Only other acceptable answer is STALKER.
Crysis 1 becomes fucking terrible.
Deus Ex plays like a bunch of turds stapled together.
Darkness 2 is surprisingly great, unlike the first Darkness which is shit.
>darkness 2 great
>darkness shit
>>323977579
hl1 is better
Would you make me a sandwich?
Yeah Boat Riding Simulator 2 is pretty fun.
>>323977579
That's not Doom
>>323977579
First playthrough is great. Replayability is fucking shit. Either the water part or the antlion and sand part always makes me quit.
There are much better games that are fun the second way through too.
>>323977579
why is post apocolyptic eastern europe such a compelling setting? why do we americans crave exploring the devastate remains of slav land so much?
>>323977804
The enemy types suck dragging nigger nuts in Half Life 1. First third of the game you're fighting electro dogs with gaping vaginas and beef jerky aliens that shoot lightning bolts.
Humans are fun to fight, as they aren't just blasting you.
>>323978101
USA has no sweet ass ruined cities since the whole country is 200 years old and you haven't had a war on your homeland that destroyed entire towns ever since your north and south thing.
>>323978087
you're part of the new generation that made gabe quit making single player games. demanding that single player campaigns be infinitely replayable or some shit and then being ridiculously hard to please. I've played each of the games and episodes at least 3 times, loved them each time, and felt like I got my moneys worth. Gabe was right, there's no way they can release something to please modern gamers.
>>323978087
The first two hours of HL2 are putrid shit, can't deny that. Only having a pistol and SMG sucks, having to get in and out of your shitboat sucks.
Ravenholm is when the game actually proves itself as a shooter. The antlion part is fun if you give no fucks and rush through it as quickly as possible.
>>323978332
I started with the Atari 2600 and played through every doom and quake, mate.
Yes, I like to replay my favorite games. Physics puzzles and platforming parts are NOT fun to replay.
>>323978462
This is one of the best parts in the game though. You have to fuck up terribly for the platforming to not be fun.
>>323978191
hl1 has
headcrabs
zombies
houndeyes
bullsquids
various types of soldiers
ninjas
barnacles
vortigaunts
sharks
Agrunts
Controllers
helicopters
gargantuas
and tanks I suppose
and half life 2 just has ~2 different variations of zombies and combine soldiers with worse AI than the HECU marines, oh and antlions which were shit and gimmicky. It has considerably less enemies.
HL2 is shit, overrated and is just a fancy tech demo
that's it.
>>323978730
I always thought that that part was easy. Scary as hell, but easy.
>>323978191
how's it feel to be literally retarded
>>323978434
Episode 2 had some great moments. That battle at the end was pretty great.
>>323978332
valve showed they could make a lasting singleplayer game with half life 1 but chose to fuck it all up for hl2. but of course gabe would blame literally everyone but his own fat ass
How's that remake Black Mesa? Worth playing instead of replaying HL1?
>>323977579
Perfect Dark is better.
>>323978798
Doesn't matter how many enemy types a game has if the shooting and level design is shit.
Half Life 1 level design and pacing is okay, the combat hasn't aged well at all.
Blasting a Combine nigger in the head with a magnum or using the double shot with the shotgun never feels dull. Half Life 1 enemies are bullet sponges that flop over after getting pelted.
>>323978850
Good sound direction during it.
Move aside, children. Mummy's home.
>>323979209
Yeah man everybody hates HL2. Players, critics. What a massive flop HL2 was. Hard to believe Valve ever recovered from that absolute disaster.
Is it hard living in your own hipster micro-universe?
>>323979289
they're STILL not done and randomly break shit including saves every few updates. just play the original
>>323979396
HD needs a PC release.
Area 51 was better in every single way. Prove me wrong.

