>Linear, scripted, 'cinematic' shooters a la Half Life killed Doom-style FPS
You know what I don't like most about Half Life? That I'm supposed to love it. That I can't criticize it without being crucified. I have to love the long, drawn out intro. I have to love the pointless scripted events. I have to love the boring puzzles. I have to love that the levels are based on realistic-looking locations instead of abstract fantasy worlds. I have to love the 3D platforming. I have to love it because /v/ said so. I have to love it because it somehow made everything better, it saved us from having to play exciting games like Quake or Hexen in the future. I have to love it because it was the future, and Valve can do no wrong. It's not really a bad game, but I can't just like it. I have to love it.
