I've been playing since childhood every couple of years and every time my perception of the game changes and I see it differently, starting to realize something I hadn't even thought about before. This is not a game, these are life stages
@@TheAugeorgfor the first time in my life I went through half life with episodes for the first time at the end of 2018 - beginning of 2019 and since then there has not been a day that I have forgotten it
My favorite level in the game Something about the way the trees are bare and the desolate feel going from ruined house to ruined house and then the epic bridge part It was so fun to play this in 2004
The sound design of the game is so atmopsheric and really gives you that feeling of loneliness, being enslaved by a superior alien race, no hope for the future. This is something you don't see in other games
Yeah. As a sound designer myself i was trully amazed how they managed to input some liminal feeling to its ambience. Like that first time when you go into 'infested flooded' tunnel - that steam pumping and sudden pipe hit used in the way that reminds me of having a deep breath and then holding it. It's industrial, creepy, liminal, terrifying, oddworldly and mezmerizing at the same time. You cant just describe it by the words - You have to feel it Yourself.
You did an excellent job in smoothing over the loop with the wind noise. This feels as if I'm barely tethered to existence. As if I'm very free but also very poor and cold. On the cusp of the world, imagining what things there could be in the fog. A future, perhaps?
This song is laced with the occult, and ripples of interdimensional travel. It is not constrained by genre, and transcends fiction, history and narrative.
The only disappointment on this one is no occasional Razor Train-above noises that'd *REALLY* help with the ambience here, honestly. Otherwise, nice work. :J
i could actually meditate to this, it's so calming yet so ethereal at the same time....the feeling is hard to explain but the ambience captures it perfectly just another reason why HL2 is my favourite game of all time :)
This is the music I would choose to listen to if I was lying on my death bed, knowing it was my last ever time to fall asleep... this music embracing me like death, as I embrace the final unknown...
Diese Atmosphäre, liebe das game , damals zum ersten Mal auf Xbox 360 plus die 2 weiteren Episoden gezockt. Irgendwann muss ich mir das nochmal auf PC holen :,)
Si alguien lee esto, estoy en una búsqueda por una canción relacionada a Half Life, la descargue hace años en Mobogenie, pero esa plataforma cerró, tiene un bajo similar a CPviolation, pero es mas ambiental, lo relaciono con el mapa del puente en half life 2, el tren, la playa. Si alguien conoce o tiene la cancion porfavor responda este mensaje, llevo mucho tiempo buscandola, si la recuerda pero no sabe cual es escribame igualmente.
