    This might actually be among the worst games I've ever had the misery of playing.
    The fact they want $24.99 for this broken ripoff is just the semen on the cake.

    For those saying crouch jump, that was among the things I had tried and no dice. This footage is from after I’d lost my temper with it.

      This bothered me so much I double checked a walkthrough, one that mentions crouch jumps. No mention for that segment. It was deffo just fuckin’ borked. You’re meant to be able to just “drop down” that gap but I couldn’t.

      So I watched another video on this game, and there's apparently a parkour system? Maybe you need to use that? (Not that I'm suggesting you go back into this game, of course.)

    The saddest part is that Valve green lighted these guys to use their Half-Life IP to be sold on Steam. Anyone who says "oh but this was a community project mod" can fuck off because it's no longer a mod, it's now its own individual game being sold for $25.

      Nigralurker valve allows source engine games even if it uses their assets to be put in a paid game.

    • @AROAH
      @AROAH 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nigralurker from my understanding, the dev(s) paid for the rights to use the Source engine for a commercial game, which includes the option to use the Valve game assets included.

      Saw this in my discovery queue and thought it looked bad and a glance at the negative response seemed to confirm that, but I had no idea it was this bad or noticed how much they wanted for it.
      I'm almost certain that they were hoping to piggyback on the Half-life name and get as many sales as possible for that $25 before word spread about it.

    The most depressing thing is that this is probably the closest we'll ever get to a Half Life 3...
    EDIT: Also, I'm curious, what exactly is the legality of all this? Surely this game would have to be Valve-sanctioned right? Do they not give a fuck about their IP?

    • @sophiaisbased9621

      @kinoepigrafe 6 ปีที่แล้ว +81

      Nope, much like Prospekt, Valve doesn't really seem to care about quality control as long as it makes them money. Hell, I'm sure they wouldn't even mind if someone made their own Half Life 3 and sent it through Direct.

      Boreal Alyph or Project Borealis will get closer than this, lol (for transparency's sake, I'm a lead dev of BA)
      Also, Valve is really relaxed with their IP, which is why we haven't seen any action from them.

    • @isaacargesmith8217
      @isaacargesmith8217 6 ปีที่แล้ว +49

      I mean they let it on sooo... The thing is valve has let fan works on before. The black mesa project and Sven Coop for example are good examples of this working out well. The difference is that, while some actually ARE pretty good and some are even amazing, you also open the opportunity for shit like this to get on.

    • @matthiassmedlarsen3676

    Look how high-res yet boring those textures in the elevator were. Apparently there are models and textures in this game with WAY higher polycounts and texture size than what's necessary. Like, 10x the polygons needed, or the shotgun loading almost a gigabyte of materials to render it. It's a technical nightmare.

    • @Masta200
      @Masta200 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Actually most of the data is coming from the cutscenes apparantly. They messed up and uploaded the wrong version on launch. There were no cutscenes, as well as bugs, maps were outdated and incorrect assets. Apparantly the real version is coming out March 5th. It doesn't take away from the fact that the game is shitty though. Besides the damage is already done, as it never should have released in this state.

    • @Walterbgaming
      @Walterbgaming 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The combine has a 4K texture with 2 yes 2 Normal maps (making one go unused) that total in 256 MB for 3 textures one going unused.
      Ow and the quality isn't visibly improved over the original combine soldier texture.

      FoxHunter Spoiler, it turns out as an incredibly lame twist that the guy in the HEV suit at the beginning is not even Freeman, but one of your military buddy that got time travelled by the G-man to betray you. The whole plot is very convoluted, it spits into the face of the Half-life lore, and the lead developer of this mod even credited Hideo Kojima in the end credits as inspiration. I'm not even joking, it's real.

    • @berpipo

  • @streak1burntrubber
    @streak1burntrubber 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Regarding the stolen asset accusations, some of them include the original Valve assets. There's a part of the game (which of course Jim didn't get to because the game is too shit) where you go to a slightly edited version of the original City 17 map and witness a suicide bombing for seemingly no reason. This is among other slightly edited valve maps from the original game. There are also some assets from various TTT maps and such, so there's more chances for stolen assets than just Valve's.
    I mean, yea, it's technically an accusation that they stole the assets, but what are the chances that they actually went to Valve and were able to get permission to use them in a shit game like this?
    I'd expect this to be taken down in the near future. Given that they almost certainly stole Valve assets and put them in a $25 game, I'd imagine that this is one of the few situations where Valve would give a shit and take it down. Then again, who knows with them?

    • @Rune77

      Who in their right mind makes a game related to Half Life and ads CUTSCENES?! One of the greatest things about the Half Life series was the ability to tell a good story WITHOUT cutscenes. The real sad part? Whoever made them does have some talent with SFM, and it feels like somebody made some great SFM footage and just wanted to tack a game onto them, in the worst possible way.

      It has a good reason that you can't just jump it. It's based on Half Life/TF2/Counter Strike. It's just about to high for a basic jump. In any Valve server in TF2 you find new players getting stuck like this.
      And really crouch jumping is more like how you in real life would have to use your hands and pull yourself up the wall. Due to animations and gameflow reasons insted you jump and push your legs up into the air and work around the wall clime

    Jim, ERROR messages in mods and whatnot using the Source usually means that it's content your PC doesn't recognize because you don't have those particular textures installed. An example is like in Gary's Mod and any of the many videos on TH-cam by other youtubers. They'll sometimes play a game of Prop Hunt and see multiple ERRORs everywhere. So basically, the developer used other mod/source content from a different game(I suppose would be the example to take from) to put more unique assets in the game.
