I could forgive all of this if we got more of the story other than Xen is used as an aid for teleportation. Anyway, I'm almost done with BS now and while it's better than I remembered, it is still lacking content. There's no reasoning because you only have opinions and I have facts.

There is no reasoning with people like you. Missing weapons, lack of puzzles, missing enemies, and short is this game's problem. I understand that due to canon they couldn't really do much with Barney's story because they're limited by what was found in HL. I'm not even saying it's bad, just demonstrably worse than HL and the previous expansion OF.
