For real because this is a long game with a lot going on. It's hard for an old game. Hard to figure out what you're supposed to do at times, which is why I'm here! Not that I can't figure it out, but I don't need a game to take up months of my time. I'm in it for the story so I can get to HL2.
Your not wrong, just got my PC today and started playing games on it for the first time and I was worried I would suck at games since I was a console player. Thankfully, Half Life came to my life and helped a ton.
I always keep coming back playing the original HL because there are things that charming about it. Especially the low quailty sounds. I love the footsteps sound and I don't even know why.
Wow! Excellent play through I remember playing this game on pc when I was a kid my mom had died in March and I was still depressed and my cousin came to visit and brought me his copy of half life I remember saying thanks and went back to sleep. Then a few days I decided to play I was hooked immediately! That day I played from 9am Saturday until Sunday 6am. I remember seeing everything in pixelization that morning . I went to sleep for 3 hours woke up had breakfast and went back to it. I wasn’t into playing video games but that summer of 2001 this game and so many others became part of my grieving process. I recall this gameplay fondly and it was therapeutic for me!
@@spiritual2390 That's cause back then the devs went to university for half their lives. Today, game devs just aren't as smart. Half life is seriously better than GTA 5 in some gameplay aspects.
Wow, really nice play through. I love how the player shakes his head during certain conversations. The comedic value is awesome! I’ve been trying to play this game on the quest in VR and whenever I get stuck I come back here. Tnx mate!
1:34:30 - I remember the first time I reached that point, playing late at night with headphones on, and completely immersed in the game. Made me jump like a mofo.
My biggest enemies in this game are the damn headcrabs. I watch this video, and play along with it, in case there are headcrabs beind the corner, or in vents. This video saved me from many heart attacks during my Half-Life playthrough! Thanks!
For me personally the best FPS ever - and also the first which I completed from start to finish together with a friend of mine. Back then we met regularly on afternoons after school to play the game, which cemented our early friendship. This was 22 years ago and we're still friends who like to play FPS games together (online) in our spare time. :)
Thanks for these HL1 videos! They're fun to watch, and for the past few days I've had them running as 'background noise' while working, checking up on progress and looking when I notice a part coming up that I like. I must've watched this video alone like 4-5x this week
Anybody who beat this game legit (no help at all) way back in the day (or in 2020) deserves a lot of credit. Not an easy game, IMO...but an awesome one...even twenty+ years later.
1:49:00 kills me. Every other thing at Black Mesa I can work out as some sort of experiment or research. This? Dr. Stevens squandered his grant money, panicked, and strapped some knives to a motor.
2:31:28 LOL the door wouldn't open, I tried jumping through the window for like 15min until I knew something was wrong with the game. Had to reload an auto save.
this game is up there with doom in importance, imho. doom showed the way, half-life showed the way could have a decent color palette and a setting beside dreary hellscape corridors

It absolutely blows my mind that Xen in the original game is 20 minutes, and 4-6 hours in Black Mesa.
If you didn't play this on a Pentium I with 32MB of RAM that struggled HARD to run the game, you didn't live, you half-lived :P. It took ~1 minute to load a new level or reload the last save when you died. Waiting for 1 minute to reload if you died added to the horror element. Real consequences for dying, you paid the price! :O Furthermore, when you cleared an area and saw "Loading..." on your screen, there was a real sense of achievement, "Oh yeah! Next stage! Wonder what happens further ahead O_O" I got so immersed in this world that any fake door made me wonder what's behind it, even if, technically, nothing was behind it. But for me, Black Mesa was real, and there was something behind every door, places I could not go to, places that made me imagine what could be there. What an incredible experience. That's what Half-Life was, an experience, not a game.
I played this back in 2000, I can't tell you the impact it had on me. Even today I still think of that time, it wasn't the game as much as it was the experience; one I'll never forget. Is it me or does anyone else feel this?
