worth it?

>>322282574
yeah definitely

release order

very important
>>
>>322282574
Skip Blue Shift.

HL1 + OpForce are great though.
>>
>>322282574
No. They're not bad, but they're probably the most overrated game series. You'll going in expecting them to be much more than they actually are and will only be disappointed.
>>
>>322282574
Not really. People think Half-Life 2 was some godly game but it's just boring by today's standards. It's nothing you haven't seen before.

Besides the games are like fucking fifteen years old. Don't spend money on it, pirate it.
>>
First one is amusing and do some interesting stuff, specially compared to modern FPS
Second one just try to run on legacy and memes
>>
Yes.

Every game except Blue Shift is fantastic. Still play it though.
>>
They all are really short. About 4 hours for HL1, 8 for HL2, and about 2 hours for the episodes.
>>
>>322282574
They suffer from the Seinfeld effect

It's only really worth it for nostalgia
>>
10 years ago they were
Outdated now
>>
>>322282574
just play opfor, the rest is not worthwhile anymore although fantastic for their time
>>
>>322282574
Opposing force is easily the best one
>>
>>322282852

Blue Shift is my guilty pleasure
>>
>>322282574
Totally!
Do NOT play the "Source" version of HL1 though. It is shit.

>>322282758
I don't get this mentality at all. Just what kind of vivid dream worlds do you people live in, in order to get THAT disappointed of some still genuinely great fun and atmospheric titles like these?
>>
Yeah they are good games, perhaps they were great at the time, but I didn't play them at release. Overrated for sure but they are still a good romp through.

Have fun OP.
>>
>>322282997
>It's only really worth it for nostalgia
Is 2010 already capable of inflicting nostalgia? Because that's when I personally played HL series in whole, and I loved them.

>>322283082
>rest is not worthwhile anymore
fuck of to grave.
>>
>>322282574
Overrated fps. They're good games but not as good as most people say they are.
>>
>>322282997
Seinfeld is still top 3 television sitcoms in 2015+1

HL series can't claim that
>>
>>322283000
And yet /v/ still praises games like Deus Ex 1, System Shock 2, Goldeneye, Doom 1, etc.

You can't seriously tell me you think Goldeneye 007 is still a good FPS by today's standards.

Learn to appreciate the games keeping in mind the timeline they were released in.
>>
>>322283497
Yea, because video gaming is growing. Television is dying.
>>
>>322283204
You only think it's some amazing game because of nostalgia and it's what the Internet hivemind tells you to think. They're pretty average games and not as godlike as everyone seems to make out. People who haven't played before will go into the games expecting them to live up to the hype conveyed by the rest of the Internet, but the game will never deliver what they were expecting.

Like the other guy said, it's the Seinfeld effect. I never watched that show growing up in New Zealand, so I never got into it. Now I go on the Internet and everyone's praising it like it's the best and most funny show ever made, so I go to watch it and it's really not either of those things for me.
>>
>>322282574
Absolutely. A damn good series, and tons of mods for all of them.

HL1 was one of the first truly "modern" shooters after the initial "Doom clone" phase of FPS games, so it should be very easy to get into nowadays. Obviously the so-called "post-modern" features, like regenerating health and other cancer, are not present in them.
>>
hl2 and all its episodes are fantastic and you may find yourself thinking newer games are shit compared to its story and atmosphere. i never played any hl until last year and it kinda took me over for a while and then i got extremely gay with all the decent hl mods like cry of fear nightmare house 2 and others. its really fucking good try it. also torrent "blackmesa" its hl1 redone.

I started watching Seinfeld like 2 years ago and it's one of the best shows I've seen
>>
>>322283803
I've never said they'd be "god-like", but they were revolutionary and still very enjoyable. Nostalgia has nothing to do with it, especially when I spent my childhood with Nintendo's machines.

