Gaming Central says, "For those who don’t know, Half Life is a game franchise about a nuclear physicist on a quest to kill aliens by bashing their heads in with a crowbar. It's good stuff"
The most disappointing and infamous video game endings even sour the overall thoughts of a game. Most of these titles represent some of the finest entries in their respective series, marred by an ending we can't quite forgive.
There is no game called Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2, but Rebirth had a great ending imo. Felt robbed by the ending at first, but the more I've seen it and during my 3rd playthrough, I started to understand and realize a lot more that make me appreciate the ending.
I was enjoying FFVII Remake, even though those whispers throughout the game were annoying. But the ending was so bad that I don't even want to play Rebirth. On top of that, from what I saw on reviews, the ending of Rebirth is even worse.
Also, I'm glad to see Zero Time Dilemma being recognized as the trainwreck it is. After the amazing two first games (especially the near perfect second one), the low quality of the trilogy end is baffling. The new characters are bad, the old characters don't feel like themselves, a surprise "alien technology" pops out of nowhere, the big twist was like "eh?", and it doesn't really finish the story nor explains the loose threads from the second game.
As part of the title’s 25th anniversary, that long-established glitch has now been resolved.
Been replaying this on my steam deck now that it's been updated with modern controls and is now fully verified. Have to say I'm surprised to see how well it holds up. Was a great game in 1998 and it's still a great game 25 years on.
The textures in Half-Life were seemingly only produced by a single person, as confirmed in a new in-depth documentary about the game.
"It’s one of the few games that still stands up both visually and gameplay wise, even today"
Nope, it doesn't, I've played it one year ago and couldn't continue after 4 hours, too many loading screens cause of the bad old engine, graphics is OK but not eye candy for sure, gameplay is too basic and limited, and finally the camera for some reason makes me fell sick after 1 hour.
So I would say HL2 after 10 years is an outdated game.
