Do I take the job? This weird guy keeps asking me to choose!
Nah don’t take the job, only empty treats this guy, he can do nothing to you, trust me.
I was so free to take your weapons inhales, they were government property anyways. For the suit, … well … I guess you have earned it.
You might hate me for this, but I never finished the original Half-Life.
I have finished Black Mesa, original game’s expansions, Half-Life 2 and it’s episodes, but never Half-Life 1.
I always quit somewhere after the middle of the game, and only once I got to Xen.
Fantastic game. What a year for landmark video games, too.
I beat it for the first time a couple years ago. Not too shabby. I think I had to look up how to do the platforming in xen.
Blue shift and Opposing force are neat add-ons to hl1.
The Orange Box is one of the last gaming purchases that I actually got my moneys worth out of.
Orange box was amazing value for money
I got stuck at a bad save point where Gonarch wouldn’t come down to the boss area and gave up forever.
I recently played HL1 and Black Mesa back to back. It was really fun :)
You should also play black mesa, portal, and alyx
Black Mesa is just ““chef’s kiss””
Yeah xen in hl1 is pretty meh but in black Mesa it’s incredible. So well done
Congratulations!
I am still a little upset that if I don’t take his offer, I don’t even get to try and fight all those aliens he teleports me into the center of. 😠
Status: Hired
I never finished it; I kept running out of ammo against the final boss and just gave up. That was many, many years ago though, so I probably just missed its weak point and didn’t think to look up how to beat it.
you need to shoot the cristals on the wall, then he opens his head, you then have to launch above him with the alien jumppads and shoot down on him
I probably just missed its weak point and didn’t think to look up how to beat it
Hint: you have to aim down from above it.
Well done, Mr. Freeman!
I’ve played through Half Life twice. Once on original release and secondly when it received that big remaster fairly recently. I’m my opinion, it’s a fantastic game until you get to Xen and it becomes a bit of a annoying platform fest.
Those same criticisms were there when it was released. I remember reading it on Digitiser.
Same. Original and then Orange Box.
Xen when you have to jump on those space manta rays to get to the floating island is mega annoying
I actually like the platforming in the game but the low gravity in Xen does make it annoying. Missed so many jumps, definitely abused quick save