HL2's intro is too slow and wordy, worse than Half Life 1. Now it was fine when they did this with Half Life 1 since it'd never been done before. But with 2 they were just doing what was essentially the same thing. Bla bla bla mr freeman, hi I'm alyx, he howdy gordon about that beer I owe you, OH FIDDLESTICKS
With 1 you could at least persuade the AI with some precision bumping to speed things up a bit, but with 2 you can't do this as easily and it just gets annoying with replays - Valve probably even understood this at the time as they had introduced a chapter select thing so that you can skip the bullshit for replays.
Everything after Red Letter Day up until the Airboat section was quite decent and had great pacing, but the airboat section was boring for the most part, and after that you get more talking and you have to play fetch with an AI robot within a videogame. Yawn.

Believe and it will happen. Heck, if Sea of Thieves is coming to PC, anything is possible.
>>323979545
Area 51 is no XIII.
>>323977579
Not saying its better than HL2 or STALKER but for me Bioshock 2 is definitely up there with these two.
>>323979490
yeah give it up to valve for wowing critics with VIDEO GAME PHYSICS gimmick shit back in 2004 instead of making an actual game of substance. how does it feel to have fallen for the original meme game
>>323979289
It's shit. It doesn't capture the essence of HL1 and just HL2's everything up and makes it shit and like a fucking soap opera. They ruined the movement system with ~realism~, the soldiers are godawful, and they butchered On a Rail and Surface Tension which were two of my most favourite parts of HL1.
Oh and despite being 2016, the MP5 animation does not include a signature slap when reloading. That's just awful.
>>323979384
the combat in HL1 is almost exactly like HL2, the only difference is that HL2 has the gravity gun gimmick which was shit. You also don't have the cool alien weapons like the Hive-hand or snarks in HL2 and instead you just have another assault rifle which makes the SMG1 pointless until you run out of ammo with your other guns.
Then you have betafags who say that game should have more redundant weapons like an AK47 or an MP5K and other silly pointless shit like that.
Enemies were only really bullet sponges on Hard mode. (It also helps to use the correct weapon on enemies to take them down effectively)
>>323979384
>Doesn't matter how many enemy types a game has if the shooting and level design is shit.
You're right, and HL2's shooting and level design are shit on top of having FEWER types of enemies than HL1. Also, HL2's gun sounds were complete shit with no oomph to them.
>>323979289
They added a flinching system where your view kicks up in random directions and throws off your aim every time you get shot/hurt, just like in the hit modern franchise Call of Duty
>>323980081
You have to be Schiavoed out of your mind to say that about HL2's magnum, shotgun, crossbow, and the combine autorifle alt orb.
Also, without going super autist, HL2 feels like a long journey, you remember a bunch of shit, even if you played that shit once. HL1 is a huge blur with a few standout moments.
>>323978798
Half-life 2:
4 Types of zombies
3 types of headcrabs
Striders
Gunships
Hunters
Dropships
2 Scanners
Stalkers
Snipers
Civil Protection(Cops)
Overwatch Soldiers
Overwatch Elite Soldiers
Shotgun Soldiers
Nova Prospekt Soldiers
Barnacles
Antlion Soldiers
Antlion Workers
Antlion Guard
Antlion Guardian
Ichthyosaur
Sentry Turrets
Ceiling Turrets
Ground Turrets
And some more
>>323980581
There is not a single memorable combat area in HL2, but it makes sense that it feels like a long ass journey given how much of it you're forced to sit through while meaningless side characters talk on for hours.

You just wrote out every single subtype. Not that in the HL1 list "soldiers" is a single item.
>>323980581

I've played HL2 once. It's a huge blur with no standout moments.
>>323980784
>Overwatch Soldiers
>Overwatch Elite Soldiers

basically the same guys with different weapons
btw we're talking about half life 2 specifically here, not the episodes.
so you've got, 3 types of zombies, 3 types of headcrabs. (6)
then you've got striders and gunships where are essentially the same thing, dropships aren't proper enemies (2)
barnacles
civil protection
antlions
antlion guards
turrets aren't proper enemies
that's 12.
sure the episodes add more stuff, but just half life 2 itself compared to half life 1, it's a lot worse and has less variance.
>>323980936
isn't this stalker: on rails: here's some graphics instead
>>323980871
The entirety of Nova Prospekt is all about shooting nig nogs from room to room with almost no interruption. Ravenholm is another full on rager combat area.
These are some very niggardly claims.

