It's not as good as everyone says it is.
it's uncslop
He really does just walk around with a probe in ass all day?
it was amazing for its time but now it's just fine as far as shooters go. still pretty fun HL2 on the other hand aged like complete shit
the most 7/10 game to ever exist. the sequel is an 8/10
unreal is better in every imaginable way
It's not for everyone too
uh oh, alf its at it again...
I’d rather just play Quake or Duke 3D again.
>>749040753I don't think it aged as well as other 90s shooters, all the story stuff is super annoying too
>>749040890I agree with you and I think HL2 innovated very little, ah, gravity gun, cool. I'm done with it.
>>749040753Nobody is saying that half-soi is good though.
>>749040890because HL2's gameplay revolves around the gravity gun rest of the weapon sandbox genuinely sucks ass and physics isn't the amazing novelty it was is the 00's
>>749040753All Half Life games are incredibly overrated, even HL2 Episode 2 which people kept saying was the best thing ever. I haven't played Alyx so idk about that one.
>>749041115HL2 Episode 1 is better than 2all of the driving missions in HL2 suck and episode 2's finale is DOGSHIT genuinely the worst level in the series
You're right, it's better
It's so good that I emulated the PS2 version on Series X just to play with my gfoid who can't into mouse and keyboard.
There was this interview with Gaben where he said that despite all the pressure for HL3 they didn't want to release anything because they couldn't come up with anything that would advance gaming. I don't know if it's cope but I think he was sincere.
fpslets will never understand
>>749041190Honestly yeah I think I actually Episode 1 a bit more when I first played it
>>749041115There isn't a single single-player FPS with a better paced campaign than HL2 and its episodes.
>>749040890The shooting is what I have a problem with.Everything feels like you're just tickling people to death even with headshots, and headcrabs take 3+ shots with a shotgun unless you're pressing it against their face, but then they do 1/10th of your health in damage every time they jump.And the Grunts you fight for 90% of the game are bullet sponges that shred you in seconds, because your armor is made of wet tissue paper.It's just Doom or Quake but bad.The atmosphere and story are great, but God it feels horrible to play.
>>749041328that's a different image poopface
>>749041423None of that applied to my playthrough because I'm not shit at fps
>>749041409Yeah it's fun for like the first time and then on replays its a complete slog
I really don't remember shit about the lore. I remember liking the priest in HL2 but I didn't care about the story itself.
>>749041476
>>749041483I beat Plutonia on Ultra Violence, the shooting really is just that stinky.
>>749040753I enjoyed it when I played it as a kid and liked it more than Half Life 2 but it probably hasn't aged that well now
>get to the surface>enjoyment of game plummets>still haven't booted up the game after hitting gamma coreIts like every level is THAT level.
>>749041423How the fuck are you taking multiple shots with the shotgun to kill a headcrab? I don't really think you understand how much this invalidates your opinion.
>>749041489>once i know all the solutions to the problems its not as interestingno shit, your first time will always be the best on these types of games
>>749041663I stand five feet away from the headcrab and shoot it with my shotgun, half the pellets hit the floor, 2 hit the crab.Repeat 2 more times, maybe more because I'm on Hard.Repeat for every crab.
>>749041538>Same image name and everythingKinda based that he's not even trying to hide honestly.
First part is ludokino, but when HECU gets introduced - i literally run and avoid as much as i can. Fighting humans just not fun - too bullet spongy and of course hitscans hit like a motherfucker.>>749041423True
>>749040890I had more fun with HL2 than 1
>>749041703Yeah but HL1 didn't have this problem as strongly for me, although to be fair I guess this was just an unavoidable consequence of HL2 being more story heavy.
opposing force is fun
>>749041827HL1 wasn't as mechanics heavy as HL2. HL2 is constantly training you up on some mechanic, developing it, then testing you on it. HL1 is fun on repeat plays simply because of the movement.
>>749041896>HL1 is fun on repeat plays simply because of the movement.Actually trve
>>749040753I played both half-lives when I was already an adult, early 10sI liked hl1 significantly more than 2, and actually struggled with finishing the episodes for 2. Even blue shift was more fun than 2
> Going to a cybercafe with the bros to play HL in LAN> Eventually Team Fortress> Eventually Counter StrikeThis chopped unc has a lot to thank that game for.
>>749041851I think it was pretty good
>>749041726You're retarded and bad. The zombies also only required two shots at a longer range, gonna go 3 tap a combine soldier with the pistol next.
>>749041963blue shift is a good little mini campaignI would have been pissed if I paid full price for it on release but in a vacuum there's nothing really bad about it beyond no power weapons I guess
>>749040753OkayYou'll never enjoy a game as much as people enjoyed HL back then.
>>749042060That's Half Life 2 not 1.
>>749040753It's kinda boring honestly but I'm a fan of neither endless facility corridors or shooters in general so it's just not for me
>>749042125Shit, I'm retarded then.
>>749040753unreal mogs hl1
>>749041963Everyone sucking HL2's dick over stupid gimmick shit soured me on valve for like a decade. Didn't help that Steam was dogshit back then.
>>749041896>HL2 is constantly training you up on some mechanic, developing it, then testing you on it.I noticed that the last time I played it. It would introduce a new mechanic then have you use it in three sections each time. It got a little repetitive that way though and overall didn't really feel like the game blended everything together as well, even if the mechanics were enjoyable. I actually liked Xen while the ending sections of HL2 have never really been enjoyable to me. Also, OP is probably one of the people who just regularly seethe about HL1 across multiple boards.
>>749042206
>>749040946>the sequel is an 8/10HL2 is a 10 because it's physics engine is still one of the most fun, it still holds up
>>749040753i started playing it again, and its ok. Im wondering if i should play the "updated" version (i dont mean black mesa, but those half life update thingies)
>>749042215*reads your inputs*i like unreal but these brought the experience down
>>749042408I read that filename as saar. fuck me, I need to go to bed.
>>749042353>>749042412>>749042470How mentally ill do you have to be to constantly seethe this much over a 25+ year old game?

>>749043027thread turned into genuine half life discussion anyway so I don't know why he's being a crybaby
>>749043027
>>749043027>nooo don't expose the extent of my autismlol
>>749043160I'm not even the guy he's crying about though.Multiple people can have the same opinion completely independent of one another.
>>749043227Sure but there's obviously someone mentally ill who does this all the time. Even on /vr/ too people make fun of him because he's been doing it for so many years. I think it's funny just seeing how much they really do.
>>749040753>It's not as good as everyone says it is.
>>749041319Man, I don't need it to "advance gaming", I just want a good game that concludes the story in a satisfactory manner. No need for the world's most advanced graphics either, if it looks on par with Black Mesa that's just perfect.
>>749040753You're right, it's better and only gets better with age.
