@cell @lain @sun Play the original Doom or Quake and then the first Half Life. You've got your answer.

@phnt @lain @cell @sun Half-life still adheres to this principle, which is why we don't have any sequels past HL2 -- gameplay innovation is quite difficult.

@iamtakingiteasy @lain @cell @sun Half Life without the story is boring and quite mediocre. Just like Doom without the fast paced gameplay.

@phnt @lain @cell @sun Yes, but you essentially just provide the justification for a story in a porn movie. Thats why it is there, but the story is not the main attraction.
