cuando sale el ultimo capitulo? no me esperaba en lo absoluto que el mod aun estuviera incompleto

U bring us what we miss in black mesa. Stingray airlines. That awesome

NGL I always hated progressing through Xen, and I don't know why. It just feels rather lonely, not to mention the controllers in the final fight of Focal Point were being absolute...

We'll have to wait another year for the continuation, because each next chapter will be twice as long as the chapter with XEN?

Когда продолжение?

Absolutely speechless with this mod...you are all incredibly talented!! Can't wait for the future, take yalls time <3

will i lose my progress in the mod if i uninstall it then reinstall it later?

@Geez just three chapters

@ontheprowl that's actually what I'm doing - waiting for the full experience. I don't remember the original - it was so many years ago, so it will be almost like teenage years come back ,)

How much has left to be remade?

@Breakout, yes.

is there coming more?

@Rayce_raves

Very sad. I played too amazing Focal Point but this too long chapter. Wait for Power Struggle. Waiting on Operation Black Mesa.

I just finished whats done so far and it is amazing, can't believe this is a non-official Valve game

@ontheprowl that's what I'm doing, didn't play any of it, waiting for a full release.
I wouldn't even have any problems if it was a 15€ DLC.
And I would also pay for a Opposing Force DLC

And this part by part release is garbage anyway, since you play a part, then one year later another and already forgot everything. Or you re-play it, but then what's the point of spoiling everything for yourself prior? So the smartest move for those who haven't played the OG is to wait for a full release. But that would also be a smarter move in general, to release it, when it's finished.

Nevertheless, it's great work and a brilliant project. Also it's for free, so who can complain.

This will be finished when GTA 7 comes out.

do the authors have boosty or something like that? I want there to be more chapters. I want to read the Blue Shift chapter in its entirety, and I want to know if you need any support.

i really do enjoy this but my main complaint is that xen is just way too long and everything after getting to the relay device/focuser with the xen factory thing at the end should probably be removed or moved to an earlier section before getting to the focuser. i feel it just drags the chapter out and i had no idea what i was doing or why i was there.

Sixth, you guys, the developers, have gone too far with Zen. Honestly, I'm tired of running around there. But the level is varied, so it doesn't let you get bored. It's just annoying.

I give this FULL-FLEDGED expansion a thumbs up. 8.5./10
There's still room for improvement, but it's already very, very good.

Thirdly, the shooting and weapons. To be honest, it's... not very good, to say the least. There are games with much better weapons. Here, they feel like child's play, but somewhere close, especially the grenades and shotgun. The shotgun has a stubborn problem: the buckshot spreads enormously after just ten meters, and the grenades are like firecrackers, leaving no shrapnel.

Fourth, it crashes periodically, very rarely, but it does happen. As for critical bugs and optimization, I haven't encountered any, and there have been almost no FPS drops.

Fifth, yes, there are puzzles where you have to search and think through the solution. But they're not super difficult; believe me, I was a gamer back in the 1990s. We didn't have guides. But here, solving the puzzles depends solely on your attentiveness and nothing more. There are plenty of hints, albeit indirect, throughout the level.

What can I say so far? It's magnificent.

Firstly, the NPCs are superbly done. I literally believe that ALL the people, from the warehouse workers to the marines, are real people. They're beautifully designed and written.

I literally empathize with them.

Secondly, the surrounding world, from the monorail and cafeterias to the laboratories in Xen, is designed as if those same people actually lived, worked, ate, and ultimately died brutal deaths there.
Xen is a whole other story; it's beautiful. You genuinely feel like you're seeing something otherworldly, alien.
(I hate headcrabs)

I see. I was following the youtube channels but I guess the other platforms are more updated

you can follow our discord for occasional updates and our moddb for blog posts

Great to hear!

yes it will be finished, no it's not been abandoned

Has this been abandoned or it's gonna get finished?

Amazing mod, would dare say on par with Black Mesa, maybe even better in quality. Realy hope you guys can work together with Crowbar Collective at some point to make this a full on Offical add-on/DLC for the game instead of just a mod.
The only critique i have is that some puzzles in zen and fight you have against the flying enemys at the tower, you barely get any ammo for your weapons.
Aside from that, i'm looking foward on whats comming next!

I hope you ready for a looong shift!

duty calls

great mod really impressive, good voice acting. Looks and plays great but playing on steam deck, i can't do the teleport puzzle at the end of focal point. i couldnt figure out how to set the controls to actually operate it :(

The first research complex in Focal Point reminds me of the "Peace Like Us" mod from HL1, a mod where laboratories are set up on Xen (except that in this mod the aliens are our friends)

@AdrianDogmeat
Good to know they will make it a proper DLC at some stage.
Regarding oldUI, I have only ever ran the game through oldUI.
Error only occurred during Focal Point.

I just wanted to say thank you for such a great mod, easily my favourite and pinnacle HL experience since HL Alyx, Black Mesa and playthroughs of all previous official HL games / expansions / episodes.. awesome work folks, much thanks.

Слишком круто

Спасибо разработчикам за возможность вернуться в Черную Мезу за Барни

t y for this game

пацаны вообще ребята

@Richo
For one, Crowbar Collective themselves have stated that they have plans to make blue shift a "one-click" mod, instead of the current convoluted installation process
And two, you're having a UI crash (known) - try running the game through oldUI

Almost finished Focal Point. You guys have outdone yourself. When the project is complete please release it as a more than just a mod. Having it as a DLC optional download and an updated launcher to launch Blue Shift or standard would be amazing.

I fear a quality project like this might get overlooked by many if everyone had to go through the mod process.

PS I am getting an error where sometimes I crash upon saving, error message states that the texture res might be too high. I have 32gig of ram and a 7800XT 16gb GPU. I doubt it is a hardware issue.

dont work i cant find the 2424633574 file

you can bring Hat, and Pizza to The End of the game in Black Mesa, what if you bring the ChumFrog Plush all the way to The End? hmmmm.....

The devs of this game are so pretentious. They cant make a real game and release it.

my game run normal until I pause and it freezes on loading, I've tried to launch in old ui, and desable steam overlay but nothing working to me.

My specs:
Intel Core i5-13420H
16 GB DDR5
RTX 3050

You need to be on the latest build of Black Mesa steam version.

im getting alot of missing textures not sure what to do to fix this

when its done, please consider just having it as DLC instead of this weird ass install process

This is a great mod. If BMS is not enough for you you can play this. It's more or less 6 hrs of immersive play! I think I've replayed 3 times in between with the vanilla BMS

do not download this mod its unstablized and doesnt run on the lastest grapthics card or an 3050 TI
