    Blue Shift is fine. Sure it's not on par with say, Opposing Force, but that's because it never was never really meant to be on its level.

  • @Uber_Rush
    @Uber_Rush 9 дней назад +3

    the general consensus of why blue shift is bad is because opposing force added new content, level design felt the same in both games to me but one just had flashier bits and pieces

    • @LeanifyTV
      @LeanifyTV  9 дней назад

      I definitely felt that Blue Shift had some level design issues at times, but the same can be said for Half-Life really. Definitely the lack of shiny new stuff to draw more people in contributes to its reputation. People are wayyy too harsh

  • @PixelCherries
    @PixelCherries 9 дней назад +1

    I think Blue Shit is not bad, and even really good at times! I always love how it made the world just seems a little bit bigger. It's just unfortunate that it has to stand next to both Half-Life and Opposing Force. And, at least from my experience, people tend to play it last right after beating base game and then Opposing Force. That results in playing a complete campaign, followed by an expansion that adds even more stuff, and then a game that's alright but doesn't have that much stuff. It just seemed underwhelming in comparison. Idk I'm "Blue Shift is alright actually" strongest soldier.

    Half of the cramped level design exists for the sole reason of originally being a Dreamcast exclusive. I really can't find it in me to dislike BS, because it's over in 2 hours at most.

    Blue Shift is the best Half-Life expansion. If Decay had a single player and PC release, it would've been the best. Opposing force is the most boring out of all, even with all the additional weapons and NPCs. At least Valve appears to understand this😀
