A soulslike with Half Life 2 style level design is something I've always dreamed of. this honestly feels like something i'd picture from my imagination, and I genuinely hope more games explore this mix. when the gameplay works in it's moments, it works.
Finally someone uploaded a playthrough of Half-Life 2: Stacker of the First Stair Edition. 40 crashes is miserable, cheers for making it through to the True Stair ending
i just saw an 1 and a half hour video of a dude fortniting his way through all half-life 2 using dark souls characters inside gmod, what a great time to be alive
This is one of the best Gmod videos I have ever seen: dark souls characters crank 90’s and destroy physics in half life. And the animated segment exemplifies the sheer quality of it all (the video not your experiences)
I just finished watching this, and let me say, this was an absolute pleasure to watch. I love Dark Souls and Half-Life, and seeing it brought together like this was fun and goofy yet jank in the most positive way possible. I also love all the memes and references and stuff. It made me feel like we had the same tastes and interests, and I felt very welcome watching. You did a great explaining your process and things you've done, be it oversight or reflection. Really made me feel like I wasn't missing out on anything. I really, really enjoyed this. I know it's probably a lot of work putting out a video of this scale, but I'd totally watch another of these. Videos like this feel very comfy and cozy and, of course, entertaining. I don't know if anyone else would get what I mean, but regardless, incredible video! Great job on it! I'm so glad this was recommended in my feed!
the invisible walls are usually NPC_clip brushes placed there to keep certain npcs in or out. With the "players" technically being npcs you possess, it would make sence for them to collide with it.
missed the chance at 15:50 to name it ''Half Life 2, but it's Dark Souls, but actually it's Garry's Mod and a little bit of death stranding '' and just change the skin for that section.
Following through on such a challenge was a feat on it's own, even if you didn't have to deal with the trials and tribulations of the source engine. But damn it, it made a great video, stairs and all. Long-form content that's clearly had work put into it is always refreshing, and the bits of animation were a great bonus. Well done.
Now imagine the opposite. Gwyn seeing Gordon Freeman backward hopping his way out of the asylum direct to fight him with a crowbar and a missile launcher.
Wow you added so much detail and effort into this video, from the animated sequences to small details like the Dark Souls subtitles! Definitely subbing
I appreciate the OSRS music. Also you sound a lot like AVGN sometimes during rants, so the "That's right, we're gonna cheat" was extra appreciated. Thanks for the masochism!
I think i know what the invisible walls are for Take the tripmine in Nova Prospekt it's something you wouldn't want NPCs to trigger, so the developers put a collision box that wouldn't affect the players There's an invisible wall near the sniper section (i think that was it) where the stair placing was necessary because the devs wanted the combines to stay at the warehouse and not wander out after Gordon if the player runs away
@@lollol5263 yeah probobly then again i do make maps in source, btw what made me think to make that comment was the mines and random walls but maybe im just wrong, idk.
I'd also be willing to bet that some areas have regular player clips in spots that are removed once certain sequences play out. Like when they don't want you to get ahead of Alyx because the rubble is supposed to come down and separate you from her.
Damn, only 2k views? By production value and the editing alone, I thought, I stumbled into some great TH-camr I've never heard about. Great video, great humor, great everything. Good job. You deserve more recognition. As a suggestion on what you could also play: the Dark Souls Prepare to Die edition mod by Inferno Plus, that adds a ton of very well made and functioning Halo 3 weapons and mechanics. I think that would perfectly contrast this video, to make a Halo 3 Dark Souls 1 run. The mod in question is named: "Dark Souls: Remastester Release"
I'm only halfway through, but between having souls brainrot and the PHENOMENAL editing, I'm having a great time watching this absolute jankfest. Thank you for suffering for us in such a unique way, and also making it fun to watch! That takes skill. :)
Listen, someone has remade Half-Life 1 to work with Spyro and Portal 2 to work like Celeste. If someone wasn’t working on a proper version of Dark Souls x Half Life, I’d be surprised
i think the metrocops and stryder attacking you is justified, as imagine your a cop and just see a dude in full knights armor and a big ass sword of course your gonna try to unhand the sword of the dude
This video is so good, it's unbelievable. The topic (I'm biased) The editing, which doesn't get overwhelming neither stale. A perfect balance. And all of its other creative aspects are fantastic as well. It reminds me of simpler times where I'd play through HL2 using all kinds of mods over and over again. As well as playing Synergy HL2 co-op with like ~10 randoms and all the fun and chaos that ensued, similar to what's happening in the video in some way. It's also funny how you don't know any of the loading screen points (skill issue smh) but for me they're burned into my memory from the hundred of playthroughs of the campaign i've done lol. Thank you for this video and I hope you make more!
41:06 i think it would make more sence to just skip it with stairs, because when every loading screen crashes the game, it dosent even carry over the stuff, like pressing that button, so it would have done NOTHING
This is amazing. It probably would've been a bit more easier if mod devs tried moving the actual player alongside with the npc, but i guess it caused issues or something... In any case, awesome video! With this quality of editing i though it had at least 100k views, but only 3k? I definitely with you the very best.
I'd love to see more hl2 playthroughs like this. Playing as these crazy cool nextbots like the Resident Evil or Sonic characters seeing how much of the game is playable with these wildly different playstyles.
The invisible barriers are brushes used to stop npcs from moving across them (eg to stop them from blowing themselves up on mines) and as you are an npc you can’t cross em. Great video tho! Loved watching it!
1:10:29 Actually there IS a mod to add back saving and loading from hl2 into garry's mod,not sure where and how i got it cuz i forgor,but it does exist Edit:its on github but last it was updated was 7 years ago so the mod is kinda ancient,but as far as i'm aware it could still work,haven't actually used it in a while so idk if it does still work
The game's npc clip prevents npcs from accessing certain areas and registers players as npcs when they possess it. The game crashes when hitting a loading screen because the game tries to load a map and it loads a map with saving things, removing it and putting it back and it crashes the game. Hopefully, you will see this comment. Oh yeah you can go through player clip so in this 39:12 you can walk past this wall only if your a npc which player clip doesn't matter only npc clip
just a heads up, the nextbots version of these with the setting where youll teleport to the bot when you leave it tends to work better for story sequences
Knowing a bit more about nextbots now, if I end up doing something like this again in the future, I'll be trying to address some of the noteworthy issues like what you mentioned to make things smoother
