Does anyone think that Half-Life 2 is NOT the best game on PC?

Wow.....What a response i'm suprised no one has said Crysis yet and i forgot to add Evil Genius i loved that game so much i brought it twice then the CD got scrached again... Rubixcuba

Crysis was incredibly overrated. It didn't sell nearly as well as it should have. People just use it as a benchmark. All that hype, and when it came out, the response was really just an overwhelming "eh".

I do not believe Half-Life 2 is one of the best. Its partly because I'm not a big shooter fan. I'll play them from time to time but rarely keep them. The other reason for my not liking Half-Life 2 is due to the release and set-up.

Most critics and players won't agree with this but I firmly believe the installation and set-up of PC games should be part of review. If its broken, buggy, confusing, or hard to navigate it will affect the enjoyment of the game. Half-Life 2's release and set-up are worst in the history of video games. The lag was horrible and the willing of gamers and critics to thank Valve for this just pissed me off. It doesn't help any that Vavle uses a copy protection far stricter than anyone else. How can people get all worked up over activating Mass Effect but be ok with the mandatory third party program, activation, and download requirements that Valve subjects people too?

Sorry that went on too long. To answer the thread poster Half-Life 2 doesn't make my 100. Games like The Longest Journey, Planescape: Tourment, Deus Ex, Thief, and Unreal Tournament are some of my favorites.

Half-Life 2 was kind of boring I thought.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go hide somewhere.

My Top 10 PC games:

1. DOOM II: Hell on Earth
2. HL2: Episodes 1 and 2
3. Ultimate DOOM
4. Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn
5. Planescape: Torment
6. Half-Life 2
7. Max Payne
8. Heroes of Might and Magic III
9. Starcraft / Brood Wars
10. Half-Life

The original Half-Life was, at one time , higher on my list, but its just not nearly as playable anymore, at least for me.

This is PC games only, otherwise Ocarina of Time, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil 4, and Eternal Darkness would be in there.

I like the NOLF games better than HL2. I thought HL2 wasnt that good really...well not as good as its made out to be. Same with CoD4=) Anyway HL2 i thought was good. Ep1 was rather week and sometimes annoying...too dark, too many zombies. Ep2 on the other hand was the best thing with HL2 in the name. Even the driving sections were fun.rzepak

Matter of perspective....to me, that ramped up the tension in the game, especially with those "Zombines". Several major intense battles in Episode 1. I just wished it wasn't so doggone short.
