Shibawanko posted:Half Life isnt a cinematic game, it has a few scripted sequences but nothing like the hoop jumping in the sequel Actually my analysis indicates it is extremely cinematic. Cinematic = non-fixed camera. The Dennis System posted:There’s no defense for Xen though. Xen was the saving grace of Half-Life, a throwback to the pure age of video games such as Sokoban and Myst - when reflexes and Gamer skills were rated over "graphics" and storytelling. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Sep 1, 2018 |

Cinematic comes from kinema, which means movement. Check, mate, another victory for Real gamers.

Half Life 2 has the best shotgun in any video game that was made +/- ten years from its release.

40k is nothing but dreck and always has been and every game that uses the IP is much shittier for it. Also Post Scriptum, Squad, and Project Reality are all walking simulators.

tropico 4 and 5 are just tropico 3 DLC and I'll never buy another game from them again as long as the soundtrack is just those same 5 songs tropico 3 had promise but they failed to improve or build upon it meaningfully

Half life did that really annoying poo poo where it doesn't take control away from you, but it puts your character in a box while someone talks at you and you can't do anything but walk around in the box until they finish vomiting exposition at you. Way worse than skippable cutscenes, imo; just as bad as unskippable cutscenes tho

hackbunny posted:I'm surprised at how quickly Half-Life dropped out of collective gamer consciousness because it's my go-to example of game that blended story and gameplay really well. that, and level 2 of Metal Slug 3 that manages to tell a whole sci-fi horror story without a single word, entirely through level design I never understood how people had the patience to no death run that game. The final mission on it's own is as long as the entire first game.

the fact that the xbox one still exists and apparently occasionally sells a console despite the astoundingly unacceptable hardware failure rate of the 360 and the crib death of hd-dvd is proof positive of how loving stupid ~gamers~ are

food court bailiff posted:the fact that the xbox one still exists and apparently occasionally sells a console despite the astoundingly unacceptable hardware failure rate of the 360 and the crib death of hd-dvd is proof positive of how loving stupid ~gamers~ are The "three year warranty for everyone" thing is what made it I think. If they had just said "welp all the consoles we sold are exploding, sucks to be you!" then yeah nobody should ever have bought from them again. But they didn't. My experience was positive. I bought a 360, didn't get an extra warranty or anything like that. Probably two and half years later it red-ringed. I called them up, and without any hassle they sent me a prepaid shipping box to send it back for repairs. I got it back a week later, working perfectly. I didn't pay a dime for the repair or the shipping, and they didn't put me through any hassle or give me any grief in the slightest. They also included a note saying that I had an additional year warranty post-repair in case the unit acted up again. I never had another problem with it, it was still working fine when I got my XBONE. Companies can gently caress up, but it's all about how they respond. They messed up pretty bad, but they owned up to their mistakes and took the responsibility on themselves to make it right. People can respect that.

I always just buy Asus parts because they never fail, but if you're going to waste your money on garbage electronics you might as well get a good warranty I guess

Half-Life evolved the whole genre. A consequence of that of course though, is that subsequent FPS titles aped a lot of the good things about HL1 (to this day) until most of it wasn't seen as special anymore. That and mods stealing a lot of the spotlight - like Counter-Strike which became the most popular game in the world and somehow still is super popular

There are literally only two of these type of sequences in the game: 1) After the event 2)The ending. Every other set piece doesn't take control away from the player at all.

The 20 minute long train ride at the start doesn't take away control from the player technically.

Arkane couldn't make a Half-Life 3 that would libe up to the name. They barely did so with System Shock. The closest developer would be the ones who do the Metro games and even then they would be far. Valve was arguably the greatest developer in existence a decade ago and only rivaled by Nintendo's top tier efforts.
