This game acts constantly as a reminder: carefully designed innovative linear games can be as much or even more immersive than stretched open worlds sunken in an ocean of mundane filler missions.
@@dragonslayer9671Of course, it's an extremely influential title, especially for the dev community. I've seen a documentary about the game with interviews of Valve's stuff and of some external collaborators. The most interesting part was about Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator. Essentially, it is one of the typical tools of Source Engine or any similar engine given, implemented as an in-game weapon/tool. It was the early '00s, devs from other studios was telling them that it' s a paranoiac idea to give such power(s) to gamers.
Aside from the storyline just the gameplay mechanics were also top-notch and still are. Compared to other games you feel so much more freedom in the Half-Life 2 universe. Almost every object you see can be picked up and thrown. Gravity just works how it's supposed to. Everything reacts as you think it should. Even in games today this is not always the case, but certainly at the time when most levels were just static 3d models this was groundbreaking. I can't think of a game that was so far ahead of everyone else on the moment it was released.
@@takkiejakkie5458 I still remember that HL2 was incomprehensible for my h/c CS-GO friends. They couldn't even understand the reason to have physics, environmental story-telling and puzzles in FPS games.
I beat Half Life 1 when I was just a teen. That was a decades ago. When I watch HL2 as an adult in 2023, it feel like a stress induce game. I remember Goredan Freeman saved the human race by defeating the best soldiers send by Mesha and deadly aliens from other dimensions. In HL 2, you're a prisoner. The game didn't explain how the legendary Goredan Freeman end up being there. 10:37 Worst you need to be saved by a girl who took down 3 guards.
@@mateturmainze8659 oh my god dude, do you understand what I meant when i said its almost 20 years. like if a person is 98 they are almost 100. my goodness
When me and my friends saw a trailer of this game for the first time after downloaded 7mb file in 15 mins with dial-up connection, we were shocked by it's graphics. Wow look at the water!! Looks so real. Such excitement. 😄
@@binkaram6577 What you reminded me now! I also downloaded a huge ROM of KOF2001 on a 56K dialup in the very hot summer of 2001 for my birthday to play on the emulators of the time! Yeah I was a poor uni student that couldn't afford the XBOX SNK ports! :D It took me all night and was even using a download manager tool to resume in case the line was dropped! Oh the nostalgia! :D LoL!
I love this game so much, I keep coming back to it after all these years. The writing, the music, the atmosphere, hell even the graphics of source games are so good. I love how gritty the textures are.
played this game over 15 years ago. it's been do deeply etched in my memory that I still remember every twist and turn. and what a joy it is to revisit it again!
I remember how for 20 years I had goosebumps from every moment in the game. What was the physics of water worth when I first boarded a wooden boat at the beginning of the game
I felt the same way! Those first few suit chargers that he walked past... I started shouted at the screen, "Do you not understand or are you just THAT confident?!?!?!?!
What are people even talking about i am so disappointed i played Half Life one about 8 years ago, And played HF2 about 3 years ago, And for me Half life 1 is way better, Here its just you fighting dudes with guns the aliens have no place in the game and its too short, I thought i still had a lot of time for the ending or last fight but bruh i was like an just a few steps away from it boring game Half Life 1 is way better
I remember thinking back in the day playing this how amazing the sequels would be and how great modern sequels would look with modern graphics. So sad this franchise died :(
I like watching these no word playthroughs of games I never had the opportunity to play but have been curious about. I like the adventure of the unknown. I like how the game has a vibe of its own. And that soundtrack is so good. Nice playthrough 👍
It's about a physics guy, not exactly the nerdy type since his grades weren't the best but he still knew stuff well. So he uses a electronic suit(normally used for protection against disasters) to battle aliens, alien monsters, soldiers, militia. And it has lots of physics based puzzles. Also, he battles human soldiers/militia cuz the world was invaded and conquered by aliens. They now control the human world and want him dead and send the whole militia on his tail. He's a fugitive and works with some rebels . He has a cool suit which gives his armor, speed, flash light, a helper robot voice,targeting, inventory management, warns him of radiation(you hear ticking in the background and I think the robot gocie also warns you ) . It also warns of when he's poisoned and gives him a serum against it. It also gives him morphine if he's too wounded and then warns him about how bad his wounds specifically are . It's just good. I also think the suit can tap in the radio channels of people so he can hear soldiers and militia talking and so whatever intention they have.
every steam newcomer/new user MUST or atleast have play, or played 1 defining valve title from steam HL2 is that exception of "you straight up MUST play this" and its why i love it so much. ahh just remembering the days of my intel UHD 620 cpu putting in work missed those days alot
The game starts off so mundane, you couldnt imagine the diverse and immersive joy of an adrenaline rush to come as you prgress through the game, so imaginative...such an enjoyable progression...awesome story...characters...weapons!!...etc.
We played Half Life in computer science class every single day growing up 😂 Never got to play HL2 sadly. This is my first time watching it 😅 It’s crazy how well these graphics and gameplay still hold up till this day
1:07 where is Chell and Wheatley? Why weren't they with Gordon being transported to city 17, helping Gordon fighting the combine, going through ravenholm, saving Eli vance from nova prospekt, confronting Dr Breen, evacuating citizens and escaping from city 17, going through white forest, talking to dr Magnuson about the Magnuson devices to use against the striders and hunters, and helping Eli vance to rescue alyx from the g-mans stasis bubble and finding Judith at the Borealis? Where were they during the events of half life 2, its episodes, and half life alyx. They would be great resistance soldiers. Wheatley can help the resistance members use ideas that can defeat the combine and chell can be a great partner with Gordon and can use her portal gun to fight them.
Love this game bro, i played this when i was 9 just here to watch the full thing because i never read the dialogues and also forgot some of the missions.
I'm playing this masterpiece again and I'm so happy! ❤️ 💻 I also love the first Half-Life.

Pozdravujem zo Slovenska. Tiež som začal natáčať túto hru ,som nejaká časť cca 8. Hraj som ju i pred 19 rokmi. Áno, hrám už vyše 20 rokov hry na PC. Naša hra je odlišná. Ja som chcel nájsť skrýše a splniť výzvy /chalange/, archideventy. A nájsť skrýše Lambda. Batériu pri bráne kde sú 3X bateria som tiež našiel inde./ pod vaňou 😀/. Viem ešte by sa tá hra dala zahrať lepšie ako som hral. Možno po skončení ju prejdem znova a pokúsim sa nájsť čím viac skrýše. Poznáš to : hráš ,adrenalín, šetriš si HP a veci prehliadneš 🤔. Niekto sa čuduje prečo viac nerozprávame pri hre. No keď sa potrebuješ sústrediť, tak ono stále hovoriť je nanič .😉
*_Half-Life 4: Nightmare_* - wish I wanted to see as a "Horror Adventure game" (not FPS), but with only 4 guns: crowbar (main weapon), electro-gun (secondary), pistol (as third) and edged (cutted shotgun as fourth). O, what will be amazing game
