Which difficulty? I'm looking forward to playing it but want Nemesis to be as much of a non-factor as possible.
I did the seated forward press move in Ring Fit Adventure and the ring slipped backwards on the floor and hit my balls
...and he only made it halfway through the game. Sometimes I wish the crew finished more games.
Now they're really gonna finish them!
Unless chat sabotage runs I guess.
I'm on Standard difficulty. Honestly I expected him to be a lot worse after listening to the beastcast, but I think it's because they're running away instead of fighting. When you get him down on his knees you can lose him easily.
Probably not the best time to be playing Prototype 2 but running up walls, flying, and causing chaos is a mood right about now.
I have finished Black Mesa.
If it wasn't for 75% of Interloper this would be perfect remake.
Still, one extremely dull chapter shouldn't nullify all the other work that went into this, so overall this is still an extremely impressive game and also goes to show how well Half Life 1 has aged. I'm almost tempted to replay Half Life 1 now to see how many things were actually changed in Black Mesa because aside from some extremely minor ones (like getting the crowbar later, some experiments in Questionable Ethics and the Vortigaunt models) I couldn't really tell you the difference.
Interloper is a bad chapter and should you play the game I wholeheartedly recommend using cheats if you feel the life being drained from you by another giant room in a brown and red factory that seems to solely produce exploding barrels and conveyor belts.

What are your thoughts on computers?
Interloper is by far the most abrasive chapter in Half Life 1 originally so I'm not surprised (though a little disappointed) to hear Black Mesa wasn't able to clean it up, though from what I've seen it stayed incredibly faithful to nearly the entire level design structure of the rest of HL1.
I finally played through Half Life 1 in its entirety just the past week (had played the beginning several times over the years and consoled to Xen when I was younger but never played it in full). I actually did it in one sitting. Just sat down and thought out of the blue I should actually play Half Life through and knocked it out in an 8 hour session. Actually expected it to be longer but wasn't complaining. I remember saying to myself somewhere right around when the military first show up just how genuinely amazing it was. It truly is a great horror shooter in those early parts. The feeling of actually exploring and moving through a space is palpable in ways most shooters have still long struggled with and its amazing to see how god damn quality Half Life 1 is. It starts to drag a bit with On a Rail and a bit after Surface Tension starts to wind down in intensity (and again one final time it drags hard with Interloper) but that first third all the way up to On a Rail is genuinely some of the best FPS campaign I've ever played. Really glad I sat down and played through it.

warframe is great, you just smash control to fly across the world
i unironically love spamming movement options

It's been a dark journey but I've slowly come around to the opinion that Half Life is better than Half Life 2
I've never been one to straight adore Half Life 2. Halo was always more my jam and it having such a satisfying shootbang time and AI interplay has been key since Half Life 2 struggles in those respects. Half Life 2 also drags early with the boat section which does it no favors. I think Half Life 1 succeeds more because it focuses on that early exploration (and escape) from a space rather than the more sprawling fleeting journey that its sequel goes for and that navigation and intimacy is part of what hit me really hard playing Half Life 1 truly for the first time just a week ago.
I actually think I'll replay Half Life 2 because of this comment and such. It's been a long time and I wonder how I will feel about it though I would think my opinion hasn't changed much.
Interloper was also maybe 20-30 minutes long, at least in my memory
Don't forget Fire Emblem Awakening! But yeah, you're right, given that turn-based combat was very much something previously associated with slow, laborious JRPGs before people realized that having an abundance of options was a good thing.
Now the pendulum has swung so far in one direction that it feels like Real-Time with Pause is well on its way to irrelevance. Which would also bum me out.
It is but it drags *hard* especially compared to the rest of the game. Kind of a frustrating finale to an otherwise exceptional game.
What? no. Lemme check...Airbag's fine. Electioneering is fine. That's 5 songs!
TBH, I like The Bends much more than OK Computer.
Not even in the top 5 Radiohead albums.
King of Limbs is immensely underrated.
