I use "Noted" as inside joke with a friend, we use messenger and the default emoji of the theme we use is a pencil, sometimes he sends me it by accident and one day I started replying "noted" when this happens, now he also does this.
IMHO, if you want to play Half-Life today, you can also just play the original, I've played it recently and still an amazing game, and several aspects I like it more than Half-life 2.
Some might not like the graphics for being dated, but after a while you get used to it.
> I thought Deus Ex Human Revolution got some parts right though.
Human Revolution did a lot of great things, and Mankind Divided improved even more with exception of the abrupt end.
But there's something about the original that is hard to point, that make it unique and hard to replicate. It's probably not a single thing, how all things work so well together.
> The first sequel to Deus Ex however is probably the biggest disappointment in gaming history.
I would like to see they try to remake or just remastering of Deus ex 1, so it can be a good introduction to new players in the existing world established in the original, to make a new sequel ignoring Invisible war.
I have a PC and PS5, and bought game for PS5 just because they were on disk, despite that they would've ran and look much better on my pc.
Sony is releasing like 2 single-player games a year, I might get a PS6, but I'll be in not rush with so little offering, anything else I'll get on PC.
