Rage-quitting Half-Life (Stream Archive)
7Things don't always go right. I'd skip this one.
Seriously, though? What a janky mess that turned out to be. I expected it to be painful, but I didn't expect to fail so miserably. Far worse than I remember. Gordon handles like the puck on an air hockey table, the hitboxes for enemies don't work, the game teaches you that jumping into water kills you only to then require you to jump into water, then promptly soft-locks.
I was glad of the last one because it meant I could quit. If your game soft-locks me, I don't play it. Still, what could you reasonably expect from a game made by a marketing firm?
The stream continued for a time with no real direction or anything because I was sufficiently irritated to forget my contingency plan - in fact I still don't remember it, only that I did have one.
I hate this stream enough that I actually considered unlisting it. However, it stays as I don't generally believe in covering things up or projecting a false image. Things happen as they happen, good or bad.
