12 fucking years and this is still the best and most complete single player FPS to date. Why?
But it's a shit game

I prefer halo 5 desu senpai
>>336347439
because it failed in only one aspect: teaching other game companies into following its example
>>336347439
>most complete
Is this some sort of sick joke? Half Life 2 is a great game but you're a fucking retard if you believe this.
>>336347439
It's worse than the first game and it's funny how you claim it's complete when people to this day are still waiting for EP3.
>>336347439
>most complete
>shitloads of cut content
>ends on a cliffhanger
>has three episodes following it up
>even they aren't complete
>no open world
>no loot
>no crafting
full garbage
>>336347439
It's not even the best FPS of the year it came out.
>>336347439
its my goat but saying it was complete when it needed 2 extra episodic games is bullshit
hell even then its not complete
>>336347439
Even HL1 is better.
>>336347750
is this game good? ive never heard of it outside of 4chan so im not very confident
what do you think
>>336347750
>It's not even the best FPS of the year it came out.
Story of the HL series entire life.
>>336347832

>>336347750
>It's not even the best FPS of the year it came out.

I don't like HL2 but the fake Doom 3 was shit.
No1 game for people with "deep" taste in games who are willing to ignore its flaws , the missing plot and everything else that will make you play it once not even remotely suggesting you'll bother to finish it and then uninstall it forever.
It's also the badge of faggotism of valve-knights

>TFW Unreal offered full 2 channel headphone surround sound with the right audio setup
>Modern game engines still barely offer this
>>336347439
>graphics are just stylised enough to have aged well, while still maintaining realism
>NPC animations and facial expressions avoid the uncanny valley and are actually convincing, particularly alyx
>regularly introduces creative gameplay ideas to keep things fresh, without completely turning the tables on the player
>has atmosphere out the ass, 10/10 sound design and ambience that has yet to be matched
>manages a decent balance between story and gameplay
>breen was right all along

What? Half-Life 2 is what CREATED the fad of cinematic FPS games that is STILL happening today
>>336348735
not him, but that's why it 'failed'. it caused a bunch of developers to completely misinterpret HL2's successes and now here we are in the age of hyper linear scripted games
