The Half-Life games never seemed like horror games to me, they had a few scares like when a headcrab or zombie suddenly leapt at you from a vent, but that’s about as scary as it gets.
It’s more of a sci-fi story.
uh no
One of the scariest parts in HL for me was the Ichthyosaur. I refused to go into water that had one unless it was dead. I’m really excited to see how far I jump when I see the BM version now.
This. The Ichtyosaur scared the crap out of me the first time I played Half-LIfe.
Oh my gosh. That was BY FAR the scariest part of Half-Life.
I hope you mean, “yes its supposed to be a horror game but it wasn’t” because if that’s what you mean then I agree.
Also Ballsopt I meant to say the original targeted audience was teenage homophobic boys, WAS so it isn’t anymore
i was scared when i first met with the fast zombie. İt was f****** fast. i turned and started to run like crazy
İn the half life the headcrabs in the vent scared the hell out of me
ookay
Dude, we are talking about Half-life 1 not Half-Life 2…
Yeah, but they gave the game a complete overhaul from 1997 to 1998, so I think that in the end, the targeted audience was a more mature one.
lmao 
:lol:
Yeah, I already own RTB, that’s in a certain context. the intended audience of Half Life was still not “homophobic teenage boys”.
That one character was meant to play on homophobia, but that doesn’t make the target audience “homophobic teenage boys.”
No, what I meant is that it fits the horror genre about as well as Army of Darkness.
“Horror Comedy” :freeman:
Ya really, although Afraid of Monsters (cheesy name), a Half-Life mod, is actually a horror game despite its name, for those who are easily scared that will actually make you piss yourself but for those who are like me and aren’t scared of horror games will still make you go “holy shit, where did that come from” its also hard as hell. ANYWAYS getting back on topic.
If Half-Life had that horror feel of AOM then Half-Life could proudly wear the title of a horror game, but since that will never happen it will just keep the title of :freeman:
Afraid of Monsters =/= Army of Darkness
fix’d
when i played half life for the first time the graphics made it look like a low-budget sci-fi film made in the 80’s but the story and gameplay was epic.
I hope black mesa will look so much better when it comes to graphics and gameplay (can’t improve story because its already as awesome as it gets)
:lambda:
You didn’t play Half-Life when it was released, did you?
