Man I loved those custom skins/models that people worked on in CS and Source. When my buddy was talking to me about CSGO I asked if people still worked on cool skins.
"Oh yeah dude, check this out."

Mario is just CoD with a 2 year cycle instead of 1.
Cape > Flying Hat > Tail > Squrriel suit are all the same item
multiple generic fireball gimmicks.
New Mario is just an expansion pack for Mario 3 and 3D mario are just Mario 64 expansion packs.
Sunshine is the one exception and people hate it for not spoon feeding them more of the same mario.
It sucks. There's still design space and instead they make another cape skin.

It's not that. It's the cancer inherit in competitive games. Everyone plays to grind their rank which means nothing, rather than play for fun. Then it just becomes a habit and they endlessly grind it out for 100s of hours on end. Suddenly everyone is super tryhard and only copies what the top players do. Instead of playing a game they're mindlessly going through the same routine over and over again.

Basically this >>13955423 is the source of most of my hate. I could bear the never-ending balance improvements a la Wolrd of Warcraft but the lack of customization is just pure evil. Comparing CS:GO to CS:S and CS is like comparing Windows to any UNIX-like OS.
CS never even had good mechanics to begin with, it became so popular because it was like a chat room: people went on the server to have fun with all the people on it, not to pretend to be some e-sportman. All the custom maps and game modes, the skins, the fucking community was the heart of Counter-Strike. Same much goes for pretty all Valve games up until that day in 2010 when Valve decided to move all their Source games to a new engine. After that day everything went to shit. Not only new Valve games have barely any customizability but they even went back and made games like TF2 worse by killing the majority of good community servers and forcing sv_pure on their own servers.

They've had almost no evolution at all since their inception and they all offer the exact same basic boring gameplay. Get spawned in a map, build up your army, destroy the base of the enemy.

RTSes are a very fixed style of game, just like Tetris: If you tweak the formula too much it just turns into a different genre entirely.
While it's completely true that most of them are just refinements of DUNE II, there are a few rare examples of excellent RTS games that really shake up the basic formula.
Have you tried World in Conflict? It cuts the fluff of collecting resources and building units and focuses more on combat: It's abandonware too!

You build units to scout and figure out the enemy strategy and then you counter it. Let's look at a recent rts game, Planetary Annihilation. You have to expand your base as fast as possible. You build some defensive units, some fast units to scout the enemy and building units to expand your base. There are dozens of strategies, like rushing the enemy, rushing into other planets and different combinations of units.

You start by expanding your economy while at the same time building a little army and while you do that you also constantly have to spy on your enemy to see incoming attacks and also to see for what kind of strategy he goes (e.g. is he trying to rush you with a early army, or is he trying to build high tech).

I got a different POV regarding this.
I play Xonotic; that game doesn't have matchmaking and the stats is largely opt-in. For some modes like race people don't play to win and instead focus on improving their personal best times, but the end of the match will still record who wins. Yet you can still see the to-be winners of the match help his would-be competitors git gud.
For other modes, you can convince the other players in the match to use spawn weapons only for the hell of it. Of course, the game still has some form of elo points and people who will grind that or wins off of newbies.
So winning might still be nice, but it's not as imperative.

