    Okay but like, Half Life 2 is similar to Citizen Kane.

    A revolutionary piece of media for its time that brought the medium as a whole forward.

    And kind of a slog to get through now because we learned a lot of lessons about the medium since then.

    Like I’m sorry, but you’re not going to convince me that the strider fights on your way to the citadel were actually good and definitely not a painful chapter that soured a lot of people ln the game. And Water Hazard is infamous for being very uninteresting to the point that people that play half life now joke about it.
