        What, what? It's true. HL1 is the first story game where you are forced to sit through "cutscenes" inb4 but you can still walk around those are still cutscenes.

        Meanwhile Half Life might have some mods? Because its a troony "experimentation" engine that has lead to 1 good game and inspired almost nothing of lasting value.

            Sorry friend. None of the mods for Half Life besides ones that became the few known games people play amount to jack shit anymore. Oh man a janky engine with funny but unpolished gameplay? Shit i wanna experiment with that! Meanwhile we see total conversion Doom games and 3D realms engine games to this day. Because people with taste would rather play a well structured game that is about the gameplay first and not about some janky "soul" second.

      Not really. FPS genre is still luke warm and despite some good boomer shooters here and there its still largely shit. But now devs want to sell people redditsoft games and other genres so shooters are a tiny bit better and less common then before. If anything most games that tried to copy Eternal failed and were worse for it. Shadow Warrior 3 is pretty crap and tried to copy off it alot. Where as if it went back to being like 1 it would've been a better game.

        I never understood this. My family was poor and when I went to our classmate's home who had GC, we played Melee and had lots of fun. Then he came to our place and we played Dark Alliance 2 and had fun.
        I honestly think that identity culture is stuff you get raised with by your parents and general culture. At least here people don't identify through [BRAND]s.

    Clearly the article was written after much glue sniffing and pasting eating.

    Game came out on DOS compared to the barely in color jerky pixel by pixel rendering of most DOS games it was leagues beyond what else was around at the time.

    Haven't played Deus Ex but i am currently playing Half Life 1 for the first time, it's "ok" certainly better than cod and halo and whatever else shit copied it but Doom and it's clone are superior, i can see why people hate it because of how it ruined the genre forever not necessarily because of the game itself.

            i was told all of this by Half life fans believe it or not, they told me exactly this "play Half life 1 it's really good but there is no denying it's influence is disastrous, don't ever touch Half life 2 or Half life Source".

    it certainly made PC gaming more juvenile by snuffing the cRPG, strategy, and simulation crowd in favor of the action game crowd coming in and dominating.

    Say what you want about the rest of the games, we can all agree Doom Eternal was garbage.
