idc if I'm the only one playing thjis I'm still going to make observations about it

all the scientists are younger and that's just weird, it's like they changed the story arbitrarily. I appreciate them adding female scientists though because just like real life girls make funnier noises when something eats them

houndeyes are really fucking cool now please someone play this so we can talk about how awesome the houndeyes are now. I hope valve sees this and puts houndeyes in hl3.

I don't know if they made it easier or if I'm just better at half-life than I used to be, but anyway I'm dying less than I did as a teenager in hl1

just launched the rocket and roasted the tentacle creature. I remember getting the shotgun earlier in regular hl1, in black mesa I didn't get it until the beginning of this chapter. maybe a false memory from always using cheats as a kid.

I don't have to remember having to jump+squat almost every time I jumped either

it's a remake of half-life 1 with half-life 2 technology, the levels are more organic there's more variety of scientists/security guards and obviously the graphics are a lot better. gameplay is more or less the same, a couple of puzzles I don't remember may or may not be new

but anyway back to your original question yes if I feel like playing half-life 1 from now on this is the one I will be playing

I was looking forward to it a bunch of years ago. If there's a way to play it without installing steam I might be interested again.

you're going to have fun. I'm almost up to the part where you teleport to xen and I hear that's coming in an update (probably in another 10 years) so I'm predicting a case of blue balls in the very near future

black mesa has a lot more puzzle elements than HL1

they're all borrowed from HL2 though so they aren't disorienting and annoying

yeah they did a good job with cranking up the music and setting a mood, valve should really hire these guys
