SEETHING DOOMBABBY

DOOM IS FUCKING GARBAGE
FUCK ID GAMES.

>>5205824
that stuff was a fresh experiance 1998, in 2004 it had gotten old

>>5205824
a 1 hour long semi-interactive cutscene was groundbreaking for 1998

>dude it's like I'm in a movie

you zoomers just won't get it

>>5206169
Yeah, its "groundbreaking' in the same sense that Horse Armor was "groundbreaking" for the mid 2000s.

>>5206181
seething doombabby

go back to the circlejerk doom thread.

>>5206190
Doom and Halflife aren't the only FPS games.

>>5206198
see>>5206195

Oh look it's THIS thread again

>>5206201
No one plays Halflife games anymore. They were just a fad for a while and have rightly been left in the dustbin of history now that the hype is gone.

kys anti hl1 barneyfag

>>5206204
What did you expect of doombabbies?
icycalm was right doomfags are autistic as fuck

>>5205824
This game is fucking overhyped shit

>>5206220
yeah doom is overrated as fuck

Now that the dust has settled, I think we can agree that Halo is the best classic FPS series, and the most fun to play in 2018.

I know it's you ESL RPGcodex guy. Your writing style always gives it away.

>>5206224
>Comparing Doom to the shitty HL
KYS

>>5206256
you got that backwards

>>5205824
This but unironically, Half Life was one of the games that ruined video games.

>>5205837
>>5205838

Slow down with the caps lock sport, you might kill someone.

>>5206334
>>muh doom clones
kys

>>5206359
But I like Quake

>>5206374
and you hate hl so fuck off

>>5206375
Because HL staked out a really bad course for shooters.

>>5206386
no it didnt retard.

>>5205824
It's still the best "being inside of a movie" simulator ever. If you're playing it as a "FPS" then you're approaching the game with the completely wrong mindset.

quake is a fucking tech demo. Duke nukem 3d was better.
I swear idfags have the worst taste in fps games

>>5206392
no is a good fps game. back to doom clones shitter

i hate nu /vr/ so fucking much>>5205842

>this thread got replies
Good job, OP. I really commend you.

>>5206469
doombabbies cant help themselves. look at these this retarded posts>>5206469>>5206386>>5206334

>>5205824
Half Life gave us Counter Strike, which will forever be the greatest competitive fps game, so some good came from HL. CAL-main+ competitive play is better than every fps game in terms of strategy and raw aim.

>>5206181
>obviously wasn't there

>>5206480

Where's the RPGCodex screenshots buddy? You're slipping, and I'm disappointed.

>>5206480
hahahahahahahaha i'm gay

I hate video games

>>5205824
honestly the first levels were great and immersive but the marines plus that whole drag on an electrified rail pushing buttons and the last levels being awkward and tedious platforming killed the experience for me

Is it bad that I want a "game" that takes place entirely in the Black Mesa compound but nothing happens so you can just explore it and fuck around?

I always liked it as a setpiece.

>>5206571
the marines were great tho.

>hl ruined ga-

You'll just have to wait until after the experiment.

>>5205824
This is bait but the part of the tram ride being boring is so true, that should have been 30 seconds long at most.

>>5205824
Stop making bait threads here please. If you dont like Half Life or MGS or OOT just suck it up and stop whining. lets not turn this place into /v/

The intro is cool, but it gets tiring after a while. I have a special save right at the start of Unforseen Consequences with the secret Battery from the pre-disaster locker area picked up so I don't have to go through it anymore.

>>5205824
NO DARGH STAHP HEUAH

>>5205824
>boring train ride
For the first time it was anything but boring. It gave you the proper introduction to what Black Mesa is and how serious the business is.
>boring science experiment
If science is boring for you then you should just kill yourself honestly.
>boring linear corridors
A breath of fresh air after half-decade of keyhunting in Doom clones.
>Half Life was a mistake.
No, it wasn't. It steered the industry in the wrong direction, but it was a damn good game.

>>5205824
HL1 was quite fun. Unlike HL2, which ONLY made it because of its "new cool Source engine".

