Most people have favorites like Skyrim or snow levels in games like Super Mario 64. Well since I’m weird af mine is Half-Life (1) on the ps2. I first played it around Christmas in the 2000’s, the exact date I rented it escapes me. So this year I’m feeling nostalgic again and fired it up in PCSX2 with native mouse and keyboard support.
It’s a pretty good port all things considered, if you don’t want to pay Valve money or pirate a copy from somewhere. Vimm’s has it in their catalogue of games.
They’re waiting for you Gordon, in the test. chamber.
If anyone is into visual novels and is looking for something to play on Christmas, try VA-11 Hall-A. It’s a cozy game about being a bartender in a cyberpunk city during Christmas, and it has some actual gameplay too, you have to listen to what your customers want and make the drinks in a simple mini-game.
Isn’t that the one with the
CW: pedophilia
child sex bot
They explore the renovations of that fairly well if I recall correctly.
It’s not like the game is promoting/excusing pedophilia, it just acknowledges that in a world with sentient child-like androids with adult minds, some of them would definitely become prostitutes, because there is a market for that in a fucked up cyberpunk city. The only character in the game that represents them does not talk about her gross pedo clients.
Mild story spoiler
There’s just one guy whose daughter died and he pays a prostitute to pretend to be his daughter for a day. Beyond that Dorothy does not get into details about her work.
