Poll: Is it too late to jump on the Half-Life Train?

[Jaeke]

We talking about the same Metroid Prime? The Gamecube 2003 one?

Yup, but go back fifteen years and I was playing Metroid in 2D, you can still buy new consoles that will play Prime, ergo it's still the new one!*


*Other M? We don't talk about Other M

[sub]damn right we don't[/sub]


I love the 2D metroids. Fusion>Super Metroid>All.

Never got into the other Metroid Primes though, I only liked the first one.

The original, Maybe. Half Life 2 onwards, has an asthetic that has aged well to me persoanlly.

Some of my most memorable and nostalgiac experiences in my gaming as a young child have been in the FPS genre, Halo, 007, Metroid Prime, and even once long ago I tried out Half Life but I got bored just when you got out of the sewers in the first level.

It's been YEARS now since I tried Half-Life and after years and years of always having a view of Half-Life as the Ark of the Covenant for a lot of gamers (though I've never been a big fan of Valve or their products) my interest has sparked again but I'm torn a bit because, well its been a decade since Half-Life and about 5 years since the latest game.

But to the players of Half-Life, is it too late? is it good at all? can I still find enjoyment in these games?

I hope so...

Are you crazy? Why would it be too late? Play the bloody games.

As in too late to appreciate their consideration into the game industry because of their late age, like can I still find enjoyment in it that can't be sated by more recent games.
