/vr/ - Retro Games

Half Life is at least partially responsible for the modern cinematic FPS. At no point in time was Half Life, or its mods, or its expansions ever good.
This was old /vr/ consensus.
Look up the archives.

best game ever

/v/tard here, quick question, does everyone here hate pic related and think its the worst thing to ever happened to vidia since EA or is this little nigger (we call him Alf-Life) >>>/v/573599785 just spouting nonsense using your name as a base for its claims?

Half Life was alyways hated.

So it's not one guy like HL cucks say.
It doesn't belong on the retro fps general.
Do your job jannies.

Literally not a single thing HL introduced, barring, possibly, the skeletal animation, was in any way a definite improvement over what the genre already had in one form or another. And yet all the retarded shit it pulls off becomes the genre, the industry, standard overnight. Yes, I am INCREDIBLY salty, and I consider HL to be the worst thing to ever happen with FPS genre. There were tons of FPS games worse than it - but it is a bad FPS with by FAR the most overarching influence ever.Literally not a single thing HL introduced, barring, possibly, the skeletal animation, was in any way a definite improvement over what the genre already had in one form or another.

No matter what you think this game ruined fps.
It was never innovative and overshadowed superior games like Unreal and Sin.
Old /vr/ hated it.

Reminder old /vr/ hated this game.
It was never a classic.
There is a reason indie are based on old school fps and not this garbage.

Zoomer garbage.
Can't compare with Doom or Quake.

Still shit.
Compare it to other fps and you will see im right.
Killed the genre.
Linearity is cringe.

The golden age of fps video games began in 1993 with the release of doom, and ended in 1998 with the release of half life. Half life’s flaws become more and more apparent with each passing day and many are becoming aware it simply isn’t that great of a game.

It killed the genre.
RPGCodex, gog, 8c*an, old /vr/ all agree with this.

Play Doom and you will see this game level design sucks.
Linearity is cancer.
You only like it because you never played other better fps like powerslave, blood or unreal.

He's right

Remember when we rightfully shit on this game for killing the genre.
Jannies don't like that.
Now zoomers pretend it's a classic.

It killed non linear fps.
The Halo/COD of it's time.

>le cinematic experience xd
It killed non linearity in shooters.
Inferior to Unreal, Sin and other previous fps.
No wonder old /vr/ hated it and prefered doom.

Cinematic scripted garbage that ruined gaming.
Compare the level design of previous fps like Unreal, Duke, Quake, Powerslave, Dark Forces II and you will see it's garbage.
Old /vr/ hated it.

How can you think this is one of the best fps when it ruined the genre?
>muh mods
Sucked.
Overrated game.
If came to /vr/ on 2020 you will think it's a masterpiece. If you are an oldfag from 2013 you will see it ruined fps forever. Can't compare with Ultima Underworld, Thief, System Shock, Deus Ex, Doom, Quake, Duke, Blood, Unreal, Marathon, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Cybermage, Strife, Sin, Dark Forces, Shadow Warrior, Tribes, Powerslave, the list goes on...

Shit game, shit legacy.
Doom and Quake chads hated it.
Never /vr/ core.
Never respected here.

Half Life, Goldeneye, Quake 2, Perfect Dark, CS all zoomer garbage that ruined the genre forever. Doom clones were better. Not /vr/ core.

Admit it. It ruined the genre forever. You can't possibly think this game is as good as Quake, Doom, Duke, Blood, Unreal or immersive sims.

/vr/ always hated this game for killing fps. (Archives from 2013-2015 prove it)
But now you aren't allowed to dislike it anymore thanks to jannies and 6th gen zoomers.
/v/edditors grew up with this tripe.

>takes credit from Marathon, immersive sims, Goldeneye, Duke, Cybermage, Strife, Dark Forces 2, Quake 2, Unreal
>dumbed down the concepts
>genre forever ruined
No wonder old /vr/ hated this game
