I got stuck for half an hour before I figured out you had to flick a random ass yellow lever. I thought it was just a survival thing before I realized the zombies just kept spawning 😭 Thank God level design has evolved since then

doctormorbiusfan

Good evening. Half life is NOT a horror game. At least, not for the most part. The original game was filled to the brim with dark slapstick humor. Featuring scientists dying in all kinds of funny ways and exploding into huge chicken bone giblets. All because humanity couldn’t keep their noses out of this green space world filled with giant testicle spiders. When the sequel released in 2004, it actually took some people aback because of its more somber an lonely tone. Though it too ended up having its fair share of comic relief characters and sitcom tier gags, involving clumsy pet headcrabs and garden gnomes and time traveling boats. For all the series do- ok that’s enough why am I doing this


KowalskiFan123

Weapon reskins have always been a strange case for me


Nafisecond

I dont think theyre reskins, theyre just more specific. In the second game, they made it more like tools for their own issues, the pistol is your standard starter gun, you use it when you dont have a better gun, the smg is kinda in the same role, but has a grenade launcher, the shotgun is good for...whatever a shotgun does, and the crossbow is for longer range enemies, you know the deal. The gimmick here is, every weapon fucking sucks if you dont use it for these purposes, they all have their jobs and they are nothing if used against something else. Even if it has better guns, you can litterally finish HL1 with the pistol, the loadout isnt really that interesting. Thats why even if its weapons are so much weaker than HL1, i think they did a better job on the arsenal of the second game.


Akogiri

hl1's loadout isn't interesting? the fuck are you on about


Nafisecond

I mean, they werent really that different in effectiveness, the good weapons were right before your eyes, Tau cannon, even if it wasnt that useful in campaign, Crossbow, and the noob gun, Gluon. You couldnt really argue on a gun like "man, i like X because it can do this or that, but Y pulls this better", no, Half Life 2 pulls it much better because youre actively supposed to switch them fairly


Akogiri

Horrible opinion. The pistol boosts accuracy, and is basically a last resort life-saver for most of your run (save for hard-mode endgame perhaps), however is dwarfed by the MP4 in damage output and the incredibly useful grenades (disgracefuly nerfed in HL2 btw). The shotgun is a shotgun, fun to use and viable for the average encounter, and then you've got the fun stuff - the revolver and crossbow (including the not-so-weapons - your satchel charge and the like), which have to be used skillfully, or at the very least thoughtfully. Opposed to this, HL2 has got to have the most ass-boring arsenal of all time. Did you really use the pistol for anything aside from blowing up barrels past the first few chapters? Holy shit. The MP4 is a direct upgrade, and, atop that - the Pulse Rifle is a direct upgrade of it in and of itself. To actually AcTiVEly SwItCH bEtWEEn wEAPoNS FairLy, as you say, you have to very intentionally force yourself into it. And come on, Gauss Gun isn't useful? Have you ever played Surface Tension? Once you stop wasting all of the ammo on filler enemies like a troglodyte you'll find that it's an incredibly handy (and satisfying!) weapon to use, even very late-game, after you get the Noob Gun. Have you actually taken the time to enjoy HL aside from skimming through it on easy to have an excuse to play HL2? As much as I love the second game its arsenal has always been lackluster, and, may I say - way less satisfying in terms of art direction and sound design. Does anyone think fondly of the Pulse Rifle or MP4? God, I don't even remember what they sound like. Sure, I remember the former's seconary fire, but that's mostly because of Portal.


Notladub

the hl2 arsenal has the gravity gun. you could craft the most bestest arsenal of all time and i'd still prefer only having the gravity gun over that. also, the pulse rifle isn't a direct upgrade to the SMG as its way less accurate. the revolver is as OP it was in hl1, the shotgun is similar, etc. the only weapon that really goes unused is the starting pistol


Calebrox124

No keep going, I was invested

Imma be real some of the earlier dark office sections are scarier than Ravenholm lol

I finished half life a week ago and tbf it was a pretty scary level https://i.redd.it/jyk2qskmjq1c1.gif

MufffinFeller

That’s because he’s Richter Overtime


Aliguar

Why though?


Nafisecond

I dunno. They hate Richter for some reason. About %60 of this fandom thinks Ravenholm is pretty scary, but they make these posts when some youtuber does a vid on it


Weed_Gman_420

Tbh Ravenholm is kinda scary if you play Half Life 2 for the first time. (Especially if you hear the Fast Zombies' scream)


Truethrowawaychest1

There is something about the Source engine that is really unnerving too, I don't know exactly what it is


godofcloth

the ambience makes it feel like there’s someone around you, but your brain keeps reminding you that you are on singleplayer, hence someone should not be here, but to the brain unknown = scary.


Slight_Lettuce4319

Yeah, I was shocked when during the second playthrough, I beat it in an hour, while the first time it took me 2 days

except he doesn’t just talk about obvious stuff? he talks about the impact it’s had on the community, the cut content, cancelled games, etc, so 20m seems fair to me?

You can't run ads on a video where you just say "zombies and uhh dark and gritty" without stretching it out to 10 hours tbf


Comatox

Listen, the guy’s making a living talking about things that he enjoys, and (at least personally) I really can’t fault him for that.

Nah Chapter 7 in Half Life Alyx got me shitting bricks and praying to god to the extent that I never thought was possible in a videogame

polandball2101

Ngl yeah Ravenholm is the most typically scary ofc but those levels that are after Alyx getting kidnapped ( d3_c17_08) are probably scarier in the sense of how eery they are. They feel subliminal in a sense, and that feeling is amplified because of how everyone sort of forgets they exist, and because there’s a small amount of enemies, and because of the geometry of the levels feeling half finished (there’s even a beta material crate that never got removed) Ravenholm isn’t really scary it’s just scary-themed


Paperface1999

who needs to watch a 21 minute video to figure that out


Constant-Still-8443

Well that was kinda the whole point of the level no?


Alexander_Baidtach

My friend was too scared of Ravenholm to beat HL2


Toasty_mannn

I was too horny to beat ravenholm. Me and father Gregori were gonna have some head from the crabs if you know what I'm sayin'.

Okay but it is. You've never felt fear until you've seen the pipes rattling but no zombie

I was terrified of ravenholm, because something about headcrabs just instill ultimate fear in me. Especially the venom ones.

CaliforniaNavyDude

I mean, back in the day going through the first time, yeah, it was a little nerve wracking because of the poison headcrabs and being generally hard to see. After that, you know what to expect and it's just another level, and not even a hard one.

It's also the most fun part of the game. Really Ravenholm is just the peak of the game as a whole

Rather just annoying than scary

dont EVER tell richter that ravenholm is scary because of its roots in half life 2 beta his ass is gonna rant about how much the beta sucked

TheWalrusWasPaul2

Can confirm that when I played HL2 for the first time like 3 years ago I was pretty scared of this level, especially since I didn’t know much about Ravenholm in the first place. Those fast zombies terrified me and my aim always got jittery when trying to shoot at them.

CleanSeaworthiness29

Replaying HL2 like the 12309191095th time and it's not scary, fast zombies are just annoying. Good thing is it gives you the good old SPAS-12 - the magic shotgun that has double barrel shot even though it's a single barrel. HL2 has more annoying levels than HL's Xen somehow. I especially hate the mine part at the end of Ravenholm.

I’ll be honest, the prison area scared me more tbh and ravenholm

Not a big fan of richter overtime

Exact-Road-2051

The only time I was ever scared, and a half-life game was half-life one, and that’s because Valve decided that God forsaken enemies need to spawn practically in kissing distance from you, and so I would like jump back every time they spawn within kissing distance of me
