Cringe

I cant handle the intro, way too much unskipable and boring bullshit. I have had HL since 2002 when I bought CS and have yet to finish it.

half life mods created their own franchises, from counterstrike to team fortress, i cant think of many that managed this

>>7350371
go put the kettle on or have a smoke/shit, its not like you have to do anything during the train ride

>>7350381
>put the kettle on
I only do this when making ramen. I can see why brits love electric kettles though, very handy

>>7350037
Never played it

>cannot think of a single flaw
Gimmicky, garbage weapons
Movement feels like it's on ice
Insanely, mind-numbingly linear to the point where it's not even fun
The entire last part of the game where you have a pain in the ass goddamn jump gimmick that doesn't even work that well and you're expected to use it to get everywhere and now it's a fucking Mario 64 no depth perception trash 3d platformer.
It's nothing BUT flaws. It's a bad game and one of the games that begun the style-over-substance era that ruined gaming.

HL1 is really well done through blast pit and then kinda sucks

Gordon needs to get from point A to point B to do his job and complete the story, of course it's a linear game.

The long jump module works perfectly fine. You are just trash at the game.

>50000 soldiers to kill right after killing 5000 soldiers in questionable ethics
It just didn’t really impress me
Lambda core and interloper are alright

>>50000 soldiers to kill right after killing 5000 soldiers in questionable ethics
yes and tanks and a helicopter and you can kill a gargantua with airstrikes, pretty based non stop action

this,
also all valve games are utterly shit

>>7350482
Highly exaggerated.

Weapons are fine. Movement could be better. The jump module is not great but serviceable. Zen is fucking horrible and all the gamebreaking bugs were saved for this part of the game - I've had numerous bugs that prevent progression in several areas in Zen that required loading a save from the previous level to 'reboot' these levels.

It isn't nothing but flaws, but the things it does poorly are done extremely poorly.

>>7350037
Why is there a soiboi in OP's pic

>>7350656
Xen is a casual filter

This is a reverse alf post, he is exaggerating to shit on it

My problem is that Half-Life killed the Golden Age of FPS which began in 1992 with the release of Wolfenstein 3Ds shareware and ended on November 19, 1998 with the release of Gay-Life.

>>7350786
you are an obsessed faggot

>>7350793
I'm not the one making obvious bait threads implying that Half-Life is good.

>>7350797
not the one seething over the mention of the game lol

>>7350805
Where is the seethe faggot? I am simply stating facts. You're the one trying to harvest (You)s by making HL is the best bait threads.

>>7350037
This game unironically made me believe in the existence of extra-dimensional aliens

>>7350809
Not bait here HL is good.
Same with Perfect Dark, Turok, Unreal and other fps you tried to shit on.
All better than the meme game ROTT.

>>7350037
Quake 2 > Quake 1 > half a trash pile 1-2

>>7351230
Shit taste

It's hilarious how some retards actively shit on Half-Life, i guess they prefer inferior games such as DumB in which you run around in boring "surreal" corridors decorated with shit textures that act more like wallpaper rather than actual detail, shooting up cardboard cutouts of retarded looking halloween monsters with toy guns.

>>7350375
both got their origins from quake

>>7351230
>Q2 over anything, ever
no
>>7351498
>DumB
you didn't even try.

>>7350786
Nah it was this piece of shit, GTFO.

>>7351564
No, I would argue that Half-Life changed the entire genre almost overnight into boring story driven shit instead of what it was on the Golden Age, games like Doom 1/2, Shadow Warrior, Blood, Duke, ROTT, Quake etc before Halo.

>>7351575
PC games after Half-Life = Deus Ex
PC games after Halo = Deus Ex: Invisible War

I rest my case, Alf.

>>7350818
Rise of the Triad was the first FPS with rocket jumping, first with jump pads (that enemies can use to, leading to mid air shootouts up to five stories high) first with 11 player multiplayer, first with gore settings and parental locks, first with missle chase cam and a shit ton more. A game unbelievably ahead of it's time.

>>7351586
Deus Ex is based but hardly an FPS in the traditional sense

>>7351621
only mongs call deus ex and new vegas an FPS, it's not meant to be about gunplay

>>7350623
it's funny how retards like you associate anything remotely intellectual with reddit.

>>7351575
they are all shit, before and after half life, fps was always a shit genre

>>7351715

>>7351735
post your face, I bet you 100% look like a soi-incel, its why you think this works, its your own insecurity

>>7351616
not even the retro fps general likes this shit game

>>7351926
Plenty do, there is just a few of very vocal zoomers and newfags who pathetically hate on it just to spite Alf

Reminder that you got btfo on Doomworld

>>7351926
Just wait until the new official sourceport hits all consoles and PC this year and people get to experience the multiplayer and the game with modern QoL improvements that still aren't really an option for it since there is no good sourceport.

you fucking faggots have your own containment thread for this shit. stop shitting up the rest of /vr/ with it.

>>7351946
How did I get BTFO'd? A bunch of retards took my bait and were discussing what I posted and then I called Doomkid a fat tranny and got permabanned. Seethe faggot.

>>7351953
he makes these threads because the general told him to fuck off like usual

>>7351953
Agreed, no one cares about your gay infighting and circlejerking, keep it in your thread

>>7351958
Retard that is all the same thread, I made one thread there and got permabanned the same day. When have I ever cared if trannies tell me to "fuck off" in the general, half the time I am the OP of those threads. I've been here since the beginning and am not going anywhere, stay mad

>>7351968
Why persist? Even the Brutal Doom guy Sargent Mark IV said in that Doomworld thread that you have been doing this for years and don't even get a reaction anymore. Why bother?

>>7351741
>post your face

>>7351979

lmao

>>7351974
The truth never changes and Half-Life will never be good. Cope.
