I still think Half-Life 2 holds up, but admittedly it's somewhat flawed and the guns and the AI are probably the two biggest issues. The latter wouldn't even be so much so if it wasn't for Valve's level design. HL1 was all tightly scripted corridors, but 2 tries to be more open with its level layouts and due to this, the AI doesn't get effective chokepoints or cover, let alone routes to flank you with. This results in a lot of standing still or running in a straight line instead of doing interesting things, with the occasional grenade toss and mass rush at your location with shotgun soldiers thrown in. But hey, content, very much related: Minerva Metastasis, the Half-Life 2 mod. I imagine most people are aware of it since it's a drat good standalone mod made by a guy who got hired by Valve for it (to work on monetization schemes probably) and effectively demonstrates the Combine AI in an environment they can use. Nothing's changed with the actual code, but thanks to far smarter level design, the soldiers are actually an effective threat and instead of essentially being a minor nuisance in the game require some thinking and strategy from the player to figure out how to best deal with them. Plus the actual mod is pretty cool too beyond just the level design, which obviously helps. I recommend playing it to anyone who owns HL2 (so pretty much everyone at this point), but it is still just Half-Life 2's basic mechanics so yeah. Keep that in mind.

I cannot second this enough. The level design is truly spectacular, bridging non-linear play areas like you might find in Deus Ex with Valve's typical highly railroaded level design to make something special out of two seemingly incompatible things. The levels themselves do not comprise that much area on a grid but they feel quite large, the space is very well used. Really, if you haven't played this, do it.

The game even softly tutorializes this with the gravity gun in Nova Prospekt. Come to think of it, why does that video work? I have held barrels in front of me with my "arms" or the gravity gun plenty of times blocking enemy LOS and they still shoot at me. Weird.

The turret-wielding ai is programmed so that it only shoots you when it can see you and there's nothing in the way, otherwise it'd just be firing into the wall endlessly. Holding up the jar of providence breaks that ai because it's extremely simple "if can see Freeman, shoot gun" code. Notice that the enemy starts shooting at him just fine even with the thing in the way once it gets off the turret.

I remember there was some SMOD revival but then that broke too. It's been a while though. Maybe there has been advancements.

I SUPER loving HATE THE OBSESSION WITH SHOWING TEETH BETWEEN LIPS AAAAAAAAAAAGH ...I know it's an odd pet peeve, but I remember a bunch of random Sims modding stuff where they painted teeth onto the lips because they wanted that look. I don't understand it, and it is irritating the things they do to make it happen.

I was about to say that I had seen this article posted here in the thread before, but then I noticed that the tweet was dated today, so I was confused. The article, though is from nearly a year ago (Feb 16, 2017). Again, I ask: What would posses a person to write an article about this and interview the creator?

Well, you see, Patrick Klepek is an idiot edit: But making articles about weird and sometimes silly poo poo like that and playing it totally straight is 75% of waypoint so it's not that out of the ordinary for them. They recently posted an article about a forced feminization fanfic of 9S from nier automata because lets just fuckin throw quality and journalistic integrity out the window why not further edit: https://twitter.com/waypoint/status/946156702331752449 to be fair though, nobody else liked it either so CJacobs fucked around with this message at 09:06 on Jan 16, 2018 |

CJacobs posted:Well, you see, Patrick Klepek is an idiot  See, what I can't understand about Klepek is that in this situation shown above, he's adverse to seeing nudity (which isn't actually shown in Y0), but then he turns around and wants to interview a guy about his mod that adds masturbation routines to Stardew Valley. Like if Waypoint wants to covers mods that do goofy stuff, that's fine, but it feels like there's an inconsistency about it.

I still don't know how people can say BC2 took itself too seriously. I guess just because the overall plot was "idiots stop the bad guy from ending the world" instead of "idiots try to steal some gold" (even though its more than that too). The characters are still there, you get a Vietnam-era hippy peacenik helicopter pilot, and everyone is convinced to finally save the day at the end because of Texas cheerleaders
