People make fun of Hunt Down the Freeman (and rightfully so) but it's unironically the best written and most honest Half Life game. You see what happens when you try and tell a real story in such a generic setting like the Half Life universe? It fucking sucks.
It's shocking how much better Deus Ex is in the way it tells its story, whether directly (cutscenes) or indirectly (emails), because they're not FUCKING SCARED OF TELLING A FUCKING STORY. Deus Ex doesn't hide what's going on behind vague mysteries that GO NOWHERE
>B-B-BUT THEY'RE DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF MY ARBITRARY GENRE TAGS!!1
Not an argument. I'll replay Deus Ex to the day I die and I haven't even unlocked the achievements in HL2 when they added them to Steam because I thought it was mid then and it's probably still mid now.
