There are people on Steam who haven't played Half-Life?
The real ones remember installing games off physical media into Steam. When it was released we were all like "What do we need this for?"
In my case I never had it activated on Steam
I got into PC gaming in 2015 and finished HL2 before HL1 then finished BM instead, so technically I've never touched og HL before
Black Mesa is missing nothing from the original, polished every single aspect of the game to a beautiful shine and it's relatively cheap. You aren't missing anything, it should be considered the definitive way to play the original now IMO.
Apparently elsewhere in the thread people are saying the AI may not be as good.
I remember seeing Half-Life on my friend’s older brother’s computer as a kid, and I never played it. I did play 2, and by the time I considered playing 1, I grabbed Black Mesa because it just looked so much nicer. I enjoyed it for sure. But I also played it before they finished so maybe I should go back and play it again.
I've only ever played HL2 on Orange Box on xbox, but I'm definitely thinking I might have to try the original because I remember HL2 being a good time, for the most part.
