Thread 12132036

Big day today, Freeman.

>>12132036 (OP)
What was the point in allowing you to kill scientists? Was it low key trying to be an immersive sim?

>>12133962
Did you see the HL1 documentary Valve put out? When they get to Gabe Newell, he talks about how part of designing HL1 was making sure the world reacts to the player. He doesn't talk about killing scientists, but it stands to reason the world reacting to the player includes shooting or crowbaring a scientist to death.

>>12133962
But you game over when you kill scientists.

>>12134023
Only in the beginning section

>>12132036 (OP)
I see wifey let you out of the cuck chair today

Do you know who ate all the donuts?

>>12133978
I had so much fun as a kid just messing with the microwaves and ruining the scientists lunch

ARE you insane?

They're waiting for you Gordon, in the test chamberrrrrrrrrr.

>>12134216
Wifey got a case of the headcrabs hehhehe

>>12133962
It "low-key" tried to simulate a lot of bullshit that the player will never take notice of or care about, like cockroach ai and NPCs having "smell systems" where Barney says "peeUU!! yucky stink!" when he walks near a corpse.
The goal was of this was sell sensational stories to journalists, who would report on this "deep" foray into simulation of fauna and human senses, all in Gabe's goal of astroturfing Half-Life as the peak PC game of All-Time so they could get customers to set up more Steam profiles on their developing app.

i like the thing the scientists do in game where their mouths move any time they operate on machines like the doors
it's like they're making the beeping sounds themselves

Go take your alzhiemer's medications, gramps.

This term did not exist until this year.

GO, RETARD

>>12136934
i like how in morrowind, anytime you start a daedra quest, the daedras voice actually comes from your own player character
still not entirely sure if that was a design choice, or just a convenient way to get the audio sample to play within the engine

>>12137742
This we used to call them an ImSim which should for "I'm sure it's make-believe" because the game were notorious for their unrealistic settings. It was only recently corrupted ImSims to mean immersive simulations because they're morons and believe everything they see on a computer screen is like real life. Like, come on, "I'm going to prevent some wizard from taking over the world by....stealing some silverware." What kind of asshole finds that an immersive simulation lol.

>>12137436
Half Life is the ultimate pussy game, bitches love that shit.

>>12137742
>This term did not exist until this year.
are you white?

>>12137742
People have been calling Deus Ex an immersive sim for 15 years now

>>12137742
>I did not hear of this term until this year.
ftfy

>>12138653
>I did not hear this term til it was coined
Yeah kind of how language and time work, bud

Why do they make us wear these ridiculous ties?

>>12134023
Only the ones needed to progress.

Are any of the scientists based on actual irl people?

>>12139395
the one in op is based off Oppenheimer

>>12139398
he don't even look like that movie

>>12134582
I really don't know. But I've got these delicious crunchy crystals!

>>12134296
yeah we'll be a regular bluntman and chronic

>>12136934
Not every time. Monsters do emit sounds during animations, but there is some old leftovers in the engine with some sounds in the model animations marked with asterisk. In this case the engine should not precache the sound and play it directly from the disk. For some reason engine ignores the channel set by modeller and plays the sound via voice channel.

The ziggers on Dvach called the series bad

Does Valve need to come up with HL3 to make people like HL2 again or something?

>>12141029
no idea what you're talking about

>>12141032
Valve needs to learn how to finish their bullshit already.

stem fags don't know how to dress themselves

>>12146368
This shit is so true. My brother teaches calculus and his signature look is that he tucks his sweater into his shorts.

GORDON DOESN'T NEED TO HEAR ALL THIS, HE'S A HIGHLY TRAINED PROFESSIONAL

Tell the anti hl2 gaylo fag to kill himself already.

>>12137805
It's communicated to you through your thoughts/in your mind. If it were coming from another fixed point in the map, whenever you moved, the audio would change (as you rotate or distance yourself from it). Making it come from your own character is logical

>>12133962
>low key
Fuck off to blue sky troon.

>>12148141
Who shit in your flakes today? Was it that no good rascal, Gordon?

>>12148143
You don't fucking talk to me like that.

>schizo still crying and samefagging in the other thread
Sad

>>12148681
Valve really brings em in.

>>12132036 (OP)
Shut up you dumb old guy

>>12141032
>>12143051
Come on guys, it's obvious that Gaben ate HL3 and all the donuts, coffee cups, and even crunchy crystals. Why do you think he's so fat?

>>12148681
>the people who seethe over hl the most are halofags
Good to know

>>12150849
There was an interview with him where he admits that all he eats are snowdogs

>>12147428
your brother sounds based

>>12150853
Half Life games and retro Halo games are both GOAT shooters.

>>12151134
There can be only one

>>12133962
All fps from this era were heading in that direction trying to outdo each other with immersive features like physics and npc ai, then at some point it just changed to slightly improved graphics.

Only women look decent when they get on ozempic. For some reason every single man who does it looks uncanny and weird i.e. Alex Jones.

>>12154824
ther's nothing weird about Alex jones

>>12133962
go back you volt green haired troonigan

>>12155309
His whole appeal is being weird. He's fat again so he looks normal. But on ozempic the dude looked freaky.

>>12155373
>appeal

>>12132036 (OP)
What's that supposed to mean, big day today? You trying to see my cock?

>>12151121
The only thing I can really fault him for is that he liked abusing animals when we were kids. He raped our mom's parrot.

>>12149794
Half Life is the Thomas the Tank Engine of vidya

>>12132036 (OP)
Sounds like somebody's Cologuard came in the mail today!

Kill Half Life faggots

>>12158750
That's out of line.

>>12137191
That ain't me.

DO YOU SUCK DICKS

>>12159786
SIR NO SIR

>>12154731
He looks like if John Goodman had a kid that was a nerdy looking soi boy that grew up to be a dorky adult
You think he's low T?

>>12160778
Why do you post on 4chan? Or play videogames? Or use the internet for anything other social media?

>>12160794
Not sure why you're avoiding the question.
Are you low T?

>>12159715
I ain't no fortunate son!

bumping because of the sega faggot spammer!

>>12136625
STEAM didn't exist when Half Life 1 released, retarded turbo-nigger faggot.

>>12134843
That's an achievement in Black Mesa

>12133962
>Okay Gordon, with my BRAIN and your BRAWN we'll make an excellent team!
Gordon is an MIT graduate with P.h.D in theoretical physics. imagine some douchebag scientist you're trying to save proclaims himself as the brain in the duo just because you use guns and stuff. I would shoot the scientists too