HL2 was genuine garbage. First off, the weapon variety is complete shit. The pistol and the SMG are 100% useless when you get the AR2 and shotgun, meanwhile they both had significant roles in the first game despite being the weakest weapons. In the first game, the pistol had the longest range of any non-crossbow weapon which has its obvious uses, ands the MP5 was a good all-rounder that was often used for finishing soldiers or stunlocking them into dying if you see them first. We have crowbar, pistol, SMG, SMG 2.0, shotgun, sniper, grenades, RPG. Where the fuck are the cool alien weapons? There shgould have at the very least been Combine stand-ins for weapons that existed in the first game. No tau cannon, no gauss gun, no snarks, no nothing. Hard to put into words how lame it is compared to HL1. Of course, the leaked beta had leftovers of many weapons that would have fit the bill including the actual tau cannon, combine guard gun, flare guns, hopwire grenade, immolator (acid flamethrower), and tripmines (loved tripmines in hl1, why they were cut I have no idea.) Many of these should have been in the game for variety, but instead Valve stripped down the weapons to the point of pretty much being objectively inferior to the HL1 selection of weapons. Also, why can I only hold 30 rounds for my shotgun instead of 128?
Second, the enemy variety is extremely pathetic. ONE enemy returns from HL1, and that's the headcrab, also known as the weakest enemy in the franchise that is never a threat to the player under any circumstances, ever. Classic zombies walk at a quarter of a mile per hour and even stop walking to swing their claws which means you have to be basically AFK to ever be hit by them. Fast zombies do 5 damage per swipe even on hard I believe, less than that of a headcrab. Poison zombies are also harmless along with their headcrab variant because they're never placed in a location where you can actually die after being hit by one, if fast zombies + a poison headcrab were ever in a room at once that might be the case, but as it stands they only serve to scare the player despite only being scary to fags with arachnophobia.
The only other real enemy you fight are humans with guns. Cops with shitty guns and aim, soldiers with slightly better guns and shitty aim. The soldiers pale in comparison to how hard and fun HL1 soldiers were, quite pathetic when you consider that HL2 was made six years later and had technogically improved in many ways and that these soldiers are fucking transhuman cyborgs wearing 40 pounds of kevlar getting merked by some nerd. It shows that these soldiers are weak as fuck, combine soldier engagements are very common and they often said a large number of soldiers after freeman, meanwhile in HL1 every soldier encounter was significant because they were so insanely tough, on hard difficulty it was like "fuck, here we go again" and it was awesome for that. Here, they're just cannon fodder.
Gunship and strider fights are boring as shit, literally fire rockets then take cover and get ammo. Not fun at all.
Antlions are boring as fuck, iirc they were the only enemy not designed by Ted Backman (guy who designed most HL1 enemies) and instead by some diversity higher, and it shows. They are incredibly generic looking and I actually forgot they existed at all until I replayed the entire HL saga lately and found them in the game to my surprise.
Once again I'll talk about the beta. Why the fuck was every alien from HL1 removed aside from the headcrab? Might have removed them as well because they're fucking harmless and the game has basically no relation to HL1 anyway, with every single character including Gordon himself being retconned. (occasionally, in EP1 when Alyx mentions that "Gordon used to climb through vents to race Barney when Kliener locked himself out of his office" because he climbs through vents a lot in the HL series, give me a fucking break.) Why the hell would they remove the houndeye and bullsquid? If any other aliens you need these two to connect it to HL1. I want to see the ways of which bullsquids and houndeyes have ravaged the post-apocalyptic Earth, how they damaged the ecosystem. Having them not present at all is mind blowingly retarded. Did the Combine wipe them out? How? Why are they not still coming in from Xen? Why haven't they wiped out Antlions and wild headcrabs? Why would they wipe out something that only serves to make life difficult for those who live outside of Combine rule?
