Holy crap, I can't believe this finally released!
Looks incredible. Can't wait to try this out.
Can't wait to try this out when i get home.
My motherboard died earlier this week and took my CPU with it..... this was the worst week ever for this to happen, bewteen this and borderlands 2............
Downloading now...
man thats a lot of downloading...
Its only 4GB. I'll definitely be trying this out soon. I never fully beat HL1, so I may actually get through this. Although, I think I read that it stops short of the ending?Quote:

Yep, it ends before the trip to Xen.Quote:

While I do agree with that, for someone who never completed the game, I think Xen is still important to experience.Quote:

Who knows! It took them 8 years to get this much done, so I wouldn't hold my breath for the whole thing to be released any time soon.Quote:

There is no reason for you not to play it SewerUrchin. You will still find it to be a great gaming experience.
However if you don't mind old-school graphics, I highly recommend you pick up the original HL and play it first. It truly was a ground breaking game and we owe a lot to it.
And once you get T-bagged by the "Bouncy Testicle Monster" you will realize why most of us hate Xen with a passion.
But with that said... once the Black Mesa team releases Xen I will download it and play it.

I admire their dedication ...taking this amount of time to do something for free....and yet people will still complain about how long it took.
Sorry , instant gratification lovers.
I think this free game is still way better than most of the over-priced games on the market.
Well, that's because it's just a graphical enhancement to one of the greatest games ever made. :)Quote:
