Metacritic states"Half-Life 2 is the highest rated FPS of all time. Flawles

Great game, tons of nostalgia in it for me but by no means perfect. I could still play the game I'm sure and enjoy the heck out of it though.

[QUOTE="GazaAli"]I played the game back 2009 I think. Good game but absolutely nothing spectacular.cain006

You should've played it in 2004/05.

Half-Life 2 stands the test of time just as Metroid Prime does for console games. Great games can do that.

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] Playing Half-Life 2 in 2010 would be like playing Crysis for your first time now and judging it based on that. People playing these games out of context have little clue. AjaxNeron

Crysis was good but overrated.

Metroid Prime does. Half Life 2 ages horribly (implying it was ever good in the first place.)

I honestly think the vast majority of people who still think HL2 is good are blinded by nostalgia.

[QUOTE="cain006"]I played it in 2010. A good game will stand the test of time. Hell I played FEAR last year and it's probably my favorite single player fps and it came out 1 year after HL2. I think even Half Life would be better were it not for the horrible ending of the game.

Yes, Metroid Primeis one of the greatest ever made, not everyone agreed at first, but most seem to be won over. It is FAR better than Halo, which it inexplicably is compared with (since they were GC and XBox flagship titles).

I think Half-Life 2 is close, though I have always liked Prime better. 2 of the only games I've given perfect scores to, though I enjoyed the 2 Episodes of HL2 better than the original game.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"]You have to be kidding. One of the worst games I've ever played.ShadowsDemon

I've got a bunch of friends who don't like the Half-Life series because they find it too linear. o.o I respect your opinion, especially because you actually own the game, unlike them. :P

lol no.

It's a good game but after I finished it I really didn't have an urge to play it again.

HL2 is still a great game. I still play it from time to time. It's 8 years old, BTW.

Meh. I've spent more time in NOLF2, and UT3 than I did in Half-Life 2. It has some features and doesn't have other features. Calling it "the best" is meaningless.

Well I can say my self that I actually prefered FEAR1 to HL2 which was released like a year later.. But unlike FEAR.. HL2 was just a complete package with CSS.. Not to mention the endless slew of mods.

FEAR is much better than HL2 hands down.

Imo FEAR failed on what it promised to have. It came out in 2005 in the same month with Condemned: Criminal Origins and Call of Cthulhu and it was the least scary. Then the expansions (and later FEAR 2 and 3) came out and destroyed any hope for the series. Same thing happened with Far Cry 2 and Crysis 2.

HL1 and HL2 were both great games. But I am sure if HL3 is very bad everyone is going to forget about them.
