Now we know many gaming sites have re-iterated and argued this point over and over again - that the story concepts and the driving of the story are just as important as the quality of the visuals. But given Ars Technica's technical nature and prowess over technology, it's amazing they've been able to put their point across so vividly with a game everyone could relate to. |

See me being a huge fan of Half-Life. Which is still one of the best FPS I have played to date. Was really disapointed in Half-Life2. Alot of friends agree when people say there is alot of story and plot to Hl2 as soon as you get off. Im one of the many who look back at the game and recall saying "WTF" while running and shooting combine.
HL2 had no story what so ever. Baisicly your running around trying to get to the tower while helping the resistance. Plot has been done many of times and has been in countless movies. Waiting for it for Years was a disapointment. EP one and such is not worth it either.
Storyline is important. Everyone seems so worked up on graphics now of days but really. Who will want to play a sequel to a game that had no story but had a flashy new engine. Oh wait tons of people.

It's odd to me that you guys don't think Half Life 2 had any story to it. I'm also a huge fan of Half Life, but Half Life 2 blew me away and I was so deeply sucked into Gordon's world, I've yet to experience that type of feeling in any other game since. I mean it wasn't just the dialogue that moved the story along, the atmosphere helped immensely.
I guess for me Half Life 2 was a perfect blend of graphics and story.
