You don't get the hype because you never played the franchise. If you're a complete Half-Life virgin then starting with Black Mesa and then playing Half-Life 2, ep 1 and 2 is about the best experience you get get without question.
I didn't get what the hype was about when Half-Life 2 first released. A friend got me a pirated copy which is the only reason I tried it and I've been a massive fan ever since. I should probably try out more games that don't seem appealing to me for that reason, but meh.
