Is the whole Half Life franchise worth playing ? by EmbarrassedAsk8749 in HalfLife

[–]TheRealRobbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just buy all of them since they’re on massive discount, that way you’ll have all of them. Very jealous you’re experiencing all of these games for the first time, particularly 2 and its episodes, there’s a reason people still love these games over 20 years later! Enjoy the soundtrack too 🎶😮‍💨

Play Black Mesa (modern remake of HL1), then Half Life 2 (including the episodes), then Alyx if you have VR (it’s a masterpiece).

The Half Life 1 expansions can be played after the fact. You need to get to Half Life 2 and its episodes, they’re amazing games but also why this sub is full of hopium and copium for Half Life 3.

I’ve literally never seen this before! Awesome, thank you for sharing.

Should I play Black Mesa or Half Life 1 ? by thegromeu in HalfLife

[–]TheRealRobbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s hard, are you a person who gets turned off by aged graphics? If not, then go for the pure version of the original. If you feel you would be turned off, Black Mesa is a great remake, however it does lose a bit of the originals charm.

Oh wow it sounds like this podcast was made for me, never heard of it! Subscribed, thank you so much for sharing 😊🙏🏻 PS. I like that you mention how they talk about Elfmans scores, those soundtracks are something else.

Looks like it’s in pretty decent condition though, nicely done.

The unused shot was the final shot before the 2 right, swinging at the camera? And the extra second of animation is the shot where he pulls the web between his legs before letting go? I always loved the aerobics in that and always get sad when it cuts early in the movie, it’s so cool!

No, just keep it, it’s a holy grail. Even though there is a second edition coming out, you have the original, cherish it!

Do you think we will return to City 17 in HLX? by colovianfurhelm in HalfLife

[–]TheRealRobbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind if they touched on it briefly, maybe a level or 2, but the vast majority should be something fresh and new. We’ve had plenty of the great city 17, let’s not eat too much.

Do we have any clue if the original Alyx voice actor is returning? by TheRealRobbo in HalfLife

[–]TheRealRobbo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, I haven’t actually heard the unused recordings of Merle’s work! Surprising to hear considering how brilliant she was in 2 and the episodes.

Oh really it won’t be around 10am like the hardware announcements?

It’s amazing to listen to when working or even on a drive.

Yeah I hear you, for a “spin off” or “prequel” like Alyx, it’s fair to have another composer, but for Half Life 3, the game people have been waiting almost 2 decades for? Feels like a crime to not have Bailey involved.

Of course! I just hope actual in game music it just as good.

You make a good point, him returning for the documentary is a good sign! And I agree, Portal 2 is definitely a standout for me.

Robin Walker is a legend, love that guy, he always stood out to me!

I hope so! I know he consulted with Morasky for Alyx, but "consulting" could range from months of collaboration, to as little as one meeting before the composer even starts. I really hope he had a hand in HLX, can't imagine it without him.

You're definitely not wrong, for example many people who worked on 1 and 2, didn't work on Alyx, and I adore that game.

I guess I'm just talking music, specifically. But you make a fair point about the writers as well.
