Valve can avoid making a “3” by just making all their sequels at once and putting them in “The Orange Box 2”
Wow
VALVE HIRE THIS MAN AT ONCE PLZ!
How about, Half Life 2 Episode 2 Part 2?
Half life 3 with portal 3 and left for dead 3 and it tf3
I would love a orange box 2.
Should've made it a 3 part video and never release the final video.
This is too brilliant.
me227 thank you for that 😂
Better yet: finish up the series with _Source 2013... 5 years later_ (Portal 2, CSGO, Dota 2), followed by a cheap April Fool's Day prank.
Kek
This is so mean yet brilliant xD
“So we have this game he-“
“You wanna make it in the source engine?”
You know he’s new to tf2 when he says the backburner is better than stock and uses the persian persuader with normal demoman
demoknight tf2
Jtzkb it’s really not worth 50 ammo per airblast
Jtzkb One of the most mained classes is soldier, explosives are common and it’s rare to see a game without a single explosive class
@@Jtzkb you need airblast to put people out of fire. Literally everyone would be grateful tp you if you put them out of fire in that one fight near control point.
@@Jtzkb they are running away not because they don't want to but because they don't expect you to do it. That doesn't mean and excuses you not to do it.
Something I noticed in Half-Life 2 is that some citizens have cuts in their clothing and scars on the backs of their heads due to Manhacks being used to keep them in line. The attention to detail is... honestly still impressive after all these years.
Holy shit I never saw this
Dang for 2004 this game was and always will be phenomenal
@@realmug I'm talking about the ones with the blue denim looking jackets.
@@realmug I think a more apropriate term for them would be "dissidents".
Were the manhacks used to keep them in line?
Great video. Absolute props for doing proper under the hood research on TF2 both casually and competitively, a choice not enough out of the loop creators choose to do.
FUNKe Oh hello.
Yo, Funke. How you living?
Gibbe more tf2 (or jojo) pls
What did he mean TF2 plagurized Overwatch?? in What?
Yeah, that's right
Half-life fans: we’ve been waiting for half life 3 for over 20 years
Tf2 fans: there are aimbot bots in every official server and we haven’t gotten a major update since 2019
Portal fans: we died but it’s not too bad
Over 20 years? 17 years at best, but actually 14 years beacause Ep. 2 was released in 2007
Actually the last major update tf2 got was in 2017, yep 4 years without a update
As a portal fan: Yep. We died, but it was a pretty final conclusion. I'm okay with it.
@@dr.3998 tbh its better if it doesn’t continue. The game is done. The story is finished with a satisfying conclusion (except for weathly getting stuck in space). The devs are probably satisfied too. I think a portal 1 and 2 remake on source 2 and vr port for both games will be better.
@@Oddgamer0917 You're right. Though I've heard that they were interested to make a vr portal, but it had too much motion sickness.
Some of the houses you could enter on Highway 17 had great atmosphere. Something about the way the houses were out in the middle of nowhere, slightly dilapidated, and probably only had a couple people living in them really made you feel what the citizens of this new world felt. One of the houses (the one with the burning corpses outside) gave me really ominous vibes. The way there is barely anything in the house in the way of food, the fact that there is nothing in the way of entertainment for those living there. It really felt bleak and hopeless, and set the tone for the game spectacularly.
You are so right dude
Seeing how cool the Orange Box was together makes me wish that Steam didn't become their man focus, even though it makes complete sense from a business standpoint. Valve made some great games. Awesome video
MandaloreGaming Love your videos Mandalore!
I don't know about steam but you sure as hell have a man focus as you are in fact a homosexual.
MandaloreGaming big fan of jour videos
I, too, wish that Steam didn't become their man focus.
(Just because I'm a big fan doesn't mean I'm not a cunt)
MandaloreGaming well its not like they stoped working on things, they are just working on innovations instead of making new games, yhea its sad but steam VR and the steam controller werent easy side projects either, so im ok with it
Seriously though this is my favorite vid of yours. Amazing work mate.
Skill Up, but Skillup. The video is over an hour long and you posted this comment 45 mins ago! Love ya shit m8
Check mate, mate
Too bad you block people over jokes
Oh shit the aussies are in the house hahaha
One note about freeman’s backstory,
You could be a wonderfully decorated engineer and still be reduced to wearing a suit and pushing carts. The ivory tower of academia will reduced those without proper experience in the field to grunts, especially if the project is as ground breaking as what Gordon was working on.
Ask your scientist friend. They’ll tell you all about it.
Well yeah, without expierence they don't know what they're doing
