I'd say that the gravity gun was a huge innovation.
Also, Half Life 1 was the first FPS with a real, fullbodied story, so a continuation of that is going to tug some heartstrings.
But I can totally get not being enthralled by the gameplay. I liked it, but it's not insane.
Episode 1 is OK.
Episode 2 is REALLY good. I liked it a lot.

I amuse myself.
Waiting a while to buy games has a serious benefit.

Ya, I did the same thing with Mass Effect 2. It was down to $15 or $20 *NM*

If you can stand the wait, that really is an excellent way to do it

Incidentally, I really DID play half-life 2 for the first time a couple weeks ago.

It was. . ok. And yes, I know that's probably a blasphemous assessment.

I would say that this is one of the detriments to waiting so long.

Games as a developing platform, I'd say technological innovations that help gameplay are important.

Most games don't need you to play the first in a series to appreciate the later ones.

Very true. A good practice. I very rarely buy games when they first come out
