I've never played any Half Life games

[seco]

Bad combat
Bad level design (linear shit instead of maze non linear shit)
Bad story and storytelling (unskippable custscenes lmao)
Bad characters
Bad AI
Bad weapons and bestiary
Realism
The list goes on...

Bad AI in Half-Life? That's a new one. It's one of the few examples I can think of in first person shooters where different enemy types have different AI profiles and enemy chatter. Only game that does it better is FEAR 1 and maybe Halo's grunts.

Life is but an unskippable cutscene. Awful storytelling.

Movie games started because HL.
You can't name a single positive thing this game brought to the medium.

 

[Morenatsu.]

We had literal ‘movie games’ before HL was even a thing. Developers wanted to emulate films, always has been.

 

[Silentstorm]

Some even outright told you that in their name, Cinemaware, most known for Amiga games, outright had cinema in their name and they had a bunch of cinephiles making games.

 

[seco]

i mean did valve ever make a good game?

 

[seco]

HL on the right.

 

[octavius]

HL on the right.

Nah, it misses the jumping puzzles.

 

[Morenatsu.]

Wow we're poasting old moldy pix nao

 

[seco]

HL is not decline guys!!!.... truly a masterpiece compared to 90's fps.

 

[Morenatsu.]

I mean, there wouldn't really be any point allowing a right turn there anyway. Might as well cut features only retards will use.

 

[schru]

That's a fair criticism for once. The lair could have been at least a little labyrinthine rather than being an almost completely guided impression of being chased. Of course, the people at Valve fully knew what they were doing.

 

[Morenatsu.]

I saw a prototype of that map once, it was more open, I guess, but I'm not sure how well that'd actually work. It really doesn't feel like something Valve would ever commit to, anyway.

But if we're literally just talking about that one turn specifically, who cares? You'd all turn left anyway, right? Well, maybe seco wouldn't.

Half-Life Blue Shift 1.0 Disc HDpack, rumors, can be patched over with Opposing Force 1.0 Disc, then Decay PC after completing which, Hard, sequentially, Exodus from the Earth, English, serves as a postscript, epigraph to the sequence, nohl.
Using initial releases only, Half-Life can be thus, rumors, perfectly overcome.
Black Mesa Xen is effectively Exodus-And-Edanna (Exodus from the Earth as Black Mesa with Myst 3 Edanna as Xen) dealt with as such.
Key weapons, rumors, are pistol, underbarrel, rocket launcher unguided and threebarrel respectively.
Point is killing C, C-scientific included.
This serves Part Two, never mind.

Stroke or rogue AI?

 

[Nifft Batuff]

Seco is right.

 

[Morenatsu.]

You can't agree with someone who isn't a person.

Chaser (contra HL2 leak), Opposing Force unpatched HL-absent, Blue Shift unpatched HL-absent, DecayPC HL-absent, Exodus from the Earth (after HL1 proper); nevermind.
