Still one of my top 10 games i ever player i even go so far to say its better than original.
Perfect game
Best OST ever composed for a video game. No OST has made me feel this emotional and heart pounding than this. Absolutely phenomenal work from Joel Nielsen. I recommend this game in general too. The alien combat is really fun but I will say the HECU combat is pretty lackluster and bad. Play the original Half-Life first I say before playing this. This is more of a alternate take on Half-Life 1 rather than a definitive way to play it.
I was putting off get this remake because, well, 'I've already played Half-Life, why bother'. Boy was I wrong. This remake is a master piece. If you have even the slightest itch to play Half-Life again, play this instead. And maybe you'll end up clapping in your house alone like a nerd at the end too...
These twits somehow still haven't added an invert look option for controller. I shouldn't have to run third party software to play your game.
Otimo jogo, por mais que seja um jogo antigo achei ele bem imersivo, jogão!!!!!
"Did ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing... over and over again expecting... ♥♥♥♥ to change." Daran musste ich beim spielen sehr oft denken. Es... ist... so... unfassbar... repetitiv! Als großer Half-Life (2) Fan wollte ich endlich mal wieder Teil 1 spielen. Warum also nicht endlich mal Black Mesa nachholen? Half-Life 1 habe ich einige Male gespielt, aber nur einmal vor mindestens 15 Jahren durchgespielt. Daher kann ich jetzt nicht alle Unterschiede zwischen Black Mesa und Half-Life 1 bewerten. Was aber definitiv Probleme des Remakes sind: -Viel zu viele Gegner! Es war so schnell so dermaßen ermüdend sich durch diese Horden an Gegnern zu schießen die ins Remake gestopft wurden. -Miserable Lesbarkeit der Level. Durch die deutlich bessere Grafik ist es nun extrem oft sehr schwer zu sehen, wo es langgehen soll was das Leveldesign aktiv so viel schlechter macht. -Das Movement von Half-Life 2 passt nicht zum Spielgefühl und ursprünglichen Design von Half-Life 1. Es fühlt sich falsch an und durch die vielen Gegner fällt das auch andauernd auf. -Das Spiel ist zu aufgebläht und mindestens 4 Stunden zu lange. Das kulminiert in Zen, was super aussieht aber spielerisch immer noch furchtbar ist. Das Original ist mies, aber wenigstens hatte es den Anstand halb so lange zu sein. -Diese lächerlichen Rätsel die zusätzlich überall reingestopft wurden... Wenn ich noch einen weiteren Stecker umstecken muss, bekomme ich einen Anfall. Mir ist klar, dass ich vermutlich mit Half-Life 1 heute auch massive Probleme hätte. Aber Black Mesa ist ein Paradebeispiel warum Fans es einfach nicht besser wissen und können. Das Original hat und hatte definitiv viele Probleme, aber sie waren der Zeit geschuldet, was es aus heutiger Sicht interessanter macht. Black Mesa versucht diese Fehler zu beheben, macht das Spiel aber aktiv schlechter dadurch. Trotzdem meine Hochachtung vor diesem Projekt und ich bin froh, dass es so etwas gibt. Aber ich fand das Spiel spätestens nach 10 Stunden nur noch ermüdend und ich weiss wirklich nicht, wann ich mich zuletzt so sehr dazu zwingen musste, ein Spiel einfach nur noch zu beenden. Auf meinem Steam Handheld lief es gut und konnte problemlos mit Controller gespielt werden. Besonders in Zen ist die Performance allerdings stellenweise extrem in den Keller gefallen.
excelente juego me encantó, expandieron el universo half life de una manera majestuosa
