Are the Half Life games the most fraudulent "Game changers" in history?
>Game cheaps out and has no cutscenes. >This is considered a revolutionary function of video games
You literally never break the immersion due to no cutscenes and every event seen from the eyes of the protagonist
No one ever thought of it before
Alao it's the same autist from /vr/ isn't eh?
Actually, this game was specifically praised for having little/no cutscenes in the era when cutscenes and movie games were becoming more popular (Sega CD, 3DO, CD-I Atari Jaguari, PlayStation, DOS/Windows, etc). That is to say, it was a more straight-forward and traditional game at the time of release.
It doesn’t matter because it’s so linear and doesn’t allow for much in the way of player agency. Compare it to thief for example

Who?
Is that the cope they came up with? It was absolutely a cost cutting measure
Half Life wasn’t even that innovative, GoldenEye had setpieces that you could move around as well. half life is a fraud
GoldenEye still has cutscenes.
It has both, it has traditional cutscenes and also interactive setpieces, which imo is better
Having cutscenes automatically makes it a downgrade. Taking control away from the player is never a good thing.

Keep up the good fight OP, half life is overrated
hi alf
bye alf
Goldeneye was never good, get over it.
It was good, goldeneye was the american multiplayer fps of choice, nobody gave two fricks about half life here for multiplayer
and now it's considered aged and inferior to pc fps.
you lost.

There was an enchantment with the idea of an unbroken journey from start to finish without any breaks in the narrative. Dungeon siege and half life 2 was the end of this desire for an unbroken narrative.
Not even sure what the word setpiece means when in the context of FPS games. Does it mean stuff in a level?
