Guys, if you havan't played it yet, now it's your time. The game is absolutely fantastic. It has one of the best level designs I've ever seen in a game

There is the black Mesa mod/project which revamps the graphics if that's a showstopper for you. But it's worth playing.

Black Mesa's AI is (ironically) significantly worse though

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Yes and no, the original AI was really bad in its own ways. They're different and I don't think either one is top of the line, but I wouldn't say one is significantly worse than the other.

it's nothing like a mod they built a replica from the ground up

I remember the day I bought HL at the store. I also bought my first Korn album that day.

If you haven't played HL1 before and you end up enjoying it and you have the money to spare; give Black Mesa a try. For my money it's the best remake any game has ever received and the fact that it was done by fans is astonishing when you see the level of polish that went into it.

Played through the original game a few times now. I also played through the Black Mesa fan remake.