I mean, no? Such jobs are typically given to lab techs and some professors undergrad students. Their qualifications are much different from those of engineers. And 'academics in ivory towers hating engineers' is a tired trope at this point, since most academics are actively teaching engineers alongside their core subjects and often have to work with them in industrial sectors. I haven't met a scientist who is so openly dismissive towards engineers since they have to rely on them for helping them out in projects/writing papers. At the most, I have seen some of them consider engineering and non theoretical fields to be a poor choice for whom they consider intelligent.
@@ronbali3429 Forgive me, I know only a few engineers and they all work in the field. I imagine it could be different from science to science.
What I do know is a plethora of life-scientists. I believe it must very lab to lab, because my ex roommate was a published biologist specializing in botany. She's a doctor now and still is forced to do field work. Her direct only has her masters and works in the indoor lab, but since she already spent her 5-odd years as a field grunt, hunting down samples 4 hours a day.
I can confirm, did a Diamond Cubic Crystal BvK model fit and what I did was not the theory but instead the coding with next to no background knowledge on BvK while minimal at best knowledge on phonon dispersion.
@@ronbali3429I see it like astronauts. Astronauts aren’t at the top of the ladder it when to comes to space traversal. They don’t design he rockets or perform the equations needed to make it all possible. Yet they’re still very very educated and are expected to do the grunt work and out their neck on the line.
There are tasks that require very educated people to do very risky things. And so that’s what Gordon is. He’s very educated and needs to be on site to manage this project. It can’t be handed off to an assistant or student or anyone else. They need a top mind in the room at the moment, in case anything goes wrong.
I come from the future. I think Valve might have finally learnt how to count to 3
Nope but they showed that they can say names
@@slinky1277 the ending implies more than that
the name Alyx is not the number 3
MR JOESTAR
calling alyx the third game is like calling the hobbit lotr 4
but they still can, they released more gun 3
"More barren than a nun's porn collection."
These are the metaphors that matter folks.
where did he say that?
@@Kingofdinner no, it's a metaphor.
Similies use the words "like" or "as"
AnduRo 12:41
@@Nmille98 nah I'm pretty sure that's a simile. Similes are directly comparative, metaphors say that a thing is something else to give an implied comparison.
Since this statement compared the barrenness to a nun's porn collection, it's a simile. If he'd said that it WAS a nun's porn collection (thereby implying that it's non existent), that would have been a metaphor.
That metaphor didn't really work, tbh, but you get the idea, if it's comparing it to something else it's a simile. Than is also a comparative word, same as 'like' or 'as'
Well... theres sinner Susan she has that name for a reason
I saw you in my stream and I remembered you made this video. good one.
my favourite part of these games is that you have total freedom of control over your character. no cutscenes where you have to basically just let go of the keyboard and step away from the desk, no animations where you get your control taken away from you, it felt like a very bare metal raw player-to-character connection.
A break time of sorts during which you can backwards bunnyhop out of the map, righ?
you are still walking linear hallways from one invisible trigger to another. there is no control. making proper cutscenes is just more expensive and would allow player to skip the travesty of a story half-life 2 has.
@@solitudesf8111 it is a bit gimmicky but what makes it a travesty in your eyes?
DeSinc w
Solitude SF that’s just like, your opinion man
imagine if the gaming community, Valve and the FBI tried to arrest a hacker today, *it would be memed to shit*
it’s never to late to *MEME*
Came here from NakeyJakey, was seriously surprised by your willingness to point out legitimate criticisms of the games and give an honest opinion rather than just an hour long nostalgia-driven compliment fest. Great video- watched it through and through, and in a year or two, I'll be back to watch it again. Got yourself a subscriber, that's for sure.
In which video Jakey recommends this video? I'd like to rewatch it.
@@abcdeikaI know it’s been 9 months but the video is “valve has changed”
That final line made me tear up a bit.
"Valve were known for their results. And now, they're known for their business. Grateful for the results, I don't hate them... I miss them..."
2ndLieutenantBadger god bless
why am i crying in the club rn
"I don't hate them... I miss them..." And right after those lines "I want you gone" music kicks in, lol.
Yeah, that hit me too. Quite a meaningful line. Reminds me of all the games that have spawned from their engines. (Like Science and Industry)
"Mr Gaben I dont feel so good"

