Half-Life for dreamcast!!

Post by **megadethdrumfire** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 9:10 pm

Hey just wanted to see what you guys think of the half life beta for DC? I love it! Blue Shift runs great, it looks alot better then the original PC version of Half LIfe and i have played through it at least 5 times! but the main half-life game has a very unstable framerate.

Load times are a drag. I got about halfway through the game and then the game glitched up at one part and ruined my save. I hvane't played it since.

Yeah the load times got to me as well. It was a thrill to see it running on the machine though.

it always feels weird to me with the controller... keyboard and mouse just fit the game better (just my opinion)

That was what stopped me from enjoying it.

You guys should have played it with the DC keyboard and mouse like I did then

I think I prefer HL1:Source on PC with the third-party upgrades. Thanks.

I didn't mean to sound rude. I just think games like HL, UT, and Q3 on Dreamcast all lost their importance, once even the most meager retail PCs at walmart became strong enough to play all these games smoothly, and they still have active online communities. Very active.

Half Life 1's is fairly dead, even on steam. I went five hours online once with some friends, jumping from server to server and we only found two games with real people in it. Oddly, Daikatana had 30 active games with no bots (roughly 100 people).
