Easy for you to say now. It was a huge difference at the time. More dumb bait.

this, it's almost as bad as Doom with its lack of narrative incentive

HL1 exposition isn't too bad other than waiting to get in the test chamber. It's fairly well paced.
HL2 is damn near unplayable because of it. Meeting Kleiner and meeting Eli for the first time might as well be 5 minute loading screens for all the fun they provide. The worst one is meeting Dr Breen including the ride to there.

Half-Life was actually praised for the brevity and execution of its story in the era when CD and cutscenes were the big thing.

i actually may have been talking about hl2 all along, didnt played 1 since 2002

When did Valve ever say the game doesn't have cutscenes? That's the real question I always ask myself in the face of these weird gotchas. The axiom is: story bad, game have story, so game bad. I don't see how anyone can find this compelling to discuss.

And story is in quotes by the way.

Ironically all those scenes in HL2 would be better as cutscenes because at least then you'd be able to skip them.
Would be even better if the story weren't trash. HL1 is no masterpiece of writing but its story's still good in the same way that a fun action movie's plot is good.

I love half life 1 to death and the OP is clearly bait but all the unskippable exposition in HL2 can suck my dick.
