Black Mesa Vs Half Life

[cripplecel]

I pick half life because the gameplay feels better. Black mesa feels like a mix of half life 1 and 2 and I just prefer the classic gameplay.

Also sound design is so much better in half life. So many satisfying sounds like the hound eye attack, or HEV suit charger. Black mesa has changed many of the sounds for the worse.

A good example of this is the HECU. They had heavy static in their voices and sounded almost robotic because of how the voice lines were implemented with each word being recorded individually and heavy static being used to seamlessly make the words into sentences. Black mesa has none of that and really ruins the HECU for me & ruins the scariness of these enemies.

But visually it is amazing & they also did a good job with all the HEV suit sounds. One thing I like alot more is the gore is a mix of half life 1 & half life 2. Since you can gib enemies with explosives or powerful weapons but also ragdolls are still in the game.

At the end of the day both are worth playing.

I haven't tried Black mesa yet but I remember having a blast with half life in the 90s. I played half life 2 and the two episodes in the 00s. Damn good games.

I highly recommend trying Black mesa out, it will be a great way to re experience half life again.

Ikr. Just shitty copy paste conveyor belt puzzles over and over. They could have cut it to 25% and it would have been much better imo.
