exactly how nostalgia driven do you have to be to actually think

Played it for the first time last year, and it was great. There still hasn't been another game that would do what Half-Life does.

i played it for the first time 2 years ago,and its the best FPS game Ive played since perfect dark

I think that it's got a good atmosphere and I enjoyed playing it, although I don't like how they split it up into episodes and how they didn't finish it despite it not being a technically demanding game to produce. It's just a linear FPS after all.

MODELLED

You gotta remember, this was most of /v/'s very first game. They don't know any better. Just humor them.

give me one reason why you don't like this game, one reason that makes sense?

The game came out in 2004 and did literally wrong, yet /v/ wants to hate something?

I know how it feels like to have low self esteem and wanting to look better and/or smart. But this is not proper way to do it, so fuck off man

am i the only one that thinks the first half-life is better than the second?

>>378462505
yes, you are the only person in the world who thinks that

Exactly how much of an autist do you have to be to have a problem with people finding a game you don't like fun?

Reminder: if your opinion on anything differs from my own you are OBJECTIVELY retarded and autistic.

It's one of the few 3D games with cel shading that still looks good today, there's something timeless about the graphics that's missing in stuff like Doom 3 or FarCry, it might be the animation quality

but I liked borderlands 2 and everyone says bad things about it :c

yea gameplay is dull n boring but I always get bored, as long as there is a mission/quest I'd do it.

same old /v/, they hate ow for the same reason as well.

>>378463057
Yeah, I've seen people do that with Silent Hill threads. Those usually turn into postive things said about the games. But all I ever see in Half-Life 2 threads is hate for it and the usual complaints like "I don't like the vehicle sections. The guns are booorrrinngg..." blah blah blah
These HL2 threads are made with hate, not love.

Once you learn about the original storyline of Half-Life 2, you can only think that the retail version of HL2 is just bland. Shit was just way more grimdark and visually cooler.

Me too. I hate the weapons in HL2. They felt much better in HL1. They were intentionally made weak to force you to kill with the gimmick gun

Half Lifefags explain yourselves

>>378462505
most people think that, but HL2 is still better than 99% of shooters

>>378460535
It's good but Valve's degeneration proves that it was basically a tech demo. Another team with more passion for actual gamedev could've made a better HL game. They simply must give the Half-Life brand to Arkane.

>>378462638
Half-Life's story has never been good, and while the games had good storytelling, they got carried away with exposition scenes in the 2nd game.

Also Doom 2017 is a better game than Half-Life 2

>>378464652
There aren't any "cutscenes" in HL, you have control of your character at all times.

>>378464379

I'm glad that wasn't in, that sort of thing has been done to death. Wasn't Alyx supposed to get raped by some electric blue snake creature?

Really joggened my noggen

>>378464798
Except when they lock you in a room for 10 minutes to wait until other characters go through their motions. There aren't even any puzzles to solve! You effectively have no control when the doors are locked, and the interactions are limited to jumping on tables like a madman.

That's untrue, take Kleiner's lab for example, you can look through the photographs and various other bits of world-building pinned to the walls, teleport small objects with the miniature teleporter, see Gman on the security camera feed etc.

>>378462464
Am not trying to "look cool" as you see my opinion is getting flamed and I'm totally fine with that

My problems with it: Very boring gunplay most of the time, I think we can all agree on that one. Also, the "puzzles" very often are stupidly annoying to do as at times they're unnecessarily complicated, don't make any sense and don't feel rewarding one bit.

PS: title was just kinda clickbaity ;)

>The puzzle are unnecessarily complicated and make no sense

You might have a learning disability, the problem with the puzzles is that they were completely contrived reasons to show off the physics engine. All of them were very simple.

>>378460535
I've such mixed feelings about it. I don't think HL1 is special either and I didn't give a shit about the story. HL2 makes me give a shit about the story right at the start and then drops the ball hard to make you drive vehicles and play with the physics because in the end it's a tech demo.
I guess if you really enjoyed floating objects around, then it distracted you from how there's absolutely NOTHING GOING ON, save for some average shooting, for most of the game. But then some parts are really fun. Basically everything in the city is fun.

And then I actually really liked Ep1 and Ep2. At least they made me care about what happens.

Man, they were the most basic of basic physics puzzles that looked flashy to showcase what the engine could do.
