Any other Half-Life fans on CC? Anonymous 32822

Favorite GoldSrc/Source Engine game/mod?
The original Half-Life was what convinced me I liked videogames. I still remember getting a copy of it from Goodwill, confident that my dad's office PC would be able to run something this old and it could! That started me down the first (and last) good rabbithole the internet has to offer.

The Specialists will always be my favorite. But lets be real, Source's only lasting contribution to society is all the porn.

I disagree. Their games have had staying power.
I guarantee if Valve announced Half-Life 3 tomorrow it would still be an industry rupturing event even today.

If Half-Life 3 were announced, it would be because Based Winter Sales Man finally came out of his cave after 15 years, not because people fondly remember the games. Remember a new HL came out just a couple years ago and nobody cared.

Half-Life's real legacy is making games more boring. Before the first game, twitch shooters like Quake were the norm. HL1 was lauded for it's immersive, atmospheric storytelling experience, which really just meant long stretches were the player doesn't do anything.

It would be hyped indefinitely regardless of how true this is (it's not)

Alyx is the most universally approved VR game. It had a small player base relative to the other 2 games because anybody with a single transistor in their house can run them and you need a proper gaming PC and a VR headset to play it, but even for such a limited player base, headsets were sold out everywhere after its release. It is still after 3 years considered THE PCVR game.

25 years of people repeating this and it's still not true.

So this was the game where all those gmod memes came from

Is there a way to play HL Alyx non-VR-ly? I wonder how they're now going to pull off future games' storyline considering the whole ending of Alyx.

>non-VR-ly
A mod for that probably exists already somewhere.

Well, Gordon would probably go alone on his journey then, and that means they won't have to worry about making a good ally AI. With Alyx scooped up, I can see it going two ways: either Gordon somehow saves her, or the G-Man deploys here somewhere so she could save Gordon.

It's not going to be enjoyable without VR.
>I wonder how they're now going to pull off future games' storyline considering the whole ending of Alyx.
I hope at this point they go with a story change up as drastic as the one between 1 and 2 was foe the next game. I don't really care about the Borealis at this point.

there's non vr mods but there's no point to doing so
unlike most vr games alyx was designed with the unique playstyle in mind so a lot of the action has to do with you making the motions yourself
you don't need a valve vr to run it though, any headset connected to your pc will do
