What the fuck?
>>321626683
What game?
I was just thinking about this, it's kind of disgusting since they are literally charging money for this now. Not that I would mind, but fuck right off until you finish it.
>>321626748
black mesa
They finally completed crossfire not long ago
>>321626683
>those fucking aimbot soldiers
Made me quit at the fucking dam
Think about how long it took them to make what they got now, and now consider they aren't just doing xen, they are remaking xen to be better than the mediocre original xen
>>321627381
I thought they were just bringing the game into the modern era
I dislike when fans 're-imagine' their darlings; i didn't want to play _their_ game, i wanted the original but built for modern machines
>>321627565
To be fair, the vast majority of people DIDN'T want to play Valve's version of Xen, and this is coming from someone who actually liked it.
>>321627080
>he's never played HL on hard
Blood and HL are the most no fun allowed gammes ever made once you turn the difficulty up
>>321628065
No they are not.
Its pretty easy to dodge stuff in vanilla HL even on hard, except for the assassins, fuck those assassins, literally.
But no matter what you do, the first enemy shot will ALWAYS hit in Black Mesa
>>321628410
not to mention the fucking omniscient AI
>climb up ladder from sewers
>pop head out, see bunch of soldiers looking away from me
>do nothing for a few seconds, suddenly they all turn around and start shooting at me
fucking disgrace to what HL had
>>321628065
Half Life is not remotely difficult on hard mode bruh. I have to do extra shit like turn the crosshair off to make it hard in any way.
>>321628803
ESPECIALLY on what range!
I couldnt even SPOT the damn soldiers at the dam and received damage, I had to run back through the gate and climb up the hill to nail them with my revolver and crossbow and god help you if you are out of ammo for those 2 weapons.
>>321628921
>damn soldiers at the dam and received damage
God damn.
Am I the only one who fapped re-skinned assassin's dead body?
>>321629242
I'm never expecting a post here that is funny for some reason other than someone being unnecessarily angry, so every time I do see one it hits me way harder than it should.
what exactly don't cunts like about Xen?
I played Hal-Life for the first time last year. I thought nothing of Xen. It was just a weird boss at the end of a weird game. I just don't get the hate
>>321629625
Xen isn't the name of the boss, it's the name of everything from Gonarch onward. It's just a shittily designed wide open series of islands with awful jumping physics.
That being said, I honestly thought it was neat to explore because for a 1998 game it LOOKS amazing, but it's really fucking awful from the standpoint of actually playing it as a game. There are also a ton of wide open areas where you fight hitscan vortigaunts from all sides. It's not hard, it's just really annoying.
They can take however long they want to, what they released so far shows that they know how to make a game.
>Still no Leeches
>Surface tension and Forget about Freeman still totally butchered
>mfw
>>321630214
They made a graphical overhaul of the game, cut levels and made bullshit AI, thats literally it.
>>321630480
So you are just mad that the game was too hard for you?git gud
Black Mesa>Original HL1
>>321630539
There is a fine line between hard and just annoying.And Black Mesa crossed the line hard.
Also HL1 feels so much better to play than Black Mesa. I think goldsource coming from the quake 1 engine has a lot to do with that.
>>321630539
That doesn't even make sense.
>>321630761

Form a conga line and head towards you in a straight line
Like shooting fish in a barrel
>>321626748
>What game?
Even if you don't recognize the screenshot, you should at least recognize Xen you fucking shitter.
>>321630368
>not using the Surface Tension Uncut mod made by somebody is now a Black Mesa dev
>>321630761
>That elevator scene when you are bombed by headcrabs
it's been that long?
Can you name one thing that HL1 and 2 did that offset them from generic brown 'n bloom shootan, without mentioning any of the weapons, setting or characters?
Didn't think so.
>>321633402
Yes.
It came before generic brown 'n bloom shootan.
>>321633496
>Doom
>Quake
Nope.
>>321633539
>Doom
>Quake
>Generic brown 'n bloom shootan
>>321633402
It revolutionized storytelling by giving you unskippable cutscenes that instead of being actual cutscenes were just people talking at you for ages.
>>321633539
>it was generic when two games did it
fag
>>321633539
Doom and Quake with bloom?
Stop playing mods and play the original game

Typical.

Chill dude I thought it was HALO what the fuck is Xen?
>>321633662
That seems reasonable enough.

Physics puzzles.
What's the best game with the most satisfying revolvers?
>>321633750
>>321633662
Hey d-don't fucking t-talk to me that way
>>321626683
the big assassin fight was a bit much on hard. I had to try like 14 times and I only eventually beat it because one of the assassins got bugged and stood still, facing away
>>321633770
I like the original better. The new ones are to over produced. The minimalist sound of the hl1 ost made it great.
Don't forget that they now charge for their mod, so you can pay for not recieving finished content.
>>321626683
What have they been doing all this time? Literally who cares about the multiplayer.
>>321633947
>What have they been doing all this time?
Realizing that HL1 was a shit game so they are only pretending to work on it
