Best of Alyx and FakeFactory´s Cinematic Mod

Some of the best screenshots of Alyx and FakeFactory´s Cinematic Mod (Half-Life 2).

MagicAccent5238d ago (Edited 5238d ago )

I've always liked the fakefactory mod.
With the exeption of Alyx, because she just looks like a taiwanese prostitute, imo the antithesis of Alyx's character..

zagibu5238d ago

Yeah, Adriana Lima is hot, but I don't want to have her replace Alyx.

thereapersson5238d ago

Nowhere near as good-looking as the original model. Sure, it might looks "better", but it doesn't look better. (if you know what I mean)

xer05238d ago

Nice details BUT...

Why does she look white, when she's clearly of mixed race?
Ellie is black after all.

Connoro5238d ago

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with the majority here, this Alyx looks awful. Sure, they switched the model to that of a "more attractive" woman, but in doing so they've lost Alyx's entire appeal, and while I feel uncomfortable mentioning it, xer0 is correct, Eli is not Caucasian, so why is Alyx so white?

Ashriel5238d ago

Uhm I think I know why Alyx was made like that, it's called "cinematic mod" and she looks like a sexy whore character from any movie.

latest beta release 10.10 contains iron sights.

As far as I played it's a welcome addition, changes gameplay and that's cool after that long.

one of my own little video showing IS in CM10.10 http://www.xfire.com/video/...

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis13d ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast13d ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake12d ago

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name55d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno55d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno55d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure55d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