>>5206181
Train ride is not a business practic so you are obviously wrong.

>>5206819
except it influenced ss2 and deus ex. so it wasnt all bad.

>>5206675
>the “Nirvana” of computer gaming
My fucking sides, this "The Citizen Kane of gaming"/"The Dark Souls of genre" crap really is as old as mankind.

>>5206832
doom influence wasnt that good

>>5205824
>boring train ride
map c1a0

>>5205826
The first one is so much better.
I can only stand the second one in multiplayer and even then it's because you can grief with physics.

>that zoomer who tries to disguise itself as an oldfag

>>5206226
Halo: CE is one of the most fun FPSs there are and people just hate it because it was popular and not niche in any way

When I first saw Halflife on a game shelf I thought it was some sort of Fallout ripoff based on the title. Since I don't generally pick up games with terrible cover art, I didn't give it any further thought. Eventually played it from a friend's disk. Its the sort of game thats fun for a play, but has little staying power. Day of Defeat and Counterstrike, however, I played for like 2 years straight. Halflife is by far the best modded game.

>>5207582
Nah, I dislike it because it had an ugly art style and bad science fiction. You can also smell it's Mac roots from a mile away.

>>5207743
I disagree, art style and story is great in Halo CE. My main problem with it is the copy pasted map segments. Fighting through the same corridor 4 times in a row gets boring fast

Half Life was great because it was original. The problem was with other game designers thinking that slow story = good rather than original = good.

>>5206827
>except it influenced ss2 and deus ex. so it wasnt all bad.
that was goldeneye, sweaty

>>5205837
>>5205838

Why would you assume this is all about Doom? Heretic, Quake, Unreal, Blood, Duke 3D, and many others are all far more interesting than Half Life.

>>5207743
>You can also smell it's Mac roots from a mile away.
How? Genuine question.

goldsrc still is the single best FPS experience in existence, eat a dick

Half Life is garbage. Deus Ex styles all over this tripe.

>doomclones & wavespawn-brainless shooters die out
>wah wah why did the free market adapt itself

>>5208161
Deus ex is fucking garbage

>>5208094
Hahha no
Muh doom clones.kys

Why /vr/ hates hl so much?
Why is so hard for you to accept that hl is considered a classic like doom and quake with a great modding scene?

Fucking garbage board. All of you plebs.

Reminder that Half-Life is just an arcade shooter with scripted cutscenes.

>>5207817
No, hl and goldeneye influenced deus ex.

>>5208285
Nope, that was the first System Shock.

Based Looking Glass Studios.

What a retard.

>>5208278
Because it’s influence changed games going foward from GAMES into Interactive Movies. Which suck.

>>5208526
No it didnt fucking retard

>The entire game was one cut!

>>5208161
worst post in whole thread

>>5205842
Oh my god, is this that one Youtube faggot from /v/?

Doom 1-2 and Duke Nukem 3D are the only FPS games worth playing, maybe Shadow Warrior or Blood.

Everything else is garbage, particularly those "modern" corridor shooters with yellow flashing items (here you go babby, this is the path), boring cutscenes, boring animation/graphics (woohoo, that timber is falling soooo realistically from the roof omgfpstime!!!), FUCKING NPCS (who the fuck cares????)

>>5209005
Marathon was here.

Doom and Duke are for plebs.

>>5207582
I've been saying this for years; the Halo series is great, Call of Duty is fun too; it's just cool to hate those series because they're popular with the jock/fratboy crowd (which I'll happily concede is a perfectly valid reason to hate something).

>>5205824
I guess you got laughed out of /doom/, huh?

ITT: People that have never played Half-Life but are shitting on it because it started a trend in game development they don't like instead of judging the game on its own merits

>>5205824
>Fuck that game
>No fuck that game
>boy dont you miss when games were simpler
Its is like 2016s /v/ all over again. Hope you gooks get out of here soon

>>5205824
No, this is a mistake.

Janitors and Mods, could you guys please close this thread, ban the OP and raise the anti /v/ wall?
