The holy trinity of addons has been complete. We can now continue on the the sacred piece, “Half life 2”. Edit: What in the Dr. Robert Magnussen how did I get 300 likes Edit: How in the Eli Vance!? How did I get 500? It wasn’t even a good comment 😂
Not sure how well Half-Life 2 has exactly aged, as the sequel focused a lot more on graphics than the first game, and the loading time is kinda long when you enter a level transition, this goes for other source games as well. I will say that HL2's worldbuilding, story is quite good & I still remember a lot of it, it does introduces a interesting gameplay element here & there, the most interesting is the game's gimmick weapon that you get after the first few chapters.
Fun fact: there was going to be a fourth expansion that would have canonized the team fortress classic characters escorting a scientist through the facility, but it never went past the concept phase as valve didn’t want to work with EA.
Actually you can play Decay in singleplayer. One of the buttons switches between the characters. The actual way you're suppose to unlock the alien levels is via getting all A ranks across all regular Decay missions. Also the PS2 version actually offers USB keyboard and mouse support! It says so on the box!
It's always wonderful to see someone experiencing the games we've grown up with. Keep up the excellent work! You deserve more super chats. I can't wait for you to experience the Source Engine. (Not Goldsrc, which was what the core Half-Life games you've just played used and was basically a quake engine modification; but Valve's own game engine.)
dude thank you so much for the super chat!!! massively appreciate it, seriously 🙏 i actually just recently streamed the first part of HL2 and was blown away by the source engine. The vod is still there if you wanna check it out. Thank you again for the kind words and donation brotha
I grew up with the series... it was the first game I ever played and I spent so much time in the source ecosystem... It's awesome seeing people getting the same feelings I had. You're going to have a loads of fun in the second game.
If you wanna be technical both Team Fortress Classic and Counter Strike 1 are just Half Life 1 mods that Valve decided to buy out and sell at full price. So you could consider them spin-offs
Fun Fact: The PS2 port of Half-Life was only made by Gearbox. Valve was still making Half-Life 2 in 2002. But Valve did a little help with it, I mean "A little". They were still busy doing HL2 And the only screenshot of HL2 Happened in 2002 was the "Free TV's" screenshot. Plus, some of the stuff in the Game and the Half-Life campaign was changed because it was "Hard" on a Controller. Just like the Dreamcast. The changes were was the Suit chargers so you can go near it and Heal's you automatically. HD Models are different to the ones on PC, They can blink and move their fingers. The voice lines were Re-recorded for HD and there was bloopers from the actors. Textures has been changed such as outside of Black Mesa. Yeah, PS2 was very completely different. EDIT: Just like the secret mission where you play as a Vortigaunt. There is another cheat code called "Alien mode" where you can beat the again as a Vortigaunt. No weapons, only zap zap. But, There is this obscure cheat code in Half-Life PS2 called "Uplink". It's just the Half-Life 1 demo called "Half-Life: Uplink" but ported to PS2. They called it a "Mod" for PS2 but it's just a demo. Fans accidentally found Uplink was porting Decay to PC. The only way to play it is to get a DEMO disc from Playstation Magazine, and do a disc swap. Yeah, The PS2 port is weird.
Wow, so much wild & interesting info! This game really is chock full of surprises! Thanks for sharing, dude! 👍 (I just friggin' _love_ game secrets & glitches & development history stuff! 🤩)
I think it may be imo the most replayable game in the series. Achieving higher records after many tries and being able to fight with the marines at any time was so much fun.
Half-Life: Decaying Mental Health edit: dear god his life is gonna be halfed (halved?) 10 times if he plays all the half life games, including lost coast
been such a good time just watching all the Half Life shenanigans occur & I'm stoked we get just a bit more. Also shout out to Bubba for his cards goin too crazy
Remember to do that blitz run through HL1 (easy mode, cheats on if you wish) as a refresher so you get the full effect of the glow-up of the franchise.
Half-Life: Decaying my body. The rot is spreading. I don't have much time. If you're reading this, I'm already dead. The rot has already consumed my legs. But I don't bleed. For my blood has evaporated. Tell my wife I love her. Do not tell her I died painfully.
Your video is hilarious, I had to watch the Half-Life baddies with your lips montage about a dozen times hahaha thank you for these moments, you are having fun with us, for us. Keep going
Ever since the first half life stream I’ve been having a great time seeing your reactions to all this good job man. And now we move on to a game I recently completed and btw kelski if you ever find yourself in the middle of a zombie infested town in the dead of night make sure you explore, but just be careful when interloping into such a place cause more often than not, you are not welcome.
1:10, no sadly gearbox made them, so it doesn't count, and 16:42 this is not the only way to access the levels, the intended way is to beat all 9 missions with an A grade score, which can be quite hard, and there's a lot of mods that let you play as aliens, anyway nice video ! Will watch your HL2 one !
This was interesting to watch i never played the expansions even tho I have them and i also dont have friends so theres that but i enjoyed watching really brought back ptsd of playing with the bros on the ps2 back in the day
17:31 funny you said that because there is such a mod it's creativity named "point of view" there is also mods that makes you play as aliens bee shooters and a headcrab and even a cat
@@kel_ski It was! Really enjoyed it, was initially bummed that you had done this before half life 2 but man! Playing it with controller made this so much more fun to watch!
I don’t know how but you’ve actually made me excited to watch your hl2 playthrough even though I played it years ago, I can’t believe I’m actually excited for something half life related lol. Are you gonna play Black Mesa after you finish hl2 and both episodes?
17:00 well the fans brought us HL1 mods where you play as vorts and headcrabs (I didn't know they probably nabbed the vort mechanics from Decay!) and HL2 mods brought us Entropy Zero 1, 2, and Uprising, which have been super popular.
so, fun fact, we've recently learned that there was going to be a fourth half-life 1 expansion. it would have made the team fortress classic mercs canon to the half-life universe, and it would've been their mission to escort some scientists to another facility/escape. it would've been developed by EA, and the project even had some mild level progress, but Gabe wisely didn't trust EA and pulled the project very early on.
There's a little more Half-Life left! Half-Life Uplink was a demo released shortly after the original game came out. It's short but has original level design and set pieces that would make it a nice send off for GoldSource Half-Life.
I believe beating the campaign with highest grades on all levels unlocks the secret level. Also, there are really good mods for HL1 where you play as Xen monsters, such as Point of View (full-scale campaign as a Vortigaunt) and Zombie Edition (as a headcrab/zombie).
It's interesting that there is a exclusive half-life console expansion that would've been the second one if the dreamcast port didn't get canceled resulting in Blue Shift being brought to PC instead.
just discovered this video and your channel and its hilarious and i will now watch more also you should definitely play black mesa at some point, it is a masterpiece of a remaster
This video is decaying my brain cells, I want to pickup a book now, because I forgot why I clicked on the video (the book is steps to lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease)

