or just talk about the games in general. Is Black Mesa better than the original Half-Life? What is the best Half-Life game? Why are the games still so good? How about the post-soviet setting? How about how cool it is that most of the main enemies are cops and troops?

    Im old. Got HL1 on a CD ROM IIRC. Amazed the first time I saw a bullet hole in a wall behind where I had shot. That was so revolutionary!

    When HL2 came out it was one of the first games I bought on steam. Took the day off work. The dystopian beginning, the cop telling you to ‘pick it up’ as he knocks the can off the garbage. Just so ground breaking. Terrifying. Don’t even get me started on ravenholm lol.

    When Alyx came out, again day off work and again a total light year ahead of all video games in terms of content and interaction. The only thing missing is Alyx 2 goddamnit. Gabe I know you’re on lemmy, throw us a bone!
