There's nothing wrong with linear FPS and the fact that later imitators of HL were lazy doesn't reflect on HL or Valve.

Medal of Honor was much more linear and cinematic than Half Life

Why don't you just go watch a movie or something instead?

>>6884780

Medal of honor came out after Half-Life

>> No.6884798

>>6884543
Because they conflate it with HL2. In HL1 the only times the game stops to be "cinematic" is the opening and resonance cascade.
>>6884791
>Why don't you just go watch a movie or something instead?
Because you can't interact with a movie dumbass.

No, I call shooting enemies, solving puzzles, and calling in air strikes interaction. Do you think linear side scrollers on the NES are linear cinematic bullshit too?

You're clearly a zoomer who only knows HL1 second hand based on what you've heard about HL2. I don't anyone here has ever played HL1 start to finish.

This is a lie.
Even when CS was in all events and cybercafes Quake and UT were at its peak as well.
UT3 being a piece of turd killed the arena genre. No decent follow-up to Q3 killed the arena genre.
Zoomers not being interested in arena shooters because they cant handle the skill requirements killed the arena genre.
Perhaps you could say CoD did his part. But not CS, CS was decent at least and co-existed with arena shooter glory just fine.

Want my honest opinion? I think it’s boring, the story isn’t interesting at all, the ost isn’t memorable, the environments don’t wow me and the enemies aren’t particularly interesting. It’s far from an outright bad game, but it’s a very average shooter that doesn’t really interest me much.

Boomers don't hate HL. Its just a bunch of obsessed spergs ranging ages 25 to 40.
I love all of those games, grew up with Doom, Duke and Quake.
I hate with my guts modern FPS.
HL is great and nothing like them, you can direct your hatred to Call of Duty, now that is a piece of shit linear, uninteresting game that introduced quest markers and autosaved checkpoint every 5 minutes, fuck CoD (or was it Medal of Horror?)

/vr/ doesn't hate half life except for maybe 1 autistic thief fag. Well, at least old /vr/. Anybody who goes on a tangent about how Half-Life ruined gaymen because it wasn't another fucking doom clone most likely only started browsing after 6th gen was allowed and never played a classic shooter outside of doom who's favorite video game is doom eternal.

It's a shooter with some of the worst shooting compared to its peers. It's a grand adventure spanning dimensions, largely confined to grey and brown industrial buildings. The only thing pulling it all together is the story. The mystery around what the fuck happened and how can you possibly fix it all.

And then to top it all off, they did a cop-out sequel bait non-ending. Imagine going through all of that shit and not instantly recognizing it as a shit game.
