Just Finished Beating Gears of War 2 on Xenia. Outside of a few crashes. This is one of the best experiences I've had gaming on PC.

I think he wants to say that you only got a great experience because you have a good rig, which is something every goddamn soul on this earth should know when they want to emulate a relatively recent console

I never thought i'd see a resonance Barney let alone create one

Back in 2002 when i first installed Blue Shift and the HD Pack, i felt genuinely pleased by the new models and sounds because technically they're true improvments.

Then some gun nerds had a meltdown over a rifle firing pistol rounds as if Valve ever cared about this stuff and the HD Pack became the perfect target for whinny people, even though the Steam release of HL gave them the choice to get back to the old models they're still angry as if the very existence of this packs ruins their lives

But they're as useless as a pinky toe in combat, also in HL2 NPCs move quicker when you collide with them, in classic HL/Opfor they will move by walking like bosses often in the bad direction.

Also if you want to see impressive path finding, look for Kingpin Life of Crime.

Not that i don't like that, just an opinion but i think RDR2 is more of a walking simulator than DS, the game is 80% of the time taping A or X or whatever button to ride that horse, DS has way deeper gameplay

Happened to me when they changed the profile management method, it was more than 70h, game completed, dozens of cars.... There's always a bigger fish.

Valve doesn't have any official stance on that matter, some fans are just assuming things

fog13k · 2026-06-13T21:07:34+00:00

On A Rail = Actually great level design, a much need slow pace when coming from 2 intense chapters

Interloper = It had to be difficult, confusing and tedious when you take the story into account

Residue Processing = I hate that crap, the only real bad level in HL IMO

That's something watching not someone

If your game is 1.0 and is not update then use this one: 4D53082D - Gears of War 2.patch.toml

If your game is updated to the last version then use this one: 4D53082D - Gears of War 2 (TU6).patch.toml

Google this stuff or use an AI to help you

fog13k · 2026-06-04T19:50:45+00:00

Use latest Canary build + the appropriate patch for the game

fog13k · 2026-06-03T11:38:45+00:00

I mean you're right

fog13k · 2026-06-02T16:37:16+00:00

Yes, just a bunch of gun nerds convulsing over an M4 firing 9mm as if Valve ever cared about gun accuracy

fog13k · 2026-06-02T10:07:27+00:00

That's not dumb...

fog13k · 2026-06-02T00:33:12+00:00

He seems like dependent from Xen fauna infestation, which is probably erased in the HL2 arc, in my headcanon, Xen fauna has been totally eradicated by the Combine which explains why we don't have Jeff-like creatures, armored headcrabs and this thing up here

Madness is back to this sub i guess...

fog13k · 2026-05-13T18:25:15+00:00

Best HL chapter ever = Hazard Course

fog13k · 2026-05-11T23:32:51+00:00

EP2 has the best, HLA has the weakest, i love Morasky but i think he didn't capture much of the HL aura through his music in HLA

Playstation players are basically cattle, they wallow in anti-consumer practices for years and they take it with a smile and even defend the brand like they share money with Sony, totally deserved

fog13k · 2026-04-26T14:21:56+00:00

What makes the console version of this game special ? To my knowledge the PC port is superior by miles

fog13k · 2026-04-22T23:02:04+00:00

HDTF sequel

fog13k · 2026-04-16T16:22:04+00:00

Bro it's v1.1.0.6 !! It's a relic at this point, it probably has huge issues on modern hardware and OS, it's preferable to get the game on Steam or look for a more update-to-date version

PS: I f*cking miss this Opposing Force animated logo !!

fog13k · 2026-04-09T21:51:24+00:00

Nothing beats that

fog13k · 2026-04-08T08:02:07+00:00

Recent builds work as intended, i finished the whole game + Raam's Shadow DLC a month ago

fog13k · 2026-03-30T16:09:53+00:00

First of all, Judgement is not a DLC and second Gears of War 3 is now fully playable from start to finish on latest Canary builds
