from personal experience they are different games, i love mass effect 1 and 2 to death, but i fell asleep playing half life 1 and 2 multiple times, i just could not get into itblalien said:
so try it out if you wish, its all personal opinion beween these games.
To be fair, I get Aby_Z. You seemed (to me at least) to be deliberately obtuse here. If that's not the case, I apologize, but that's how you were coming off to me.chozo_hybrid said:
To tackle the OP, I'll echo what many here have said: Both are great games. But apples/oranges, it depends on your tastes as a whole. Liking Mass Effect is no guarantee that you'll like Half Life, or vice-versa. While Mass Effect is my favorite of the two (being an avid fan of RPGs), I do recommend Half Life whole heartedly.
I guess I can see how it might come off that way, but telling someone to get out like that person did was just rude.P.Tsunami said:
I also did give example and reason for my argument *shrugs* I played fair. I gave reason and explanation to what I said each time, and when he/she couldn't think of anything else to say he/she was rude to me as well.
Plus, to someone not too familiar with games, the titles might seem similar.
There really is no comparison. Personally, Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect are my favorite games of all time. Half Life is definitely up there as well. But they are certainly very different.
Umm, I have no idea.
Try it out, though, it's a really well-made title. But so is Cod and Halo that you don't like.
As for the question, it really translates to me into "If I like GTA IV, would I enjoy Bad Company 2?". I have no idea.

Well then would this be a bad time to say I can't find a what is so great about that game besides the grav gun, and even that was useless until the end. I fail to see why that game has such a huge following except for the fact that Valve made it, I'm not saying it's bad, just mediocre. And Citizen Kane was also incredibly boring.elricik said:
I think the good storytelling of the Half Life franchise and the memorable characters, each one of the main ones is memorable really, are a huge part as to why it is so popular. Even Mass Effect only really has kept Shepard as a truly memorable character in the series. The other would probably be Garrus, to a lesser extent Tali as well. They are in both games, and Garrus is really popular because hes just cool. Tali has more of a dislike to her. But I would say, Freeman is memorable as Shepard is, but Alyx is just plain more memorable than Garrus. She's also pretty hot >.>
Deus Ex, which has Dialogue trees and RPG elements... I only rented Half Life 2 but I dont' see anything really in common with Mass Effect in it meanwhile Deus Ex has at least has plenty of RPG elements for a FPS.blalien said:
You would like Half-Life regardless of your opinion on Mass Effect (my friend backs me up on this).
For me it was the fact, that I had to use the keyboard to control the buggy/mudskipper/ep2 car. I don't think that a keyboard is a good input device in this specific case. At least for me.RAKtheUndead said:
Seconded, get out.Aby_Z said:
OP: Half-life is easily one of the more intelligent FPS games available, so go go! Buy it!
