>>345489291
Congrats on being objectively correct.
Although I might say
HL > OF > HL2 = HL2:E2 > BS >HL2:E1
because I think HL2:E2 was pretty damn good.
>the gearbox games are higher than the other games
>>345490365
Opposing Force is damn good. And Blue Shift isn't terrible, but not great either. But it's still better than the garbage that was Ep1
>>345490342
yeah ill accept that
OF > HF1 > BS > HL2:EP2 > HL2 > HL2:EP1
Half-Life 2 is one of the most overated franchises.
It was nothing more than an overglorifed Havok and DX9 tech demo.
>>345489291
>>345490797
why is episode 1 bad?
HL1 > Decay > Episode 2 > Op4 > HL2 > EP1 > BS
This is now a Half-Life Wallpaper Thread
>>345491027
Hl1 was glorified tech demo of a quake modifcation
You can use that argument for every game that uses a new engine.
>>345489291
I agree. ep1 is the worst hl game ever.
>>345491224
>>345491038
>>345490342
Having played every HL game at least twice and HL1 upwards of 6 times, I must say that BS and Ep1 are unfairly underrated due to their length.
>>345490797
Opposing Force was good but so unpolished, the teammates would always fuck everything up like getting in front of your line of fire and then mistaking you for the enemy.
>>345491890
That's why I never said it was the best, It's good but not perfect
HL1 is my favorite.
>>345491890
I think maybe you just have an itchy trigger finger anon.
Has anyone ITT played Black Mesa?
>all these scrawny numale scientists in this thread RIGHT NOW that say half-life is better than oposing force
This is why you nerds don't get to leave this government facility alive
>>345491890
This is true. OF was good because they stopped giving af and let you cuntpunch a barnacle to use as a grappling hook.
FULLY
MODLED
Post mods. There's gotta be something I haven't played yet.
>>345489291
What about Decay?
Is Opposing Force and Blue Shift even canon?
>>345493209
Doesn't really matter. Barney ends up alive in HL2 either way. Everything people like to claim makes Op4 not canon happens after Gordon jumps to xen, and it all gets nuked in the end anyway.
Gordon was there, Adrian was there, Barney was there, some shit went down and a nuke was involved. That about sums it up.
>>345493209
Partially.
>>345489291
>HL2 > HL2:E2
Off yourself.
>>345491827
BS doesn't really have a proper climax.
EP1 does.
I don't know why anyone would rate BS above episode 1.
>>345491038
The entire game takes place in dark sewers and the train station segment is fucking torture
Didn't Gearbox make Opposing Force and Blue Shift?
>>345492834
what mod?
THE SITUATION IS LOOKING PRETTY GRIM
MMMMM
CANDY
>>345492083
it's a pretty good remake
GOVERNMENT COVER UPS WERE NOT IN MY JOB DESCRIPTION
HL > HL2 > Opfor > episode 2 > episode 1 > blue shift
>>345489291
Why is Opposing Force so high on the list? That thing is a mess, one moment you're easing in the story, then suddenly you're seeing Gordon Freeman jump into the portal to Xen, and then You're in Xen, and then you're back on the lab, and THEN you get attacked by the Black Ops dudes, it's a goddamn mess with no continuity, AI is fucking retarded and some of the guns are useless, and you barely get any ammo for your weapons.
>>345492083
Excellent remake, even though it gets too cluttered and convoluted in places, Lambda complex usually comes to mind, originally you just had to go on these rooms and turn the generator on, but for some reason they filled the place with railings, equipment and shit that makes you think you're going somewhere when you're really not, you get lost.
>>345498782
because itsfun
I genuinely think Blue Shift is good

Man, what happened to the guards in Opposing Force? They're all fat and dumb
Oh man, you cut the ponytail...Sellout.
>>345489291
100% agree.
People give HL2 wayyyyyy too much credit when HL1 was really the better game in almost every regard.
HL2 was a real let down after the initial hype wore off.
OF > HL > HL2:E2 > HL2 > BS >HL2:E1
This is not debatable

>>345499737
>All the cool shit got cut
How in the fuck did you manage make an empire spanning multiple different dimensions boring valve?
>>345499243
and that's aok opinion. I personally disagree as I thought Opposing Force was much more enjoyable and had much more replay value than Blue Shift, but it was still worth a play none the less
>>345499857
>>345500060
>All the cool shit got cut
I didn't know that an entire chapter devoted to looking around a city where kids build robots and citizens kill people thinking it's a video game, Gordon Freeman looking around a boat with nothing in it, Gordon Freeman climbing an entire goddamn building just to shut it off and jump out, more driving and walking around as well as a whole fucking lot more story and characters would be ''cool''
>I still honestly wish they would retroactively add achievements to the original GoldSrc titles to give me another reason to replay them
I know it's dumb and I'm a fag for wanting this, but goddammit I still want it
Someone post beta barney, he creeps me out immensively
>>345500105
OF is better, but everyone rips on BS like it's shit, but I think it's fun and a cool addition to the story.
>>345500332
2/10, try harder next time.
>>345489291
>Episode 2
>worse than anything
What a faggot.
I agree
I don't even know why people think so highly of that glorified tech demo that is hl2.
>>345492571
that was the best moment of my life
>>345500472
I'm not fucking joking, that's literally all there was to the cut chapters of HL2, everything else was either adapted into Episodes 1 and 2 or saved for episode 3 which is never going to happen, more enemies and weapons would've just made the thing a mess.
It ain't no Zelda 64 beta that's for sure.
>>345500623
>implying the original Half Life wasn't a tech demo
Boy I sure love to wait for those scientists to tell me to go to places and open doors only they can open, I can kill them too but it's likely I'll get stuck.
>>345500501
This, why is it so fucking good
>That part with the Ant Lions
>That part where you're held up in the house
>Dog absolutely decimating a Strider
>Every part of the final battle
I'd say it's up there with HL and OF, it's only flaws are that it's incredibly short and people with ADHD might not like the "cutscenes".
Why are you fags underrating Blue Shift so hard? it's the closet game to the original Half-Life, and it has way better level design than Opposing Forces.
>>345501037
Ma niger
>>345501037
I thought Blue Shift had amazing maps. The beginning complex was really cool.
I feel like people ride the HL2 hate cock way too fucking much to the point of not remembering how broken and about as lengthy HL1 was, coupled with the fact that most people lately have an irrationally upsetting behaviour towards anything that resembles a story or a gimmick in a video game regardless of how it's implemented, in the case of HL2 it was masterfully integrated, problem is that most games that tried to copy it literally do what people think what happens in HL2 when it doesn't, which is spout boring exposition while escorting you to the next door where you -hope- the game can finally begin, because the writers behind those games wished they were writing Hollywood schlock.
