Black Mesa Inbound vs. Anomalous Materials!

For all the world building that BM:I did, Anomalous Materials has to win for its brilliant scripting.
Imagine how much less impactful Unforeseen Consequences would have been if you weren't travelling back through areas you'd already visited pre-disaster.
It will lose against Unforeseen Consequences, but Anomalous Materials wins this round.

Tough call, I'll have to go with Archie and say Anomalous Materials.
Plus it was the name of the best forum on VERC. RIP.

I'm with Anomalous Materials. It was a great chapter building up the climate.
Dammit, I need to play Half-Life again now!

yep Anomalous Materials.
All that little interactivity!
Turn the lights off on the scientists and they get upset with you, how good was that for 1998

BMI. Anomalous materials is certainly worldbuilding, but the intro is far too unique and iconic in comparison.

Anomalous Materials wins 6-3! Sorry for the delay, I was... busy... not remembering this thing existed!

Whenever Residue Processing is an option, it'll always be the other one. So yeah. UC

What Urby said. RP is the worst chapter in the game. So Unforeseen Consequences.

Posted 6 years ago2018-04-30 19:04:30 UTC
Post #339469
I'm not sure what to think of Residue Processing, but it definitely sticks out from the rest. It plays very differently from nearby chapters and it's good to have some variation. Unforeseen Consequences is a very good start of the game and I think that's my choice.

Post #339478
Unforeseen Consequences wins 8-1! Or maybe 8-0! It hardly matters! We're down to the semifinals, and it really is just a battle between two relatively small sections of the game!

Surface Tension. QE is a masterful use of bounce design, but Surface Tension has more length and bombast.

Tough choice. I love AM for all the interactions, but UC gets an actual gameplay. Therefore, UC!

Unforeseen Consequences. Waking up and backtracking through the ruined labs is still fantastically moody. It's also a nice introduction to the enemies, environmental hazards and general pacing you can expect in the early chapters.

Tough choice, but UC wins this one for me. Both chapters are incredibly atmospheric, but UC is even atmospheric, has a gameplay, and was also quite shocking and scary the first few times I played through it.
