What makes Half-Life good?
[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.
I emplore you to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-3gcVICiCs]watch this video before posting.[/url]
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.)

Ahhhh, such irony behind this man's videofied opinion. He presents weak and almost irrelevant arguments and most of the time he relies on the presentation of his words and the mockery of the game. He seriously has no clue, and you're down even a bigger hole, OP. I understand that it's cool and trendy to be that one guy that comes up and says "Oh hey, yeah, your fan-favorite game? Well, you see, it's not that good", and most of the time it does have valid points. But you're attacking Half-Life for all the wrong reasons, and for that, you lose all potential discussion with somebody who actually understands the words and concepts that come out of his mouth. Amateurs and fanatics. I appreciate the enthusiasm in videogame topics, but this is embarrassing and childish. Simply coating it with smart words does not make it a strong or valid point. Bah!
