I've never played Half-Life in my half-life (I'm almost 40)
Yo.
Never played Half-Life before, which feels kinda wild coming from a time when it was massive and everyone was playing it and bumming it. Anyways, finally got a copy and after recently spending time in PS5ville playing through RE9 and Fatal Frame 2 Remake, I'm back on the PS2 playing this game.
It's weird coming to a classic game with no real context. Not only did I never play Half-Life back in the day, I also have no idea like... what it's about. The story, etc. So it's very fresh to me. Reminds me of when I'd never listened to The Beatles before like five years ago when I was like "I'm gonna check out them Beatles...". Not only had I not listened to them (outside of hearing the ubiquitous tracks dotted about in life), I knew nothing about them, or the context of their albums, songs, etc. This is that, but for a long-revered game.
My initial take: Fuck, and these scientists say some funny shit.
Bonis Take: The save system for PS2 fuckinf sucks. I've played this opening section three times because there's a quick save in the menu, but then a like big save in the sub-menu you gotta do to REALLY save. Truly munted. Wish me luck.
PS2 Half-Life. Any good?
