So before I start this, I need to remind you that people have opinions and you need to respect them.

So one diddly happy day at school, I saw some popular games on steam were on sale. So I bought the whole Half-Life series :]

LITTLE DID I KNOW I MADE THE WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE. JK

So I played HL1 just so I can then play HL2. Because the "half life 3" joke (which is so funny btw HAHAHAHAKILLMEHAHAHA) made me want to see what the fuss was all about. I played Counter Strike in the past, so I knew what to expect for graphics, sound, and some gameplay. I must say the game was....decent, at best. But then...half life 2 came.....and....it changed my life forever.

Before we continue I must say, I also bought the half life games thinking I'd enjoy them (even though I never played them) because L4D, Portal and TF2 are games made by the same company that I enjoyed.
However I was OH SO WRONG.

The beginning, where you don't fight anything is really good. Amazing landscapes, that's something this game did really good (especially at the end of the game at the citadel, that blew me away). Then I got a gun.....and I could feel my fun being drained until the last drop. What I thought would be hours of fun in the hl world turned it to painful hours through which I went just to finish the god damn game. The combat is so BORING and ANNOYING. The guns are so ducking weak, I waste a whole clip on a single enemy WHILE THE COMBINE PIECES OF SHIT CAN KILL ME IN A SECOND AND WHAT THE FUSDBKGVHJHV. Sorry, but the combat, being 80% of the game...is SO...GOD DAMN ANNYOING.

Music and graphics are nice though

After I finished hl2, still being amazed at the visuals valve succeeded in creating, I started up HL2 ep 1. It felt like half life 2, just shorter and more annoying. Now I'm at episode 2, and I don't think I'll finish it any time soon. I don't give a shit about half life 3, and after seeing how the brainwashed fanboys reacted after some people expressed dissapointment after playing the game, I've come to the conclusion HL2 was good for it's time, but by today's standards it's...quite shitty...

Or not, maybe it was shitty all along I played games older and younger than Half Life that I enjoyed from beginning to the very end. That's my opinion though.

Waddya guys say? Am I right, wrong or deserve to be executed for not liking "the best game of all time"?
