If you're playing the 1st game (weren't you playing Half-Life 2? Maybe I misread your post), you'll be missing out on Xen's many improvements too, it's not only the graphics.
Well, or you could go all in and compare both
I played HL2 and expansions years ago, but never played the original.
I'm not sure I'll have the patience to play both. Unless there's significant improvements to Black Mesa. I'll have to see.
Right now I spent 10 minutes just spining around, in the blast pit, after getting the power back on to kill the alien tentacle thing. I couldn't for the life of me figure out where I'm supposed to go. And after watching a youtube playthrough I figured out that I wasn't crouching when trying to crowbar the metal grate blocking my descent int o tube. And then it hit me, that indeed when I tried to crowbar the grate it made no sound. But apparently I never put 2 and 2 together to figure out that I wasn't hitting it. Idiot.
Oh, and to make it doubly embarassing, I then had a hard time figuring out I had to jump into the air tunnel to be lifted. Damn, seem I'm rusty in my logic puzzles. I backtracked all the way back thinking that maybe the fuel door had opened for some reason.
