Black Mesa is much better than Half-Life 1
I’m sure everyone already knows what Black Mesa is and in case you don’t, it’s full re-imagining of Half-Life 1 that aims to improve both visuals, gameplay, narrative and many more aspects that were lacking in the vanilla game.

Let’s start off by saying that Half-Life 1 is a very bad game, especially by today’s standards. In the industry that now has tens of thousands Triple-A titles that have already re-evaluated all elements and concepts of what a shooter is supposed to be, you have an old game from 1998 with barely anything interesting to offer. Black Mesa aims to fix that, even though it doesn’t succeed entirely.

Half-Life 1 in comparison to Black Mesa is outdated and has to be put into a trash bin, as it’s just not it anymore. Black Mesa, however, takes that old game and improves key elements to at least the standard of games from 2010. If that’s not good enough, then i suppose it’s time to move on to more modern titles, as Black Mesa is really the only thing to offer and is the only worthy take on Half-Life 1.

Black Mesa has:

1. Characters who aren’t just random generic NPCs.

2. Better graphics. Sure graphics still kinda suck, but overall it is an improvement.

3. Level design. Environments are cluttered with more objects and there is simply more to them.

4. Better lightning.

5. Better textures.

6. Better character models.

7. Better gun models.

8. Better narrative.

9. Better length. The game is longer than the vanilla.

10. Better A.I. It doesn’t explode itself or runs around mindlessly, instead, the HL2 A.I had been substantially recoded and marines pose more danger.

11. Better levels. (Except for Xen chapters)

12. Better everything apart from Xen and a bunch of other tiny moments.

As you can see Black Mesa is a better game and is a replacement to Half-Life 1.

Do you have nothing else to do other than to churn out these low tier bait posts?
No clown for you.

Why are you trashing Half Life with those posts?

Rewards giving steam points were a mistake.

Black Mesa is plain bad. It'd be okay as a mod, but as a whole game it is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Black Mesa is bad on its own and terrible when compared to HL.

But of course, younger players' mind work like "better graphic = better game!"
Gatinicore Nov 26, 2023 @ 4:54am 
Black mesa is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Nice bait. Mods, crush his skull

bait post but heres my opinion, black mesa was never meant to replace half life and half life 1 may look old to the modern generation of little kids being brainwashed by skibidi toliet but its a great game to play

black midesa, never finished it and the fact it has the little rocket man achievement 4 TIMES is kinda ass, imagine having to complete the game again 4 times just to do the recycle of a legendary achievement in episode 2
