Do I take the job? This weird guy keeps asking me to choose!

Dang, and I thought I was late to the party when I did my first play through in 2004.
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.
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 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. 😠
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.
Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine.
It’s a hard game.
When they go all order 66 on your ass it’s a huge surprise.
“Forget about Freeman” the last thing you hear before shit gets real
The helicopter chase was the first time I heard a game really use sterio sound to ots full effect. It’s up there with Dday in Medal of honor.
What’s the saying?
The best time to beat Half-Life was twenty years ago. The second best time is today?
What’s the best time to best Half-Life 3?
Now you’re thinking with portals.
There’s no way HL is over 20 years old, right?!?!
You already missed the 20th anniversary of Half-Life 2.
I think the saying was about planting a Half Life Tree, but I doubt it’s ever going to happen.
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
I got stuck at a bad save point where Gonarch wouldn’t come down to the boss area and gave up forever.
Status: Hired
I recently played HL1 and Black Mesa back to back. It was really fun :)
Congratulations!
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.
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
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