e3c21d No.13959012
>>13959004
Second, Combine synths. How can you have a scenario where your imagination can run wild, you can design the coolest army of combined alien races of all time and you manage to completely fuck it up and have us fight only humans for 99% of the entire game? Literally all they had to do was create synth designs, figure out how to make it work in gameplay, and then add it to the game. HL1 took two years to make and had so many enemies with cool designs, how can you fuck up so bad when the game took six years to make? Oh, right, they focused on gimmicky tech demo bullshit like physics that nobody cared about post-2007 instead of focusing on making a game that's not shit. This game had the potential to be visually interesting, have fun gameplay, and truly be a deserved sequel to HL1 but Valve fucked up when they stripped everything away from HL1 and didn't replace it with anything at all.
Next. Episode one. This in itself is a massive waste of potential, and let me tell you why. This game has many atmospheric areas, in which the atmosphere is completely lost because I have stronk womyn #5005 (but she's realistic guys) over here killing transhuman cyborgs wearing 40 pounds of kevlar while she wears a fucking jacket held together by duct tape. Episode one would have been awesome if you were completely alone and trying to escape the city, imagine how atmospheric and terrifying the entire episode could have been if it were just you in the darkness of the underground (with guns and ammo, not that shit they pulled where you have no ammo) , just you when the zombies swarmed the elevator, just you in the hospital, just you leaving City 17 on a train. This would truly be in the same vein as HL1, being in a terrifying and very dangeorus situation while all alone and isolated from everyone else. Everyone but you, soldiers, zombies, and antlions has either escaped or been wiped out thus far. Aside from all of this, the """final boss""" was lame as fuck. It wasn't even three striders, it was just one strider.
Next, Episode two. Finally, an interesting alien was introduced via the Hunter. Too bad the only way to kill them without reducing yourself to 0 ammo for all guns on hard difficulty is with the car, and the way their flechettes work you have to jump out of the car when the flechettes hit the car to avoid taking damage until they explode, then you have to hop back in while the car is stopped making you vulnerable to getting shot again which is fucking obnoxious. Aside from that, I like the new environment but the Episode has the same problem of being with Alyx. Alyx kills my immersion so much it's not even funny, in a series that prides itself on immersing the player. Seeing a female killing soldiers that, once again, are fucking TRANSHUMAN CYBORGS WEARING 40 POUNDS OF KEVLAR while she wears nothing and uses a shitty automatic pistol with recoil that should be breaking her wrist utterly destroys my immersion. The new antlion worker is also boring as fuck, and Episode two has a glitch that was never fixed where if you get hit by a worker or a poison headcrab, your screen flashes white and shakes violently any time you take damage from anything unless you restart the chapter, very annoying and makes the game pretty much unplayable.
The HL2 saga pales in comparison to HL1 because Valve only used these games as glorified tech demos and not actual good games like HL1.

