yeah

[@splithead6370]

yea, that doesnt change the fact this video sounds more like an uncreative creepy pasta than a half life vider

[@racer927]

"1/3 of players never saw Alyx?" Well... It could also be that people played through the game before the achievements even existed.

[@Pinsplash]

lol true, i totally blanked out on the fact they were added later

[@racer927]

@@Pinsplash No problem, I just thought of pointing out something like that.

[@X_mezo_X]

another possibility is that they played is offline.

[@SirHorseLegs]

Some could’ve even played through the game with sv_cheats 1.

@@X_mezo_X oh hello mezo weird to see you here

I love the idea of the backwards speedrun, "Man stuck in the middle of a singularity event has to go through a war torn wasteland to catch a train"

[@declandude25]

aka half life 2 episode 1

[@wirmaple7336]

I'm glad to see that people still care for hl2; nice job ;)

[@Believe086]

True story my man

[@LotsOfS]

Hey, pretty cool to see my trilogy all achievements run (as I called it at the time) featured. I need to redo that run since ep2 had a new chievo added last year or so. I might have to do some more serious planning for a route beforehand.

[@HeavenlyCelestia]

Pretty cool run, considering watching it in future for something to put in the background!

[@thedigs8563]

what was the achievement?

[@ImagikaAli]

Good luck my man , good luck and hope you're successful

[@reptarien]

@@thedigs8563 Valve added another achievement about Gnome Chompski to Half Life 2 Ep 2 because Gabe had a replica Gnome Chompski put on a New Zealand rocket that was actually successfully sent into space.

[@Thornbloom]

"Is that everything?" "No!" Heh.

[@minniemariebobe]

10:20 ‘’Is that everything? NO!’’ lmao

[@splashmob]

thanks for linking everything in the description. i had no idea about some of these categories so having the direct links to the runs shown is really appreciated. gonna be watching some of these for sure!

[@Gulliblepikmin]

Fun Fact: A lot of the lambda caches were not added until the orange box release, when achievements were added to hl2 and ep1.

[@Randomeaninglessword]

Alright so I wasn't as blind in my first run as I thought when I had to go back through years later for the achievement...

[@waezone]

Too bad you didn't include the clip of me dying on a single segment run right as I was trying to enter the last pod ride of the game as intended, no speedrun strats nothing, and the game just saying no and yeeting me off into death.

[@Tmob]

RIPBOZO

[@sycamorph]

Other games have already shown that "mandatory" kills might not be that mandatory if people search hard enough.

[@Citiesinmotionplayer]

There's no way to progress in ep2 without killing all of the striders in the strider fight. believe me we have tried

[@samuels1123]

The last required non-movement input for ep2 is +use on a button this button is only enabled when the relevant npc scripts are completed, the condition for these scripts to start is enabled by map logic that tracks the destruction of striders.

[@spagootnoodels4999]

This was really interesting to watch even though I have no real interest in speedruns, and that says something. Good job!

[@fleack4135]

Brilliant video, you're doing great! :) Funny that the fastest category took up the biggest part of the video :D

[@vehicleronald5015]

Softlock in 1ms is faster :D

[@fleack4135]

@@vehicleronald5015 doesn't count 😎

[@saniel2748]

I never noticed how rare it is for half life to demand killing enemies. In fact, every time it does are my least favorite parts of the game. Except for episode 2 fights, all of those are amazing somehow lol

[@idioticed4379]

It's the hunters, they're very fun to fight

[@supersonicbros23]

10:20 Wish I could have been in the room during that one "is that everything?" Breen: *NO!*

[@thealandude9146]

Love the speedrunner's hud and segment in the TNC section "lol"

[@FrohmanOscar28]

Never expected to see Half Life 2 Done Portal on this, I used to route that game years ago when I had more free time. Very cool video.

[@Opanker_]

Tecnichally, You aren't directly harming the striders at the fight near the end of episode 2 since it's more like you're blowing up an explosive next to them,

[@vehicleronald5015]

Mom, look, I'm in youtube! Nice video, really liked watching it!

[@InstantMes]

background music gave me one of those "conspiracy" hl videos vibe, like hl iceberg etc.

[@tristenarctician6910]

It's literally the hl2 ost

[@p02studios]

"The time of single segment is much closer to real gameplay..." a minute later: "WR in single segment is 1 Hour 18 min" xDD nice video though.

[@Pinsplash]

"real time" in speedruns just means the time with loading screens. the regular run time has a ~20 minute difference between real time and in game time (without loads) because of save-related bugs

[@golarac6433]

Awesome video

[@ruperterskin2117]

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@ViceMightBeTaken]

12:15, well they probably played with cheats on or before achievements were a thing

[@mirskiy]

OMG mirskiy in YT xD liked this video

[@liquidbismuth1044]

Somewhat unrelated, but am I the only one who finds the final battle in ep2 absolutely insufferable, even on normal difficulty??

[@e-cap1239]

It's slightly difficult, but if you aim the Magnussons properly and kill the hunters using rockets it's easy. What truly is annoyingly difficult is the achievement that requires that the striders destroy no buildings...

[@Fatherlake]

@@e-cap1239 I ran over all the hunters lol

[@thedigs8563]

i still havent beaten it lol

[@tablenkov4993]

Half-Life with the portals... It's the best game, i guess

[@henrymaxwell482]

Anyone got the link for the HL1 movement mod?

[@Eira_]

13:37 damn, last year i played the game while trying to kill as few enemies as possible without glitches and managed to get my kill count as low as 6 (and i could probably have avoided 2 of those in retrospect) i didnt even think about trying it as a speedrun

[@novelezra]

05:50 - Anyone read Daniel Clowes: The Death Ray?

lmao i didnt know you could make a logic_relay in the console

That TNC record is incredible.

[@samuels1123]

hammer map i/o is very fun, no idea how the npc choreo works though

[@thezflyyt4729]

12:14 some people just play the entire game with sv_cheats 1, so that means they just do not get any achievements

[@MacroPower001]

It's crazy that the new wr is faster than portal mode

Your voice reminds me heavily of jerryrig lol

[@Ellesiumss]

what about no hit? speedrun half-life but every hit is fatal and you need to start from beginning. It would be Extremely Hard.

[@synthesoul]

Softlock% is probably the dumbest speedrun category.

[@Leymora]

Okay but why don't people just load the final map with the *"map [mapname]"* command in the TNC category?

[@timsk2907]

Because commands "map" and "changelevel" not allowed in TNC%

No tablet%, and no miku skin for alyx..... and rip nachoooo😭

[@Funfax7396]

I can only see when speedrunners glitch the game is it cheating, glitch are not part of the game and used only a noobs

[@dylanberger8701]

"glitches are not part of the game" what are they a part of then? glitches come from the game's rules being followed exactly. If you can only see it as cheating, then you must have a perfect knowledge of what is intended behavior by game developers. Some things that look like glitches are actually hard-coded and intended by the developers to prevent bugs, like NPC's teleporting if you block their way with props.

[@M18_CRYMORE]

That's why they have different categories, Big brain.
