Both 1 and 2 are shit and incredibly over rated by the people that like them. Boring level design, getting all the collectibles in each level is tedious, the controls and physics aren't good, entire game over all just feels slow, I could go on. If it wasn't Pac-Man these games wouldn't be remembered at all. I'd rather play just about any other 3D platformer of the era over it.

Anubis Rex (the 2nd boss) was the worst part of an already enjoyable game, the fucker was brutal and the running platform mechanic malfunctioned frequently.

if you have been around retro gaming for 10+ years you kind of already knew that it wasn't the best game ever . I remember a guy who moved to Japan going through and playing a bunch of untranslated games and rating them and saying this one wasnt all what it was cracked up to be.

just played through halflife and its expansions over the weekend, now im digging into the mods

Currently playing Gunman Chronicles which was a mod released as a real game and then abandoned back into mod status. Maybe one of the first mods to be sold as a real game, well before the steam store popularized the idea. and its good

what are some of your favorite HL mods? preferrable single player campaigns but as thread op ill allow you to be nostalgic about your favorite multiplayer mods too.

Sven Coop has a semi decent population even nowadays but not like super massive or anything, the problem is however that a lot of the more popular servers these days have stupid gimmicks going on like everything killing you in one hit, having xp mods that utterly trivialize maps, or something like that. Very hit or miss tbqh

Loved this game, but the sweats on it were fatal to the community. People abusing exploits out the ass just to dab on the 30 or 40 some players who played it.

The "behind you, behind you" audio clip the headcrabs play lives rent free in my head.

Gunman Chronicles is fucking awesome and I love the last chapter that is basically like a sci-fi old western.

Afraid of Monsters:DC will always be the best to me. Its shame the creator is a pedo and the spiritual successor Cry of Fear was such a bad game.

I fucking loved Poke646 and its sequel.

Half-Life: Echos is probably the closest to retail quality HL1 expansion you are ever going to find, although it leans a bit too much on ambitious scripted sequences sometimes.

What do you mean what was it like? You could still do it now without the rerelease. The thing that sucked about OG SS2 coop is that the audiologs don't play, and they're some of the best parts of the game.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/866570/System_Shock_2_25th_Anniversary_Remaster/

With the rerelease, you just have proper online.
>>
Can't speak for the remaster, but I did play through SS2 co-op with a friend over Hamachi back in the day.

The game was clearly not designed or balanced around more than one player. You both get the same cybermodules whenever either one of you pick up cybermodules, but that is the only thing in the entire game where both players get the item. Everything else in-game will have to be divided up between the two of you. Ammo, healing items, armor, weapons, everything. So if you both wanted to rock assault rifles and grenade launchers, have fun getting enough ammo for the both of you.
>>
>>12642282
>run out of ammo
>keep doing banzai charges with the wrench, constantly dying and respawning
>>
>>12642498
I should mention the other half of the game not being balanced around more than one player. Even on the hardest difficulty, it makes the game much easier since you can throw out twice the firepower and down enemies much quicker, as well as attack enemies from behind while they are busy dealing with the other player. Even ninjas are less of a pain to deal with since you can catch them in a crossfire.
I guess maybe you can both go PSI an have a more challenging game, but Army+Navy will have no challenge pushing through.

>>12642282
A fucking hilarious mess, but I only did it with like 4 other retards who had no idea how to play the game for the lols. Back when we used to grief gmod servers or I would host sven coop servers for Facepunch and we would play sv_horsecock7 with a million different playermodels

There is an optional boss you can't fight and some possible random crashes too, especially against Loa in the late game. Set an autosave savestate to every 15 mins.

Unreal Tournament 99, between the ps2 and pc versions.

Maybe uhhh Doom if you count playing wads. Quake might be around 90 or 100 hours too.
Diablo 2 obviously, you aren't a gamer if you haven't.

Thats it though. My 100+ hour games only came when Orange Box came out and I think that doesnt count as /vr/
>>
actually you know what, I definitely put over 100 hours in Vice City as a kid.