I had never played much of Valve’s games, but I decided to finally play the Orange Box in 2019. One of the best gaming decisions I ever made. Now I’m a die-hard Half-Life fan.
Congrats
My condolences.

I hadn't even heard of the Orange Box when I saw it in Best Buy on black Friday. I looked at it and thought, "Well, I don't know what Portal is. Hey, isn't Team Fortress a Quake mod? Whatever; it says it's five games and they're practically giving it away."
I bought it and Bioshock that day for peanuts. No regrets.
That might be one of the best video game hauls in history
Yes 101
I can tell from your reaction to Team Fortress 2 that you are a man of culture as well

if you play pyro as support, airblast is the most valuable thing, reflecting rockets, grenades from demo, and even spies or ubered enemies, putting out teammates on fire etc
"Were it to have transitions like No Man's Sky..."
Well, Shammy pretty much asked for it
Stop victim blaming that poor owl
'Tis true.
Swan I love how there’s a group on TH-cam that watches all these review channels
Like, there's the group that watches them, and the people that make them have their own group. It's a really nice way to bring people together, I find.
"Airblast is an ability I use once every few lives" Jesus Christ, way to expose yourself as a noob Lucas
I know, right?
I mean if not for lag messing with my ability to time airblasts...
I run the gambit from 50ms-350ms ping(airblast isn't lag compensated).
Then factor in the different rocket launchers differing projectile speeds too?

Bro I’ve been going thru your vids and it stunned me when I saw you are only at 500k like bro where’s your gold play button. Your documentaries are astounding
The flow of the videos are so smooth, it keeps my attention hooked and before I know it I’m 1hr deep.
You deserve more
The Orange box single handedly got me into REAL PC gaming in 2008. Was only $20 and got me (reluctantly!) invested in steam to this day. It still stands as the greatest game bundle of all time.
I just got it for about 3 canadian bucks.

One of my favorite things about Team Fortress 2 is that most of the time your mistakes are not devistating unlike many other multiplayer games
I'm a TF2 player and I'm sad that Valve almost never updated it anymore. The amazing community is still carrying the game for a decade though so that's good
The way GLaDOS referenced how the combine have taken over gave me chills (51:59)
Where's that moment (and I don't mean the audio, I mean the video) from?
@Mr Edgy Yes it is, after the third core is detatched in the glados fight
it's called GLaDOS_escape_02_spheredestroy4-02.wav
@@NicDoesDumbThings I was asking about the video, not the audio. I mean that part where he's clearly walking out of the facility, is that in Portal (is it some sort of alternate ending)? is that a mod? What the hell is that?
@@tximinoman it's from a mod
@@CamC159 Awesome, do you happen to know the name of the mod? Thanks!
This was UNBELIEVABLE. I'm so happy for you being able to get this monster out there. Amazing work dude.