if only they made an entire game like this. oh wait. that's half life 1

Doom
FEAR

HL2? Its gunplay is boring.
>>323981450
>haha guys I was just pretending to be retarded
>>323981334
There's a reason no one talks about Stalker.
Played and finished all the HL games a couple days ago (even Blue shift and the deathmatches) and honestly? they're all pretty fucking terrible. Shit story, old games aged poorly, map design in HL2 was way to linear, "is HL2 a game or an engine demo?", also HL got way to repetitive most of the time. Literally, the only good things to think about are: Ravenholm, zombies (WoW z0mbes, sO eDgey :o ) and the weapons are kinda nice. on a side note: does anyone legitimately WANT Half Life 3?
>"But muh heaps of enemies"
fuck off, theyre all so generic and feel deep throated into the games. Zombies, aliens, robots and soldiers are a shitty mashup.
>>323980936
it's bland and not in a good way
>>323981609
where's the metro general?
>>323979545
Locked narrow FOV, mouse aim suffers from the console port; that weird 5px incremental movement and it gets kinda samey.
Fix those it'd be a possible contendah.
>>323981659
HL1 you can appreciate as a product of the 90s where that stuff was acceptable.
People who want a Half Life 3 are insane.
>>323977579
That's not Doom, Douk, Hexen, Unreal, or Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Hell, that's not even HL1.
>>323981551
FEAR is actually a legit counter to the original claim. Excellent AI, the shotgun is great, slo mo is actually important for gameplay, pacing is great.
I'll concede if niggers admit FEAR is better than Half 1 and Half Life 2. Otherwise HL2 is still filling HL1's ass with cum.
>>323979545
David Duchovny sounded so bored in this game. His performance was good otherwise, but he sounded he was listing the ingredients on a cereal box.
>>323981934
FEAR is a better Half Life game than Half Life 2.
>>323982007
this desu
>>323981773
Oh hell yea, HL in the 90's was perfectly acceptable, im just talking about its bad age. Although, despite Source being a remaster, i personally didnt like it.
>>323982065
Half Life Source is shit
unless you mean Black Mesa
which is even worse
I would have loved the Darkness 2 if it wasn't for all the forced story segments that you can't skip.
Completely ruins the game for me. I'm running through a level, being an absolute powerhouse on newgame plus 4 or whatever, and suddenly, STOP! WHITE HOSPITAL! WALK AROUND FOR 10 MINUTES, every half an hour. Absolute bullshit.
What about left 4 dead(2)? Shit or Good?
>>323982157
no dude, im saying that, despite Source being a remaster of HL, i still dont like Source. Black Mesa was just a cash grab from devs wanting to cash in on HL
>>323981806
rtcw gets real unfun real fast right about when the electric nazis come in
>>323982412
Source the engine?
>>323982164
Very true. But if you play the co-op mode thing alone, you can run through levels with no interruptions.
Don't know how a max leveled co op character is compared to a max leveled Jackie though.
>>323982521
HL Source
>>323982668
right gotcha
>>323982521
Half life: Source, its a remaster of Half life 1 thats pretty bad

it's niche as fuck but you're talking out of your ass on that one desu
SWAT 4 and Insurgency are the best FPS games to this day.
Escape from Tarkov LOOKS good but can't be sure of the gameplay yet.
Why do people like the original Half-Life so much? I've been playing it recently and the weapons suck ass, the enemies are the literal definition of bullet sponges, and their AI is terrible.
>>323984091
>Escape from Tarkov LOOKS good but can't be sure of the gameplay yet.
>multiplayer survival shooter
>>323984257
Weapons are better and more creative than 2's. You're right about bullet sponges though, HL1 is awful because of that. AI is no worse than 2.
All in all the HL series is overrated as fuck.
>>323984091
>SWAT 4
Oh God I remember playing the fuck out of this a long ass time ago.
I'd play against some bros and just stun the fuck out of them until they rage quit.
One bro was a nigger and decided to just hide in the most remote places possible and start sniping everyone with an AK. Good days.
