Game Impression (Black Mesa)
We waited 8 years and finally waited, share our impressions!Strel-Ok
Next year, not before. When it is not known exactly, but Zen promises to greatly rework and expand, to do something like there were episodes for the second part. "Respect for these guys" (C). :)
Good game. Fully conveys the atmosphere of the original, but does not fully recreate it. The game has a couple of interesting points. But I didn't completely master it. There was a feeling of déjà vu throughout the game. For me this is not very much, I do not like playing games in the second round.
But still a solid game, with which, if not completely pass, then at least get acquainted with it.
The last time I played about 15 years ago, plus a new grafon, it is played like a new game, only with time you will recognize some places, the mods are handsome, the score is 100/10, joke 10/10. many modern games would really have something to learn from black mesa,
I did not notice any bugs, one garbage I hate stairs in halva at all, in general, it was even pleasant to remember about it!
I played the first Halfa only once, and then at an easy level. Now imagine: I launch it for the second time in my life, the graphon is updated, sounds too, Mouzon is updated, everything is new! Moreover, and the average level of difficulty, which sometimes had to pant. In general, it was played like a new game, but about the same Freeman. Positive impressions, emotions - sea (I haven't had this for a long time).
Overall rating: 9/10.
To my shame, I never played the original, the grafon is surprisingly more pleasant than in the call of the inflated (expected worse), the optimization is excellent, I twisted the maximum in the game settings and the video card = 60 FPS, the game delivers extremely gameplay, unlike some shooters where you endure the godlessly boring miserable gameplay for the sake of 5 minutes of video with "a falling helicopter and an exploding building", in BM you get fun just by playing, they knew how to make games before, generally 9/10, but since this is a free mod, then 10/10.
they did everything very well, I liked the respect with which the developers treated the original, no gag and bad taste, i.e. everything that usually suffers - "unfinished modders" on the contrary, everything is done surprisingly professionally, without unnecessary embellishments, in a perfectly consistent Half-Life style and with impeccable taste, from level design to soundtrack ... in fact, everything this involuntarily evokes a great sense of respect for VALVE! This is how you need to influence people with your games, so that after so many years, absolutely disinterestedly, they make such remakes!
zs all the same, I found one bug with headcrabs, at the tenth minute of the video there should be an attack by headcrabs, but if you jump off the cargo platform, then for some reason they (headcrabs) do not appear, all this is of course trifles, I hope that this glitch will be fixed in time too .. ...
Excellent mod, I did not expect this from modders, well done) I would have waited for Xen ...
There are a lot of flaws and bugs, some levels are hardly better than the original, not a complete game.
For the creators of this mod, the release of the project is already a huge success, and all sorts of flaws can be forgiven.
In general, there is nothing to look at for improvements, these are not rich corporations, but amateurs like us. They did a great job. And you just have to judge. Try to create a mini game.
When I came down the elevator from above, the crabs jumped and I beat them with a tire iron. There was a message - the achievement 1 1 was received. What's this?
As a remake - a complete failure, as a mod - a success. The levels do not coincide with HL1, gagging to fig. The crowbar has become slag, earlier it was possible to beat it for 1 meter, and now only into a dense one. Vortigaunts now always fall, from their category you can only hide behind an object, and in HL1 you could just step aside. Until I played Hard, they say the Marines are cheating, but the point is? CL Hard should be CL, not battle or code. My computer is old, so the last level upset me very much, because of special effects the game lagged very much, even at 640x480 with minimal settings.
Looking forward to Xen and OF: Source and BS: Source. )
9/10 of which is really missing, but generally not bad. I ran through the levels and remembered the good old halva.
Best Single of the Year, Best Soundtrack; free, interesting, beautiful, strikes nostalgia.
