City 17 was the first game world to "show" its story. The fear of the general populace, the desolation of the city-centers, the propaganda, graffiti etc...

The story itself, when you write it on paper is pretty thin, but the way that it was experienced was revolutionary at the time. It is easy to forget because pretty much every single player game since then has done this but when hl2 came out they were pushing the limits of GRAPHICZ to be able to experience games like a movie.

it still does it quite a lot better then any other games

Take the story for what you want, that's an opinion matter. If you can't find the story, then you're not playing the game correctly

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




compelling

i have an hour lunch break at work today SO EXPECT A MOTHER FUCKING PARAGRAPH AROUND 2 MOTHER FUCKER

Name another FPS with that going for it, a completely fleshed out world presented in only 1 game.

Mass Effect.
The galaxy is fully fleshed out in one game, all the races, planets, systems, you name it, all fleshed out in one game.

Limiting it to FPS only is stupid.
There's are TONS of games with fully fleshed out worlds in a single game, who gives a shit whether it's first or third person?

That's not saying much though, that's an unfair fight.
That's like putting someone like you or me into a game of little league.