i was losing my mind watching the live stream when Lance decided to not use the laser targeter for the RPG in the boss fight. lmao homie was throwing
dude i didn’t even realize because i was so focused, then i saw it while going through the footage… i was stunned 💀

true, but i’m trying to dream 😩
Keep coping hard @@kel_ski
Whets the music just after that ?

we need brain cells to decay 💀
Truly mr @@kel_ski
@@kel_ski play as the Aliens you said??....... well.... Half-Life: Point Of View...... or Half-Life: Zombie E.... or Half-Life: Xen-Warrior....
theirs a high quality mod for HL1 that's called "POV" which is basically an entire story and campaign where you play as a Vort.
i. must. play this.
Maaan I hope a sequel or spinoff (or just a mod with a similar premise) gets made for HL2 someday
@@reptiliannoizezz.413It's funny enough that the second mod that intersects with the POV plot - Azure Sheep - has a Black mesa remake
I'm pretty sure I remember someone making a play through about half life zombie edition. The name is what it says. You play as the crab
@@ayzekpie9432azure sheep sucks

even though decay is a very “unique” checkpoint system, i believe it’s still probably the most fun I’ve had in a co op campaign.
Decay is so underrated
honestly real! i had a lot of fun with this
I think it may be imo the most replayable game in the series. Achieving higher records after many tries and being able to fight with the marines at any time was so much fun.
Love your channel Kelski! Your content is just as entertaining if not more than the other big channels. You deserve much more
I appreciate that my man! Hoping I’ll be up there with the greats soon 🙏
like also being able to play some classic local split screen combat. bro sounding like doctor Mossman with how many words he be using.
Fun fact: gina cross (hologramlady) was meant to be gordon's wife during the development of half life 1
And her body can be found in opposing force

perfect timing now i can fall asleep to this video not calling boring ofc but your video’s are perfect to fall asleep to
Hey was feeling down recently, thanku for making videos bro you helped me cheer up a little, i really appreciate your content bro thanku
Your video is hilarious, I had to watch the Half-Life baddies with your lips montage about a dozen times hahaha thank you for these moments, you are having fun with us, for us. Keep going
Had a blast watching your streams
Alt title: Half-life: Decay is underrated
1:06 sorry Kelsi, no world peace. Gearbox counted to 3.

this seems horrifying 🥲
The stream was a blast to watch, great vid as always. Good job man
I cant wait until HL2 video comes out
(i can wait im wrong)
1:10, no sadly gearbox made them, so it doesn't count, and 16:42 this is not the only way to access the levels, the intended way is to beat all 9 missions with an A grade score, which can be quite hard, and there's a lot of mods that let you play as aliens, anyway nice video !

You and Lance playing remind me of me and my brother playing anything ever, lol.
Thanks Kelski for decaying my lifespan by half 😀😀😀
This was interesting to watch i never played the expansions even tho I have them and i also dont have friends so theres that but i enjoyed watching really brought back ptsd of playing with the bros on the ps2 back in the day
yeah it was awesome doing the split screen haha

2 months after this video came out and nobody noticed in the description "Half Live Sven Co-op"

Wonder how hard the chat will troll Kelski there

Love the man for not missing a single one
The only way i can describe your editing is "if Max0r took his meds"

there is one more. Half Life Uplink. Official demo made from a chapter cut from original game. It's short but pretty good.

I used to play half life on PS2 alot when i was 10yo - 15yo
And i did alot of co-op with my only School friend

Speaking of playing as not humans, have you tried Natural Selection? A mod comfortably nestled somewhere in between Half-Life, AvP and StarCraft.
Well, i heard there WAS idea of making HL expansion in which you play as zombie, but its never really gave any fruit. But there was prototypes.