You review is so precise
Thanks for all these memories, done the game multiple times, you're so right on so much aspects ^^
Every video on this channel is so good I end up watching most on repeat about once a year. Working through them again is a great escape from all the stress of the real world at the moment :).
The story of how Gabe employed all of the original Portal devs on the spot is always amazing to hear
Jackie Chan and he said to make this game on the source engine... 15 minutes into the presentation
Back when Valve still cared about games and their fans. Makes me sad.
valve 2007: lets make 3 games into 1 disc
valve 2019: why make a game when you can sell other peoples?
They're making games again
@In K no, in some interviews they have said they're already working on other games, and we don't know anything about the plot yet for HLA. Theres speculation that it could tie into the 3rd game (by time travel) because there's audio files for 2 different Alyx's, and even then, the fact that it's vr doesn't detract from the fact that it *is* a new game from valve. I'd rather have something than nothing
I selled my wife for internet connection
@@CrazyGamer1541 it's also speculated there's 2 other vr games coming from them, one being left 4 dead vr and the other is unknown.

13:43 The Spas 12 shotgun has two modes it can be pump fired or auto so there is a reason that the combine can fire that fast.
Then why can’t Gordon fire his shotgun semi auto?
This is one of the few videos I've watched entirely that has a length like this, good job.
Imagine going to prison for 10 years after playing half life 2 and coming out of prison just to find it still doesn't exist
That intro was fucking god-like
"Vortal-Combat" just has that +100 badass factor
Any Half-Life soundtrack has a badass factor of +100
Ahh I thought it was Sector Sweep for a second. God I was much into this game and it's soundtrack. DOOM 2016 and it's soundtrack is giving me this same feeling I had years ago with HL2 as well. the good ol' times.
The Antlion defense part in Episode 2 always gives me goosebumps once Vortal Combat kicks in. It's the kind of song that just makes you want to get right up in the action and blow up some fucking bugs.
The song inspires you to pick up your shotgun, SMG, and throw some mines at some bugs.
Man, that Episode 2 ending is so chilling. Reminds of how empty I felt at the end of Twin Peaks: The Return
The orange box changed my life, love those games and everything based on source engine
It's so incredibly surreal that I used to (sort of) know you back in the day when we were both doing Let's Plays and trying to one-up Gamespot and IGN with our heavily edited game reviews. Very cool to see you're still going strong a whopping seven years later with great video-game related content.
There's your channel! I lost track of it back in the day. Glad to see you're keeping the drumming alive!
Raycevick Haha thanks dude! Still the same humble Canadian with almost 200k subscribers and millions of views. This was a great, great video.
Seeing old friends reunite after so many years warms my heart :)
Maybe you guys could consider a collab
Stating your subscriber count and that you have millions of views doesn't seem humble. Just sayin' lol! - This was, of course, a joke.
OP was talking about Raycevick's numbers, not his own.
"If you can get 30 seconds of fun, you can pretty much stretch that out into an entire game."
Ah. So that *WAS* the core design philosophy behind Destiny....who'd-a-thunk.
BirdsEyeView I'd imagine the hacks they hired probably massively perverted that philosophy after the OG guys left
But that's a concept I've even heard in a TLOU making-of, I think its pretty common and (as he said in the video) not necessarily a bad thing.
That was the philosophy of Halo's gameplay. Not thirty seconds of fun for the whole game, but fun 30 second segments connected by gameplay corridors.

that moment when you realize, high school musical is older than the orange box. then I wonder why I am realizing that.
I know how much of a struggle it was for you to get this out. But god damn was it worth it. 10/10 would watch at 5:30am again.
Also Genital Jousting when ok thanks bye

"I really... REALLY didn't want to make this video. But the memes are just too strong in my audience, so I guess I have to do a serious review of this.

