12th Nov 2004 here, was actually surprised it was that long ago, might give that project Borealis a look.

Damn it, every time I see this thread up at the top I get excited!

You're not the only one, we can only hope!

Think my account was created when steam was about 6 months old. Tbh can't even remember creating an account, but it might have been for half life.

Just checked mine and it states 13 Sept 2003 @ 4:56pm. Not sure what the significance of that day was, HL2 preload or access to something related to that? Can not recall now.

Thread needs a title change tbh...

13 January 2007 for me.

Had a steam account from 2004, was banned for cheating in Counter Strike Source because I was a silly child

December 2004 for me, coming up 20 years.

I got Half-Life 2 as a Christmas present the year of release so yeah coming up to 20 years myself.
I was still on dial-up so it took a very long time to install and update, needless to say I was not a fan of Steam on release lol

I'm just trying to think what graphics card I had at the time... I might have still been running a MX440

May 2004 for me. Great times for PC gaming.

I remember buying Half Life 2 "twice" on release day...

I went to the bank and got the money out. Printed a mini statement that I don't normally do.

Walked off reading the mini statement and forgot the money. Went back money was gone so took it out again and bought it.

Not done that before or since lol.

Also bought a new GPU from OCUK.

It was a great time for gaming for me.

Wonder when HL2 RTX will drop, hopefully the new year.

And still valve have their thumbs firmly lodged up their arses in relation to finishing the story...

November 2004 for me apparently.

Need more half life. More Portal too please

I'm now resigned to the idea we'll never get HL3 now. Even if we did the expectations would be too high and it would sell amazingly but bomb because people just wouldn't be satisfied. UNLESS it's like Alyx....damn that is good

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

Played through the Borealis Prologue last night. I think they've done pretty well capturing the feel of the HL2 series, the efforts they've gone to with the menu system etc are noted. However, it all feels a little bit "uncanny valley" as it's a bit off. Minor complaint though.

The world is very good, it feels like another Source technology iteration like we had between HL2 -> EP1 -> EP2 and as such it feels natural. Gun play is pretty good, I think the pistol is spot on but the shotgun felt off. It was either the rate of fire, or the reload but it didn't feel right.

All in all, I'm excited to see where it goes. Shows a lot of promise, and a lot of effort has gone in to realising the potential of the story.

Might be tempted to replay HL2 with RTX. Assuming it runs ok on 3060ti.

Although, I don't really game at all these days. But I'd definitely change that for another Half Life game.
