I just finished this, I liked it and it was okay but I don’t get why people think it was revolutionary...

>but I don’t get why people think it was revolutionary

That's because you're a certified, mouth-breathing imbecile, there's really no other way of putting it. If you're too retarded to understand why people thought that way, especially considering the time it came then there's really no hope of trying to explain it to you. Stay ignorant.

Fuck off

is this vanilla? or some kind of dx10/11 renderer?

I swear we have this thread at least once a week - fuck off already.

lol deal with it thieflet

Literally says Voodoo in the file name dude

>he doesn't like Thief
Brainlet

It's a pic grabbed from Google, but I'm pretty sure that the original looks like that, Unreal had gorgeous skyboxes.

based but tripfaggot

Why are you a tripfag?

autism is always the answer

It’s fun and helps to keep retards at an arms length

Am I the only one who never liked the original HL or HL2 all that much? Like I played them but I wouldn't call them iconic to my childhood. Gmod was way more played once it came around.

I loved Black Mesa though so I don't know what I like anymore.

He's been using this trio for like a decade now guys. He is like a unicorn. A special magical being, an anomaly or something

but you're retarded

I’m sorry I only listen to people who have trips

>Thief
The ultimate fedoralord game. At least Manhunt understands stealth isn't interesting at all as a genre and gives you executions and shit while you wait in shadows like a fedora.

What does that mean? How does a trip keep retards at arms length?

because nobody likes tripfags

filtered :)

They either filter me and don’t bother me or they automatically show me how worthless they are by talking about my trip rather than the thread topic

>how worthless they are by talking about my trip rather than the thread topic
Careful with that edge m8

Mods have always been the main appeal for me.

dumb phoneposter

Oh, okay. I see. So you use a trip code to be smug and passive aggressive. Fair enough.

They all do that to feel special on an anonymous image board

So you use it pretend you're better than everyone else, cool.

I don't know how he hasn't been banned yet, he contributes nothing to threads

He needs to go back to Yas Forums

There's some autist vehemently defending auto-aim in shooters with Powerslave being his favorite example.
Naturally this will attract some other autists that see him behind every post even slightly related.

auto aim is retarded, but powerslave is pretty damn good

THIS

I always thought it was strange how medieval european Nali aesthetics were

I'd wager it has to do with the medieval themes they had in the early builds of the game and engine:

DESU Epic was mostly just throwing everything that sounded cool enough into the game, it was Digital Extremes that helped them get an actual focus. They kept this medieval/gothic aesthetic a bit in UT as well.

A shame it never got fleshed out a bit more, U2 didn't even have Nali iirc

U2 was practically a non-Unreal game developed by outsiders. UT 2k3 and 2k4 had a new Egyptian theme instead which was somewhat interesting I guess. Then came UT3 and the game just looked like a grey brown gritty mess like Gears of War.

I did it because people asked me to so they could discern my real posts from a larger. Then I kept getting banned for shilling even though I was just posting art in a drawthread. Based mods.

The other HL thread died so I'm gonna crosspost a second.
I just got it. It's just okay for someone like me, but I can see how someone who didn't spend a lot of time with Half-Life 2 would find it an invigorating experience, especially coupled with MMod. I dunno man. I've been playing SMOD for over a decade, and SMOD is trapped on Source 2006. Besides the toggleable bloom and HDR, SMOD is a time capsule of what HL2 looked like two years after its release, and it doesn't look that much worse than HL2: Update + MMod. The only thing MMod has going for it for someone like me is those sweet weapon animations and sounds. But otherwise it's still the same HL2 campaign. Doesn't tickle my fancy.

It's just a mediocre game that gets special treatment because it was made by an Anglo company.
Happens all the time.

SMOD screenshot of the same location. Only real difference is FOV and bloom settings.

Maybe because of the mods that came out of it? I don't think it's particularly good.

The modding community absolutely contributes to the goodwill people feel about HL1, but not a single HL1 mod has ever supplanted the vanilla campaign.

HL1 and HL2 are good
They're not my favorites but they both deserve their place in the vidya hall of fame and are way more influential than my favorite FPS
You zoomies really have no idea what shootans were like each time Half-Life showed up and slapped its stale shit

Shooters weren't stale in either 1998 or 2004.

They were in comparison to Chad Life

ok zoomer. now off you go chasing other games that have nothing to do with you but you play them anyway just to feel included in le epic group of le epic gamers

The term Doomclone ring any bells? HL1 stands alone as that 90s shooter that was a roller coaster grounded in a realistic setting that grabbed everyone's imaginations. Unreal did a similar thing, but it was more of a quoteunquote traditional adventure game.

Just because you like stale doesn't mean it's not stale
For the record I think stale is great

Unreal, SiN and Tribes all came out in 1998 and were more fun than HL. Unreal in particular did just about everything better than HL including environmental storytelling.
