Half-Life is Great... Don't Play it

  I think the Havok badge in the loading screen is necessary when creating a source mod, because even though Valve uses a modified Havok engine, they still have to acknowledge the original creators (for licensing purposes).

  I honestly think you should play both. That’s how good both Valve and The Crowbar collective did, they’re both awesome.

  HLS isn't supposed to be a remaster, it was supposed to show how easy it was to port Goldsrc assets to Source. Also levitating scientist and many other bugs were because of engine updates

  If you want Black Mesa to play like the original Half Life gameplay, you can turn on the &quot;always run&quot; option in the settings. Its odd the game doesn&apos;t ask this when starting for the 1st time, because this feature changes the feeling of gameplay quite alot.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upMfmgMOEJ4&amp;t=193">3:13</a> i hate to be that guy but saying Total Chaos uses the DOOM engine is a stretch. it uses GZDoom, which is what happens when DOOM snorts a line of cocaine.

  I didn&apos;t even know there were friendly vortugaunts in hl1 until watching this, the fact that you can actually tell that there are friendly ones in black mesa make it infinitely better

  Your computer lagging out a lot while playing the game is so relatable. Every single other gaming channel I see always seems to have some giga god NASA setup, but seeing a fellow potato PC haver is nice to see. ✊

  I think of Black Mesa the same way I think of REmake. It&apos;s a great experience on its own terms but I&apos;m reluctant to call it an outright &quot;replacement&quot; to the original since it&apos;s such a drastically different experience despite having the same overall game structure. Personally I like Black Mesa a lot but I still prefer the OG simply because it still retains a lot of classic Doom/Quake/Duke3D era FPS DNA, and the lowpoly graphics and lofi sound design make the enemies creepier. Whereas I like OG RE1 a lot but personally prefer REmake because it&apos;s significantly more challenging and atmospheric (which are some of the most important things about survival horror).

  Waking up in the aftermath of the resonance cascade in Black Mesa, as well as when you first enter Xen, are probably two of the biggest &quot;oh shit&quot; moments I&apos;ve ever had in gaming. It&apos;s like everything you thought you knew about the game immediately changes, and the game&apos;s world completely opens itself up to you, for everything that it means.<br><br>Not since the moment that you first step out of the sewers in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion did a game manage to make me feel that way. Kudos to this game&apos;s designers; they truly made a masterpiece with this.
