Yeah, just like how people who produce guns rarely ever kill anyone with them. And how despite the fact blacksmiths worked by producing swords, they did not use them unless they were drafted or forced to defend their home. No idea what's weird here

DRVZZZZZZZZZHHHHHWWWWW
Oh my God! What are you doing!?

>>720030479
How many people who dedicated their lives to producing guns would be unwilling to shoot someone in self defense in the situation where there are hundreds of monsters and hostile soldiers running around?

out of all the things you could nitpick this game for, you chose this

So which of the half life arsenal can I stick my dick in?

Do you think any of the scientists responsible for poison gas in WWI, or the flamethrower, or napalm, or atomic weapons really thought about the actual human beings that would be killed with their weapons?

Not while they made them, usually, with the exception of atomic weapons due to just how insanely overpowered and destructive they ended up being in practice.

>>720033608
Look up Sakharov.

>>720033608
Of course they did. They looked at their weaponry and said "Wow! With this a single soldier could take out an entire village in under 5 minutes! Isn't that amazing?"
However, back then, Asians weren't seen as human beings, but subhumans. They had no problem with their weapons killing millions of them especially if it saved one American/European's life.

>>720030685
People with a moral compass and belief in God. Your post reeks of nihilism and atheism.

>>720034029
Atheism is not predisposed toward any moral outcomes, ignoramus.

>>720033507
"Well... I wouldn't exactly call them people"

>>720033949
So this is what the skink from Abiotic Factor is a reference to.

>>720033949
What's that? In the original Half-Life there was that reddish black thing that fired small homing projectiles.

>>720030685
Making weapons and using them in a combat situation are different things entirely
Like, I don't think that the people who are paid to build jet planes would actually be as good at flying a jet as an actual pilot trained for the task

Haven't played but even the spore attack looks exactly the same.

That's a Spore Launcher from Half-Life: Opposing Force. Not part of the canon, yeah.

If we kept that mindset, the world would look so much different right now.

>Not part of the canon, yeah.

Lol, shut the fuck up zoomer

Opposing Force was the official expansion of the first game, doesn't matter what nu-valve says 20 years later

>>720036006
Nah.

>>720036140
Based. Hunt Down The Freeman is also canon.

>>720030685
I see you've never met an engineer. They're huge pussies (and either lanky or fat) who prefer to talk out their problems because being locked to a desk for 120 hours a week at LockRatheGenBAE makes you too tired to work out, get jacked, and raise Test (attributes more likely to coincide/contribute with/to successfully defending yourself) and instead spend their time obsessing about trains or model airplanes (or games). Unless, of course, the engineer's particular subculture emphasizes traditionally masculine activities (although these are typically mutually exclusive with academic success, at least in countries that matter, because modern society is centered around individual exceptionalism and specialization due to oversaturated markets directly caused by globalism)

>>720036230
Nah nothing. It's simply that the arbitrary subhuman designation has been relegated to the majority of normal people, i.e. people like you.

>>720034029
>you should just let people hurt and kill you because that's the good thing to do!
Not biblically accurate. Also extremely immoral and evil.

>>720036140
It only matters in that most of the events of the game and its characters have basically disappeared from the rest of the series.

why is HL2's arsenal so shit? I hope they give us more weapons in 3

>>720038051
The development for the game was scuffed with the devs swapping stuff all the time without much planning and the devs thought the gravity gun was fun enough to offset all the other weapons.

>>720037464
I love these goofballs like you wouldn't believe

>>720037464
Just cut off the beak and teeth and you've got yourself a living onahole

Isn't it insane how normalized violence is? We go as far as to allow people who make, order, use bombs and nukes and guns and torture devices to breathe in the same society as the rest of us do?
Meanwhile cartoon anime girls that look young will get you thrown in jail.

>>720034029
If the Christian God is real he wouldn't want his followers to be gay little faggot liberal pacifists that aren't willing to kill in self defense. Though I'm assuming this is just bait. I suppose it got me to reply so it worked.

Humans are a violent species, retard. Violence is apart of our nature.

Only in 3rd world shitholes like Africa, Middle East and the US.

Can you trust a weapon made by a man who has never used one to wage war or kill?

It kind of annoyed me during the interview between Oppenheimer and Truman, when Oppenheimer is exoressing remorse over the destruction in Japan and Truman says "I dropped the bomb, not you". But the dualogue frames it like Truman us mad Oppenheimer is trying to take the credit as opposed to Truman alleviating the responsibility Oppe feels.

The fucking kike and his kike compatriots knew exactly what they were doing of course, and his only regret was that Japs got bombed instead of Germans. Then he prepared and carefully rehearsed the sobby "I'm sowwy" speech he is known for.

nta

what the fuck does abiotic factory have in common with half life 1?
that its set in a facility and you are scientists??? WOAH literally a spiritual successor to hl1

I bought it cus it said its like half life, and some friends were playing it
ITS NOT

and apparently there were levels n shit, so you cant even join your friends, you are better of starting a new server so you all start from the same point
when the update dropped I messaged this dude telling him to invite me, he was like "explain to me how we will play together when you arent leveled up" or something like that, as if I am a retard
the little twink that works at a library would get his spine rearranged if he said that to me irl, and he knows it, the little queer

Half life 3 next week are u hyped

>>720042156
you are scientists in a facility that fucks around with scifi bullshit, like portals to other dimensions
also your friend is either retarded or a faggot, you should've been able to hop right in without any skill levels and play just fine. the only actual issue you might've had would be a lack of materials for equipment for you, in which case you could just go and get some together like a friend would do
game is fun don't blind yourself with hatred because of a bad experience with a retard however I will say the bodily needs bullshit is gay as fuck and only serves to pad the game out

>>720042156
>what the fuck does abiotic factory have in common with half life 1?

