Redpill me on this game. Notwithstanding Xen, Is there any reason to play the original now that this exists?
>>331292181
Yes, for Xen.
it's okay
Yes. They're completely different experiences, and both are worth playing.
it's okay
original is better
this lacks the atmosphere
>>331292256
>completely different
aside from graphics?
>>331292320
Yes.
>>331292338
examples?
>>331292393
The game
>>331292393
some enigmas are different. some areas too
the ending is different
Original doesn't have duckjumping galore, for one.
>>331292393
You can go download the original mod right now.
>>331292393
The levels are redesigned while keeping the same general ideas
It's much more than just a graphical upgrade
When will Xen be finished?
>>331293417
after hl3 is released.
>>331292181
It's horribly optimized, too many loading screens
>>331292181
Original is awesome. It looks neat, the engine is fun, the level design, the ennemies, the gunplay... everything is worth playing through
Black Mesa should be a bonus you play AFTER completing the original game, by no means should it replace it.

btw sven coop lets you play hl1 campaign for free
I got to the part where you go outside for the first time, and was getting like 10fps. Had to quit because it was unplayable. That was the mod though, is the steam release more stable?
