I very much enjoy every game in the series, I can't say its the best game ever or at least my favorite game....because i don't have one. Almost ever game I have is on equal grounds with the rest because they are all different....so its hard to pick one when they are not the same.
I like Half-Life 2.
And I would prefer to have a cat, on account of them ruling the planet for the past 9500 years (at least
). And because they're so cute and fluffy!

when it's a choice between actual dog and actual cat, i'd say dog. id it's a choice between doglike and catlike, like wolf and tiger, then i'd pick cat. i'm more of a cat person, but i don't want mr fluffykins getting his fur all red ans sticky
also, HL2 rocks, and i don't even know why. i guess i love the story, the subtle touches, the protagonist, the gameplay and the half-life universe as a whole

ok, so i do know why i think it rocks

I dislike Half-life simply because it's a FPS, I do not like them at all, so therefore I didn't even bother with HL.
As for the pet thing I am going with the dog

I thought it was fun and can see how the series was ground-breaking for its time. Also: unless it's a big cat, I'd say dog. If you're going to have a sidekick, it needs to be able to actually help you, not clean itself while you're being brutally murdered.
It's alright, but it is MASSIVELY overrated, especially on these forums. You'd think Valve had brought about the second coming of Christ with this game or something. It's kinda ridiculous honestly.
Simply for the sake of bumpage(that's all this thread is for really), no. Disliking a game does not make it bad. It makes it a game that isn't in your tastes. As far as technical design it's very well-executed and people like it, so that qualifies it as "good" by industry standards. People tell me coffee is good, but I hate the stuff. Coffee is loved world-wide and even has an art of making very good cups of the stuff. But I do not like it. That does not make coffee bad, simply something I don't care for. No game can please everyone, it just has to please enough of them. And I'd say it beat that quota and kept going. And going. And going.Digikid said:
Yeah I like it, its good, not as good as the original but its a pretty worthy sequel. Plus of course it was the flagship of the source engine which has proved itself over the years, and it deserves brownie points for not not going full retard (by which of course I mean not pandering to the mainstream console audience). Games which don't just follow the herd should be respected at least.
Personally... no, I don't really care for Half-Life 2. I didn't get all that far in the game (the only aliens I recall killing were the ceiling barnicles), but the game just never clicked with me.
On the same token, however, the original Half-Life is one of my favorite games ever, and one of the few FPS games that I actually enjoy.
For a long time, I wasn't quite sure why I didn't like Half-Life 2, but now I think I understand why. It's the tone. Half-Life was a very lonely game. After some brief conversations with scientists at the very beginning of the game, you were basically alone for the entire thing. I really liked that.
But in Half-Life 2 (at least as far as I got), you never REALLY felt that alone. People were everywhere, everything took place outdoors, all the loneliness and claustrophobia was gone.
I guess I just found the second one lacking the atmosphere that enchanted me so much in the first.

Half Life 2 fully failed to grasp my attention. I played it at release and have tried again a few times since. I just didn't enjoy it. and a dog.
I played through it, it entertained me for a bit.
I don't really hold it as my favorite game evar! Though. It is not deserving of the phrase it receives. Its full of cliches and to be honest, it was kind of boring.
Also, way to introduce Barney like we knew him. He totally made an appearance in the first game!
