I know you and I briefly discussed Half Life in the past.
I kinda feel like I missed out on it, even though I could obviously play it right now if I wanted to. It’s such an iconic series but I think would’ve had to play it a long time ago to get the real experience and impact from it. I assume I’ll get neither the initial sense of awe nor the feeling of nostalgia from playing it.
I believe you when you say it holds up, but I just think it’ll be a lesser experience for someone new even in spite of that. It’s a shame.
What you can still get from it is high blood pressure, from swinging a crowbar at flying alien crabs or trying to get on and then climb down a ladder. I still haven't finished more than half of the first one, but despite that, I love it. And passionately hate it.
