I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Remember, there's a VR mod for it and it's amazing:

Was hoping for a $50 dollar coupon that I could apply to a game I don't already own.

Nice! Someone in my Steam family already had it, but I might as well add it to my account directly.

Thanks, Valve, but I've had it on Steam since 2004.

I've checked it out.
4.5gb update
it merges HL2, ep1, ep2 and lost coast all into one package selectable from main menu.
There is also an option to enable classic graphical effects. Maybe that's pre ep2 hl2 look.
Strange there is still no option to disable health/ammo on crosshair. I could swear I played it without that in 2004?

I can't imagine if it's a good or a bad game to somone who would play it now for the first time.
I know it's an incredible game for me. Possibly best game ever. but I remember waiting for it and playing it on release and replaying ever since... so who knows,

Shows what they think of the game. Would of been perfect time for hl3 announcement.

Brings back memories of how up in arms the community was over the Steam requirement for HL2. Good times.

Half-Life 2 is the greatest FPS of all time.
Half-Life 1 isn't even in the top 10.

Nice. I haven't owned this.
Pirated this as a kid and never bothered finishing it.

I figured I'd get around to finally playing them whenever the series was concluded, either with Half Life 3 or Episode 3. Whoops

Really nice changes and polish. Excited to try it. Half life 2 has been in a pretty sorry state for years, and the change list seems to fix most of what I remember being bugged from engine updates through the years.

Believe it or not, a lot of kids refer to HL as the skibidi dude game.

If Valve thinks this makes up for killing the physical game PC market they can kiss my balls.

I don’t. Only just bought a steam deck. Is it any good?

I gave it a try for 30 minutes, but it doesn’t feel like my kind of game. I don’t think I'll be picking it up again.
The old-school feel didn’t grab me like I hoped. Guess not every classic is for everyone!

Not the YouTuber
Because the software was absolute junk at the time and was still junk for a good 5+ years, I bought HL2 retail in big box like we all did back then and the community did not want a single bar of this except it was a forced requirement.
Everyone ended up giving in and now people own nothing because of it, and I stopped buying PC games from that point onwards.
My steam account would be two decades old and have 6 games on it or something.

What do you think was different between the games and why was it disappointing compared to HL1?

Wonder why Valve doesnt release a Remaster, of HL1 and Orange Box to modern consoles.
Surely it would sell a good few million between PS5, Xbox, Switch. Been since 360/PS3 days for most these games

Now that's the worst take I've ever seen about video games.
Pack it up boys.

What time is it?
I think it is paced incredibly poorly which makes it hard for repeat playthroughs. I prefer the enemy encounter design of the original overall. HL2 has some great highpoints but too much downtime in-between. I understand the fondness for it as the physics are often used very well and that was novel at the time (hell, maybe even novel now), but it certainly didn't change my expectations of what a FPS could be like the original.

bruh you said this about Half life fucking 2.
you have no power over me lol
Yes, I did. Your point? I didn't say Half Life 2 was bad, merely disappointing compared to the original. I don't need power over you as you do a great job embarrassing yourself with your unironic love of a...let's be charitable...not so great game.

At this point. Everyone else hates that game more than I love it. You might’ve noticed that I never invoke it first.
It’s a good 7/10 game. Nothing less nothing more. It’s you guys who couldn’t deal with someone liking the game, that you couldn’t look past the memes and enjoy on its own merit.
Whatever buddy. Let’s move on back to half life 2
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
