Half Life 2 world and atmosphere have yet to be unmatched in an FPS

also, Dragon Age 2 looks horrid, it looks like they dumbed down the world and story from an already pretty bad game.

Legends of the Hidden Temple
A review clocked the main quest at 12-15 hours, doubling if you " do everything the game has to offer"

My Dragon age Origins play through lasted about 40 hours, not counting DLC.

Mass Effect 2 was a lot shorter than the original, too. Bioware is just making shorter games now, I guess? 15 hours is disappointing, though.

Also Jarate's opinion on anything is irrelevant because he's Jarate.

the world is way more alive and engaging then any other game ive ever played. The game doesn't just hand you the story, you have to search for it.

The world is incredibly well done, none of the characters feel fake, everything is logical. I can see why people may not like the game I guess, It's a fairly linear game which for some reason people despise, and the driving sequences could be annoying. But during the game I felt like i was in that spot, I was actually Gordon Freeman. Sure I could blast through spots of the game just because I could, or I could do what I want

But back to atmosphere and world

The world of Half Life 2 is incredible, it's easily one of the best worlds in gaming. Sure Halos world may be fairly cool, but the thing about that is that you needed books and movies to flesh it out very well. At best, Half Life 2's world was fleshed out a wee bit by a developers book, and even then not that much. The world and everything in it was presented in the first game. It's truly a wonderful world that you can see alive, you understand the way the people feel. You understand how everything works. Name another FPS with that going for it, a completely fleshed out world presented in only 1 game, and 1 that is as alive as Half Life 2.

The atmosphere I touched on earlier. The way the world worked around Gordon was incredible, the way the people acted around Gordon, the way the pacing and battles worked all were incredible. Hell, I'll just keep it simple, Name me a better FPS introduction then Half Life 2.

im sorry that you weren't able to see the story, like I said earlier, it's not shoved down your face, you have to look for it. Im guessing you just stormed through the game as fast as possible which is not the way to play it. You actually have to actively explore everything in the game. Listen to the conversations the people have. Look at the newspapers. I understood most of the story with just 1 playthrough and at that point I had never played Half Life 1.

so what is the story then?

because as far as i can tell it's this:
the combine take over the world in seven hours, shit is awful for X years. gordon shows up thanks to slenderman magic, and since he's the player character the revolution starts when he shows up. except i'm not entirely sure why, the revolution was done by an army of npcs. gordon really didn't do shit as far as i recall, admittedly it's been a while

anyway circumstances unfold in a manner where you end up at the propaganda broadcasting tower, you take down not-goebbels and cause some sort of space magic explosion. luckily you're saved by slenderman and some aliens

nothing happens in episode 1
the combine attempt to stop you from shooting a missile in episode 2, you succeed but some psychic bugs kill your black friend at the end oh dear
