Artifact just seemed.....lazy. If not straight up trolling by Valve (and Gabe specifically).

If you go play the original Half Life now...prepare to be frustrated.

I'll never forget how frustrating parts of that game were.

Bowser 01-22-2019 05:55 PM
Is there a mod online to play it?

And frustrated how? Aged graphics and gameplay compared to recent shooters?

Hammock Parties 01-22-2019 06:37 PM
No. It's just really difficult. Some of the puzzles in how to get from one area to the next are stupid hard. And the AI is smart.

Hammock Parties 01-22-2019 06:38 PM
Don't play the original though.

Play that, then play the original for the ending on Xen.

They never did Xen for the remake.

I've played the Orange Box probably at least ten times (I'm talking Half Life 2 and both episode games). Might have to make it 11, then throw in Portal for old time's sake. (Speaking of, that was part of why I was so giddy waiting for Half Life 3 - supposedly it was going to have the Portal Gun in it. Half Life and Portal combined? Shiiiiiitt.)
2200 for a Dell with a massive 17” monitor. It even had a DVD burner drive! Prices were insane back in 98’-/99’.


The good ol’ Micron/Gateway/Dell/ days. One survived!

Clay is correct, fans made an upgraded graphics version. I don’t think they’ve done Blue Shift or Opposing Force, though.

The good ol' days when you didn't need to have your hand held all the way through the game. You had to just figure shit out. Now you just follow the giant icon on your hud that shows you exactly where to go. Try System Shock 2 and you'll really understand how challenging games used to be.
