Its basically the intro to the original Half-Life game. If you haven’t I’d highly suggest playing the original or getting Black Mesa which is a remake of the original by a third-party company but with Valve’s blessing to do so.
Not my cup of tea. Preferred RTS etc. Not really bothered other than GoldenEye, Quake 2 and a little timesplitters with friends. FPS doesn’t interest me.
Absolutely not. You call me a troll and then call me rude? Getting bashed for not knowing a FPS game then getting bashed for it is really something. Check my first post, it was positive despite not knowing the reference.
If you don’t expect there to be frustration when franchises like Bullfrog got swallowed and killed and folk don’t want to play the only types of genres being pushed?
RTS, survival or factory games are very different. I get that AAA went nuts on FPS and it made money, but it doesn’t mean it is all of gaming. Fortunately indie games companies are killing it right now.
To each their own! The story and design of HL2 still holds up for me, but at it’s core the mechanics are indeed FPS. If that’s a no-go, it’s unfortunate, but understandable.
It’s a parody of Dr. Breen’s “Welcome to City 17” speech from the start of Half-Life 2. If you’ve never played Half-Life 2, then it’s a very, very, very strong recommend from me.
The joke has probably gone over my head, but great to see.

This is the intro to Half-Life 2, but the original and Black Mesa are great games as well.

I hate FPS games. They’re probably my least favorite genre. I really enjoyed HL2.
Although, I was playing through the series to get ready for Alyx, so that may have colored my perception.
My brother in Christ you are talking about games that came out over twenty years ago.
Yes, and since then there has not been one FPS that has interested me, so why would I know the intricate details of them?
Must suck to be you I guess.
Not at all. Shooting things with guns repeatedly is somewhat boring to me.
You are a rare person, who does’nt like a hood FPS shooter?
If you haven’t played half life 2 you should stop what you’re doing right now and do that.
Not a fan of AAA and don’t like FPS. Played 20 mins of Halo and it wasn’t for me.
Edit: wrong game, still point stands.
Halo is a totally different game though…
You don’t get a gun and shoot people?
Mostly no. And anyways that’s the same as saying that all sports that include a roughly sphere shaped prop are the same.
Hey if yous got a problem with sports ball, yous got a problem with me!
Your balls disappoint me.
Mom?
My brother. They are no where near the same game. I understand not liking first person but halo and half life are not comparable past first person.
There’s a reason Valve can’t make a third and it’s because 2 can’t be topped.
My mistake. Still FPS? Still get gun, shoot folk?
Haha this must be a troll gotcha 😂
No. You do realise there is lots of gaming genres? I understand it isn’t obvious if you have been gaming 10 years and only play AAA.
Yep a troll. A rude one at that.

Are we not free to like what we like?
Can we not have a different opinion…
Oh gosh, is this reddit again?
Half Life 2: A 2013 classic.
We’re 2024 already?
The point was more about AAA only seem to be pushing FPS nowadays.
I mean if you want to simplify those two, lets go a step further: Its no different from the games you actually like to play: click, see flashy lights!

Rarely. Most of the time you have some sci-fi anti-gravity contraption to throw objects at alien monsters.
