I guess you didn't play Far Cry.



While it isn't on Chrono Trigger's level, it's probaly the best FPS since HL.

Give me a call when something like chronotrigger can have realistic lighting realistic physics 5:1 audio realistic characters online multiplayer.

doens't matter when the story, gameplay and everything else about the game sucks though.

Half life has one of the most well known stories on the pc, half life 2 is a continuation of that story, halflife is considered the best shooter on the pc, halflife 2 is striving to replace it. Love to know how a game that succesful has "sucky gameplay story and everything else".

I want to know why in a vid for HL2 a scientist is talking to one of the brown aliens you used to kill in HL1 cry:

Well i cant remember what games were before it but half life had quick loading time, meaning an uninterrupted story, and the story was pretty cool.
HL also had good Ai, the graphics were some of the best at the time. You could tell teammates to follow you or stayput and you had bunch of weapons. I think what really made it live so long was that it was easy to mod. Compared to FPS games before it, HL was the king.

I found half life boring as well...FPS is WAY behind the times in terms of stories yet it is revolutionary to have one...pure bullshit.

heh. my post was deleted oOo:

Why the hell would you really need a good story anyway? The main aim of a fps is fun, not watching unskippable gay ass cutscenes for minutes on end to try and figure out where you;re meant to go or what you're meant to do. Maybe stories are good for shite like the game with the most redundant name in history FINAL fantasy..so final theres been about fucking 90 of them oOo: .


I dunno about you but i prefer to get into a game with the minimum of bs, rpg's do nothing but bore the living fuck out of me, some fps games have stories some dont, either way they don't really need a good story to be fun. Rpg's on the other hand...well theyre boring enough as it is, i suppose the story is the only thing that keeps most people awake while playing them. oOo:

Thief had an awesome story and was great fps game. Im not a HL fan, so I dont know what to say about those pictures. If it is HL2, it does look like the original HL.

Its the original halflife running on the hl2 engine.

Well said Irish biggrin:

doom 3> hl2

While i do think doom 3 will be more impacting, i think HL2 will last longer in terms of gameplay.
