Mid console but the full open season to piracy elevated it to pretty high on the tier list

I played counterstrike and halo, i enjoyed both for different reasons. I stopped playing CS when 1.6 was released because my pc couldn't run it at more than 20fps.

If you wanna argue Halo is one of the best console shooters of all time, go nuts, but it came out three years after Half-Life and that game absolutely pisses on Halo

My parents hated video games or the concept of “children having fun” so I didn’t have any consoles. We had PC’s for school work though and I managed to play Doom, Lemmings, Warcraft 2, basically any shareware disk I could get my hands on.

I got a job at 13 or 14 to secretly buy a Voodoo 3 2000, and then even more secretly install it in the family PC so I could play Tribes and CS.

Stroll together, win together
My brother won a Dreamcast at a work raffle so I commandeered it and remember loving Sonic Adventure but being disappointed at the rest of the game selection it had

My dad worked at ICL (British IBM) so he was a massive PC/shareware guy so he insisted that MS-DOS games were just as good as console games and didn't see the need to get one until the PS1 came out

Similarly when the Xbox came out he insisted on getting that instead of the "inferior" PS2 so I missed out on a lot of PS2 classics :( I remember being disappointed with the original Xbox aside from Halo because of the severe FOMO from lack of franchises it had.

I mean I played counter-strike in high school and objectively realize it was the "better" game, but Halo was arguably responsible for bringing multiplayer FPSes to consoles and subsequently the masses.

gently caress, am I arguing about vidya games (that I don't even play anymore) on the internet?

Halo is better than Half-Life. It plays better, it looks better, also it doesn’t have Xen in it.



Then again this is from the guy that said “uh MGS games are actually bad” and Rare platformers for pedophiles are better than the entire PS1 library, so I’d take that with a grain of salt frankly.

I literally didn't say that and I don't know why you instantly resorted to this brain damaged redditor bullshit. Disagree all you want but disagree with what I ACTUALLY say instead of making poo poo up in your head to get mad about. It's a video game console, it's not going to gently caress you.

Lola are in the manual but not the game iirc.

In F1 Pole Position 64 (which is one of the few games based on the 1996 F1 season.) he’s and American named “Driver X”.

Could be worse. I had a college roommate who was Team Xbox because it was the American console.

The biggest shame is the failure of the Dreamcast. I wish Sega never exited the market but the Saturn’s disastrous export performance sealed the hardware division’s fate. Kinda sad, the Saturn had some gems.

Are you genuinely hosed in the head? Half-Life fundamentally changed how games were made, paced, and presented stories. Half-Life did to games what Citizen Kane did to movies, Halo straight up wouldn't exist as it is now without the innovations made in HL.
