There were no good games in 2004. None. I remember building building a computer with 1gb RAM, Pentium 4, and an ATI Radeon 9800xt… And just having nothing good to play.
When I played the original back on PS3, I would definitely say it’s that good. To me, it did feel like it was the game making the generational leap. It’s not so noticeable these days now that technology and game design has advanced so much, but my first playthrough was wonderful.
As a note: I haven’t played the sequels, the remasters on modern consoles, or watched the TV show.
The second game is arguably even better than the first. The story telling made me care about someone I did not think I would care about. Highly recommend you give it a playthrough!
It’s pretty hilarious to me the mental gymnastics some people will go through to refuse to admit that the gameplay is hugely improved in the sequel just because they don’t like one thing that happened in the story.
I didn’t get from OPs comment that they didn’t play the second one for any particular reason. They didn’t really add any qualifiers as to why they didn’t play it.
I played it about a year ago. I was pleasantly surprised. It’s very well-done for it’s time. It’s a bit dated now but not in a bad way. I’d recommend it if you like horror and/or adventure games.
I think it depends a lot on how much you like serious stories in your video games. I prefer lighthearted games so I didn’t even make it through the first one, but my best friend loves them.
People like to belittle and demean things they think are a threat to their bottom line, especially if they don’t actually understand it.
Recently encountered this with people knocking FOSS as “children’s software”, clearly because they’ve already sunk enormous cost into their expensive licensed corporate pipeline and they don’t want a FOSS artist getting a piece.
You could probably carry around a small keyboard to plug into your phone if you really wanted to. I don’t know how well it works with iPhone, but it should work just fine on Android.
Yeah, kinda sucks actually. I remember having to jump on Combine and insert another coin when i want to get a Gravity Gun in Half Life 2.

Was it really that good? It was just jump scares and ego-gun-tripping…mixed with decent voice acting…

Video games in many cases now cost more to make than movies / tv. And for years video games have out sold movies.
Yet to this day the movie / tv industry still treats the gaming industry as an unloved red headed step child.
They do their own thing and the movie or tv show ends up flopping.
Rinse and repeat.

In this household, you jump on an enemy, and they invert and fall off the screen, unless they have spikes
But why put Mario Bros in 1972?
I’m sure they meant 1982.
I mean The Last of Us was really good, I cat think of a better game /jk (The Last of Us was good though)
I dog of plenty of better games
Lmao I just saw the typo. I wish we had physical keys still for phones.

Works just fine on iOS too.
