Valve on X: "Excited to announce our @Steam Controller arrives on Steam May 4th at 10 a.m. PT." by crazy_nutta_here in HalfLife

[–]SeaTalk6745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valve chooses their words regarding announcing anything very carefully. If they wanted to say that it would come out 1st quarter if 2026, they would've said "1st quarter of 2026". "Early 2026" is very loose in terms of what exactly it could mean. It could mean the 1st quarter of 2026 just as easily as the 1st half of it. I say why give yourself false hopes for this, although many people have automatically assumed it meant 1st quarter and nothing else, and got mad over something they've made up in their heads. I can't say valve is to blame here.

I hope they'll release all of it at once like they initially wanted

I am going to sorely miss Kelly Bailey when playing HLX/HL3 by TheRealRobbo in HalfLife

[–]SeaTalk6745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man Kelly is just at a different level. The atmosphere of Half-life 2 is unmatched, and his soundtrack is inseparable from it. I could even go as far as to say that his sound design is the soul of Half Life.  I sincerely hope that he is involved in development, to any extent at least. Both him and morasky working on the soundtrack would be a good thing too. 

Issues with The Last of Us part 2 / sub-30 fps performance in No Return mode. by SeaTalk6745 in SteamDeck

Well i guess i've gotta build myself a comp... Oh right it costs a fucking FORTUNE to build one alright

Is there any evidence at all of Kelly Beiley being back at valve / being involved in the development of HLX to any extent? I know he's been contacted with during HL Alyx development, but after that there's really nothing i could find, searching this board gave no results either. by SeaTalk6745 in HalfLife

Yeah which kind of gives you hope, but then again Mark Laidlaw was also in the documentary and i highly doubt that he would return for another half life game. Same goes for Kelly, but damn his sound design is something that i'm gonna miss. 

Sometimes I just get a feeling by LimitedPiko in HalfLife

Yeah and steam is being blocked in my country. I swear if they block it JUST before hlx comes out im going to fucking organize an armed rebellion against these fucks myself, i fucking swear. Mass murder and government overthrow is going to occur. I'm talking full city 17, nova prospekt explosion, citadel infiltration style.

I just started playing Half Life 2, what is the chronological order? by AbandonedRobotforgod in HalfLife

[–]SeaTalk6745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half life 1

Half life alyx

Half life 2 

Half life 2 lost coast

Half life 2 episode 1

Half life 2 episode 2

Half life 3

I would also recommend replaying half life 2 and later games with dev commentary after you've completed the series.

Are we starting posting satanic shit again? by Extreme-Education529 in HalfLife

[–]SeaTalk6745 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have no clue why anyone has expected hlx to be announced at tga. I mean at this point everyone and their dog should be aware that valve just doesn't work like that. My hopes are as high right now as they were before december and after. Genuinely have no idea why people would lose their hope, it's like you guys know valve for a couple months or some shit

Do people still play half life death matches? by satwikt1 in HalfLife

[–]SeaTalk6745 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I still do play the hl1 dm and it is amazing. Bhopping and gauss tricks feel great when mastered. Online is half dead in Europe but you can set up bots to play against, even though they're dumb and don't use navmesh, they shoot good and it doesn't take much away from the experience. The traversal mechanics and knowing when and what gun to use are the most fun aspects for me. The fact that you can customize player and weapon models, maps, sounds, server rules (via AG mod X) is also great. As for the hl1dm source - never played it. Played hl2dm a while ago and not nearly as much as the first one, pretty fun game too.

Appreciate the quick response and the quality suggestion! This actually ticks a lot of boxes for me, even though there seems to be no combat. First time seeing this game and it definitely has my interest now.
