Current Events > half life 2 is kinda overrated

(+) Yeah! (+)

great story, good gameplay, but between the vehicle levels and the overall tedium of the game feel, it's a chore to play.

Most real people agree with this

I really liked it, but used to claim it was the most overrated game of all time.

Now I think that's Super Mario 64 though.

Again, both are great games.

People overrate it because of the physics. I honestly enjoyed the first one a lot more
---

1 is better
---

1 is more overrated IMO.
---

the weapons sucked ass
---

I'm playing it now for the first time, and it's such a slog. I just got to the part where you got the monsters that jump and suck on people's heads. When does this pick up?
---

I thought it was great and not overrated in the slightest

Says the guy named after one of the most boring game characters of all time

The first game is much better gameplay wise, they did not gimp you ammo wise and the weapons were much more effective.
---

I agree.
---

I hate how they gave you no ammo so you had to Gravity Gun everything

And the fucking FEV suit had a shitty sprint system, flashlight, and a bunch of other stuff that all used the SAME meter

No wonder Valve doesn't make games anymore, come to think of it
---

It definitely hasn't aged well.
---

every good thing they did in HL2 was copied(and improved upon) since then

That gravity gun though. You could really get creative with it.

Mario 64 still hold up imo, Its a legit good platformer. Take the name half life from half life 2 and no one would remember it from any other generic shooter, say, singularity

I just did the boat part and got motion sick off this game. Should I bother to keep going or quit?
