good post, i'm glad you made it

Based. This ovverated trash is up there with skyrim and witcher 1-3 on my top 5 least favorite games ive ever played.

It has good atmosphere. When it came out it had the best graphics of any game by at least 3 years.

What hype, OP? This game is over 15 years old.

So? If the game's not fun, why bother?

It was a pretty phenomenal FPS in 2004. It seems mediocre by today's standards. I still like it and play it every couple of years.

Gravity gun. That's about it

Halo was the only one of the three that ruined anything.

Playing it in 2004-2005 was amazing though.
The physics of the game blew my teenage mind.
The fact that you could pick up a random cardboard box and just throw it was one of the most amazing revolutionary things back then.

>it was great for it's time
Meanwhile RE4 came out in the same era and is still timeless.

>goalpost moved

What game were you hyped for in 2003?

Yes yes very original post

ok zoomer

Not OP, but STALKER: Oblivion Lost. Far Cry filled the void nicely.

*its

Even Deus Ex 2 could do that, let alone Trespasser 6 years earlier

Are you actually retarded? Or is this bait?

Like tons of old movies you have to understand the context of the game at the time of release and its influence.

The actual game today is not anything outstanding.

Yeah, vanilla 2 didn't do much for me. Episode 1 I outright disliked.
Episode 2 won me over but it might've been Stockholme Syndrome by that point.

Half Life niggers are actually delusional.

Should be CoD4, the first few cowadooties were just "More Medal of Honour".

go on

Halo and Call of Duty didn't ruin jack shit. They play fine and offer exciting gameplay. Yeah, there are weaknesses in their designs, but older FPS games had weaknesses too. You forgot to evolve with gaming, gramps.

>You forgot to evolve with gaming, gramps.
The timeframe between older FPS games and Halo/COD is much shorter than the timeframe between Halo/COD and today.

>STALKER: Oblivion Lost
Wat? You are just a tryhard contrarian underage. No one cared to compare Far Cry to HL2 because it was the literal definition of a tech demo and one-dimensional as fuck. HL2 offered so much more variety. It was the FPS of everything.

How did Half Life ruin the fps genre you fucking poser

but you cant even aim with a mouse

Underrated post
Retarded journos called tlou the citizen kane of gaming but that title should go to hl2
Mindblowing at the time of its release, nothing special today

RE was never good.

>tlou is the citizen kane of video games
how can one come to this conclusion?

These didn't ruin anything the games that did were everything that tried to copy it stop shitting on old games because they had variation

>But half-life did
Fuck off back twitch chats NPC

I don't like HALO but what did it ruin? It was the first FPS to have a lot of gameplay function
Half-Life didn't ruin anything either. Id had devolved into Carmack wanting everything they made to be about his rendering with nothing ambitious content wise ever getting greenlit. At least Valve gave you a science fair instead of a tech demo
COD didn't ruin anything until 4.