Black Mesa: we are better than Aperture Science Also Black Mesa: Aperture Science employee: ok working here wasn't safe either but it was much safer than working in a place with radiation, chemicals and zombies
The Nihilanth bossfight is probably the creepiest part of this game. Half Life focuses on action rather than horror, but I sort of liked this one more than the battle from Black Mesa.The Nihilanth's emotionless face and no music being present makes this feel more like a horror game.
For anyone who got stuck at a few parts where no talking sort of doesn't help, here is my tips, I'll add more if I have any more hang ups. 1. To make the high jumps, you need to crouch-jump / jump-crouch. 2. To turn the handle for surface access, or any other knob type object for that matter; HOLD E. Not just press, hold. When I got to that part I thought the level was glitching when it barely moved.
I like how in the beginning the voice in the train it sounded good and then after the soldier guy came and open the door at the audio just turned shitty
1:14:03 I love it how stupid those guys were. I like to think that this is how it went: HECU 1: Hey, Jeff, did you hear that? HECU 2: Hear what? HECU 1: I thought I heard footsteps. HECU 2: Well, if there is somebody sneaking around, we're good as long as you remembered not to leave the browning on. HECU 1: uhmmmmmmmm.............................
1:56:56 something about that low quality skybox background stands out to me in a similar sense of nostalgia (even though i wasn't even around when this game came out), idk what it is or why
3:45 The Black Mesa Research Facility is an equal opportunity employer.... ....AKA you are all expendable, and you have multiple opportunities in how you die.
Half Life ruined all FPS games for me that came after. The constant tension and sense of foreboding made me edgy throughout the whole game. The puzzles were challenging the first time through and the music and sound effects added to the already eerie atmosphere. This game blew my mind when it came out, I never had the same feeling with any other game since then.
I feel like it's hard to overstate how revolutionary the start of this game was. I don't think anyone had ever tried something like it before, starting with a normal day and showing you the disaster rather than just putting a few lines in the manual about it.
playing this in vr made it even all more legendary, I cant believe I waited til now to play this seeing how good it was the story, I sidelined it to play dukenukem
I had an uncle who passed away when I was a baby, my brothers told me about him a lot when I was growing up. Learning he used to play games on his pc back in the 2000s, Quake III and Counter Strike were his favorite games. Eventually I just happened to start playing Half Life and other PC games, my parents start telling me I remind them of him since I'm playing games that he would play. I wonder if he liked Half Life as well, never actually met the guy but judging by the shit my brothers told me he would've been pretty fucking cool to hang with lol. I have what I think is his copy of Counter Strike. Hope I'm making him proud

Those were the good ole days. Ran mine on a Pentium 2 though.
I played this back in 2000, I can't tell you the impact it had on me. Even today I still think of that time, it wasn't the game as much as it was the experience; one I'll never forget.
Is it me or does anyone else feel this?
Black Mesa: we are better than Aperture Science
Also Black Mesa:
Aperture Science employee: ok working here wasn't safe either but it was much safer than working in a place with radiation, chemicals and zombies
16:36 the beginning of a beautiful friendship
The Nihilanth bossfight is probably the creepiest part of this game. Half Life focuses on action rather than horror, but I sort of liked this one more than the battle from Black Mesa.The Nihilanth's emotionless face and no music being present makes this feel more like a horror game.
For anyone who got stuck at a few parts where no talking sort of doesn't help, here is my tips, I'll add more if I have any more hang ups.
1. To make the high jumps, you need to crouch-jump / jump-crouch.
2. To turn the handle for surface access, or any other knob type object for that matter; HOLD E. Not just press, hold. When I got to that part I thought the level was glitching when it barely moved.
2:32:51 Scientist; "You don't look as if you have any trouble killing things."
Freeman: Proceeds to kill the scientist
Hooray for Half-Life! 20 Years is long. Will have to play it again soon!
I still think this is objectively the best game ever made.
I like how in the beginning the voice in the train it sounded good and then after the soldier guy came and open the door at the audio just turned shitty
Finally! The original Half Life walktrough!
