Thank you. Yeah, it's an old game that kind of spawned the modern shooter. I remember being a wee kiddo playing but not really understanding what is going on. And even so, and me not being an avid FPS fan, I still found it fascinating
Very in-depth topic... I like "Stephen King" works so I'm glad that Steam founders took inspiration of one of them.
HL uses this train ride to show you the research facility daily routines, thus establishing the world and giving you time to enter the mindset of an everyday scientist working on secret government projects.
Very ambitious of a game at that time... I started to think the Half-Life I played was the first game after reading this... most of the things that Game did are normal/old by today's standard though.
It was very interesting read!! good to know about the expansions it had... didn't read the last parts of the post as I don't have much time right now so sorry... But I might do that later.
I would consider Half-life amongst the greats indeed. It set the bar higher for games and took storytelling to another level by giving it depth and unexplained situations on which we can still theorize. Nice post bro!
Thank you!
Yeah, Half life was a first in many respects. It raised the bar and set new standards at the time. Kind of like CoD did with MW or how The Witcher 3 did not too long ago.
While I am not a an FPS fan, I do love Half-life for its story
I read through most of the post - the lore from your account does seem far more interesting than I would of thought. I guess back then having a compelling story and campaign was pretty much a necessity.
I did find this video on youtube in my short follow up exploration...~.~
Yes, alot of the lore isn't readily apparent. I'm still curious what GMan is and what he wansts in the end. Too bad there probably won't be a HL3 too soon, if ever.
I think there are games today with good stories as well, just that it's harder to find between all the generic or awful ones.
I'm not much of a FPS fan myself, but the HL series is something else. It's not too cheesy, it's not too serious, the level layout is phenomenal, that even after years I can still tell you where to go to and what to do to advance.

Half-Life was revolutionary. Alot of the things it introduced into the mainstream then, are still commonplace now, though more polished.
Pretty much all Valve games are good at least in one aspect. But it is surprising they had this much of an impact straight out of the gate.
