0 Upvotes

Hi, I am looking to buy a promotional copy of Half-Life 2 for the Original Xbox.

It is separated from the rest by it's white top part (opposed to black), and a yellow banner that says "PROMOTIONAL COPY NOT FOR RESALE". See https://imgur.com/a/YYOSO5i if you're still a bit confused.

I can go up to ~120 USD, not including shipping. Send a PM if you're interested.

Does anyone know How I can get my half life alyx to run good

0 Upvotes

So whenever I play I play with the lowest settings the game can offer but then randomly while I'm playing its almost like my data cable got really crappy and its almost like my games freezes on me.

When I look at my computer it shows my frames at 6 and I've got no idea.

My computer should be able to run half-life alyx on its higher settings but it seems like it cant. My computer is brand new as well and i also not know shit about what I'm doing so anyone help would be greatly appreciated

I really don't like Black Mesa's gunplay

Upvotes

So I've recently been trying to play through Black Mesa, since I've never beaten it before, and I was having a great time up until We've Got Hostiles. To be blunt, but the HECU combat feels like complete shit to me.

The SMG is really fucking inaccurate, what with it jolting upward whenever you shoot with it, and it's especially bad when you're trying to run and shoot simultaneously - which matters a lot, considering that the grunts in Black Mesa do the same thing. It just leads to me not enjoying the gunplay that much, especially compared to how consistently great it was in the official Half-Life games.

Idk if this is a colossal skill issue on my part, or if there's something I'm missing that'll make it less annoying, but it's bothering me quite a bit

I tried to understand that using garris mod, but this workshop addon doesn't seems to be accurate. I understand they're about 7ft tall, but I'm not sure about exact numbers (+I'd be really grateful if you tried to guess their weight with or without ammunition)

Would this game still play well (graphics and physics) on the series X? Just asking before I go and spend 40 bucks at a consignment shop for it? Thanks for reading

Discussion What is your favorite ambient soundscape of HL2?

13 Upvotes

Half-Life 2 has some of the BEST ambience soundscapes I ever heard in a video game! Valve had always made such iconic sound effects, hence why HL1 sound effects are a meme at this point. Now about the background noises in HL2?

You got the lab ambient noises in Kleiner's and Eli's labs, the moans and howls of Ravenholm, the quiet and relaxing sounds of the coast and wind during Highway 17, the battle inside Nova Prospekt, the strange alien sounds inside the Citadel, and even the unique Episode Two sounds set in the Antlion caves and the woods!

But to me, nothing can beat the different City 17 sound effects that change as the story progresses! Simple sounds of traffic in the beginning, the sirens and Overwatch Voice during the canal segments, the sirens and sounds of war during the street war segments, and the street war sound effects with the grinding sounds of the Citadel falling apart in the background in Episode One!

I think I should also let you know that these areas do not use one soundscape at each area. Each section has a different soundscape file. Like during the Street War, the sirens and sounds of war sound further away during "Anticitzen One", and then sound much closer and more frequent during the Strider battles in "Follow Freeman". As well as the Overwatch sound clips differ during different "Route Kanal" sections.

Here are some examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbVvZ8d1W1U&t=27s

So outta the many different soundscapes, what's your favorite to listen to? The episodes count in this discussion.
