Feels slightly redundant because they're all so fucking great. The same cannot be said of that other series data mentioned.
HL2's weapons sat between crap and unsatisfying. Either they felt bad to use or the good ones never had enough ammo for you to really enjoy using them
By Lego Go To PostHalf Life kinda boringits one of those games of its time where you had to be there.
its quite mid by today's standards.
I generally think the overall craft, design and pacing is still top tier even if in isolation the shooting mechanics are dated.

still feel like its world building alone, makes it worth playing today.

I dunno how much of OG Half Life is in Black Mesa, but BM is one of the very best FPS games I’ve played.
Gameplay, encounters, level design, all superb.

I feel like it's still a better FPS than most that have come out since. It's got dated art and audio, but it feels incredible to play by virtue of it's engine in regards to mlook and movement. Plus its sense of place is something that a lot of modern games don't match despite their superior technologies.
Think HL2 came out during the turrets craze. The vehicle sections makes it inferior by default.
Also 1 is almost perfect.

By Willkiller Go To PostHL2 is better than the majority of modern FPS games, still100%
Black Mesa is just a setting that City 17 can't compete with imo
HL2 has a fair few good locations, but even put together they don't come close to measuring up imo

I played HL2 when the Orange Box came out (on PS3 lmao), and found it to be a decent game but quite overrated. Maybe if I had played it at the time, I’d have enjoyed it more. Portal was the best game in that collection anyway :p
HL Alyx from what I've played is incredible tho

2024: ...
I saw a new video of the Suicide Squad game and that's EXACTLY THE FUCKING THING they should be doing with an M-rated video game with the DC characters they've chosen to put in the game. Why make that game if you aren't going to do things completely differently and take risks. "Wipe them out, all of them." The gameplay probably sucks, at least based on the preview videos and they can't even run the servers today for early access, but my God, do something else with the characters and in one video, fuck yeah they did.
And on a #movies note, I saw Gunn say on Threads that his Superman isn't an origin film. GOOD. It's 2024 right now, and will be 2025 when that movie comes out. Everyone on earth knows the trite Superman origin. We do not need to see that again. He's already at a better starting point than the hack with a Netflix profile avatar. If he delivers "The Batman" version of a Superman movie, I'll be the first to congratulate him.

By reilo Go To Poststeam on windows would be more comparable.
By data Go To PostAyoooo Philwow
By DiPro Go To Poststeam on windows would be more comparable.
Is it? Because they ripped of somebody else called it Windows and made it open right?
They then tried to use their monopoly to force certain choices on its customers.
iPhone was launched in 2007, 6 or so years after MS entered the console market with a product that wasnt like windows at all, Xbox is a closed platform. If Xbox had ran over PlayStation and Nintendo, and were dominating the console market would they open up the platform? Not likely.
They were clearly blindsided by Steam too. Point being iOS wasn’t sold as an open platform, and it’s a bit ridiculous to force Apple to change their product just to appease MS… only because their windows phone bombed.
i just don't think a plattform that is used as THE main computer for many people should be controlled by one company. just like i don't think MS should be able to close down windows to just apps they approve and they don't make the hardware too. i'm glad it's getting opened for the EU and we will have a better product because of it.
a gaming console is hardly the same (nevermind one with such a small install base as the xbox) but i also wouldn't oppose if they had to be open consoles but i can see a much stronger argument there why they aren't.

Have yet to see an actual convincing argument for it, because as of now the whole thing is about third parties wanting a free ride.
By DiPro Go To Posti'm glad it's getting opened for the EU and we will have a better product because of it.It really isn't gonna be a better product lmao
It's gonna lead to more malware, shittier software, and more stringent "we won't fix this shit because you did y with it" stuff that's gonna piss those very very very few customers that actually want to do this off.
There's two benefiting parties:
1) the tinkerers
2) the megacorps like Spotify and Epic that don't have a great business model
You think Spotify is gonna lower the cost of their subscription model if they are able to use their own IAP from a third-party store and pass those savings onto the consumer? nope.
When the EU makes these decisions, they don't actually take consumers into account. But don't take my word for it, please click here to accept my cookies.
hey he will still get the corpo edition while we get the nice one that's slightly less controlled by timmy apple so we're both happy.
Want to play persona but won’t finish it before rebirth and then after rebirth I want to try vanillaware’a not ogre battle. Too much stuff and no time.