Speed is constant, but how well you move between positions is regarded as movement. Sure, it's not not blazing fast like Quake, but there is a lot of room for optimization and game awareness. You could even consider boost-hopping as a movement option for surprising angles.
>Quickly reflexes in professional play is not an argument
Look, I'm not saying other professional players DON'T have this either, but regarding pure reflex speed, CS is the most absurd one when it comes to reaction time in its players, just look at how they guard angles, shit's as close as it can get in some cases, and those little shits hit those shots.

I agree that weapons in HL2 are pretty boring and suffer from the 'Doom pistol syndrome' and there should've been more weird weapons but complaining about having thirty rounds instead of one hundred and eight is simply silly. The amount of ammo you get in HL1 was absolutely ridiculous, never in the game you feel like you're even close to depleting it. It obviously was done for balance purposes.
So was the removal of beta weapons. Folks on this board love to praise Opposing Force but I really don't get what for. Just because it has more weapons and some shoved-in Race X? These weapons never even had any significance in that game, no situation where you would be required to use them. Just a crowbar but stronger, a pistol but stronger, just an SMG but stronger, just a hivehand but stronger. More is not always better. The retail version has less weapons than the beta simply because you would never use them.
One last thing to add about HL2 weapons is that despite being pretty pathetic in the single-player they feel pretty great in the multi-player, at least in terms of usefulness.
Now, enemy variety. While I agree that it's a pretty weak part of the game I feel like comparing it to HL1 isn't doing it justice, even if sequels should improve on the original game. Both games had weak enemies. The original only had soldiers and assasins, sequel had only shotgunners, I guess.
Both games have shitty slow zombies that can't do anything, except HL1 puts them against you where your only weapons are a crowbar and a pistol with barely any ammo and, as you might've noticed, you don't see them much in later parts of the game, while HL2 dedicates a whole chapter to zombies while giving you a whole aresenal to deal with them with fast zombies being the only threat to unskilled player. I agree with everything else you said but one thing I have to point out is that damage numbers were shit in the original as well. After playing both games and mods for them to death, I can give you an advise: never pick up the suit batteries and maybe keep your health under 75%.
And don't think too much about why certain things aren't in the game in terms of lore, it's just silly. It's like wondering why all buildings in Fallout 3 and New Vegas are full of untouched loot two hundred years after the bombs fell.
And lastly, the episodes. Yes, fuck yes, that stupid bitch. I just wish she never existed. The heart of the Half-Life series has always been in being the lone survivor and they just had to force you into companionship with her. God, Episode One has such fucking great atmosphere and it brings me tears of comfort just remembering it. And the had to ruing it with Alyx. Episode Two, on the other hand… yeah, not so much. I agree that Hunter is the single most fun enemy in the sequel especially how it was later used by modders but the overall setting… I hate it. Sure, it's nothing really offensive but trading the original and unique Eastern-European city for what? A cave, some forests, a mountain in the background. Yeah, never seen that in any other game. And I didn't like the graphics changes, in my opinion they made the game look way more cartoony. I know it's an unpopular opinion but Episode Two is my least favourite of HL2 games.
I can recommend you one mod that you might find interesting. It's called Abandon: The Town and the whole idea is to add gameplay changes to HL2. Without spoilering what's what here's the link: http://www.moddb.com/mods/abandon-the-town. The author is also making another mod with the same-ish premise called H.E.V. Mark VI: http://www.moddb.com/mods/hev-mark-vi.
Also I find it sad that no one cares about the proper use of physcis in games nowadays.

Not every weapon has to be used by force. Some people prefer a shotgun, some prefer an assault rifle and some like sniping. Allowing you to pick which you want to use without forcing any of them is good game design.
Half life 1 has no real mood setting chapters. It's a pretty basic action game once the long intro is out of the way. Half life 2 wasn't trying to be Half-life+1, it was trying to be it's own game. It's successful at having an amazing atmosphere all the way through it. Not every level is great sure but it all feels like the same world where Black Mesa is all over the damn place.
Zombies aren't supposed to be a super threatening enemy. They're supposed to be disturbing. They're a look at what happens if you fail to stop the combine. This will happen to everyone you're supposed to care about. The zombie bombs are supposed to be horrific. Ravenholme is what happens if you fail your mission.
The reason why bullsquids and houndeyes aren't in the game is because the combine have locked down the planet. Their guard dog of choice is the antlion which murders any one who tries to escape the human pens. They have limited numbers and limited tech this side of the portal so they make effective use of the ant lions. It wouldn't work if City 17 was swarming with random Zen life forms. It would no longer be a combine held city then would it? Those things were only in Black Mesa due to an invasion, they serve no purpose so the combine just murdered them.
It seems like you're looking for HL+1 and then HL2+1 in the episodes. That was never the intended goal. The episodes are poorly done but it's fair to admit they did a good job in being different to the main game. They feel like you're no longer in city 17, things HAVE changed and they play that out well.
HL2's biggest problem is that it became the bench mark to work from. Everything built on top of it and Bioshock to get where we are now. It loses it's character as everyones now wearing the same dress it designed so many years ago.

UT and CS are vastly different games. You're comparing an arena shooter with a tactical shooter and saying one is better than the other.
Arena shooters died because of consoles. When the 360 became the lead platform for FPS games everything had to be slowed down for the joypad to work. Knee high walls and iron sights are how they did most of the slowing down. Since this dominated the Triple A market for over a decade we're left with a complete lack of people able to handle faster speeds.
This lack of skill then translates into getting dominated by those of us with arena shooter experience. Instead of putting the time in to be good they just go back to CoD.
Any one competitive is now playing CS, DOTA or LOL because they had millions of dollars propping up the tournament scene now. There's no money in Quake because no one artifically forced the E sports meme and it has no organic growth as it's no longer the premiere competitive genre arena shooters used to be.
Basically you have a hostile environment to games like Unreal tournament and Quake. The only reason CS survives is because CS has been dumbed down to fuck compared to 1.6 and it's the only option left in town. As a big fan of the FPS genre my realistic multiplayer options are CS or 3 MOBA wannabes. None of which really appeal to me.

