actually sick to my stomach i love half life so much
#hl1 gameplay vs hl2 gameplay is maybe my favorite piece of storytelling in half life and its so unintentional#and is clearly just me digging too deep but i love it anyways#hl1 gameplay is so unforgiving and cruel because the game wants you to know you're some scientist with almost zero gun training#going against armed soldiers and it does not want you to forget#you have to play hl1 so differently compared to hl2 or even just a lot of fps games at the time#its a game about strategy and problem solving first and foremost#by hl2 gordon has reached the status of an old legend#a story resistance members tell in order to inspire hope and change#hl2 is so kind and forgiving combat wise compared to hl1#and i can't help but wonder if its because the narrative has shifted around gordon so much#hes not just 'some theoretical physicist' now hes humanitys savior and final hope#sorry. what was i saying. oh yeah half life is a good series and hl2 is gonna be 20 this year.#half life
