Do I take the job? This weird guy keeps asking me to choose!
What’s the saying?
The best time to beat Half-Life was twenty years ago. The second best time is today?
There’s no way HL is over 20 years old, right?!?!
Congratulations!
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
Status: Hired
Well done, Mr. Freeman!
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.
If you haven’t played them, Blue Shift and Opposing Force are amazing as well (better than HL itself, IMHO).
Heresy
I get the sentiment, but I’ll stick to my guns on this one (as I have for two decades). I honestly believe that Blue Shift might be the best game Valve has ever made.
But Valve didn’t develop or publish Blue Shift?
FML, I knew that and still said it. Best Half Life related game, ever.
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.
Dang, and I thought I was late to the party when I did my first play through in 2004.
Fantastic game. What a year for landmark video games, too.
Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine.
I absolutely love this game but unfortunately I just couldn’t bring myself to compete Zen in this and Black Mesa so I can’t say I’ve beaten either.
