Why pay? Cause its the original, and there will still be aspects to BM that are much different from the first.
Well yeah but most of those aspects that are changed are improvements. I’d say getting it because it’s cheap, but other than that you may as well wait for BM.
Plus there’s over a decade of incredible mods for HL1.
It is now.
Oh yes it is.
Well, maybe not traditionally for games, but still.
For HL3, I’ll do what I did for Portal 2: play every game in canonical order the day before release. Then get the new game and play it. Then cry because it didn’t match my superficial standards.
For BM: I’ll do it afterwards.
I might play them all, again, but I’ll probably just play BM multiple times before I do, though.
A decade is ten years.
o shit nigga
nothing can compete with that. not unless all 3 combine where doing it. episode 5 mmm.
You know that Valve is going to do something in order to make it look that they made BM? Like they made with Counter Strike, Team Fortress and all that shit.
They hired the mod teams that made CS and TFC. They could hire a few of the members of the BM team, but many of them have careers in other fields. (Raminator being a scientist as an example)
Because of this, they wouldn’t be able to own Black Mesa more than the story and characters, unless the devs that they don’t hire sign a contract. And Valve is smart enough to never charge for Black Mesa even if they do somehow get full ownership of it. Or, at the very least, they respect their fans enough to never charge for it.
I hope they do.
I havent read all the posts here but ive got a crazy theory…valve bundled other games with ep1 and ep2…soo maybe the bm ppl and valve made a deal to bundle this mod with ep3…I wouldnt blame them if its the case,its a lotta hard work for a free mod…
Ohhhh, you’re one of those! I thought so.
foolin with that stuff is what caused the first Resonance Cascade…
hence why Ram hasn’t actually pushed the the big crystal into the whirling pool of light. he’s still on the first chapter of HL1.
No, BMS will never compete with EP3 because there is no such thing as EP3.
EP3 is a fairy tale told by parents to their kids on stormy nights.
“Be good little Johnny or else Gabe Newell will release EP3 and then come and eat you.”
