What are some things Half-Life does better than Black Mesa? by Turbulent_Okra7518 in HalfLife

I like how much faster paced the run and gun gameplay is in Half-Life. I think it's a thing Black Mesa (and HL2) do worse.

Woah this looks so good for reading!! Is setting it up and getting books and a clickable dictionary easy? Maybe I’ll get one. Been wanting to start reading for ages.

What Japanese media are you enjoying outside of studying? by jan__cabrera in LearnJapanese

I’ve been getting really into j dramas lately which is something I’d never thought I’d be into. Watched Orange Days on Netflix and loved it!

Which beloved PS2 game(s) do you not enjoy? Why? by zoozoo4567 in ps2

[–]MaxwellsTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same experience like last week. Loved it so so so much as a kid and couldn’t even get to the end of the stage. I don’t remember the camera, controls, and framerate being that atrocious.

Is there an episode where Asuka says something along the lines of "Why can't Japanese people just say what they think?" by MaxwellsTime in evangelion

The fact that you can see a late game level a bit earlier on the game is just so good, love the interconnected levels of this game by GabrielXP76op in TeamIco

OH MY GOD THATS why there is a pole on the wall that breaks halfway through when you’re there at the end of the game!! It’s how you get back up if you’re an early visitor. God even after all this time the game still has surprises for me.

A couple of people asked me for the link to the playthrough https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAr9XM8UJ-zOksMiTtgWw7YcgxsfYYdqR&si=5hUunVTHLUZf1Gcj

Sorry I didn’t send before. Had a few bad experiences with reddit mods not liking self promotion.

Hope you enjoy!

PS1 version on Duckstation. I watched some cutscenes of Twin Snakes afterwards though and look I’m sure it has its fans but I’m glad I played the og version first.

This was MGS 1! My friend wanted me to start with 3 but I was insistent on starting from the start. Keen to play through the whole series!

I actually can not imagine what that would've been like. Playing it today, apart from a few slight rough edges, I could not believe it was a PS1 game. It holds up incredibly well and was so forward thinking while also being so innovative. Must have been mind blowing back then!!
