It's actually not, if you go an play it now. I'd never played Blue Shift, and when I tried it a few months back I only lasted an hour or so. I gave up when confronted with a box stacking puzzle. The graphics didn't bother me in the slightest, but being asked to stack boxes with a crane to reach a switch just felt very old.
Which s.t.a.l.k.e.r game to play?

Whenever I play HL2 I think to myself "The AI in HL1 seemed way better".
I'm guessing it's just nostalgia?
no, hl2 is just as bad tbh
why ever not everyone should play it at least once its a great game.
that had a good storey to carry it.
hl was a shooter and is now just an average shooter.
If you played it in it's time it was great if you never played it it just seems like a poor rip off of current games (which in reality are rip off's of it
)

shadow of chenobyl is awesome but DON'T give up after 2 hours when it's being stingy with the weapons and ammo -- trust me, its a slow starter, but gets better and better ..

Yes, but in the unlikely event that someone came on here a said 'I've never played the half life series which one should I start with' I'd have to say HL2. If they like it, then play 1, or get the black mesa mod when it comes out in 2030 along with ep 3.
And really if they have played any FPS except the half-life series , then they pretty much have played it. Box stacking, press this switch then press that, shoot the thingys etc.
Meh, AI is down to how easy it is to abuse. *points at the Charger AI on L4D2* how often do those things just randomly charge sideways...?
The arguements seems to be perspective. If you view HL as an old game that gave the genre a kick up the arse to improve then it comes out on top.
