Is this the only example where /v/ was right and the game is actually THAT good?
No
>>735158281No, HL2 is also a masterpiece like /v/ claims.
>>735158281>bait and switch pseudo-intellectual kojima sludge>goodlol.
>>735158409The setting, gameplay, TECHNOLOGY, and atmosphere are 10/10 even if you ignore the plot. The well written story is just the cherry on top.
>>735158281No, look at most of the /v/core games and they are generally good.

>>735158281I like this one, but the "shittier version of the previous one" storyline isn't exactly fun.
>>735158363Every time I replay Half Life 2 it gets worse and worse with age. It's a far cry from a masterpiece now imo. It's extremely tedious to replay.
>>735158281There's plenty of games that /v/ (not nu-/v/) has largely agreed upon being great.MGS 1-3Half-Life 1 + 2Deus ExSystem ShockWarcraft 3Ocarina of Time/Majora's MaskGTA SA + VCTHPS 1-4 + UndergroundBioshock 1 + 2Goldeneye 007Resident Evil 1-4Silent Hill 1 + 2Mass Effect 1 + 2Dragon Age: OriginsGrim FandangoSplinter Cell: Chaos TheoryJet Set RadioStar Wars: KOTORBloodborneFallout 3/New VegasBanjo-KazooieSuper Mario 64ICOShadow of the ColossusPlanescape: TormentDonkey Kong CountryHitman: Blood MoneyHollow KnightLeft 4 DeadTitanfallNeed for Speed: UndergroundMax Payne 1 + 2Chrono TriggerFinal Fantasy 6/7/8Thief 1 + 2NieR: AutomataDevil May CryHotline MiamiMorrowind + OblivionHoMM 3Team Fortress 2FEARPokemon Red/Blue/YellowProbably missing a ton but these are ones I can remember.
