Message: [QUOTE="Waffles, post: 235581, member: 703"] I recall people being real mad at the incredibly slow build-up of the original Half-Life (from the tram to the disaster at the test chamber), but I honestly think it's examplary gameplay. They convey so much just by letting you walk around NPCs doing their own thing and interacting with the environment with very little dialog to boot. Unlike the vast majority of games, this one's world is not about you -- you are simply another face on a huge company and the game isn't afraid to let itself breathe before dumping you into endless action from then on. It's economic storytelling at its finest. [/QUOTE]