Nah man, 1.6 was still going strong by the time cs:go got released. Yes, cs:go is trash compared to 1.6, not denying that, but either way cs wouldn't die that fast. Lootboxes and e-sport kind of ruining the pc gaming culture, killing older games but cs is one of those games that easily survived this new wave of cancer.

The issue is less ammo but more enemies, I barely have enough shotgun ammo for a single large firefight engagement which is just dumb. Worst offender is the AR2 which only holds 90 rounds total, very annoying. If I don't feel comfortable going into a firefight when I have the maximum ammo capacity allowed, there's a bit of an issue.
I think the reason most people like Opposing Force is the art style, it's a different and unique take on the HL1 saga, it manages to feel different despite being in the same exact facility as HL1. Not a big fan or Race-X or the new weapons though. I spent a large portion of my childhood playing HL:OPFOR multiplayer though, loved every second of it, never played HL2 multiplayer (CS:S filled that role.)
Some of the weapons removed from HL2 that were in HL1 like the tripmines I used very often, they should have added an alien weapon that has common ammo (like, as common as AR2 ammo) that functions in a unique way and looks interesting at the very least. Immolator would have been cool as shit as well for obvious reasons, a flamethrower just feels right in the HL universe in my opinion.
Zombies do set the tone for HL1 and only exist while the player is still getting use to the game early on. I also find the appearance of HL1 zombies to be more disturbing than that of the HL2 zombies for some reason. Headcrabs were also harder but more annoying due to the fact that the crowbar can't take them out easily like in HL2. As for Ravenholm, as all know it's just gimmicky tech demo bullshit to show off the physics engine, it's really boring as fuck if atmospheric. Only good thing I can say about the zombies is that shooting a fast zombie in the head with a shotgun while it leaps at you is satisfying as hell.
I think the setting of White Forest looks good visually, though it is boring in comparison to the unique contrast of old communist architecture and new Combine technology that really made the game look special and stand out. With regards to the source engine graphical updates, I personally liked how everything looked shiny though I know it was grossly overexaggerated.
Physics were cool in 2004, but they don't mean anything now. If Valve didn't focus so much on it and stopped shoving it into your face every 30 minutes, the game would have aged better.

