This game fucking sucks ass three hours in on hard
>dood what if humanoid enemies but they take entire clips your weapons to kill one guy
that plus the stupid fucking warehouse with invisible snipers and shit, it's not fun it's just lame

It's also made by known scammers who commit false advertising and fraud.

Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.

I love Half-Life overall, but man, the enemies are really spongy and give absolutely no fucking feedback they are taking damage.

>>719842026
you are a mentally ill spammer who pretends things like artifact have a fanbase

>>719841743 (OP)
the snipers aren't invisible

>>719842178
you know what I mean. And yes, I know how to play around them. I lay traps, use the explosives, throw my little bug guys out, etc. I even try to use the bug gun on those fucks, it's still too hard. I know i'm never supposed to say that but it's just too hard and tedious as fuck. At least on hard mode. not fun to play

>>719841743 (OP)
I didn't grow up with hl1 or hl2, so I can safely write-off hl1 fans as suffering from nostalgia delusions.

hl1 aged like piss that is OK. hl2 aged a lot more gracefully and is still fun to play.

>>719842369
I didn't grow up with it either and I can safely say it really didn't. I even played blue shift and opposing force and enjoyed them

>>719841743 (OP)
>three hours in
the game takes that long to finish while playing slowly, what are you doing

>>719841743 (OP)
Agreed. Also, Alien Grunts spawning right in front/behind/around you in later levels. Fucking infuriating.

Blue Shift and Opposing Force are unironically miles ahead. so much better. When I played them I got the feeling that Half-Life 2 actually followed in their footsteps and not in Half-Life 1's.

playing on hard and not using quicksaves, mr disingenuous. also average playtime is like 12 hours, I don't even know where i'm at. I'm at forget the freeman or something

A rare case where the remake is totally worth it and can fully replace the original.

>inb4 autists start sperging out because the gem that is the remade Xen chapter is nothing like the original (which was fucking garbage)

>>719842042
Yes they do wtf lmfao? They make noises and they run away. Grunts grab their arms and run away and scream medic. Vorts run away when low HP. Even bullsquids do. There's a significant amount of blood when you shoot something.
You zoo-poos are something else

>not using quicksaves
Even in 1998 we were using quicksaves wtf asshat are you doing

Ur just a fag who isnt winning like Gordon OP

First, "Hard" just buffs enemy damage and hp. Which is shit.
But the starter glock can one tap anything with a "head" hitbox. I actually played a glock only run on Hard up until running out of pistol ammo on the giant nutsack boss. Skill issue.

this nigga looks like he bang with them 7 gram xen rocks

>just cheat
you didn't beat the game lol. imagine being smug about beating a game in three hours and you just cheated

>>719844276
Oh
I get it.
You're some kind of miserable CUNT.

>>719844336
You're a goalpost moving bitch

>>719841743 (OP)
Just dont play on hard. I'm probably the most guilty of picking hardest difficulty straight away in games but it really is just worthless if enemies just become spongier and nothing else. You're not gonna get any gamer cred from half life of all things

>>719843974
no shit, i haven't noticed til now that gordon looks like charlie sheen

You'll never beat Smod Redux at maximum difficulty at this rate. Now that's fun.

>>719843889
>they run away after so much damage or call medic
That’s not direct hit feedback. Look at something like Halo. Elite’s shields flare, grunts stagger, flail hit limbs, etc. There’s clear visual queues that you are inflicting damage.
Half-Life is good but it’s okay to criticize certain elements.

>>719842042
True. They're addressing it in HLA though with the Combine soldiers flinching and panicking when shot.

>>719842042
Of-course they give it. It's called boolet haha

Just play Black Mesa nigga, I think HL1 is good and not even a hard game but obviously the game is from a different era.

I'm in my 30's and I just recently played both games for the first time along with the DLC's. I loved them both but I fellt HL2 has dated just a bit. Half-Life 1 on the other hand I just thought was a ride, and had a blast all the way through. It wasn't trying to be as smart or game-changing, just an upgrage from other shooters at the time. I'll say Half-Life 1 is my favorite of the two

>>719847101
Bullet sponges are an artificial way to make something “hard”

>>719841743 (OP)
Get good, Halo faggot

>be me
>get a new laptop but no mouse
>immediately install half life
>choose hard mode
>finished the game in three days
