[b]the point that you should all understand is that just because you like something, doesn't mean that it is good.[/b]
I personally enjoy Half Life, and find it quite fun to play. Does this make it a good game? No.

Is Transformers 2 a good movie because my 12 year old brother likes it? Is rubarb pie bad because I don't personally like it?
Does dog crap taste good if a homeless crazy person enjoys it?
is Half-life a good game just because you like it?
Let's see,
Level design? Sure, it's alright I guess, if you like on-rails shooters.
Story? Sure, it's fine if you like scripted setpieces that you have no control over, you never cause, and never do anything about.
Characters? Sure, if you like Mary-Sues with absolutely 0 flaws.
Gameplay? Sure, if you like fighting enemies that just stand still and shoot (or run up to you as fast as they can in Half Life 1).
Physics? If physics are the best part of your gae, then your game really frigging sucks.
TL;DR, Half-Life isn't actually good, and people just like to -blam!- because they're expected to like it. it's like high school all over again. (Also, if you're a college student, don't bother posting, because I know that you have nothing to contribute.)
