You mean one autist guy spamming doesnt allow you to like it

Go ask reddit

its good, but after the 3-4 play through it gets kinda stale and you need to mod it to get the same enjoyment out of it

far superior to half-life 2

no it sucks

I have played it once and I didn't make it past the first 20 minutes

Black Mesa, although being cleverly and realistically designed, is very boring to look at, even if the exploration and connectivity is great. It deserves as much, if not more, shit as Quake gets for the whole Brown meme, except replace it with grey.

If you have a way, play it in VR. It seriously plays amazing and feel fresh even though it's ancient when played in VR.

if you like movement and engine gimmicks play it. otherwise play black mesa

it still holds up imo

That one is good, but play this one instead. Takes all the fun stuff about Half Life, condenses it, and mostly leaves out the shitty part (Xen).

Play it. It's a classic.

Yes.
>otherwise play black mesa
No. Black Mesa's sound design is wholly worse.

Play Crack-Life instead

Also no. Play it after HL1 so you can better appreciate the differences.

Just get used to having butter underneath your HEV suit feets. It feels like skating when you move around

its cause gold source had a better sound engine than the later source games
theres a 3kliksphilip video about it

Maps are shit. You always the fuck knows where (except biodome), while in original all levels were distinct.

just play Black Mesa desu.

Yes, but only on hard difficulty.

play black mesa its better

Y,N

why wouldn't you

The brief Xen level, and the ability to teleport there for additional health and ammunition was an cool feature. Opposing Force had so many intersting concepts, like the barnacle grapple, or the squad mechanics, but never fully explored any of them. There's like 2 places in the entire game where the grapple is useful for instance.

Yes

No.

is "always run" still fucked? Got a bit sick of steering like a cow on ice

Play it with Yas Forums via Sven Co-op
if you play it any other way then you are wasting your time

The movement was one of my favourite parts of HL1. It's a shame they reduced sprinting to a limited power in HL2, making that game much slower by comparison.

you ever play a different game because the sounds are nicer?

>cow on ice
well, that's new. don't even know what that's supposed to be like. game handled like normal, i guess, really nothing like a cow on ice.

I liked it too, it can be hard to jump and stop on landing instead of skating of the edge.

it's essential, ignore perennially butthurt quake tombers

Yes and the best part is you can most likely run it on the highest graphical settings

Black Mesa is better in some aspects, but worse in others. Vorts are real easy in Black Mesa, and the ammo pools are much smaller in Black Mesa. They made the soldiers a lot less tanky though, which is great. The SMG is also way more accurate in Black Mesa. Some of the level design changes are great, but others were overly simplified. Xen also drags a bit early on, the first hour or two feels like the start of a new game with how much the difficulty drops and how the game gives you a ton of simple puzzles to do.

I really need to replay this, always loved this expansion. The shit seemed insanely hard on hard though, like 100 times harder than base half life for some reason.

Quake has nothing to do with it. I like Quake and Half Life and Doom. They’re all FPSs of the golden era.

should i play it?

Opposing Force really set the standard for weapons in the series. Half-Life 2 was such a disappointment for the lack of variety, creativity and scope in Gordon's arsenal. No new Xen weapons, only one combine weapon, and everything else already seen in HL1. The gravity gun is a fun gimmick but it doesn't really make up for how limiting the weapons of the game are.

i always liked the exaggerated dsp effects in hl1

Of course there's more like slicker movement, an impressive demonstration of Quake 1's tech, but the sound is what really sells it. Go fire an RPG at something in Black Mesa, then fire an RPG at something in HL1. Night and day. Sound design is important, and Kelly Bailey was once the best sound guy in the video games industry.

It's free so why not? You're on Yas Forums anyway, not doing much.

No it isn't.

I heard the soldiers in Black Mesa can run while shooting which makes them annoying to deal with when they have hit scan weapons

Just play black mesa instead

My biggest problem with Black Mesa's level design is that it seems to follow the philosophy that more is better, that filling an environment with as many objects and as much detail somehow produces a better setting. Xen is the best example of this, where the skyboxes are overblown with bloom, and every space must be filled with as many things as possible.

have you seen the new Xen levels?

One of the most overrated horror games ever, cheap jump scares, terrible voice acting and story, lots of annoying back tracking and small design choices
Afraid of Monsters was better

When is Source Remake coming out?

They've no release date, but they provide regular updates.

opposing force is shit

Play They Hunger instead

I think there was an update video a few months ago

no

they released a new video a few days ago but it only covers the 9mm pistol from the Blue Shift remake.

Lol I remember when Gmanlives shit on this in his review and then put it in list of essential horror games

Yes. Conveyor Belt Bullshit 2: Enemy Spawning Boogaloo was the moment I uninstalled

I was talking about this one but yours shows a good comparison as well

DRINK YO PRUNE JUICE!

Yes. It's better than the sequels too. Though the graphics are a bit dated, but if you can look past that, you're in for a great game.
