How does this compare to HL1?
it is a worthwhile successor
It's revamped but with a lot of changes. Not worth the current price until Xen or they fix multiplayer.
I totally forgot about that. So it's finished now? Played the unfinished version years ago.
>Not worth the current price
>price
What? They're charging for it? what the actual fuck
It's worth a playthrough, but HL1 has better AI.
They've charged for Black Mesa for the better part of five years now.
Does some things better, does some things worse. Neat as a modern take on HL1. Don't go into it thinking that its the definitive version and you'll probably enjoy it. Has its fair share of issues though,
>So it's finished now?
Last I heard, they still hadn't finished Xen.
>paying for mods/fan content
so like all early access trash they made all their money and split
Fucking retard
No, Xen levels are actually super close to completion and some are available to play now in the beta branch.

Look, at least do the slightest bit of research.
>throwing more grenades = better AI
HL1's gameplay is leagues above it.
Until they revamp the gameplay to better match HL1's it'll always be a sidegrade at best.
The fact that Xen isn’t done yet is a travesty. Also Xen is the best end level in all of gaming.
A great experience to have if you have played HL1 and liked it.
Xen makes up a very considerable portion of the game now as compared to it being a ten minute trek in HL1.
The sound design is really well done.

If it's actually well done enough to warrant it, then yeah I say Black Mesa deserves it.
Better than "YOU FUCKED UP MY FACE" sim.
HL1's Xen levels absolutely fucking suck, they have been rushed and Valve admits it.
Have you seen Black Mesa's Xen demo? It's fucking amazing.
May as well pay them to make a game and stick it to Valv-
>on steam
god fucking dammit when will gaben just have a heart attack
>No! You should only give money to multi-billion dollar corporations!
No I’ll wait for the final product before I see anything about it. Also it doesn’t matter what sort of development drama surrounds it. Tonally, thematically, and gameplay wise Xen was a masterpiece. Only long jump scrubs disagree.
>long jumps are hard
>xen was a masterpiece
holy fucking lol, of course it's a tripfag
Here's your last (You). Filtered.
Xen is fine. Maybe not the greatest piece of gaming but it's not a trainwreck like people make it out to be.
It's not a trainwreck because it's playable and at least adds a little bit to the story/atmosphere.
It still sucks.
Imagine liking linear cinematic garbage like hl1.
