    In summary, OP;
    Many like it. Few dislike it. No one cares about HL1/HL2 Deathmatch.
    A few additional opinions you may encounter:
    >sex with alyx
    >1 is better than 2
    >black mesa is inferior to 1
    >fully modeled
    >reddit writing

      >black mesa is inferior to 1
      Fact
      The only thing black mesa has is BANG BANG WAHOO
      Level design is worse than in the first game
      Sure, it looks nice, but zoomers and retards alike don't even know what a good level design is nowadays. BANG BANG WAHOO and gunplay is better and that's the only thing they care about

          Yeah, remember that part in the beginning where you have to set 500 zombies on fire with flares, haha? Oh wait, that's just stupid shit from Black Mesa! The list goes on, you are fucking delusional, idiot
          >you haven't played black Mesa
          I did, before it had the xen levels

          >these are real facts
          Not really. I mean, you made them up. Here's a real one. When I fucked your mother before she gave birth to you in 2005, she said that moron dicks taste bad. This is a real fact.

      Zoomer, chill. You literally never played games in the 90s, so your opinion on HL1 doesn't matter.
      That's like complaining that moron characters in the movie Commando is wokeness.
      The thing is, it wasn't about wokeness back then, they just put morons in games just because, not to replace White people like today.

      I don't like morons, but your point is wrong

    If we discount the shooter part then Portal 1 perfected the whole unbroken first person narrative and made the series obsolete in that regard which is why they doubled down on technological part after EP2 and currently struggling with that.

      Just sit for those, they're fine, only issue I had at release was the deadzone for steering the buggy but they fixed that after I did my playthrough
      Still need to do ep1 and 2 though

      Almost like it isn't a sequel.

      Though I agree it didn't quite develop the overall narrative, it did showcase a more down-to-earth pov that made things like combine influence, vortigaunt mysticism and stride threat feel more real.

      It did also show a more meaningful relationship between the gman and the combine and how powerful both of them are relative to human tech

      the only reason Alyx exists is because Valve believed the HL3 memes and thought this was going to sell their shitty VR hardware

      they were gonna make episode 3 but when laidlaw leaked his rough draft they scrapped everything they had and started development on alyx, HL3 is gonna continue off the new timeline and suck

    I was so absorbed in World of Warcraft I slept on HL2's release. Didn't even watch a trailer.

    One day I was sick of WoW in 2006, went to Best Buy and saw "Game of the Year" on a box. Oh a sequel to Half Life? And it comes with Counter Strike: Source? I bet this is cool.

    Spent the next 12 hours getting my mind fucking blown. It was like being the main character in a post apocalypse sci-fi movie. The ambience, the story, the combat, the pacing. It still hasn't been topped. All source games evolved from that engine too. TF2, the Portal games, LFD, CS. The whole thing was just legendary.

    also wondered why few talked about Ep 1 and then i realized it's because of orange box.

    they're all great games. platforming and movement in the engine that half-life 1 uses is amazing so it's always fun to replay. HL2 is great as well but i think a lot of people now don't get some of it because they're not playing HL1 first or aren't paying attention to the plot.

    everyone here shits on Alyx but i actually liked it, i was impressed with what Valve did with VR but there were still parts i didn't like. a lot of the puzzles were just boring and bad, not really like the other games. the shooting, graphics, and immersion was 10/10 though. pretty much everything interactable.

    Half Life 1 is a classic and i don't think anyone would dispute that. HL2 has some very strong sections but also a lot of time-wasting bullshit

    Ep1 was pretty mid but I have a special hatred for Ep2. It's the one people pretend is good but it fucking sucks cock and is almost entirely focussed on lame scripted sequences with just a few actual good levels

    HL2 VR is fun though just by virtue of VR

      It's actually freaky how well HL2 holds up in VR, like it feels natural and native and not forced like some other VR ports/conversions like Doom 3 (mod version)

    If you want to experience Half Life play in this order:

    2. Half Life 2

    HL1 is one of my go-to comfy games. BM is good for what it is but something about the atmosphere and sound design in the original makes it very cosy to me.
