You have a worrying habit of leaving every place you visit in ruin, Sadja

Great game. Too bad we never got that "Adventures of Staffman" sequel.

Just a small glitch happening in an unrelated conversation that made the entire thing funny. The bear is not part of the cutscene, he's just a summoned creature that just stayed there while the characters are talking about something else.

Close-up dialogues were sure a great idea.

I have kind of autohated Rayman's visual style since the beginning of the series.
Can't help it.

haters gonna hate

Started playing Might and Magic I using Grid Cartographer. A lot of grinding going on right now, not sure how I feel about that. The level-ups feel good, though.
Oh, and Grid Cartographer is a nice program.

HD pack is... questionable.
I'd either play it with original assets or just buy Black Mesa and indulge your inner graphics whore.

why

it changes weapons too much (like MP5 to M16), and new models don't gel too well with blocky level geometry.

why

MP5->assault rifle
and
Glock->Beretta
replacement (so them sharing ammo pool no longer makes sense, neither does pistol firing underwater).
Also changing the look and feel of some stuff needlessly (like snark nests).

It's basically an official equivalent of modders gonna mod.

And these days it's not making that much difference IF you really want better looking HL1, because if you do, then BM scratches that itch, and if you want the original experience, then play the original experience with original assets.

Oh yeah I was confused why the Assault Rifle and the pistol share the same ammo lol
Why did they even do that

Because dumb.

In original HL it was 9x19mm Glock and 9x19mm MP5.

 

[schru]

The M16 doesn't even seem to have the same recoil or damage values, or at least the combat feels very different with it somehow. The MP5 is much more pleasing in terms of its appearance and sound. As for the HD pack as a whole, it's not even that it doesn't fit with the otherwise lower-detail environments, it's just not as good stylistically as Valve's designs.

 

[Beowulf]

The M16 was in some older images of HL before it was released.

I cannot help my sense of aesthetics being more demanding than yours, as befits a gentleman (and a scholar)
Even when it comes to platformers:

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Both Ori games are very beautiful, but second one is just fantastic! And I absolutely love how they made Ori move, so smooth. Only complaint for 2 is some of the overly long escape sections and one or two annoying boss.

First one was already fantastic. Second is just hnnng...

My only complaint is some less tight storytelling in 2.

Also in original HL you can reload the glock keeping bullet in the chamber which is a nice little touch.
