I dunno man I am kinda retarded. I am a die hard HL fan and I've been waiting for a new game for 12 fucking years

HL2 was my first ever game

ew

My absolute favourite

Wtf, how old are you?

I kinda hated HL2 ever since it was announced

It required internet for steam

17

Therefore I couldn't play it because no internet

I remember seeing people making a huge deal about some dude in glasses hitting things with a crowbar.

I couldn't care less. My brother pirated it

Later on I learned HL2 (and Vulve's dickery) was the reason why Troika went finally under

Vulve? lol.

And man, I loved troika games. All three of them.

fuck Troika HL2 is the real deal

>all these remasters
>no Soul Reaver

First viddy game I played was some Asteroids clone on the Atari.

Nice

I want HL2 remaster from a perspective of that guy who infiltrated the citadel

Actually technically my first video game was sonic

And sega was my first and only console

I want to pilot those robotic animal-machines

Mine was probably something on the nes, but my dad had a Sinclair Spectrum, good memories playing Manic Miner and Pajamarama with long as fuck load times.

@Spooky Now that was a quality series that managed to have difficult fights, difficult puzzles and eventually a pretty complicated and good story.

HL2 is still my favourite

._. My future wife, i have found you

And the soundtrack is orgasmic

First time I played HL I could not figure out what to do in the alien world and gave up

There were no walkthroughs back then

And I didn't know you had to punch Ⓔ on three mushroom things

So that's that

Yeah, and you'd know a guy who knew a guy who had an uncle with a book of cheat codes, and you'd feel like you had the fucking Alexander library in your hands when you got access to it.

Ah, the times before the internet

Time to "learn" Ukrainian

When the entire village ran the same copy of starcraft from the same badly burned cd and you knew that because nobody had a copy where the last terran campaign mission worked

KEK

Those were the days. Especially getting your hands on something new.

Honestly, internet made it easy to get games and made them widespread but at the same time it made it really hard for people to get as invested in them and for those games to become cult classics as easily.

I don't think starcraft or Diablo II would make it so big if they had the same kind of internet back then that we do

Yeah, there was definitely something more aesthetically comfy about it. Nowadays, when a game comes out, it's nigh instantly datamined and all its secrets are out, and I kinda miss the slow burn that games had with everybody trying to work together.

I for one dont miss discs breaking

Only one of mine ever did
