Has HL1 aged well?

I don't care because I still have fun playing it from time to time.

It's aged fine.

HL2 on the other hand has not aged well, its over reliance on the gravity gun and terrible level design really shines through now.

I dunno, the platforming is kind of eh nowadays, aliens are too easy of an enemy, the only actual fun challenge is against the human soldier dudes.

reminder that half life came out before ocarina of Time, and people say ocarina is impressive.

ocarina came out on the 1996 equivalent of a potato though.

Yes and so have all the mods.

You could say the mods have far outlasted the original.

>>387924443
absolutely

what of black mesa, then?
counter strike appeals to a niche that only cares about counter strike, while half life and black mesa made waves in the entire vidja industry.

Yes it's aged great, played it for the first time like 3 years ago and was glued to my screen.

>power went out and was just playing it all day on my laptop

It was so comfy

counter strike is THE icon online multiplayer shooting game, TF2 is the only one that compares in icon status and that popularity came mostly from fucking gmod and later sfm memes.

>CSGO is still the second most played game on steam after Dota 2

Yes, but new players got retarded.

The big problem with the gunplay is that there's really no variety in weaponry - especially when compared to HL1

HL1 has aged amazingly well

only janky parts are the rail chapter and fighting the fish monster with the crossbow
