I like a lot of Valve games but have never understood what supposedly makes half-life 2 (1987) so good. For the thirty years since its release, niggas were out there complaining about AAA games and then they turned around and say the most linear, epic quirk chungus cutscene, drawn out, anti-skill, gimmick shooter is the best thing since sliced bread
I really do not fucking get it

I didn't have internet when I played it, so I didn't have any else's opinions on it. I liked it.

I stopped playing AAA games because of stuff like churning out another stale COD or Halo title every year. I never played any other HL game, so if they made 500 of them, all meh, it would be the same.
