Remij 4,841 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Looks incredible. It's also HL's 20th birthday today! There's also going to be a No Clip Documentary on Half-life Hopefully the rumors about the Half-Life VR game are real and it turns out to be something special. Would be godly Link to post Share on other sites
Cooke 2,045 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Xen was the part in half life where I lost interest Link to post Share on other sites
Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Also, this. I think it was another 6 mos. from when I bought it to when I completed it due to that part. 6 minutes ago, Cookester15 said: Xen was the part in half life where I lost interest Link to post Share on other sites

Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 BTW this game looks amazing for the engine it was built on. I re-installed HL2 just to compare the difference, and yeah well Link to post Share on other sites
Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Wait a minute... So that's April-June 2019? Quote Xen is targeted for release in Q2 2019. Link to post Share on other sites

I replayed it recently, and forgot about the Hoverboat, and driving sections. The 20 minutes you spend at the safehouse throwing things for Dog to retrieve - because at the time they wanted to showcase the ragdoll physics; but it's not aged so well. The driving bits are annoying, Ravenholm was spooky, but now it just feels like a chore; much like the sand trap section with the Ant Lions. City 17 is enjoyable, killing combine with explosive barrels is a blast, Nova Prospekt is still fun, returning to City 17 with the rocket launcher, yup still fun. Whereas with Black Mesa, the levels (even when done differently) still hold up really well. Sneaking past the tentacles to power up the test rocket, watching the marines battle it out with the Xen Aliens, the weapons; not too mention a powersuit that doesn't have a 10 second lifespan for sprint or flashlight is refreshing as well.

Yeah I forgot about those tedious things. They would need to be removed or replaced Link to post Share on other sites
