Skip to HL2?

[Hunter of Shadows]

Oookkkkaaayyyy...I'm not looking to turn this simple question thread into a discussion on the quality of Half Life games. You got your answer, I think we can move on now.

I've played 60% of the first Half-Life game and then I just get bored with it... I am just wondering if I will be missing any key elements before I go onto the new games.

It sounds like you don't get a lot of enjoyment out of straight up shooter games then

However, I'm going to say that I honestly think the elevating HL1 up onto a pedestal to be...mostly from nostalgia, I'm not saying it's a bad game, it was amazing when it came out but guys really, is it as great as you guys say it is?

No, it isn't

I would say play through HL1 if you can, but skip to HL2 if you can't, which is easily a far more engaging and interesting game then it's predecessor

There is No Such Thing as Nostalgia, in my opinion it is just an excuse made by "Modern Shooter Excusers" to cover up for the fact their precious Call Of Duty games absolutely suck in terms of lifespan, challenge, gameplay, good old entertainment and imagination, compared to games over 15 years old.

It's so sad you actually believe that...
