    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.

          Mostly no. And anyways that’s the same as saying that all sports that include a roughly sphere shaped prop are the same.

      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.

            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.

                We’re 2024 already?

                The point was more about AAA only seem to be pushing FPS nowadays.

                  So we are. That kind of makes the 10 year statement a little more silly, no?

                  Half Life 2 is just shy of being 20 years old.

                  Anyways, I enjoyed how old you made me feel with this comment 😅

                    How am I supposed to know that if I don’t follow the genre? Someone said 2013, I trusted that information.

                    “I don’t follow FPS” “As if you didn’t know this FPS trivia”

                    People who like to shoot polygons repeatedly are a little tetchy.

                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?

                Are we not free to like what we like?

                Can we not have a different opinion…

                Oh gosh, is this reddit again?

                  Ok troll, calm down or maybe follow your own words and go back to Reddit. Never did I bash you for not knowing the game, I bashed you for comparing it to halo and then subsequently saying all fps are the same.

                  We can have different opinions you’re the one attempting to attack me bud. All I am telling you is halo and half-life shouldn’t be compared past the fact that they are played in first person. Which is what I said in my first comment.

                  And yes you are fucking rude as shit assuming a bunch of bullshit. Condescending little troll baby

                    A troll is someone that disagrees with you? You’ve been in echo chambers too long, buddy.

                    For people that don’t like FPS won’t see differences, those that love it, they all seem different… Can you not accept that people won’t like your favourite games? Not very tolerant, no?!

                    I didn’t attack you, I attacked the gaming industry and the the view that everyone should know FPS. You’re a little defensive.

                    Swearing and insulting me. If only you could look in the mirror. You’re the rudest person I’ve come across here yet. Congratulations.

          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!

            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.

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

      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.