User 26 its here because yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the games release
r/woooooooosh
@@Carcosahead that's not how it works
Carcosa are you stupid or what
You can't woosh him because there was no joke to begin with.
Half Life: 10-13 hours of non stop gameplay !
Bolloxed: Hold my beer !
3 fricking hours
quadrazid: Nah, hold MY beer.
Valve is probably throwing the biggest secret party in the headquarters rn
As a valve employee, I can confirm that
@@theblinkstykrab3106 be careful, you'll get in big trouble if that news spreads
Likely a party for the Artifact beta.
@@theblinkstykrab3106 i maybe can get r/woooshed but i think ur not a valve employee
@@OpposingFork yes because they are real gamers
How Gordon ,who did not know the appearance of a gun becomes a weapon master
*laughs in Hazard Course*
badass playthrough!! just starting this game even though its been on my radar for like 20 years lol. good job
2:14:39 that Bradley just smashed through the frickin wall. Lol
01:33:49 When five seconds have passed and you can now skip the ad.
A legendary game...
1:14:03 I love it how stupid those guys were. I like to think that this is how it went:
HECU 1: Hey, Jeff, did you hear that?
HECU 2: Hear what?
HECU 1: I thought I heard footsteps.
HECU 2: Well, if there is somebody sneaking around, we're good as long as you remembered not to leave the browning on.
HECU 1: uhmmmmmmmm.............................
Still the best intro to any game, imo.
1:56:56 something about that low quality skybox background stands out to me in a similar sense of nostalgia (even though i wasn't even around when this game came out), idk what it is or why
3:45 The Black Mesa Research Facility is an equal opportunity employer....
....AKA you are all expendable, and you have multiple opportunities in how you die.
HAHAHA I love the turn and shoot at the vat at 1:37:58 as revenge for the slip...something I would have done. 🤣
The only problem with Half-Life games is that after you play them, other FPSs feel life they are in slow-motion.
Half Life ruined all FPS games for me that came after. The constant tension and sense of foreboding made me edgy throughout the whole game. The puzzles were challenging the first time through and the music and sound effects added to the already eerie atmosphere. This game blew my mind when it came out, I never had the same feeling with any other game since then.
Ever played the original DOOM? That one makes even Half-Life seem like it's in slow motion.
That you can do this entire game without any deaths is simply amazing! Well done!
Gosh.. I just replayed HL for the 1st time after more than 20 yrs and it still holds up well!
Thank you for this walkthrough you really help people a lot
Maybe Black Mesa? THAT WAS A JOKE, HA HA, FAT CHANCE!
That's a bad joke I ever heard
Nice one
U don't need chell to make a mess at black mesa, they'll do it themselves
@@ifitsnotbrokedontfixit24435 learn how to English please
@@gladosbutstupid8807 Нет
I actually just got this game today. Played it for 30 minutes. Loving it so far!
I always felt soo good and relax in watching sky and sunshine after prolonged indoor levels
You usually play Half Life related stuff the day after release, but I think you're... exactly 20 years late with this one
im 18 yrs late to play it
I like how those little spider things kinda just stand there when they miss your head. They just like: oh I screwed.
And you like: bruh.
You mean headcrabs?
You commented three times on this video
I feel like it's hard to overstate how revolutionary the start of this game was. I don't think anyone had ever tried something like it before, starting with a normal day and showing you the disaster rather than just putting a few lines in the manual about it.
Still legendary to this day.
playing this in vr made it even all more legendary, I cant believe I waited til now to play this seeing how good it was the story, I sidelined it to play dukenukem
I had an uncle who passed away when I was a baby, my brothers told me about him a lot when I was growing up. Learning he used to play games on his pc back in the 2000s, Quake III and Counter Strike were his favorite games. Eventually I just happened to start playing Half Life and other PC games, my parents start telling me I remind them of him since I'm playing games that he would play.
I wonder if he liked Half Life as well, never actually met the guy but judging by the shit my brothers told me he would've been pretty fucking cool to hang with lol.
I have what I think is his copy of Counter Strike. Hope I'm making him proud
