  • Have to admit this was by far my favorite part of a single player game. Really enjoyed the music by Joel Nielson. Really resonates well for what it was trying to portray for your final climb before the last boss.
    Have to admit it does feel good to get back into content creation. Just gonna find what I enjoy most in games and post em up. Whatever it is, hope ya enjoy!

    Oh my god, the part where they pull the elevator back down and shatter the windows around you, destroying their own creation just to have one last chance to stop you, REALLY gives you the feeling that whatever you're about to face, it will decide the fate of both earth and the border world.

    This part was the climax of Black Mesa. Its the part that shows the epitome of how much of a badass Gordon Freeman really was back there to justify why everyone treats him as a living legend in Half Life 2. Even with all the lag I got in that part, it was still one of my best modern gaming moments. Nihilanth battle was awesome as well, but lacked the thrilling soundtrack (though I concur with them not adding a pumped soundtrack on his battle)

    I love how you pretty much have to use the Gluon Gun during this section, after getting it in Lambda Core and barely being able to use it because it'd chew through its own already rare ammo in seconds. And then you get to the final stretch of the game, and suddenly it has infinite ammo.