And that whole Seinfield shit is just fucking stupid comparison, pretty much moving the goalposts fallacy. You can add ANY TV-series or movie to its place, and the result would still be the same: Some people still won't like it, not back then, not right now.
>>
>>322283803
>You only think it's some amazing game because of nostalgia and it's what the Internet hivemind tells you to think
I first played this series back in 2012 and I loved it. If you think I love this series because of three-year-old nostalgia then you're out of your mind. If you think I spent about a hundred of hours replaying this series because the internet told me to, you're out of your mind.

half life 2 is kind of boring after you get over the physics gimmick but half life 1 is still pretty solid

Fuck no. Half Life has not aged well, like pretty much every Valve game. The series is overhyped big time. Also, there is no reason to give Valve money.
>>
>>322282574
honestly, if you didnt play Half life 1 when it came out you wont understand the hype at all. the enemy soldier AI and tense atmosphere of the time when people were used to just fragging random enemies or playing diablo wont go over well. its like going back and playing daggerfall or system shock 1

Not it's not, and that's not what moving the goalposts is.

You can't do it with anything, but I'll try just for you with some of the ones everyone rates as great:

>LOTR
Great
>Star Wars
Great
>Predator 1
Great
>Early Simpsons
Great
>Terminator
Great
>Seinfeld
Boring, especially for someone who doesn't have a burger for every meal and claps after

You're werid for thinking everyone should be part of a hivemind

>>322284204
I never said they were bad games, but the odds of people who haven't played it loving the game as much as you is extremely slim and most are just going to be disappointed

You're the opposite end of the spectrum of the people who praise anything the Internet says is great (seinfeld and half life). You're the loser who just has to pop into any conversation involving something popular and say it's bad just so you can be a special snowflake.
>>
>>322285340
lemme guess some you would shit on a show like seinfeld but probably fight to the death to defend some gay shit like red dwarf. typical euro-trash.
>>
>>322285525
Not a bait. Literally nobody around my area gives a fuck about Seinfield. I'd even bet many don't know what the hell it even is.

Meanwhile, Friends was THE big thing with teens & early adults, and now the more mature people are nostalgicing over it.

>Curb
literally never heard.

Anyway, Half-Life 1 is great. It's expansions are good to great. HL2 is great. HL3 never ever.

Nah these people are literally retarded. They are good op. Opfor is definitely the best in the series but they are all worth playing. Don't play the source port of hl1 though. It's buggy and worse than the original.

you like linear shooters like Bioshock? then yeah

A dozen or more critically acclaimed and globally loved games, for less than a tenner? Hell yes, that's a great deal! Fuck the haters, these games are just damn GOOD. Yeah, you're probably seen elements started by these games in numerous other titles by now (scripted cinematics, friendly AIs, puzzles...), but at least I didn't feel any less of say, System Shock 2, no matter that I'd played Doom 3 and DS before it.

I know that as well, but I have no desires to "fit in" to nonexistent circles anymore. I also liked the film versions of Harry Potter more than the books, because they actually MOVED at steady pace.

>>322287170
It was a VERY rushed port. It's literally HL1's maps and assets, thrown into Source-engine. The 20 yo art-style and assets conflict with the modern bloom and watershader effects, the added physics glitch out all the time, and the Source version's just DAMN. BUGGY.

Plus, it does not support any HL1 mods.

I am kinda in the same situation as you OP. Im halfway through half life 1 and to me, its starting to get good. It was boring as fuck as first, but I'm starting to appreciate the gameplay. My speakers kinda suck so I'm missing out of the dialogue, but it's solid so far. Do it OP.
>>
>>322287829
it's both the original tubeshooter, and totally different from the modern "cinematic" tubeshooters.

If more games had the design of HL's, notably less people would bitch and complain about the FPS genre. And kids playing them wouldn't be as dumb.
>>
>>322287996
Well, I guess that's kinda hard since even Valve themselves dropped the ball completely with the sequels.
>>
>>322288142

>>
>>322282574
They are solid games. 1st game is one of the best fps games of all time. The expansions are just more of the same though slightly less enjoyable. Half Life 2 is almost very fun. People call it a glorified tech demo which is retarded. There are some moments where valve incorporated it just to show off their physics though. It has an amazing atmosphere, one of the best in a fps game in my opinion. The shooting is pretty average and doesn't have much weight though. It and its episodes are all very enjoyable nonetheless.
>>
>>322288315
You are right, it isn't just a techdemo. It's also a showpiece for that Viktor-guy's art design.
Very little else, though.
>>
>>322287878
Yea Half-Life starts out slow. So does 2 but once they get going they are great.
>>
>>322282574
no
>>
>>322288142
They didn't. The sheer freedom of gameplay and environmental interaction are still miles above anything the typical CoD/BF offer us today.

