0:25 yeah no joke I remember watching alyx run into the combine crossroads over and over again like it was the best idea ever. Upside is when I became faster and smarter than the ai to save alyx I felt a little accomplished.
All other main character NPCs including Kleiner and Eli have actually good ragdoll physics while Alyx, especially in Episode Two has very bad physics (no proper limits and unrealistic poses)
@@anueutsuho7425 It's not really different physics but different bone structure and how much each bone can move and turn, etc. If you play gmod you know how stiff most of the HL2 ragdolls are.
8:19 In the leaked beta, these wood structures were built with phys_contraints (welds) and didn't do this. These kind of physics structures were in other maps aswell, but were changed for performance reasons. This specific map contains a lot of beta stuff and physics contraptions like the lift in the hall and the blocked off doors, because this map was mostly unchanged from the beta.
Combine a naturally like this as they have a code called sacrifice where they are to ignore their own self care and move in regardless of their own health
In Half-Life 2, there's some text like "Subject terminated, failed to preserve mission-critical assets" when something of importance is lost permanently, but if Alyx dies in Episode 1, it just says "Alyx Died" lol
9:38 This is a very good thing because it reduces load time for the main menu. On the xbox 360, regular maps may take ~10 seconds to load which valve decided isn't very good for a main menu.
I love how they didn't even try to come up with any new fail dialogue for episode one, it's just "Alyx Died". Thank god ep2 implemented some more fitting ones. Also the reason why you cant kill the gunship early at the end of highway 17 is because when a gunship's ai is disabled, (either through ai disable or the game storing an npc out of bounds waiting to be used) you can see that it moves down a bit when struck by a rocket. (could be in regular gameplay, but a gunship moves too much to tell)
afaik that was done because the gman is trapped by the vortigaunts, its supposed to imply that the death screens with subject are canon and made by gman himself
0:24 I remember a playthrough where I would follow Alyx as she intends, as she got to the stair well down the corner the moment she pokes her head around 2 shotgun guards storming down the stairs give her a buckshot mouthwash at point blank at the same time and she flew back and hit the back wall.
Once on that bit in the citadel with Alyx and the see-through blue bridges, Alyx attempted to jump onto the bridge when it wasn't there, floated in the air for a few seconds, and then fell and died.
9:46 he says "note that i already covered instances of this in the episodes in the episodes episode, so this will only include the ones in half-life 2"
I wanted to share this fact since a friend of mine didn't know you could do this. So in Nova Prospekt if you bring all the turrets (or maybe even one turret) to the room where you meet Eli and Mossman the turrets will fire at both of them. Mossman is invincible however Eli can die if he gets shot by the turrets causing the game to softlock. However you can get past the soft lock by killing Eli as he gets lifted up by the teleporter. Figure it would fit in the series
i tried bringing every friendly turret in nova prospekt to the end and for some reason, the older turrets started trying to shoot mossman and eli, eventually killing them. I think i was using HL2 update but im not sure
Yes, in my experience of bringing all the friendly turrets to the end like 3 times, the turrets attack Mossman but only in the part where alyx talks to her about betraying the resistance, when they are in the teleporter map the turrets stop attacking Mossman, also a bug I noticed is that sometimes the old turrets will stop having the ability of standing back up, and instead if they fall they will be destroyed like the enemy turrets.
heres one ive found, you can buffer a shot with the shotgun only but holding down r and hold down the shoot button after youve shot once for bit, then release shoot and you should reload and shoot without pressing the shoot key. sorry for the bad explaination hard to explain over text

Is there a video comparison?
@@thebiggestcauldron I don't think so but you can experiment in gmod
Huh, didn't know different ragdolls had different physics. I thought they all followed the same gravity.

if you move your rockets correctly, then isn't it technically possible to kill the gunship

Its cuz they are both ragdolls in the same engine

i knew that, too
also this basically skips you to ep2
you should re-re-record next year since i've forgot everything i saw and probably will forget the next year.
thats infinite content! amazing!
I listen to your videos when going to the store or to college. The nostalgia packed with interesting info calms me
The Grigori clone repeating "ah there you are" over and over gives me "Hello Gordon!" vibes
