This game has aged poorly. sad because the first Half-Life and its expansions have aged like fine wine

it's because it's stealth game

Half-Life 2: Remastered by Filip Victor soon bros

Don't be stupid. That's verifiably untrue. Zombies will shake their heads, alien grunts and slaves will flinch and flee, HECU will flee, etc.

boring tech demo with weightless zero impact guns

>Half-Life 1 enemies dont even react to your gunshots
this is just wrong

Does any game give of dystopian oppression like hl2? I still love the music and the feeling of how fucked and empty the world is as you drive along the coastal freeway. Fuck bros, I gotta reinstall. I really wished death stranding have me this feeling again, but it's not there.

>Half Life 1 enemies don't even react to your gunshots.
Yes they do, don't talk rubbish.

Nah, nigga. It's just you played HL1 when you were much younger, so the nostalgia is stronger.
Both games were great at the time, but neither aged too well. Fuck off.

Neither HL1 or HL2 have proper hitstun for enemies being shot, at most they just occasionally enter a pain or fleeing state.

kek

It was always a glorified tech demo

As someone who LIKED the Cinematic mod alot and did not ride the hate train, it gave it a whole new shine.

Still among my favorite games.

Fpbp

Half Life 2 was the original movie game.

No dude its the opposite way around. I love half life 1 and 2, but after going back to both games after many years, 1 feels way too janky. Especially the final area.

Both Half-life games are garbage user

THIS.

Because jap devs are simply not as competent

There were movie games well before HL2. Movie games date back to like the mid 90s. Back in the day shit like Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid were lauded for basically being interactive movies.

>Back in the day shit like Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid were lauded for basically being interactive movies.
You're retarded. Things like Heavy Rain, Detroit, Until Dawn are literal movie games. "Movie game" is thrown around on Zig Forums as a derogatory term against games that restrict player progression by masquerading cutscenes as "gameplay". MGS1, Silent Hill and Resident Evil do not do this. There is no difference between Last of Us / Uncharted and Half Life 2 / Portal 2.

u mad bro?

Movie game is a vaguely defined term mostly used against games that are considered to sacrifice gameplay and player freedom in the name of story, presentation, etc. HL2 is not a movie game because it has glorified unskippable cutscenes. SH is a movie game. I know that because my dad, who hates video games, watched me play it and afterwards said "That was better than your other games. It's more a movie than a game."

None of the Half Life games were ever good, AND they have gotten even worse as they aged.

Yes, so cutscenes being paraded around as "gameplay", just like Half Life 2. Exactly NOT LIKE Silent Hill.

They could just hire a slav art director, like Valve did.

same same

At least in half life the stretches of isolated gameplay are so long that most of the walk and talk segments felt the same as the occasional cut scene breather rather than a regular interruption that affected gameplay flow.

>get to boat part

Da fuck? The boat section is one off the best parts.

It flows. Gameplay is smooth and tight.