>>322288460
Quit shitposting. Viktor wasn't even on the team for the episodes.
>>
>>322288142
no
>>
>>322288460
There was nothing really wrong with the gameplay. It was very average but I still fin mechanically. I liked the idea of the gravity gun. There are a lot of ideas that arent executed very well. The thing is I feel the atmosphere alone elevates the game as a whole to make it very good. It isn't the GOAT game like everyone claims it is but it is still a great game.
>>
>>322288549
Should I skip Opposing Force? I kinda want to go to Half Life 2 to test out my 144hz monitor, but everyone I know is either yes or no with Opposing Force.

Do you like linear first person shooters without any interesting gunplay or challenge?

If so, you'll love it. Otherwise, stay clear of it.
>>
>>322288869
Play it. The level design isn't that great but it's still very much worth playing.

>>322288869
Opposing Force is p. good IMO. Maybe you're thinking of Blue Shift.
>>
>>322288869
No
>>
>>322288869
OF and Blue Shit are really more of the same. If you liked HL you will like the expansions. They have new weapons to try out but really they are very similar. If you really want to you can just go to HL2 and come back later. Its not like there is some huge story you'll miss. I personally think OF is very fun but its up to you senpai.

Also, check out Bad Company since you brought up Battlefield and environmental interaction. That game has a little bit more going on than launching passive objects at enemy actors and pretending it's the epitome of environment interaction while ignoring the fact that the enemy behaviour and level design are absolute shit.

If you enjoy 1 then you should certainly check out OpFor as well.

Why is Reddit so obsessed in hating Half Life?

>>322283803

Seinfeld is only funny if you have lived in New York or an area with a large concentration of Jews. It's a very specific type of humor.

Honestly I love HL2 for its originality. I know I'll probably get shit on for this. But the areas you visit, the world as a whole seems so fresh. I got a unique vibe from the enemies you faced and the weapons you use. Its my favorite fps which is funny because I don't even like the shooting.
>>
>>322288869
Opposing Force is often considered as the better expansion. Sometimes even better than the core-game.

Personally I'd vouch for playing all the expansions. Blue-Shift is pretty much like a HL2 prototype.

>>322289139
>hurr delusions
you don't seem to understand a thing about crafting enjoyable gameplay.

Also environmental interaction =! destruction. The sheer way you can move on and yes, also interact with the levels, is seldom seen anymore in shooters.

Yep usually happens with games that start the whole thing.

When I saw HL2 for the first time the Physics blew my mind, being able to break a window into tiny pieces or a crate it was fucking glorious. Picking up Barrels, making them float in water.

I'd argue against that as well. The sheer directing and atmosphere make the whole game work very well. Just like HL1, 2 is also filled with very memorable setpieces, with pacing and mood changing smoothly in a wave-like motion to both let player's tune in to the new stuff and grab new story hints.

Plus, very few modern shooters offer you the same level of FREEDOM of choosing how to approach the conflicts and deal with them. You can even go all Quake and speedrun / bunnyhop / climb on impossibly small architecture if you so desire.

More like Jerry and his whole family. In real life, three of the four main actors are Jewish, as is of course Larry David, the producer (together with Jerry Seinfeld).
It's undeniably a pretty "jewy" show.

it is not but ok. you ever see jerry,kramer, elaine, or george celebrate any holiday...besides festivus. just because jerry's parents are jews doesnt mean the show is jewy. if that was the case then almost every show made in the u.s. besides seinfeld struck me as being incredibly christiany. george's last name is itialian and elaines is spanish. so other than a majority of the cast being jewish irl and jerrys parents actually jewish in the show why is it jewy?

and amazing MP (moreso in HL1)

>So?
Well the point was that Seinfeld is an example of Jewish type humor, which it is.

