Before Half-Life, shooters were going all in on being "immersive sims." Then Half-Life came out and showed you can use linear set pieces in a FPS to tell a mediocre story and people, for some reason, will absolutely love it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ampy@discuss.online 2 points 7 months ago (1 child) Half-Life doesn't deserve this slander. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 7 months ago* Yes, it absolutely does. They don't get to leave the series on a cliffhanger for nearly 20 years and not get called out. What happened to my little gnome dude after we launch that spaceship?! permalink fedilink source parent
