No way these are real people

really cool game I actually really enjoyed it but I also didn't like some parts. I feel like a lot of the stuff I didn't like about it was because I was used to modern games, like throughout the game they don't really tell you what to do or where to go which I found annoying in some parts but it definitely grew on me.

it reminded me a lot of ultrakill, I definitely think the devs of ultrakill were inspired by half life when they made it. but I was definitely used to games like ultrakill or other modern games where it's super obvious where you have to go and what you have to do. but half life is much more open world and free roam with lots of side areas that you can explore but aren't necessary, which made it feel a lot cooler and realistic.

the shooter mechanics and gun design were actually really good for a game made in 1998, probably better than some games today.

the monsters really disturbed me and made me feel uncomfortable, especially the guys that are on the ceiling with the long tongues, I actually had to pause the game and take a break every time I got caught by one of those things.

some things I didn't really like were a lot of the military stuff, a lot of the chapters with a lot of military guys felt pretty lame and repetitive, but most of the time it was fine.

i feel like they should definitely add more health stations, I don't know if it's just how I was playing or if I just suck, but I spent most of the game below 10 hp, which I didn't mind much, but it would have been better to have more health.

i didn't really like the final boss or really any of the chapters on xen, actually most of interloper was pretty good, but I was mostly playing for the industrial aesthetic which is one of the main reason I enjoyed the game, and that got ruined on the xen levels.

overall great game though and I will definitely be playing hl2 soon

favorite chapters: office complex/residue processing/parts of surface tension

least favorite chapters: on a rail/apprehension/xen

favorite gun: revolver

least favorite gun: shotgun

this game is really cool but also annoying sometimes

yeah so i'm on 2 hp and this giant radiation spill has a huge hitbox and i can't jump over it. (half life 1)

checking all the boxes gives the same result. I am going to be a first year student this fall, and at orientation today they said to apply "sooner than later" for housing and that a spot isn't guaranteed. ok.... so I'm just now trying to select a room and apparently there's nothing left? not a single room anywhere? I'm kinda panicking right now because my entire plan was to live on campus. how could it be that there's literally no housing left at all more than a month before school even starts, when over half of all first years commute anyway? someone please help

Dark castle is not multi lane btw

I know I have no money but I get around $5000 before I die usually. This is mostly just focused on who to overclock and when to use abilities
