Why it's just like playing any other FPS, except every now and then you have to drive the worst car ever.elricik said:
If I liked Mass Effect, would I like Half-Life?

Hardly, this topic is fucked up on its' own anyway.chozo_hybrid said:
In Mario, you kill enemies by jumping on them and kill turtles and mushrooms in a stylized land, while in PoP you side scroll as a fairly realistic looking chap in a dark dungeon and die half the time. Also, you have only an hour to beat the entire game. They're completely different games and liking one will not mean you like the other.
They're so vastly different that I don't see how liking mass effect is relevant to liking Half-life.
What are some other games you like?

Anywho, to answer the OP, they are both very different games in their gameplay - HL2 has much simpler combat mechanics, but they have a good physics engine and tend to use it inventively. Also, HL2 has a wholly linear story without any form of side quests. And the Half Life series has a more...mysterious form of story telling that leaves alot more mysteries for you to debate over
.That said, I like both, and I definitely think you'll get your money's worth from that pack you mentioned.
The Half Life (1) games are somewhat hard to play these days as the graphics are almost eye-hurtingly bad by todays standards, but if you can tolerate them, you'll also find alot of joy their too, I suspect.
Oh, quick note - you do not have to have played Half Life 1 before Half Life 2. Half Life 2 does take place some time after Half Life 1, but its not required to understand HL2. If you really need to, there's probably a summary of HL1's plot on the internet somewhere.
They control in a very similar way and the Mario stages have a time limit, they are side scrolling platformers.Aby_Z said:
As the others have said, the two games are very different to one another, but if you like creative shooters, Half-Life is a good pick. While nowhere near as visually stunning as the two MEs, Half-life is very much an enjoyable game. Just don't bash it for it's dated graphics.
Also, watch for the Garg

The only thing they have in common is that you shoot people at times. That's it!
Do you like First Person Shooters? Yes? Half Life is worth your while. If you don't; move along.

Actually Half Life is a lot more similar to Halo and CoD games, it's all FPS with scripted events.
Only difference is Half Life is a lot more nerdier FPS with a 'The Outer Limits' vibe where as Halo/MW are more for the fratboy douchebag variety....joking...lol

Well as you can see from my avatar I love Half-Life
Mass Effect and Half-life are both COMPLETELY different games though. I did love Mass Effect 2 a lot though, if that helps you in any way.
I say, buy the complete pack for sure, you won't regret it.

This is sort of like asking, "I like Castlevania; would I like Final Fantasy?"blalien said:
Yeah, get Half-Life.
