🎨 Is Half Life 2 Good

Originally posted by XanDer-XTX: HL1 has better combat and fast pacely gameplay, whereas HL2 has an insightful and better storyline, amazingly notion, impressive lighting and good graphics. I think I'm in the 50/50 situation, can't decide between both. I like both and I've been playing them for 8 years now. Something i realized is that, Half Life 2 is a good game, but a bad sequel. Like why the fuck does it even have to be Gordon Freeman and Black Mesa? Seems like another mute avatar could have worked well. And GMan, I don't see the point of him hiring Gordon. Yeah the Cascade was his doing, but I don't see why Gordon has to be hired in the first Half Life 2 reminded me a lot of the Matrix series - the first one was just so gosh darn good, they had to grasp at straws for the sequel. The first three chapters almost feel like a fanfic made by a kid who really liked the Matrix, to a point where he thought "HAY, THE MATRIX WOULD BE COOL MIXED WITH HALF LIFE." Half-Life 2 will likely load slightly faster, but since levels will be contained in one big compressed file, this probably won't help HL2 performance much. Still, it's good for your overall system ^{Reshade preset for Half-Life 2 Vanilla, increased ray tracing (SSR) and fix depth buffer flickering. Half-Life 2 Lambda Reshade This preset for Half-Life 2 Vanilla made with Reshade visually improves the game without weighing too heavily on performance.} Synergy is a simple Half-Life 2 Modification (Mod) that enables you to play through the Half-Life 2 series and many other 3rd-party campaigns cooperatively with friends. ^{It really makes Half Life 2 pop to life like no other. To say Half Life 2 is timeless doesn't even do it justice. It's just beyond any kind of shooter i've ever played. Even some of the biggest budget Triple A shooters i've played don't compare to the quality of detail in Half Life 2. I can't sing the technical praises if this game enough.} 86b1kaQ.
