Half life is far from Planescape Torment...

2d isometric vs 3d first person. One format clearly lets stories breathe better, but that doesn't mean half life isn't story driven.

Never said it isn't, I said story isn't the thing that made it and Valve popular.

I'm old enough to remember when it released, story wasn't the focus.
