    Is it just me or do ragdoll physics make games better? HOLY CRUD THIS COMMENT BLEW UP!
  • hl2 ragdoll physics are surprisingly ahead of it's time if you look closely. When you shoot an enemy in a specific spot (it's most noticeable when shooting a metrocop with a pistol) they have these little ragdoll animations and poses, almost like a precursor to euphoria physics.
  • Can we all agree that GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption have the best ragdoll physics out of all of these games?
  • Gta 4 always had top tier rag doll physics. They used the euphoria endorphin physics if I’m not mistaken. I used to mess with endorphin those were the days.
  • @Leo-gz1tm
    What about Max Payne 2? The physics were amazing at the time.
  • @killar1one
    dude you should’ve included max payne 2, before half life that game had the greatest ragdoll physics for its time (2003)
  • @brotherzez2
    GTA IV still to this day has the best ragdoll physics
  • @Iamdecaptain
    All games need more ragdoll physics it's just plain entertaining
