HL2 was awesome. Alyx was the first fps companion that seemed halfway real, and her doggy was a good boy. Not to mention the gd gravity gun!!1

Half-Life 2 is a series of undercooked set pieces with a mediocre enemy roster padded out with enough travel sequences that add no gameplay value that an open world game would be embarrassed.

I like High on Life. It feels like an equivalent to one of those sixth generation Single or Double-A games that had ambition it couldn't realize, like Scrapland or something. The shooting is actually solid and I so far haven't really been annoyed by the dialogue. It's funnier than all of lovely Whedon banter in "humorous" games these days.

Game pass is great because you get a great analogy with movies.

You can be pissed off and disappointed at a movie you went to see at the theatre.

You can love a movie you caught on netflix even though youd be pissed off if you went to see it in the theatre.

Basically high on life is a lower bar because you got it included so enjoy it.

Enjoy anything you can damnit.

As a linear game I have been enjoying the hell out of High on Life, but one thing that does really suck and I find sort of baffling is that the game eventually lets you go back to previous areas to get money/go to places you couldn't before...Which is cool, but there is no map and as far as I can tell no way to mark the warp gate on the hud. So first place I went was the sand worm area to see what was going on there and then I lost track of where the warp gate was and now I have no idea how to get back. Like, the game is not vast but it's big enough that it should at least give you a way to track things other than the main quest. It really needs a map if it's going to let you free roam. Also seems like a missed opportunity to maybe put some little side quests in there, because the optional exploration feels pretty empty and as far as I can tell it's just treasure chests and collectables in areas where the enemies are already all dead.

You can tell the dude who thought the enemies were boring hung out in cover and cried about grenade spam when the game was new instead of constantly bunny hopping towards the enemy like you're supposed to. The enemies are simple because you're supposed to chew through dozens at a time dumbass. didn't you play halflife 1? there's a reason the enemy types barely changed

No splitscreen because seemingly 343i programmers know only how to code microtransactions now.

Yeah, but most deaths in the Godfather 2 are straight-forward gun kills. It doesn't offer the variety that Hitman 3 does!

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

Honestly I'm still casually playing Lawn Mowing Simulator here. After I finish that, probably the Vampire Survivors DLC and/or Marvel's Avengers, because I hate myself and it's rumoured their servers will get shut down next year.

I think that would be my second AAA game this year.

Doom already came out, half life was just a slower rehash.

Also half life 2 might have the worst feeling guns in video game history
