given amount to decay to a certain level.

Half-life is an essential concept in nuclear physics, medicine (e.g., using radioactive tracers), and archaeology (e.g., carbon dating).

Have it in my library, might give it a shot

Just finished HL2 again, fighing against Gunships and Striders is the best part of the game, especally gunships.
Once you start to develop a strategey on how to defeat a gunship with ease, taking them down is very very fun, especally on hard mode (only legends play hard mode).

One of the best games of all time, 1 and 2 are both masterpieces and playing sven coop with my friends is probably the best gaming experience ive had

striders always scared me, especially when they crouch and sprint

striders always scared me, especially when they crouch and sprint

When i was playing HL2 today (the chapter where you fight in the City 17 Rebel vs Combine conflict), i was in this broken concrete building and i was hiding behind some concrete from a Strider, when i stopped hiding i saw the Strider staring directly at me, it's warp cannon was pointed downward, it's entire body was slanted slightly downward, that Strider was literally staring me down despite us being on the same height level.

The story is kino the gameplay is kino
the most kino game ever made

 

[Fagon]

does anyone else stop playing when they get to xen? I've only gone through all of it once.

No, Xen is super short how could you drop it when you get to Xen. The only time I drop play throughs is ones I don't wanna play On a Rail, everything else goes to the end.

half life 1 gemmy
half life 2 niggerbrim

 

[Steve]

I don't remember why On a Rail is so hated

For me its because it kills the pacing of the game, you can go at any speed you wish all game and then you're locked to the speed of the cart for a whole chapter.

Aren’t striders based off from the tripods from war of the worlds?

because it's le bad platform stuff and I want to skip to opposing force lole.

Fun or something, I bought the remake on steam and it's just been rotting in my steam library, do I play it, I'm pretty sure I can't refund either way.
