The voice acting alone is absolutely bonkers
>>724239309FULLY
I especially like Gordon Freemans voice actor
>>724239309the lighting is honestly more impressive. they had "fake hdr" in 2004 that actually looks like real hdr today now because we have real hdr displays.
>>724239309what is this expression meant to convey
>>724239309Dead Space never got the recognition it deserved.
>>724241201when the episode 2 was released hdr was that blinding effect when you leave a dark room and enter a sun lit placesomehow the modern definition of hdr is gay display brightness something
>>724239309
>>724242113no they went through the effort to add "fake hdr". half life lost coast was all about it. monitors/displays couldnt get bright enough but you could fake it using gpu tricks. oblivion did the same thing too in 2006.today you dont need "fake hdr" because the displays can get really really really bright. every pixel on oled is a dimming zone and light.
>>724239309Worse as FPS games than Halo.
>>724239309>The voice acting alone is absolutely bonkersLook, I love half-life 2 as much as anybody but every character speaks to you like you're 9 years old.Actually, it's impressive how family friendly hl2 is despite dealing with dark shit. Like nobody swears. Sex is basically never mentioned unless we're talking about the suppression field. Any other edgy mid-2000's dev would've had the rebels looting and raping eachother instead of helping freeman.
>>724239309imagine if valve dipped their toes in the VN market
Dishonored SekiroMax payne Portal
>>724242851wow, imagine a fun and engaging game that is also wholesome in it's own right..they don't make em like they used to
>>724239309Wasn't it also a tech demo for their facial expression technology? Which lead to all the SFM porn we had for the longest time.>>724239749That's me. Thank you for appreciating my work.>>724242975Didn't the VA for TF2 soldier die?
>>724242091Thats because it went to shit after the first game. 2 is just glorified bioshock. God I was so disappointed in that game after playing the kino which is 1.
>>724245873This. The first Deadspace is one of my favorite games of that generation too. Isaac's voice acting was a mistake, they leaned too hard into action set pieces, and I lost count of how many times I was stuck in a room, or elevator, or platform with no cover with enemies streaming in. Boring bullshit game
>>724239749His sprint sound is kino.
>>724244807>Quirk Chungus the video gameYou know it's true that HL2 inspired the millennial soi slop writing we have today.
>>724246451yeah but 2 lets you stomp on bodies while Isaac goes>SHIT>FUCK>GOD DAMN IT
>>724239309SSSIII SVEGLI MISTER FREEMAN, SSIII SVEGLI
>>724246584hey thanks for coming on over from reddit! so what's YOUR 10/10 game faggot?
Actual, genuine, immortal 10/10 kino. I wonder how many hours I have put into it over the last 25 years.
>>724245152>Didn't the VA for TF2 soldier die?a voiced VN about tf2 would be silly given both teams have identical counterparts the other valve properties would be better suited
>>724248504Literally the only correct answer ITT.
>>724247905Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
>>724239309The single most overrated game in the history of vidya. A corridor shooter built of rebar and concrete. Should've been a youtube miniseries.
HL1 is better than 2 so that alone means 2 cannot be a 10/10 game.
>>724239723>FERNED
>>724244807To play the game you must submit. The first few times I played it I turned it off at the part with the can. >pick up the can? >fuck youThe only reason I picked up the can was to analyze the propaganda. It's the gayest most Masonic faggotry I've ever played and every character in the game us "a bad guy". The civilians are just tools and talking points that Freeman and friends make decisions for without regard for their opinion on it. It's about submission and Masonry. It always sucked. All the mods for it got turned into stand alone games. Gmod is a fucking copycat of entmod for HL1 that was also a free mod like Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, Pirates Vikings Knights, Blue Shift, Opposing Forces, and basically every single game in Valve's catalog. Valve is the worst company to have ever existed and have only produced 1 game that is worth talking about. It is only worth talking about because of the mods also. If Counter-Strike and all those other games never existed nobody would know what "Valve" is. Mods that other people created are why Valve is talked about, not because Valve produced great games. You're all retarded.
>>724246451If there's something I'll always disagree with is that Isaac being given a voice was a bad idea, especially with how important he becomes in 2, how he's shown as absolutely pissed because he won't be left alone and how he constantly has to interact with Stross and Ellie, while in 1 Remake he is the one putting ideas on the table to repair the ship because he is, in fact, the goddamn engineer of the team.>Stick around, I'm full of bad ideas.
