What did you think of Black Mesa?

no xen made me kind of upset

Yes but you still are stinky and no body will be your friend.

If you say so kid
Go back to Halo

Black Mesa takes so many liberties with artistic license that its almost incomparable with the original.

In blast pit, you no longer have to beat the fan before it turns on fully, and you no longer have to break wood at the top of it. Fucking dropped, they ruined the best bits.

Hitscan in general is dull. There's no reason for it with the computing power nowadays

Halo 1 aged better than HL1
not that user :P

They're still working on it, but at least they finally went through the art passes.

The only issue I had with it was the uneven difficulty level. It's a perpetual coin toss between too easy and too hard.

Half life 2 in a half life 1 setting with additions that are inferior to the original.
Like seriously, take all that made HL1 a great game, replace it with HL2 mechanics, then add pointless shit like long gunfights intlo rooms that never supported it and make everything bigger for the sake of it. Its novel but thats it.

It's basically done from what I understand and it looks well made. They apparently completely remade that section of the game and made it much longer.

A piece of garbage made by a bunch of amateurs.
And i mean Skyrim-mod tier of amateurs.

No understanding of what made the original great and some weird compuslion to put in MORE STUFF in. It's fine as someones project, i guess, but charging money and pretend like it's the definitive version of Half-Life is just laughable.

On the bright side, not a single cent of its development budget was stolen by anyone named Randy and funneled to a meme shooter

I never played it, is this true? If so this is fucking stupid. Also I know they cut down On A Rail, fuck anyone who says otherwise that chapter's great.

Agreed, the shooting is awful, everything else is great

See for yourself, there is no danger in turning the fan on anymore. Nor are there planks of wood you have to destroy at the top.

They guy in the video says you can be decapitated but never happened for me.

Bada bing bada boom ashes

Bugged

Been a while

Wasn't this guy responsible for restoring Surface Tension as a separate mod initially? Why wasn't On A Rail adopted as well?

Zoom zoom, bad graphics.

why do you care, cunt?

Aged like SOUL more like.

Duke Nukem forever wasn't in development for very long. It was in development hell for long. The game was passed around from studio to studio before the final version was shat out in 6 months.

Black Mesa dev's are following the same design philosophy as valve and the antlion caves in EP2, They were too afraid of zoomers running around in circles.

They added a bunch of unnecessary shit like having to use flares to damage enemies at the start of the game, it STILL isn't finished, fighting hgrunts is still awful, and performance is shitty.

I really enjoyed Black Mesa and I played Half Life when it came out. I wish the grunts weren't hitscan or at least had longer reaction times. I think the team was able to pull off a very pretty looking remaster for being a volunteer team.

>performance is shitty
What? I don't have the best PC and I still run it 200+ fps

valves problem was hiring LITERAL boomers to play test their games

Going by the progress they shown off in their January news update, It would be a miracle for it to come out this year, Mid next-year probably if they actually manage to squeeze some work in on it.

What is taking so long?

Small dev team biting off more than they could chew, Handful of artists and modelers doing the bulk of the work, Those rock textures are not going to make themselves.

Worthy remake to a game that was practically call of duty of its age. A bit overrated legacy but still a fun rollercoaster.

>great soundtrack.
It was okay. Sounds a bit too much like generic stock epic movie soundtrack.

What's a hitscan enemy?

Well the first version of the game was worked on via a bunch of people that wanted to work on it while they had actual jobs.

To be fair there are portions of that uncut mod that are not made very clear. Specifically the train yard.

instant bullet travel

Where the fuck is Zen?
Im still waiting I gave upvon the original game back in the day because it just didn't play very well past the mid point and looking at gameplay videos all I missed out on was a shitty fucking platforming section and muh ayylium world that the sequels never dealt with directly and the whole series evaporatived from everyone's thoughts after waiting 12 fucking years for hl3/ep3
Fuck valve fuck modders and fuck this game even fan mods drag shit out for decades in dev hell what the fuck

What's wrong with it? Do you mean having unrealistically slow bullets like Fortnite is better?

In their defense, they're completely remaking Xen from the ground up.

>everyone hated xen

Well yeah people hated the original Xen. They're completely remaking it. I have hopes it will be good, at this point it HAS to be good and I'm sure they know that.

>everyone hated Xen
Most of Xen was better than legit hot garbage like Residue Processing, On Rails, the bit between Resonance Cascade and Office Complex, or some parts in or around Forget About Freeman.
