Grapplejack posted:Just release the loving game, you don't have to string your fanbase along for years and years while jerking yourselves off with microtransactions. When would the perfect time to have released this episode been? 2010? 2013? I feel like any time after that year (and possibly even earlier) the dream people had about "Episode 3" transmuted into some sort of hypothetical all-encompassing "Half-Life 3" single-player extravaganza that just isn't something modern day Valve wants to do.

The energy sword and multiplayer saves Halo for me

i think both half-life 2 and halo are cool but halo aged better because it's just a better paced game with better shooting all half-life 2 really has now is its unusual tone and world design

Halo has to be compared to Goldeneye, and it's a pretty great console shooter. Half Life 2 came out nearly a decade after Doom 1 and everybody involved should be embarrassed.

They're both profoundly mediocre games (Halo's level design is atrocious, even if it does have some fun guns and some decent encounters early on) but only one of them popularized limited weapon sets, regenerating health, and helped center FPS development around controllers rather than mice.

personally i think discussing games based on judging them for what design trends they inspired rather than how they actually play as games is insanely tedious and stupid but if you just don't like playing hl2 or halo then whatever i can't really stand replaying hl2 anymore

Even if it was bad just having the game would have been fine. DNF was totally wretched but at least a game came out and put a period on it.

Half Life 2 was one of the first FPS games I played where the story was told to you without going to a cutscene at any point. There were a few times where you're strapped into something but the game never cuts away to a cutscene and that was pretty cool. It helped make you feel connected to the world in a way Halo didn't.

Sakurazuka posted:I can see people liking Halo multi I guess but the campaign was garbage even at the time. mechanically, as an fps, it was a much more satisfying game than half-life 2. i don't care for the two weapon limit but the guns, just feel better than anything in half-life 2. the level design was a bit crap but halo 2 fixes that anyway, so i had a lot of fun as a kid playing co-op on the first two halos

I'm also scoffing on behalf of genuinely terrible early 2000s games. Like Sanity: Aiken's Artifact, whose main claim to fame is that the main character is voiced by Ice-T. Or Earth 2160, which might be the single derpiest RTS I've ever played. Or even high-profile disappointments that are "bad" relative to a stellar baseline, like Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Around the August 2012 part in this video I'm guessing is the first time Gabe himself went along with the whole "The Episodic Experiment is dead, we'll just refer to the future as a nebulous Half-Life 3 from now on." thing. From that point on things get more ephemeral from there. It's no longer Episode 3, it's "The Most Anticipated Game of All Time Half-Life 3".

Being stuck in a room while everyone talked to Gordon like a child was pretty poo poo even at the time.

you'd have to be a pretty petty rear end in a top hat to claim half life 2 did more damage to first person shooters than halo

Like no joke I am quite confident that the early 2000s, as people were just barely figuring out how 3D graphics should work, produced the worst-feeling games in human history. I'm not sure exactly which one deserves the #1 Hall of Shame award but there are just so many basic mistakes in core gameplay that were everywhere then and have never really been common before or since. Ironically it's also the reason 1998-2004 is when a lot of the best games ever made were released, because every once in a blue moon you got something with a little more playtesting (but not too much!) and got a Tribes or a Brood War or whatever where the jankiness enhanced the game rather than sinking it.

Look I think we can all agree that Wolfenstein: The New Order revitalized first person shooters so both Halo and Half Life 2 are irrelevant now anyway. So let's talk about how great Wolfenstein is

Not true at all, there are bad feeling games made from time immemorial to today. Graphical fidelity means nothing.

Like you can point to a million crappy PS1 euro platformers but Mario 64 existed. That alone proves everyone else's failure. The platforming in Half Life 1 is better than most actual platfrmers that would come later but that means nothing.

It's less to do with graphical fidelity and more to do with collision detection, non-standardized control schemes, and gimmickry at the expense of gameplay. You have all these tools and nobody with the slightest idea how to use them responsibly.