Amazing work on this video anyways! :D
Eli's death got me. Like a true father he was more worried about his child watching a traumatic event than his own death and calmly told her to "Close your eyes honey..."
Pathof Phobos I never realized :O
I'm gonna cry now
When I see and hear that scene from HL2EP2 it always affects me the same way and I have to remind myself that they are 'fictional' characters. (Then I make my fingers pretend to walk like Ben Affleck explaining to Jay and Silent Bob that they are getting worked up over fictional characters). I get pretty angry at Valve for leaving us there and that's it.
I have listened to Merle Dandridge discuss voicing Alyx and she says it is her favorite role. The sound of her crying for her murdered father seems so real not like acting and I would bet that she was truly affected by that scene as well and it is there in her anguish. Fictional characters DAMN!
"Why would I trade crits for an ability that I use once every few lives?"
*once every few lives.*
AAAAARRRRGH
Well he did say he wasn't an expert...
I always keep coming back to this video and it gives me nostalgia always does.
23:26 that would make some things impossible and would change the timeline, like how if you kill the scientist in the lambda labs straight up game ends you because you wouldn’t be able to go to xen. And if you killed alyx you wouldn’t be able to hack stuff unless Gordon knew how to which is unlikely
Making this video over 10 minutes for revenue? Disgusting

When you remember the sound design, sound of the guns, voice lines of the enemies and NPCs, and music. not just the song but you remember the exact moment in gameplay where the music kicked in - as much as you remember the plot and gameplay highlights, you've got one hell of an employee working on audio

Collen Black I don’t know if you like older games, but check out XboxAhoy!!!
Likely won't happen. Joseph's been approached and he isn't interested due to how difficult it is for him to work with people on projects. At least, that's what I recall. You can ask him on a stream tomorrow if you get the chance.

Half Life 2 is a huge improvement in graphics over Half Life 1, compare HL2 to other 2004 games and it looks breathtaking, it still holds up pretty good today tbh
of fucking course it's an improvement over hl1, these games came out 6 years apart

TF2 is one of the most tightly knit communities there is. Everyone knows all the content creators, we all know the reccurring jokes about lack of support and random crits, and we are all aware of the very small but surving esports scene. TF2 is a game that is hard to describe from an outsiders perspective. A solid 200 hours might be a lot in other games, but TF2 its considered nothing, most veterans average 4000. There's a lot to learn.
One of its biggest problems is wasted potential. TF2 is the goldilocks of esports. Recognisable characters, beautiful design and artstyle, mechanics with incredible skill ceilings, easy to understand the basics, and high acessibillity. But, Valve left it to rot. It has a team of 4 programmers. They went to CSGO and Dota, leaving TF2 with bi-annual updates, and a neglected esports scene and community.
But thats just my ramblings. Its very interesting to see the perspective of a new player. For example, the backburner may be powerful at lower levels, its detremental as the airblast is it most powerful tool, often neglected. It can reflect projectiles and push players away, essential in pyro v soldier matchups, and only being able to do 4 of them hits . you hard. It all changes with skill.
Also, no-one uses crafting. There's other things, but this comment is getting too long.
lol I only have 5 hours in TF2 so far, looks like I have a lot to go
Might be a little late but yeah I completly agree with this comment, the tf2 community is tightly knit as well which is the thing keeping it alive. I'm hoping to get back into it again and try the community updates
Hopefully, when Valve releases Alyx, some of the devs can move back to Tf2
After 2500hrs in this game and 4 seasons of competitive, tf2 is still my favorite game. I have so many memories and friends in this game. Tf2 is a masterpiece abandoned by its creators with a loving and dedicated community.
I’m F2P (so far), and crafting is a struggle. Random item drops don’t happen ‘every 30-70 minutes’ and you never have enough space.
35:13 come on don't you dare telling me that this moment gave you some joy and goosebumps when you first played this game
i mean come on it still makes smile to this date
i just want to say that Merle Dandrige (alyx) is a great voice actor. Her characters are always interesting. (she's also Marlene, the leader of the Fireflies in TLOU)
Damn, I love both TLOU and Half-Life and had no clue Marlene and Alyx were voiced by the same person. What range.
>using airblast once every few lives
boi
I do the same thing!
I never said I was a good Pyro
At least he doesn't w+m1
If he uses the dragon he is w+m1
What's that? Airblast is useless?
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhh
Soldier mains.
I love this video so much and yet cringed so hard when he said that

