It's just that not playing those games when they are new, but later playing games that make use of those innovations, don't in any way constitute 'missing' something. Yes, a game can be important... heck it can be really important without being all that good of a game.
Part of what made HL so interesting to play was the newness of what it was doing. For some, it was a large part of the enjoyment of the game... making it somewhat artificial and not something that can be replicated once those innovations filter out into other games.

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. *NM*

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
