The joke has probably gone over my head, but great to see.

Its basically the intro to the original Half-Life game. If you haven’t I’d highly suggest playing the original or getting Black Mesa which is a remake of the original by a third-party company but with Valve’s blessing to do so.

This is the intro to Half-Life 2, but the original and Black Mesa are great games as well.

Not my cup of tea. Preferred RTS etc. Not really bothered other than GoldenEye, Quake 2 and a little timesplitters with friends. FPS doesn't interest me.

I hate FPS games. They're probably my least favorite genre. I really enjoyed HL2.

Although, I was playing through the series to get ready for Alyx, so that may have colored my perception.

My brother in Christ you are talking about games that came out over twenty years ago.

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, and since then there has not been one FPS that has interested me, so why would I know the intricate details of them?

Not at all. Shooting things with guns repeatedly is somewhat boring to me.

You are a rare person, who does'nt like a hood FPS shooter?

It's a parody of Dr. Breen's "Welcome to City 17" speech from the start of Half-Life 2. If you've never played Half-Life 2, then it's a very, very, very strong recommend from me.
