Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up?

Half-Life 1. It’s literally the only game I’m aware of from after 1985 that I truly think “aged badly.” Doom '93, Quake, and Unreal are still stone cold classics, even Wolf3D is fun in small doses. HL1 is a mess of control oddities and obtuse game design. I dropped it at the end of the train level when it required me to do an absurdly precise jump where getting it was basically luck to finish the level.

I love Half Life 1, more than Half Life 2, infact. Until the platforming. A small amount of platforming is fine, especially if its optional and used to give you more options in a combat scenario. But when you NEED to make precision jumps with the floaty controls, its very frustrating. I usually stop after Surface Tension.
