Why did you choose the game?
Should extra episodes better had been part of the main game?
2.5?

Why did you choose the game? It has been my favorite game for a long time now, and still is.
Should extra episodes better had been part of the main game? Well, the only new episode that should be announced of course, is 3.
2.5? Nah, I don't see what they could do with that, just jump to 3.

It's a shame, I doubt we will ever see 3.

What do you got against the second one?

Maybe you could do the KYG on Half Life 1

 

[fatsquirrel]

What do you got against the second one?

No no no, don't get me wrong. I love it. But the first one (and its mods) made my childhood special and is in my opinion one of the most groundbreaking games in the history.
The amount of memories I have playing that game is just wow...I actually still play original CS at least once every week

You funny man, I barely get through buying groceries in the local store with my conversational skills, let alone do an interview.

I sadly was not lucky enough to grow up with it. I eventually got to experience the first one on the PS2. I loved it. Although, I never beat it. The PS2 had a notorious glitch where Gonarch would not drop down to the final section of his fight. Because of that, I could never beat it. I didn't have any save backups that would allow me to restart the fight.

Speaking of HL1, has anybody here played it on the dreamcast?

I thought the Dreamcast version never got released?

 

[Deleted User]

I thought the Dreamcast version never got released?

Yeah it didn't, I just saw a person a long time ago playing it on his dreamcast maybe via homebrew or something. Just wondering if anybody else did.

Holy shit thats a massive bug Oo
Honestly I didnt even know it was released on the PS2 and I know my shit when it comes to games

If you can find the iso/rom and if you actually have a Dreamcast, you would be able to play it quite easily. (I could be wrong ->) The Dreamcast allowed users to play CD's on it. Using a specific exploit, you could burn a game on a disk and play it on the Dreamcast.

Although the PS2 version had some MASSIVE BUGS (no joke) it did have a cool split screen campaign mode called "Half Life Decay" and a "Head to Head" Versus mode. It was pretty cool.
The multiplayer campaign however is BRUTAL though.

 

[rikumax25!]

Has it grown good with the time?
Replay value?

 

[Deleted User]

Has it grown good with the time? Very. I can still play it to this day
Replay value? I am currectly trying to finish EP1 again for the 3rd time. I've completed HL2 tons of times, I've streamed it and made a playthrough on youtube. TONS of replay value

I did like you could play it solo, I think select to switch charecters and it had usb keyboard + mouse support.

You really had no idea about it?
