Unforeseen consequences.

disappointment

Expect a pretty cool game. I played Half-Life 2 first, but got really interested in the series and had a lot of fun when I played the first one and its expansion packs.

>What should I expect?

One of the greatest games ever made.

Mediocre game

barnacles

More fun than Half-Life 2 IMO
less annoying NPCs following you around

The test chamber.

great fps.

A great single player first person shooter experience. A first of its kind actually.

Boring first few minutes. SHTF real fast. Late 90s gunplay.

these two are faggots

half-life has more content is more challenging and rewards you better with shots and actually has recoil on the guns

Something that has not existed on a AAA game since around that era

Oh baby.

No, half life is boring and extremely overrated. Recoil is barely an obstacle.

the best game of the 90s that permanently changed the way first person games were done

No it isnt it is a great game and there has not been recoil in any major titles since around this era

fpbs

>he doesn't engross himself in the atmosphere of the early game

pleb

>more challenging

>bulletsponge enemies, shitty platforming sections

If you don't like half life, you simply didn't play it around the time it came out.

Partly nostalgia, but also an appreciation for the things it did different to most games at the time.

>half life instead of half-life

Opinion disregarded.

You can say that shit when you want to make excuses for HL2. HL1 is good right now.

an extremely dated game that will leave you bored as fuck

you're one of those autists that spells Valve as VALVᵉ aren't you?

superior recoil compared to modern titles
>dated

it's a lot harder to appreciate the game today if you've already played a lot of modern titles that copy half life 1

Half life is a good game because it's a good shooter with good mechanics and good guns. Not because of some train ride at the beginning or npcs that open doors for you.

This. Get Black Mesa instead

fuck off

black mesa is shit

yep worse recoil and slower movement is is a good thing

>le xenless soap opera slow half life

>slower movement
it's slower than original? fuck

a lot of fun user, better gunplay than HL2 if you ask me

Don't forget neutering the grunt's AI to basically be walking turrets.

Bunny hopping

the audio is shit

everything sounds off
weapons don't sound right
animations are shit
everyone looks the same

A game you will love for half your life

One of the worst games ever made. Trial and error gameplay, terrible ladder physics, the list goes on.

significantly.

Gordon in HL1 runs at about the same speed as you do in Quake

Honestly I enjoyed this game more than HL2. HL1 is a very solid game with a lot of fun shit

Fuck HL2. It's overrated. Come at me

On A Rail fucking sucks

HEY CATCH ME LATER I'LL BUY YA A BEER

Everything is right except your last point
literally all but one security guard is the same

>two points
>the list goes on
faggot

Find the half life section

Wait, what's the issue here? Are you trying to troll?

I don't understand, was this supposed to be hard? You have quicksaving.
The hardest part was that the retarded guard at the top came outside to shoot the thing. I had to shoot him so he didn't block my way.

Demons souls loading screens desu

HL1 is miles better than HL2

Better atmosphere, better gunplay, better enemies, better puzzles, Xen, no Alex, scary water enemies, Military coverups. Perfectly captures the conspiratorial, paranoid feeling of the 1990s.

Literally superior in every way. Anyone who says otherwise is a teenager.

>remember this taking forever as a kid
>do it again as an adult in like 20 minutes

Everything seems to work that way but this one really stands out to me.

Thanks for posting this one friend
>This year's E3

A decent fps that unfortunately overshadowed far better ones from the same year.

/thread.

>everyone looks the same
I love Hl1 as well, but please.

did you faggots try to save the scientist?
I shot him once and broke the cutscene, but he wouldn't talk to me :(

Now user, this isn't a HL2 thread. Don't be that guy.

>old school fps thread

>WOW HEY GUYS DID YOU HEAR ABOUT UNREAL? IT'S THE BEST TRUCKING GAME EVER. NO I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT UNREAL TOURNAMENT, I'M TALKING ABOUT UNREAL, I KNOW YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT, BUT JUST TAKE MY WORD THAT IT'S BETTER THAN EVERY OTHER CELEBRATED FPS IN HISTORY

I only played Blue Shift anytime near its release, and had a blast when I finally played through HL a few years back.

Never happens. Did you mean to say Blood? Since that's what happens and then a dozen webms are posted.

>there will never be a Half Life thread without obnoxious wannabe shills for other games that won't just make their own fucking threads

The leaked Hl2 stuff looks as if it would have made a far greater game. Not that HL2 wasn't great at release.

A fantastic game that has aged like fine wine
I have been having a lot of fun with mods recently, just finished Azure Sheep and Half-Quake

Unreal is definitely really underrated, those guns and music were great
But UT was much better game

The proper protocol is to bring it up when people start saying shit about HL inventing stuff. Not randomly like that guy.

>platforming
>bad

It happens in literally every half-life thread.

On A Rail

If Blue Shift came out before Opposing Force it would have been better received

>Boy Half-Quake was great now I gotta try Half-Life Amen
>It's fucking shit
o-okay.

>Best
Lambda Core

>Worst
Interloper

>Overrated
Surface Tension

>Underrated
Residue Processing

I think most people just find it tedious

I like how none of those scenes that are in the screenshots appear in the game.

Can we talk about how much better HL1 is than HL2 and how HL2 is overrated as fuck?

>Best
Black Mesa Inbound

>Worst
Questionable Ethics

>Overrated
Xen

>Underrated
Hazard Course

The beta build of HL2 looked god tier. After the redesign I was so disappointed with it.

>not this piece of shit
>literally so unmemorable i can't even remember his name
I mean, it's the final boss, but it's probably the worst part of the game by a huge stretch.

>Best
Office Complex

>Worst
Interloper

>Overrated
Surface Tension

Why does Half-Life go retarded the last chapter? it always felt off compared to the whole game

that's why it's so memorable

Xen is the best part of the game.

yeah i honestly don't get why so many people hate it

there's just that one part that fucking sucks and that's the one with the big platform full of those alien trampolines

for years i thought you actually had to take damage from them but it turns out you have to crawl in some really well hidden tiny hole

I just started this yesterday. Currently at Blast Pit. I also got it to play through the They Hunger mods I played as a kid.

How much of it do you remember? A lot if it is really good but it starts getting weird in the third chapter.

>dated
when will this meme end?

I don't know, I liked that fucker, and he sure as fuck was memorable. Killing the final boss with a crowbar is really satisfying.

I meant I couldn't remember his name.
It's only ever shown before you start the boss fight.
I did remember the fight itself and how much I didn't like it.

He's more memorable than the final boss of Blue Shift.

A lot of the alpha/beta stuff from '97 has been reused to some degree mostly pertaining to levels. As far as I see, only the story and, from gameplay perspective, characters had any dramatic change.

Because its supposed to? I guess it depends on what you mean by off, but I thought it was a really cool way, felt appropriately alien.

Fun game, shit final boss

wait a second

There's no sprint in Half-Life. Quake has sprint.

They Hunger is GOAT HL mod even though last episode was a bit meh

Gordon runs like a motherfucker at all times. Combine that with bunny hopping, gauss boosts, and grenade jumps and you can fly. Black Mesa has very slow movement speed without sprint(which is limited) and as far as I know has no boosts.
