overproduced? yesludo redesigned bossfight? yes
>>738452157Growing up is to realize that Half Life osts were just samples playing over other samples.Kelly Bailey was a hack.
>>738452157Which had the better ending theme tho?HL1https://youtu.be/xKuT8f7gSXA?si=AlW-qZWZNVMyeW6jBlack Mesahttps://youtu.be/wvmLsfheiEA?si=o1zJmxUT9r-mx-Z9
>>738452662tbf he was hired as a sound programmer and had to throw all of it together really quicklythe later games are way more original

Both are perfectly fine and can co-exist. Hl1 does gameplay better. BMS does setting and worldbuilding better.>Play HL1>HECU is getting its ass kicked>FORGET ABOUT FREEMAN WE ARE LEAVING>Next time you see the soldiers they're just chillin>Play BMS>HECU is getting its ass kicked>FORGET ABOUT FREEMAN WE ARE LEAVING.>Actually get a scene where the military is GTFOing with arguably the best music in the game.
Gonarch fight from half life 1>Spasming shitcrab tries to go after you at a brisk walk through 3 short rooms while a bunch if crackheads pretend they're making music by hitting pots and pansGonarch fight from Black Mesa Source:>Chapter long bossfight between man and demigod, where the roles of predator and prey constantly shift. The Gonarch is aggressive as fuck.I know which one I preffer.
>>738452157Imagine if the morphball was in that sac hahaha!
>>738452157Is it the OG teabagger? I remember looking up at that hairy sack many a time
I might be the only one in the world who thinks Black Mesa's Xen is an utter masterpiece. I loved it so much.
>>738452157Yeah, BM one is overproduced and shares nothing with the original. Mod team got too far up their own ass.
>>738456275>and shares nothing with the original.It straight up has the same drum line in several parts.
Why are modders so bad at creating good aesthetics?
>>738458356xen looks so ass in black mesaturned that shit into a generic alien jungle when it was a shithole wasteland the aliens escaped to
>>738452157I want to impregnate her big sack thing
Reminder that the wet slapping footstep noises you make on Xen were recordings of the sound engineer slapping his wife's ass with a wet hand.
>>738453290I like Half Life 2's ending theme mosthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlU0GvSZpUE
>>738452157all of black mesa's aesthetic choices suck fucking ass
>>738452157BM's gonarch fight music suits the fight very well, which is, by the way, significantly better in basically every way compared to HL1. Gonarch is the best part of BM's Xen.
>>738452662If you can leave a strong impression, it really doesn't matter the method they used. What are you grading? The end result, of course.
>>738455679Gonarch battle was stupidly long and overstayed its welcome in BM. Like... OK I get it. Big headcrab. Why am I still fighting this thing? You'd swear Gordan and Gonarch were arch rivals from 50 years of history together or something the way they chose to keep dragging this shit out. Gonarch is NOT the Joker to Gordon's Batman. It's just a big dumb animal that Gordon stomped while it kept shitting its babies at him.
>>738452157BM is awesome. So much better than the cobbled together in a redo haste hl1. This goes triple for xen that is one of the most atrocious worst level design in vydia. Barely below residue processing that is a literal sewer level the level designer, dario, intended the player to be a piece of turd floating through the machinery. Always ended a run in hl1 with the lambda teleporter after suffering through xen two times (never again)Only thing i think is weaker in BM is specific environmental sound design. Explosions and electric crackles for example. Compare original resonance cascade in anomalous materials to BM and the "softness" of it sticks out
>>738452157black mesa XEN is the epitome of soulless, and boring to boot
>>738467006Better figjtnin for 20 minutes at diferent stages that 20 min in the arena.
>>738452662>samples playing over other sampleswow anon, congrats, you've just deconstructed electronic music in the most condescending way imaginable to sound like a pretentious cunt.
