The answer is Half-Life 2. Also,
inb4 Valve didn't make Portal/L4D
inb4 Orange Box is one game
inb4 that one video of the autistic kid REEEEEing about HL1.

You poor, delusional fool.

HL1

>>384693828
Yeah but did it really inspire any notable games? Half Life 2's influence brought Bioshock, Gears of War, Dishonored, and The Last of Us to name a few. Team Fortress 2, while absolutely excellent, has like Overwatch? Brink? I dunno.

They will never make another game. Steam and TF2 are already printing money, so why put any more effort?

Half Life 1

>>384692424
Some mod they are selling as their own.
Valve doesn't make games. When they did they made mediocre reddit fuel

>>384692424
Team Fortress 2, by far

How many of you here expect that if Ricochet comes out they'll try to push the e-sports bullshit on to it?

>>384697137
Far better community, far better custom maps, no cosmetic gambling shit, and no bloated esports scene.

>>384694894
best ≠ influential

>>384697339
>bloated esports scene
does not affect you
>cosmetic gambling shit
does not affect you
>far better custom maps
wrong
>better community
subjective

>>384694894
Jeff Kaplan, director of Overwatch, confirmed that they were definitely inspired by TF2.

Pretty notable game with a major esports scene.

Ricochet

>Half Life 2's influence brought Bioshock
system shock came out before hl2

thief/deus ex came out before hl2
>the last of us
film came out before the last of us

I literally can't choose...

>>384697386
Hey please read the whole reply chain before replying. First post says the best game is TF2 with the rationale being, "it literally defined the future of objective based multiplayer shooters".

>>384699053
If you can't see Half Life 2 written all of BioShock then I dunno what to say. Dishonored too, less so, and yes I know it has one of the art directors from HL2.