>Not every weapon has to be used by force. Some people prefer a shotgun, some prefer an assault rifle and some like sniping. Allowing you to pick which you want to use without forcing any of them is good game design.
That's not how HL works. Every gun has a role, and some weapons are better for some enemies. Crowbars/pistol for headcrabs/zombies, shotgun for vorts + houndeyes, tripmines and grenades for soldier encounters, MP5 for soldier encounters and as an all-rounder, crossbow for shark thing, etc.
>Half life 1 has no real mood setting chapters. It's a pretty basic action game once the long intro is out of the way. Half life 2 wasn't trying to be Half-life+1, it was trying to be it's own game. It's successful at having an amazing atmosphere all the way through it. Not every level is great sure but it all feels like the same world where Black Mesa is all over the damn place.
HL1 didn't need mood setting chapters, the chapters set the moods themselves for the entire facility. Half-Life 2 wasn't trying to be any unique game, it was a glorified tech demo that aged horribly in contrast to HL1 because of it. I do like the world of HL2, though.
>Zombies aren't supposed to be a super threatening enemy. They're supposed to be disturbing. They're a look at what happens if you fail to stop the combine. This will happen to everyone you're supposed to care about. The zombie bombs are supposed to be horrific. Ravenholme is what happens if you fail your mission.
I have several issues with this. First of all, that's not even remotely an excuse for a level filled with them, you're just admitting it makes for shitty gameplay. Second, zombies in HL1 looked more disturbing and they made more sense with how the stomach was used to feed and how the ribs were used as teeth. Third, the retcon for zombies technically being alive is stupid IMO because it wasn't present at all in the first game (zombies in HL1 are dead, their head is nothing but a skull and they don't make any noises indicating they're alive at all). It's just something they did because they thought it would be scary and disturbing, it gets old really quickly.
>The reason why bullsquids and houndeyes aren't in the game is because the combine have locked down the planet. Their guard dog of choice is the antlion which murders any one who tries to escape the human pens. They have limited numbers and limited tech this side of the portal so they make effective use of the ant lions. It wouldn't work if City 17 was swarming with random Zen life forms. It would no longer be a combine held city then would it? Those things were only in Black Mesa due to an invasion, they serve no purpose so the combine just murdered them.
Nah, that's a load of complete bullshit. The actual reason is because they couldn't find a use for them in-game so they just cut them like the lazy fucks they are, continuity to HL1 be damned. They were great enemies gameplay-wise too. Also, bullsquids still exist in the HL universe as one took off Eli's leg. Also, I don't know what you mean by "It wouldn't work if City 17 was swarming with random Zen life forms", there are none in City 17 before the uprising but there's a shitload of hostile alien creatures OUTSIDE of City 17, along the coast. Also, the Combine hardly locked down the planet, Gordon drives past like three armed rebel outposts which would be utterly destroyed if the Combine truly had it 'locked down'.
>It seems like you're looking for HL+1 and then HL2+1 in the episodes. That was never the intended goal. The episodes are poorly done but it's fair to admit they did a good job in being different to the main game. They feel like you're no longer in city 17, things HAVE changed and they play that out well.
Yes, I'm looking for a sequel to the first game, hence why the game is called Half-Life 2 and why I criticize it for being so unlike HL2. The only difference between HL1 and HL2 is that HL2 is heavily stripped down in terms of weapon and enemy variety, and that they added a bunch of bullshit that doesn't improve gameplay like physics and facial animations
>b-but zombies can punt barrels!!
Doesn't matter, happens rarely and doesn't deal much damage.
>HL2's biggest problem is that it became the bench mark to work from. Everything built on top of it and Bioshock to get where we are now. It loses it's character as everyones now wearing the same dress it designed so many years ago.
No, like I said before its biggest problem is that Valve focused on making it a tech demo for the Source engine and not actually a good game. The myth that "every game copied it so it seems bad now by comparison" is a load of absolute horseshit pushed by the retarded HL2 fandom, because games copied HL1 as well but that game is infinitely better and aged infinitely better because it was an actual good game.

You're autism is implying everyone is you and they're not. I used the shotgun to fight the grunts, I'd get in their face and murder them. I'd use the assault rifle on the hound eyes. That's what makes the game work, having options to pick from. It's also why the prototype guns don't return, they never really did anything outside of a broken rocket jump. They're cool but don't fit the world any more.
The entire level filled with them is a boat ride through a destroyed area that combine used headcrab missles to destroy. They're hidden away in side passages and stumble out towards you as you pick up supplies. I find their screaming to be creepy as hell, they're less goofy than HL1s zombies. Ravenholme is a tech demo but first time through it's creepy.
No one said they no longer existed, but they're not part of the combines forces which is all Gordon is dealing with. The role bullsquigs would play is done by the antlions. Your problem seems to be again that you want HL1+1 instead of it's own game. The world changed, enemies changed.

