man it sucks these days being a fan of something because someone might come around and make you feel bad for enjoying it but i might as well do that to others so id get a strange sense of righteous with me and the world the world being this platform and me being this online alias that ive created
this forum is for any popular or unpopular hot take that u feel like sharing such as good game is bad or bad game is good
this can be anything to very specific mechanics or characters or something more broad like representation or something like that
also before reading or posting on here note that SUBJECTIVITY IS IMPLIED so no "this is just ur opinion posts" because i know that AND no "this is just my opinion" posts because we all know that. I want ur cold hard opinions not ur warm soft facts
as an example ill start by saying that -ahem-
Half life 2 isn't the greatest game ever actually.
My small list of reasons as to why:
1. the level design is dogy at parts, at the start of the game its nice and fun playing with the strengths of the combine AI but in the middle to the end of the game some areas turn into monster rooms or one stand scenarios that makes the combine look dumb
2. the "cutscenes" are kinda annoying. Half Life 2 is often praised for "not having cutscenes" and for not taking control from the player and while one of them is true the former is just an illusion. There are cutscenes and i dont mean the starting and ending one i mean in between chapters where ur stuck in a room waiting for everyone to shut the fuck up and give u what u need for u to move on. Its not that bad but it just pisses me off for some reasons
3. Highway 17 sucks
4. i want more chapters like
