Yes, I’ve never played the original Half Life. You act like it’s the end of the world.
Dude the reason everyone is stoked for this is because we all know how good Half-Life is and want to relive the experience. For you it will be just like playing a regular game and you won’t appreciate it as much as the other people. It’s funny you’re even on this forum which I’m sure wouldn’t even exist without Half-Life.
Yes, BECAUSE IT IS :fffuuu:
Why the fuck do you even come here if it’s not to relive one of the greatest experiences of all time?
When I played Half Life, it was so mysterious and scientific that I loved it; My parents were still together; I was about 7 1/2; not a worry in the world.
At that age, a video-game wasn’t so different than real life. We took on the game like it was a chapter of our lives (I did at least - like all good games at the time) and get a warm feeling when we look back upon it.
Do you understand that when we all play this, we get to not only relive a game, but we get to effectively relive the experience? It will be the Half Life we know, but it will also be new just like it was when we first played it.
Maybe because he knows it will still be a good game to play even if he hasn’t played the original?
Even though it wont still be a good game to play if he hasnt played the original.
What?
To enjoy a game’s recreation, one does not need to play the original to enjoy the recreation. :hmph:
I’m waiting and have been waiting patiently like (mostly) everyone else for this mod. I don’t see what it matters if I’ve played the original or not. God damn, people. HOP OFF!!!
Why don’t you just play HL1 now? It’s like 8 bucks on Steam and playing the original game will make you appreciate Black Mesa that much more.
I mean, what if Black Mesa never comes out? Will you deprive yourself of the best FPS ever made? That’s just stupid.
I’m not saying that I’ll never play it. I just haven’t yet. Also, my digital money is still dependent on my parents’ willingness to use their credit/debit card or add money to my paypal account. So yeah… there’s that.
Also, I don’t like torrenting Valve games. I felt violated after I did so with Portal 2. When I get the chance, I will play Half Life. When will that be? I have no idea; especially since there are other games that haven’t played, yet, that have peaked my interest far more than Half Life.
Play Half-Life.
Play Opposing Force.
Play Blue Shift.
Play Half-Life 2.
Play Half-Life 2 Episode One.
Play Half-Life 2 Episode Two.
Play Portal.
Play Portal 2.
Wait a bit.
Play Half-Life.
Then wait another year or so for Black Mesa.
And then probably another 5 years for the next Half-Life.
I miss the 90’s.
I MISS THE FUCKING 90’S!
I played a little bit of Opposing Force but it didn’t really interest me, or at least catch me as much as the original HL did. Haven’t even touched Blue Shift.
After reading this thread I’ve come to the conclusion that you are all retarded.
Thank you
Yeah, Opposing Force and Blue Shift weren’t nearly as fun as HL, but I ‘forced’ myself through them anyways. Never played decay though.
I would really love to see a rm of Opposing Force and Blue Shift as well they were both nice add-on the the story line, they helped you understand the story better and hl. But I would just settle for BLACK MESA. I not even getting my hopes up for a black mesa of op4 and blue shelf when black mesa hasent even come out yet.
Then you shouldn’t havey any interest for Black Mesa either if you don’t care that much about Half-Life.
If you want them, check out Operation black Mesa and Guard duty.
I say that if you want to enjoy Black Mesa fully, you must first play the original HL all the way through. And play through it several times. Even though it was made quite a while ago, it is still a very good game and you will not be disappointed.
Although original Half-life wasn´t the first FPS game i´ve ever played…but it was the first game i´ve realy enjoyed…not once, not twice, but many times … 
…same for HL2 and EP 1,2.
Blue Shift and Opposing Force weren´t that good, but still it was a good experience to see the storyline from other point of view.
So i recommend you to play the original, it won´t be a waste of time
It was more-or-less my interest in Half Life 2 that got me here. I believe I was looking for good Half Life 2 mods on Google, and it landed me here. I’ve been waiting ever since.
If I believe it’s gonna be a good mod, then I’ll wait for it. It shouldn’t matter if I originally had interests in Half Life.
Not playing HL1 != Not liking BM