I didn't say anything about the grunts, I also used the shotgun against them. Using the MP5 on houndeyes is a complete waste of ammo, you were objectively doing it wrong. Like I said, every single gun has a role in the game, "weapon choice" isn't even a concept, there is an objectively best weapon for each enemy which is how it should be because that's good game design, without that it's just an incoherent mess of weapons. The prototype guns can be replaced with something else and new, such as the Immolator or flare gun which would have obvious uses in certain scenarios. If they don't fit the world, get new weapons that do, dropping all interesting weapons and replacing them with nothing is not an excuse for shit weapon selection.

How can they be less goofy than HL1 zombies? They act far too zombie-like now with their retarded shambling, they look like a mentally retarded, physically crippled adult trying to walk. They're hardly creepy, meanwhile the HL1 zombies truly invoked the uncanny valley effect, you could almost barely tell if they were human at first which is how it should be. Aside from that, Ravenholm isn't even scary because not only are zombies not a threat, but the game is fucking screaming "YOU SHOULD BE SCARED NOW, CUE VERY SCARY MUSIC AND LEGS DANGLING AND IT'S VERY SCARY FEEL FEAR PLEASE", it's too in-your-face to be anything resembling scary and not over the top.

And? Not an excuse for them not being present once again, and also bullsquids and antlions are literally nothing alike. One hides in toxic waste, the other burrows underground. One is a muscular bipedal creature, the other is a flying insect. They serve very different roles gameplay wise, I don't give a shit about your retarded excuses for them being cut story-wise that don't even make sense story-wise, cutting them from gameplay was pointless and a terrible decision.

What do you mean by floaty and sluggish? You character keeps moving after you stop? No air control? After you land your character keeps sliding?
Because classic games, like the first UT and older Source/GoldSrc have these features. Once you jump you can't change your direction mid air in the first ut. All this air control that people seem to love is a new feature. Then this "ice skating" thing that people complain about, this is also only found in older games. You had it in the original cs, but in cs:go you instantly stop. And UT is slow in general, quake and half life are fast games. UT99/UT3 are the slower ones, ut2k4 is the fast one.
And what exactly do you mean by floaty? Because 2k4 is clearly the floaty one.

Of course ironsight is going to be a problem if you take the basic level design and gameplay principles from arena shooters. The quantity of factors needing consideration affects processing speed. In arena shooters like Quake for example, most complexity has been stripped away, but it gives you lesser time to process these factors by adding in the equally unrealistic movement allowing players to gain speed. Now take a game like Call of Duty, which gives you much more time to process the scenario, but is less complex than Quake because it doesn't have enough significant factors to warrant the amount of time given. As you can see in my shit diagram, the green line is to represent the ideal, the red and blue areas indicate that the gameplay is simple and complex respectively. I don't actually play Rainbow Six: Siege, but from what I've seen, it looks like it's balanced well enough.
In conclusion, when introducing mechanics like ironsights that slow down the gameplay, you have to increase the amount of factors to take into consideration.

Schmuley, what lists are you talking about? HL2 was at most an average garbage game with little to no fun. I never hear anyone mentioning it. All praise always goes back to HL1 and that's the truth.
I can remember I downloaded HL2 piracy version and couldn't even play for more than one and a half hour. It had little in common with HL1 and felt uncomfy to play. Perhaps they should have never released HL2 and make a different game under a different name instead. It's just HL was anticipated and famous names do sell regardless of what trash content is put inside. Valve released this cheaply glued game mainly to justify the engine and to sell other games like CS source etc.

I decided to join this meme and wasted over 1000 hours into it. I started fine since I did it for fun and was enjoying the difference in characters and roles since when a game has a lot of different classes that are somewhat unique it scratches a nice itch for me. Over time it sucked me in and I started to hate it but I could not stop playing. I made this thing determine who I was, I went mental, I was angry at friends for not being serious even in normals, I hit myself whenever I made huge fuck ups, and when I finally got to gold like the friends who left me I stopped playing and never looked back. I have occasionally gone to play for a little bit but uninstall after a day of playing because I get too frustrated. League now has some disconnect in my brain to where I am alaways angry and never learn from my mistakes like I do in other games that are demanding of mechanics and thought.

