Brian Lawler Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Sneaking on a rooftop at night and hearing the headcrabs scurrying up the drainpipes to attack you. Still an unsurpassed horror/suspense experience in gaming IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip - To date I think, nothing has come close to HalfLife game universe, in my view anyway. Its got something very unique about it, the atmosphere etc. I would really love if NETFLIX or other streamer picked up an option to actually make a series or a movie out of it. I would say it would attract a big audience 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I would play this stuff, but tendinitis stops me. Even so, I send over emails to my son to play, so thanks Lamia6! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried Alien Isolation? A different genre of game to be sure, but it is really atmospheric. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep an eye out for that one. It certainly looks like a good one to play late at night when the cat jumps into my lap from the shadows. Starfield is still sucking down my gaming time lately. It's not immersive, but I am a fan of a lot of Bethesda stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than a dollar savings, a tiny upgrade path. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have retail box versions of this, Opposing Force, Blue Shift and HL2. But I don't have a t-shirt. I'm envious :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudopop Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) I think this was the first game I had ever played where I was an active participant in the introductory cut scene. It was amazing. 12 hours ago, aidan o driscoll said: I would really love if NETFLIX or other streamer picked up an option to actually make a series or a movie out of it. I would say it would attract a big audience I bet you I would hate the end result, because they would approach it from the "how to squeeze as much money out of this as possible" mindset. Two rants about the current trend in movie/tv industry, which I found both interesting: This one is a bit long-winded for my taste, but it raises some interesting points: Edited November 18, 2023 by pseudopop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 These games also have plenty of mods. https://www.moddb.com/ Unfortunately the recent Half-Life requires "gaming goggles" which I will never support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