Americans may be used to this but there's probably a reason why Seinfeld is virtually unknown outside of America.

Pretty sure HL1 Deathmatch is dead, HL2 Deathmatch is still playable though

>>322293717

I'm from Latin America and I love Seinfeld.
>>
>>322282574
It's ok. Maybe at the time it was a masterpiece, but comparing it to today's standards it's not THAT good as some nostalgifags still claim.
>>
>>322292586
lol you are still way off but its funny how you went to the lengths to read a wiki only to come back with how a producer was skeptical about a show being pitched. so because tartikoff thought it to be jewy and so do you it must be true? so tartikoff said it liek 20 years ago and you say it now ...thats it , it is unanimous
>>
>>322293717

The Nanny which is an even more Jewish show was popular in all of Latin America, retard.
>>
>>322292885
the mitzvah was for elaines boss's son. in which she didnt even want to go and bought the kid a lame gift. the bris was for a mutual friend and nobody knew wtf a mohel. so noqw its because they had a jewish friend and a boss who was jewish the show is too jewy. i see you really invested alot of time in the show...
>>
>>322293717
>which it is
no, it isn't. just because you casually flipped through 30 seconds of an episode and labeled it that way doesnt make it true.

kinda off topic dont you think? or were you done trying to make your point?

>>322283583
But no one has released a game as good as Deus Ex for its freeform style. The only thing outdated about it are its graphics.

Play HL1, OP, BS and stop.
HL2 is bad and the Episodes are even worse especially Episode 1.

So get pic related instead.
>>
>>322294798
It's just that this website is 18+, that's all.

It's generally accepted and not even denied by Seinfeld or David that the humor of the show is very Jewish, after all that's one of the main "shticks" of the show, but if you guys think you know better go right ahead.

you get that one for free as you can see

Kind of this. HL2 is pretty good, but I have never understood the legendary status it has attained. The first game is much more enjoyable.
>>
>>322294895
Episode 2 is pretty amazing, though.
>>
>>322295285
>not even denied by Seinfeld or David that the humor of the show is very Jewish
show me then, or just keep trying to insult. its called humor. if your issue is that the main characters are jewish irl and you dont like it just say it. its not like jew hate would be groundbreaking thought here.
>>
>>322283497
and you wouldnt put HL in the top 3 fps with wolfenstein and call of duty? u dum
>>
>>322295859
This
HL2EP2 is my favorite of the series. Hunters, Zombine, and Antlion Workers blow every other enemy in the Half-Life series out of the water. The only flaws were the lack of new weapons and the short length.
>>
>>322295923
>its called humor
Yes and more specifically it's called New York Jewish type humor, nothing wrong with it just one type of humor like British humor or dark humor. No reason to deny this really, the creators sure don't.
>>
>>322286320
You forgot the Extras, but otherwise i'm ok with this.

Britain has a whole lot of shit unfunny comedy for plebs.

Mighty Boosh is ok too.
>>
>>322282574
>half-life complete

That seals the deal then. hl3 is never coming.

so again show me where they were asked. you seem to think because you feel that way makes true. no problem with it i just disagree and some others here do too.

blue shift is great if anything skip ep 1. That shit sucked.

There is no reason to use anything other than the pistol and the Dragon Tooth's sword

Also, remember to put all your points into swimming :^)

>>322296245
There's definitely a fair amount of Jewish humor, but there's nowhere near enough of it to the point where it gets off-putting.
>>
What's wrong with Blue Shift?
>>
>>322297590
its too "jewy"
>>
>>322297779
what do you mean by that? You get screwed out of stuff alot or something?
>>
>>322297779
>this kike still being mad af
>>
>>322297590

It's alot shorter compared to Opposing force and Half Life 1. Barney and all the other supporting characters in it don't have much impact to the events in Black Mesa as a whole.

