Will Black Mesa replace Half Life 1 for you?

So, will you use Black Mesa when you want to play Half life 1? Just curious.

I mean, of course you will want to come back to the vanilla Half life 1 every once in a while, but will you play Black Mesa more than Half life 1?

#2

I think i just might play black mesa more… Black mesa looks better from what media I’ve seen. Nothing can ever truly replace HL1 though…

#3

Just looking at BM, I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell. It looks amazing, but Half-Life is a very, very big thing to replace for me.

#4

Yes.

I’ve played vanilla Half-Life enough to not have to play it again unless I feel nostalgic, and if Black Mesa is as good as it’s supposed to be, the nostalgia will already be there.

#5

Quite possibly, although half-life :s ource didn’t replace the original Half-Life for me, but that was because of a few quirks I had with it.

#6

A lot of people had “a few quirks with it.” That’s kind of why we’re here in the first place.

#7

It can’t fully replace HL, but it will do a damn good job of trying!

#8

I expect that when I ask people if they have played Half-Life, I will eb referring to Black Mesa.
That is the level of awesomeness I am expecting from Black Mesa, and I think it will overpass my expectations.

#9

No, Black Mesa “source” will either be at part with the original Half-Life for me, or it’ll just be played once and be forgotten about until years later. And when a new team decides to re-remake Half-Life, then simply put, we’re fucked.

#10

My point is: technically speaking, Half-Life: Source is an upgrade of Half-Life, and yet I didn’t like it more than the original.

#11

Technically speaking, it’s an experiment.

I really don’t see what the problem is with HL: S. I would never buy it, but it’s exactly what valve set out to make and exactly what they promised: a straight port of Half-Life to the source engine.

#12

I hope It will

#13

:facepalm: Nobody said otherwise.

#14

No.

I have too many old computers barely able to play hl1

#15

It will never replace HL for me. I still map / mod for HL after all. :stuck_out_tongue:

#16

Yep. Plus I’m not passing judgement until after I play it.

#17

MadMax, MadMax Reborn, MadMax2. Good job on the new acc.

#18

I seriously would not play the original when the mod comes out. Why go back?

#19

What? MadMax’s grammar, spelling and punctuation (in short, his English) was godawful, there’s no way he could make posts like that. :retard:

#20

It will. Unless is sucks. Then it won`t.
