After replaying Half Life 2 for the first time in a very long time, I have to say that this game still holds up.
What other games have stood the test of time really well?

Games don't age well or poorly. A fun game will be fun no matter how old it is.
Ryan Morgan
but for real if you haven't played Mercenaries 2 go play that shit. the destructible environments were and still are great
Joshua Bell
That's not true. Some games are better left as memories.
Kayden Foster
That's only because the game wasn't good, but you were too young to know the difference.

low tier trolling

Silent Hill 1-3
every mainline Resident Evil except CV
Final Fantasy VI, IX, and X
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask
The first half of Mario 64
Banjo-Kazooie
The first three Spyro games
Castlevania 1, IV, and SOTN
there's a bunch more, you just need to look for games with very structured and deliberate design, most survival horror, strategy, and RPGs fall into that category, its much harder for platformers.
Doom, Doom II, and Half-Life 2 i agree with even if im not the biggest fan of them myself.
Ian Perez
Yes, anyone claiming HL2 aged well is trolling, I agree.

SM64 is timeless
Connor Murphy
Was 7 when this came out, still holds up well.
Wyatt Mitchell
It's harder and harder to find games that you can say have aged well as zoomer babbies become less and less capable of recognizing good vidya.
Dylan Gomez
>FO1 didn't age
dude, come on. let's be real. FO2 is still great. but 1 is just so archaic it actually hurts to play.
Oliver King
what makes a vidya good nowadays is how stream-able it is. if it's a game with a great story and game play, but no great reaction moments then it tends to fall into obscurity. devs are wising up to the popular appeal of streamers and the potential for huge revenue via season passes and micro transactions because of steamers acting as unpaid promoters and spokesmen. vidya isn't about the vidya anymore it's about streaming.

Best opening to any game.
Jackson Ortiz
still one of the best 4 player couch games of all time
Luke Turner
Best intro to any game

Dawn of War intros are great too
Easton Thomas
literally the best mgs

Nah m8, HL2 aged worse than most games of its era. I found it unplayable after trying to replay it again for like 4 hours.
HL1 on the other hand is infinitely more replayable than 2 will ever be. Episode 1 and 2 are slightly better than HL2 base game however.
Jacob Morales
holy shit
it's been literally more than a decade since i've seen this intro
Joshua Richardson
oh yeah, well fuck your opinion

I think your problem may be autism.
Cameron Torres
Company of Heroes was, and still is the best RTS of all time in my opinion.
Dominic Bell
Age of Empires 2
Settlers 5
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
Stalker
Dungeon keeper
Jayden Fisher
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines
Always like to replay it at least once a year.
Brandon Morris
Doom is an obvious example. I genuinely cannot believe that a 26 year old game is still played by literally millions of people.
Xavier Diaz
Silent Hill is still good, you would think the tank controls would be annoying compared to modern games, but they managed to make it work with their camera
Blake Russell
Why does Yea Forums hate Half-Life 2?
This has only been a thing on this board for a few years now. Old Yea Forums thought it was a pretty cool game. Modern Yea Forums tries too hard to be contrarian.

it set the new standard which is now the tired and played out standard.
Andrew Ward
it's about the game aging, hell none of them do as something made of code can't age, it's the willingness of the player to learn the controls. most people just the excuse "it didn't age well" because they refuse to learn the controls of the game and beg for a remaster so that said controls are as watered down as possible to make it "acceptible" for these types of people.
