It's actually an independent game, not a DLC

Half Life, the first game

Never played the backstory until now, Steam Fall Sale 99cents.

About to get ambushed, I do believe.

It took you until now to literally lose your virginity? Be prepared to be purchasing the rest.

LOL, purchased and played through the Orange Box way back in 2014, but yea, still took me a long time.

This original from 1998 is amazing. Wish I had been there on launch day...

Can understand why Gabe is Gabe. lol

You should most definitely check out Black Mesa it's still in Beta but has now been released complete
For the record I also started on the Orange box so we both pretty much lost out virginity at the same time(Or maybe it was Silver Box?) Regardless it was when I got my Steam account. 500 games later and still waiting for the ending for HL. But I think I'm going to settle on Black Mesa as its had so much love put into it

@E-curbi https://store.steampowered.com/app/362890/Black_Mesa/ I notice it does cost a little now(I have had the beta forever) But I assure you its worth the price

Thanks, I'll do that. Since I'm only on Chapter 8 of Half Life and it's all fresh and brand new around every corner.

Am kinda having difficulty with jumps, that rail cart wow, I always over jump or under jump and fall into the water. 7 attempts to get back onto the rail cart. lol

Well good news when you get to Black Mesa he made jumping a little less frustrating

Ruru · Dec 19, 2019

Never been into the HL games, at least not yet. I was a console kid when HL1 was the shit, and didn't have a capable PC when HL2 came out. I do have all Valve's games though, I guess I'll start playing them some day.

Just started Bioshock Infinite.

Yea, I'm falling all the time on those LONG jumps, hitting hard on the space bar. lol

Grabbed Black Mesa from the Steam Winter Sale 20% off $15.99, cool. :clap:

Downloading now...

Chomiq · Dec 19, 2019

Darksiders 3, lasted 10 minutes, rage quit, uninstalled. Whoever came up with "Let's throw boss fight within first 5 minutes of gameplay" deserves to be fired. Luckily I got it on game pass so no $ wasted.

I turned 30 in June and I have never played any of the Half Life games. I watched my brother play the hell out of HL 2, but I never played

Hmm thats a genuine grey area, perhaps you; watched the porn at least but still hard to settle.

E-curbi · Dec 19, 2019

Black Mesa looks great! :clap:

Think I'll play to Chapter 8 same location where I'm saved in the 1998 version - if it's been developed that far...

Woohoo, busty brunettes in glasses are my thing. lol

Every computer I touch bluescreens - just like real life. :roll:

This also is an independent game in the story, a standalone expansion, if you will. It concludes up the tale begun in Dishonored (Dishonored may be the perfection of a single player game, IMO).

Yep, everything until Xen is finished. Now Xen is in public beta, so we are close to the entire game being finished.

This is correct. I have both, they are independent and fully functional games .

29 here and like I said, never played those actually. At least not that much that I could remember a thing about HL games.

Splinterdog · Dec 19, 2019

Oldie but goldie.
Opera House in TRII, which can be a tad confusing at times.

Wanna hear something sad? I could never get into any of them. It was the play controls and camera angles. Just didn't jive with me. And yet I still own them... :banghead:

Same here, and now they're way too old. I love retro games, but some of the early PS1 era games are just.... too old

Splinterdog · Dec 19, 2019

I know what you both mean and when I start them up, I forget that they don't have mouse control or anything fancy like that.
TRII is the first PC game I got hooked on (Pentium II 266) so I get drawn back, like The Ring to Gollum.

Right and games like Street Fighter series Puzzle Fighter, Pocket Fighter, Legend Of Mana, Final Fantasy 9, the Alundra's and a few others have a special place in my heart...