My first PC games were Half-life 1 and Warcraft 2. I still have the t-shirt they packaged in with HL1 here.
Stop trying to revise history like a goddamn kike. Half life 2 was mind blowing. It's a very good game and people liked it then and like it now. You're just making up bullshit like the fat kid who's dad works at Nintendo.
We already had 3 games in Black Mesa. We had every possible combatant playable. HL2 took the story to post-invasion Earth which made sense considering they had been invaded by 2 different alien races at that point.
There were 3 mild complaints back then.
1, Gordon is overblown. Making him a legend doesn't fit how the original worked. Freemans better as a random than a mythical figure.
2, The boat section goes on a bit long. It's not bad for the time but it just goes on too long and could have done with being about 25% shorter.
3, Some of the trailer content was missing. We got an explanation for this from Valve but people still wanted their blue tentacle monsters.
I'm really sick of kids who never experienced the era and these technological leaps spewing such utter bullshit. Next we'll have people complaining that Doom 3 is ugly when it was mind blowing at the time and clearly a huge step the same way HL2 was. Historical revisionism is just rather pathetic. It's people trying to feel smarter than they are and project their current ideas on events they were never a part of. I'm sure HL2 is very disappointing when both cost you a dollar in a christmas sale.

It's trying to lull you into a false sense of security to pull the rug out from under you, but it doesn't have the balls to just do it. Before you reach the game itself you get 2 pretty explicit content warnings.
I just don't get why you would make a game like that and then do everything in your power to sabotage yourself. If you're that much of a pussy, don't make a game with a dark twist in the first place. The only explanation I have is that this isn't a passion project at all and just tries to be let's player bait, while attempting to dodge any trigger controversy.

Original CS didn't have fixed bullet spreads. You couldn't learn to make your gun 100% accurate.
Map design has completely changed. Any maps that were difficult for one side or the other have been changed into entirely new maps. A good example of Assault which now has windows and vantage points from every direction giving the CTs a huge shift in power. We went from the Ts being in control and CTs having to use grenades and team play to get in to CTs being in control and having multiple ways to thin out the crowd inside.

No, anyone old enough to play HL1 first hated HL2 aside from the most retarded of fans. Guess what, dipshit? Everyone loves Destiny 2 and Battlefield 1 now, does that make them great games? Fuck no. How popular a game is is not an argument for how good it is, and it really just shows you have nothing else to say about it besides "w-well, everyone ELSE liked it so it must be good!!!11"

Holy fucking shit you are actually retarded, only children who were teenagers were mindblown by the novelty shit HL2 added, people who were old enough to like HL1 still think it's a disappointment in one way or another.

I had a bit of a hard time thinking of games I hate. I've played games that were infamous for being bad on the NES like Wizards and Warriors 2, where your character's basic sword attack had a pitifully short range and Deadly Towers, which needs no introduction, and I still love them because they invoke memories of me playing them on my grandparents' ancient cabinet TV from the 70's with my brothers.
I really resent pics related because Borderlands is the perfect example of being one of those hyped-up games that you play for a few hours before you set it aside on the shelf for it to collect dust. I don't want to recall why I hate this game so much, it's enough that I remember the shotgun you get from the guy with the gimpy leg that shoots out a bunch of blue swirls that have a velocity slower than the guy from David Lynch's lawn tractor movie, they spread out like a 50-year old Catamite's projectile diarrhea and, when they hit somebody, the swirls just, kind of, bitchslap the dude and he still comes running at me all goofy-like as if nothing happened.
And Modern Warfare 2's Striker is such an ineffectual piece of shit that it might as well be blasting compressed air at other players. At least it's better than Modern Warfare 3. I also had more fun playing the hidden port of Zork with a gamepad than I did playing any of Black Ops' actual modes.
