Half Life 2 | OG Xbox | 1440p | Longplay Full Game Walkthrough No Commentary
127Yes, it took me over 9 hours to complete, first real, blind playthrough, and I got lost too many times. :))
Full game walkthrough of Half Life 2, the Xbox release that came out a year after the PC version, on Novemeber 2005. Played on modded OG Xbox. Recorded in 1440p30 in high bitrate.
Thanks to everyone for watching my longplay and for reading my bullshiet down here, please do consider leaving that Like and perhaps subscribing to the chanell!
Do I really have to present this game?
I will just say a few things about the Xbox port. To fit a Source engine game onto a 733 MHz CPU and a Geforce 3 equivalent GPU, is pretty much a miracle. And yet, thanks to EA (surprised?) it came to life. Although heavily stripped down visually, down to a bare minimum of textures and models, the core of the game is 100% there (except for multiplayer). It is the same Half Life 2 as on Steam. It runs at 640x480 progressive, with the non-anamorphic widescreen (it definitely doesnt look like a real 16:9 though) mode enabled by default, and uhhh some serious performance issues, especially when psychics and explosions go off. Oh, and the loadings were atrocious, but expected for the Xbox. It apparently was the cost, or sacrifice, to bring this game to a 2001 console, and I applaud the devs for it anyway. FPS varies between 17-25 fps mostly, 30 fps only in the open areas with not much stuff happening, or in small, indoor areas. Input latency was a problem even without my 5$ recording hardware, so yeah, I sucked a dick heavily during the gameplay. It felt like playing an FPS on 200ms ping, and with a gamepad. Yeah.
All in all I really enjoyed the walkthrough, but it took me TOO DAMN LONG, and my mental was starting doing acrobatics. But that's the consequence of playing almost fully blind, on an Xbox gamepad, in 20 constant fps, and with my great spacial awareness. So pls dont hate, I was mad as shit at myself too at that point. :DD