I like the game myself, it's just it's own little self contained story that doesn't have much impact on anything else really.
>>
>>322282574
Everyone always talks about the Half-Life series either being too mainstream or too overblown. They complain that the gameplay isn't solid enough but they don't realize why the game is so damn popular. They game feels REAL. When Alyx awkwardly mentions the Zombine who on earth didn't do a sensible chuckle? When in the second game you need to speed past a train, who didn't think 'oh shit, train' and turbo that shit?

Beyond that, there were no complex physics puzzles. Everyone had a somewhat simple solution to continue on in your path. It didn't feel like it was overdone with the physics puzzles.
>>
>>322298031
im so mad im making jokes about how little you observe. also agnostic but would be willing to convert cause jewish girls have big cans. you done finding sources to cite yet?
>>
>>322298139
People dislike the physics puzzles because they screw with the pacing. They never really bothered me though.

It's not like Half-Life 1 didn't have its own crappy sections. Remember On a Rail? The platforming segments? Xen?

>>322298031
>this trendy 4chan fellow not realizing when he was made fun of

>>322298328
Well lmgtfy.com seems to be down at least for me, so you have to google "Seinfeld Jewish humor" yourself I guess if you can manage that. That's as far as I'll go to waste time on you, after all this is trivial shit.
>>
>>322298968
>People dislike the physics puzzles because they screw with the pacing

This was always a stupid argument.
>>
>>322299048
i dont have to google shit you were the one that made the statement "the creators themselves didnt even deny it" implying it was said to them and all i asked was for you to prove yourself. see ya soon buddy.
>>
>>322299161
It kinda has merit. One moment you're running from the Combine and the next moment you're putting bricks on a wooden board.
>>
>>322299250
Looks to me like if if you can't show me where they denied it then they didn't.

>Show me where that person didn't say XY!
okay m8
>>
>>322299653
its not my false statement, you seemed so sure of it like an hour ago what happened? not to mention if your lying ass can even find it then it doesn't exist never mind me trying to prove the opposite.its over man just let it go you cant always be right.

Because you can't find a non-quote, retard.

By your logic Curb doesn't have Jewish humor either because no one is willing to search the Internet for you for a direct quote from Larry David where he states what is painfully obvious to him and everyone else?
>>
>>322293801
theres always people playing HL1 DM
>>
>>322301730
i just asked you to back up a statement you made, and not only are you unable to but now you cant elt it go. remeber it was your statement you made confidently and not mine. you can sit here and try to argue me into believing you for an hour but you cant back up your bullshit? i thought we were done here anyway.
>>
>>322302052
The amount of typing mistakes in your post shows me you probably wrote this foaming at the mouth, barely able to contain yourself, thinking yourself clever. I said that the creators never denied the Jewish nature of the humor in Seinfeld, and they never did. There's really not much more to it.
>>
>>322302626
and now its about my typing skills or lack of. ive never denied that you were full of shit from the start and that you couldnt back up your own statements with fact either so i guess that is true also. im having a pretty good time actually and the fact you cant let it go means im foaming? are you ok dude? quit with all the diversion and stick to the point. fact is i dont think you know shit about the show besides going to the wiki page and reading one quote by tartikoff and ill add that it is the only mention of Judaism in the entire page. but yeah its all me lol.
>>
>>322303108
tl;dr

A simple Wikipedia or google search would show you that Seinfeld is usually taken as one of the prime examples of mainstream Jewish humor in television. I'm not going to give you the satisfaction and pick them out for you because obviously you're a troll and this isn't an actual discussion.

Closing this thread now, good bye. Don't forget what I said about the 18+ nature of this website in the beginning.

>I don't get this mentality at all.

It's called the Seinfeld Effect.

Younger people spent years playing the clones and copies first, so when they go back to the progenitor of these things it seems formulaic and generic.

Aside from being short there's nothing wrong with blue shift.

I didn't play hl2ep2 because I thought I would wait til ep3 and marathon them seeing as it only took ~a year between ep 1 and ep 2

Still haven't played ep2

Blue Shifts only crime was being released after the excellent Opposing Force.

>>322304047
You should, it's a good game and Episode 3 will never come out anyway.

i can beat HL1 one.
but i have problems with HL2..... it makes me nauseous.

i have never beaten HL2 and Episode 1 and 2 :(
