Right?
Looks like passing by concrete somewhere IRL and light from a car was on it for a little while, and then some godless pagan jumped out from behind a tree and proclaimed "that concrete looked perfect before the car passed by" and you're just like "wtf" and keep walking home sipping your coke.
Like who even made this stupid comparison, why even lol.
Not even just that newer thing, but the Black Mesa models looked like ass.
Their complexion looked like they eat poop. Like why do the texture look so weird and sickly? Every character looks like they've either never slept, or are a burn victim. And the animations look like thunderbirds, just trash.
People like to shit on Xen but at least people tend to make it that far, when's the last time you or anyone else even makes it as far as Anticitizen One in HL2? That's right nobody remembers it because you inevitably get burned out and bored around by the time you get to Nova Prospekt, admit it.
I just want valve to make more games
That fricking video comparing blood 4 dead to left 4 dead made me realize how much detail valve packs into every game they make
Gonna finish alyx this weekend and hop into the vr mods for the earlier games after
For me the worst part of Half-Life 2 is the enemy and weapon variety.
Half Life 1 and its two counterparts had such a wide variety of enemies and weapons, yet in Half-life 2 it's pretty much just the combine and a bunch of headcrab variants.
I feel like Half-Life 1 and expacs are ultimatively better than HL2 because of the whole 1999 US research facility in the desert vibe VS slav city orwell bs
aside from the whole narrative part you mean, i definitely think half life 1's setting lends them to more interesting map layouts.
HL2 definitely has some great iconic and fun to navigate sections but... a lot of it is pretty blah
The vibe in the second would've been way cooler if it was like US military condo with backyard aliens trying to jerry-rig teleporters in sheds. A splash of fallout but still hl1 pacing.
And Gordon marries or was already married to a nuclear scientist who was in the first one to help add the alien tech.
In the second she's that plot style like Alyx, but Barney comes in at a different time, more like barracaded somewhere and he buffs Gordon's weapons.
The hl2 open maps are nice.
And anything where the lighting looks super cool.
It's "barring" (as in barring the graphics) you fricking idiot. "Bar" isn't some fricking latin term like "eg." or "etc.". You must use words correctly, or nobody will understand what you're saying, or they'll dismiss you as an ESL. >t. Never olayed any of the half life games and couldn't care less. >nb4 "spelling hurr durrr"
I'm drunk, suck my fricking wiener you dumb c**t.
The story and overall game experience was definitely better in 1. 2 is great, but it's just more generic freedom fighters vs evil empire sort of stuff. 1 was about fighting for survival while trapped in a deep underground facility while everything is going to hell.
considering how the artstyle was light years better, it's also better at graphics
what hl2 is superior at is PHYSICS which don't make a game more fun to play
They’re both made by known scammers who commit false advertising and fraud, so who cares?
Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
You will prefer Half Life 2 and you will be happy!
You vill drink ze vater, und you vill forget.
What am I supposed to be looking at?
>look at these two barely different screenshots and compare the textures dude
PC gaming is so fricking boring
Right?

It's like comparing air, to air.
i think i like hl1s visuals far more than hl2
>Every aspect except graphics
Black Mesa exists now, so Half Life 2 is useless.
Black Mesa is not just worse then 1, is worse than 2, as well
yes
homosexual and woman detected
yes
no
It's one of the worst remakes ever made. They even managed to make Xen worse.
>Ids newer so it's better!!!
Day of the rope for midwits soon

They look like thomas the tank engine characters. Just nothing like the HL universe.
HL2 had the cute blasian wife and the grabbety gun
I’ll never forget that tram ride at the beginning. What happened to HL3?
>What happened to HL3?
HL2 was shit, and Valve basically just exists to ride the Steam money train now.
Was never announced or planned. They couldn't even start 3 because they never finished HL2.

>le contrarian
EP2> EP1> HL2 > HL1
Opposing Force is HL1 minus the tedious parts, making it the best entry in the series.
Half-Life 2 had objectively better AI, objectively stronger guns, and objectively better physics.
That's really not that high of a bar. Both games are boring as frick.
actually, half life 2 is way better th- -ACK!
It's a bug they introduced ~15 years ago.
There's supposed to be a turret killing you for being in line-of-sight.
do you want me to boot up the game and record some of the moronic physics puzzles they make you do?
No, I'd rather you spend your time doing something you enjoy.
Nah 2 also had better variety and art direction
For me the worst part of Half-Life 2 is the enemy and weapon variety.
Half Life 1 and its two counterparts had such a wide variety of enemies and weapons, yet in Half-life 2 it's pretty much just the combine and a bunch of headcrab variants.
Half-Life 2 has objectively more enemy types than Half-Life 1
>cop
>cop in black
>cop in white
>cop as a zombie
>cop sniping
>headcrab
>headcrab, but fast
>headcrab, but poison
90% of them are either combine variants or headcrab zombie variants.
this for sure.
also the smg feels like shit
the shotgun feels like shit
the ar2 feels like shit
the crossbow feels like shit
ok hows this then

What will Full-Life be?
consequences
will
too many "that part" moments where you have to run around an area to activate switches that you don't know what they do
It is*
>It was better than HL2 in every aspect
Yes
>bar graphics
No

Black Mesa made it obsolete
I think most of 2's gimmicks were more impressive/dynamic. the equivalent stuff in hl1 all had very rigid scripting.
HL2 is a lot better