You are either being disingenuous or have actually not played the game. The game's entire aesthetic and plot is very obviously heavily inspired by Half-Life (and later SCP and Warhammer 40K). The exors are pretty much just vortigaunts. You need to be genuinely retarded to not see it.

>>720042963

>>720043107
>The game's entire aesthetic and plot is very obviously heavily inspired by Half-Life

the main characteristic of a game is how it plays, you know cus its a game, you are supposed to play it
so when you say game X is similar to game Y it means the gameplay is similar
not
>ur le scientist in both games
>ur in a place that has X happen to it, just like other game
>enemy X looks like enemy Y

>>720043525

>>720043462
Okay, so you are being disingenuous. Thanks for confirming.

>>720043262
No, that would be tel aviv, moscow, london, new york, and broward country florida.

>>720040617
What, is the weapon going to defect to the enemy? Are you retarded?

>>720043238
cooking is neat in a comfy way but I still see it as just hunger +x hydration +x and a buff.
i have this issue where my friend discovers a food item that is easy to farm for and gives good stats, and now that's all our freezer has in it, i'm sure that's common.

>>720043462
how about that enemies are silly bullet sponges throughout the game. just like half life 1 (until you get the tau cannon)
wow it's really fun mashing M1 with the hardlight saber for 10 seconds to kill one nigger
you're being stupid. both games are
>FPS
>about exploring big underground facilities and alien worlds
>occasionally solve a puzzle
>no cutscenes, everything happens with scripted events that you observe while walking around (just like half life 1 woah)
>relatively fast movement depending on what equipment you use, good variety in the way you can move around
what exactly are you trying to argue about half life 1 anyway, it's not exactly a complex game

>>720041431
Because it was a statement representing both views. Truman didn't build the bomb, but he dropped it. He was telling Oppenheimer to stfu, "I'll take all the credit, good and bad, so fuck off back to Los Alamos and get back to work"

The fact that Opposing Force and Blue Shift are on equal level with "Hunt down the freeman" is never not going to make me laugh.

>>720043462
I haven't played Abiotic Factor yet but I'm getting the impression that people are mistakenly saying it's "like Half-Life" just because it's got references or a vaguely similar aesthetic. They don't realize that there's countless other mods and spinoffs of Half-Life to provide a template for comparisons. Reminds me of how "roguelike" was misused by idiots for any game with permadeath, until "roguelite" kind of took off.

On the other hand it does say "Open World Survival Craft" on the store page of Abiotic Factor, which says it all. Newfags making these comparisons just don't know what they're talking about and this game is most likely of no particular interest to goldsrc fans.

>>720045656
>I haven't played Abiotic Factor yet but here's my opinion on Abiotic Factor

>>720042156
>reddit frog

>>720045656
Abiotic Factor is a survival crafting game heavily inspired by Half-Life 1. End of story.

>Hurr I'll read the first sentence and hit reply

>>720047206
Yeah exactly, this seems reasonable.

>>720034145
Huh. I never tried putting my skink back down inside my base. I should have done that when I wasn't using him.

>>720041019
it's barely half life, it's only related in the fact that there's "portals" and its in a "science facility with trams"

>>720047649
They occasionally produce blue shit, which you can pick up by spending plastic scrap and it's used in the tier 3 fertilize.

>>720047692
Gate is just Black Mesa but with SCP entities stored inside. The nerdlinger scientists look and sound like Kleiners. There's a military presence out to purge the scientists just like HECU. There's a football sized headcrab derivative (though disappointingly not a parasite this time). The main type of aliens fire charged energy just like a vortigaunt, and even stand with a similar hunch.

Nigger, it's HALF-LIFE but with survival crafting as its gimmick. Fuck off with this "BUH BUH BUT WHAT'S SO 'HAFF-LYF' BOUT DIS??!"

>>720048026
>they look and sound the same
they literally don't
it's a fucking early access survival crafting game with bodily needs
it doesn't play like half life, it doesn't sound like half life, it doesn't look like half life, you don't even platform the same as half life

>>720048168
>common retard can see the similarities
>SSR retard of 4chan can't

>>720048269
because it's literally just
>common grunt soldier in a science facility(nothing unique or special that only HL has done)
>common small critter that jumps around(it's not even a parasite like the post i was responding to said, just a generic alien who jumps at you)
quite literally the only thing i could see being somewhat half life is the aliens with energy beams and bioguns, but those aren't exclusive to half life

>>720048168
It's not early access, it released a month or two ago. Also, "having to shit" doesn't nullify everything else I listed.
>it doesn't play like half life,
true but it's still an FPS. The hook that separates it is you need to collect supplies to build your guns like a fucking NERD

>it doesn't sound like half life
The male scientists are a dead ringer for Kleiner, but if you mean Klaxxon Beat doesn't kick in, fine.

>it doesn't look like half life
The jabbering muppet mouths of the scientist models closely resemble how gldsrc did talking. And the character models themselves vaguely look like something out of 1998. Or maybe the HD pack from 2001. You're nitpicking to claim otherwise. Or getting hung up on minutia.

>>720036424
Jesus this dudes tough

>>720041254
When people say things like soulslike it is in reference to the gameplay not the aesthetics.
It makes no sense to call it half-like when it doesn't play anything like half-life.

>>720031495
The bots are getting lazy

>>720049540
This. Inventing a term "half-like" to describe a game that is just simple surface-level homage is retarded. We don't need a name for that, especially when this is like the first time that happened in 27 years.

besides being officially licensed by valve, besides marc laidlaw writing the nuke, judith in black mesa east describes teleporters a lot like rosenberg does in blue shift, both specifically mention a xen relay for coming back to earth without walking through xen. all 3 gearbox games are very probably canon