Your a life saver
@@chriskross2859 You're*
@@theblinkstykrab3106 You're annoying
This video reminds me a lot of The Orange Box. They're both amazing.
I always remember playing half life when I was a kid, feeling such an overwhelming feeling of tension and atmosphere, it birthed my love of story driven single player games
The editing was fantastic. The way the _Half-Life 2_ popped up on the screen with the funky circles was really cool man. 10/10
Are you *the* Half-Life 3?!
BRO WHEN ARE yoU COMING OUT
I bet your Nick name is myth
So this is where Half Life 3 was. TH-cam
April 1st:
- Half Life 3: Infinite years later
- Raycevik: X years later
Ray's April Fools video will be Halo Wars years later.
17:32 - that bridge still gives me nightmares to this day. Don't ask. 😅
Also - "That's the old passage to Ravenholm. We don't go there anymore."
I finished Portal in less than two hours on my first ever blind run a couple weeks ago.
You were so spot on about its role in the industry´s perception of mechanics like portals that I´m almost dizzy.
I picked up the Orange Box on a whim because it was so much cheaper than other games in my local game store. Holy shite was it the best €20 I've ever spent.
Gotakibono the orange box was 60 on release, 20$ per game
Nope thats not the exchange value tho
Well, I didn't say I got it on release day. I bought it two years after its release, so by that time the few copies they had left in the store were marked down in price.

i believe mobile users can read the description
Merlin We do, but its nice to see.
Nice to know, thanks
On a mobile device right now. For some reason the time stamps in the description don’t work but the ones in this comment thread work.
I know literally nothing about half life and orange box but this was such a good video that I just straight up watched the whole thing
One of my most remembered parts of hl2 ep2 is when you drive through a town and get trapped by two walls and get ambushed. And “your not supposed to be here” starts playing and I remember getting a grin on my face.
1:27 I just realized, that's the same combine look that they had in the trailer for Half-Life: Alyx
Why do I keep seeing you lol
Wait you telling me that the combine in alyx are dark blue and orange?
As an avid tf2 player I should probably tell you that the back burner is actually kind of shit for skilled players.
I disagree. It absolutely shreds everything if you use it right and as long as you aren't spamming airblasts or trying to play a support role (which the weapon is obviously not meant for) it's downside literally doesn't matter.
It used to be nuts, but was nerfed heavily in the last couple years.
@@Laroac What did they do it? I've playing TF2 on and off for the past few years and never noticed any major changes in its effectiveness. If anything shouldn't it be a lot stronger now since they buffed pyro's damage?
@@remembertotakeshowerspleas355 Its airblast cost is the problem, it's understandable that you don't know the reason why most prefer stock compared to back burner from playing tf2 on and off. The one big problem from that drawback is its flexibility, the back burner is good for flanking and... that's it, you certainly cannot 1v1 soldier, heavy, and demoman with it face-to-face because of that airblast cost. Airblast is one of the reasons why pyro could even directly confront these classes especially when encountering them in choke points, it could reflect rockets, arrows, pills, and stickies while also pushing back enemies to have a momentary breathing space that could be important in a short-term such as quick escape or finding cover. Sacrificing so much for one niche that the stock itself could already do consistently isn't a good strategy, with the players now, 9/10 times enemies could predict your strategy and severely punish you for that.
@@remembertotakeshowerspleas355 I've got 10+ years and 4000+ hours in TF2, you're completely wrong and Rycore is completely right. Skilled players don't even touch the backburner, it's a gun for noobs. It's fun in pubs for tormenting bad players, but it's garbage against anyone that doesn't just W+M1 their way through the game. About 75% of the time, stock is better than the sidegrades.
i miss these games so much. the best assortment of individually awesome games under one title ever. this was such an awesome thing to have been released, and the nostalgia of seeing this, oh my god
24:00 - 24:30 That's not cut content. That line is in the main game, during that bit where you've arrived at the power plant (after the canal section), and there being several points of interest where Eli might give a little back story. Like about his wife, Doctor Breen, that artifact Alyx brought in, but them still not knowing what it is. But (I think) once Alyx has entered the room, you can enter the room Mossman is in, then come back out and Eli will give you that line about Mossman not being hired because of Gordon having more experience.
