Black Mesa "more or less complete" (+100 new pics) - Games

Even though this may not be the best looking game/mod out there, cant we just be happy its comming out, instead of bashing it? [editline]12:26AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Tk1138;24507193]The guy wasn't running it at max.[/QUOTE] Lets hope

The lack of detail layers on the textures makes me think that the computer these screenshots were done on was a piece of crap running on medium settings. It doesn't look too bad and it's on par with source standards, so I don't see why you guys are bitching.

I remember back in 06-07 these screenshots looked like shit (in the good meaning) - No one ever saw such graphics in source engine. Now, every modern valve game (best example is alien swarm) looks way better than BMS. Altrough the graphics are on the same level that made us "WOW" back then, they will not be as good nowadays. Sometimes long development isn't good.

The guy was running on a shitty computer. Not running the game on max settings. Running through and taking screenshots of EVERYTHING even stuff he shouldn't be playing because the game ISN'T FINISHED YET. "More or less finished" is what Atomic said. And what Atomic said doesn't mean shit.

[QUOTE=eXeC64;24499353]I wish people would stop saying it's the best mod for half-life 2 based on screenshots and 1 trailer. You haven't played it, you haven't a clue about how good it is. Crysis looks very nice visually, the screenshots and trailers 'wow' people but as a game it wasn't really that good. Stop pretending you know how good the mod is because you really don't.[/QUOTE] Shut up and get out. How the fuck can it be bad ? The screenshots look really awesome, and the gameplay cant be bad because they're just copying HL1 with that one.

[QUOTE=zeldar;24506621]wow this looks so bad what happened[/QUOTE] It's not finished. :colbert:

ITT: People shitting on other people's amazing work, while creating nothing ever themselves. I can't believe this, everyone over here used to love following this development, now everyone is crying and whining about it like on hlfallout.

[QUOTE=shill le 2nd;24506483]yeah but that doesn't mean he was [i]in the room[/i].. people put stuff in the microwave and then leave to do important business[/QUOTE] While I don't disagree with this I do have to wonder what the hell was wrong with Magnusson. "Oh shit the whole place is falling apart and there are zombies and aliens everywhere! I better make sure my casserole is okay!"

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;24509099]No, the Black Scientist at the table (always black) yells "My god! What are you doing?".[/QUOTE] I could have sworn someone yelled something about their casserole.

WTF!? A SHADOW BUG? IN A MOD GlVEN TO ME TOTALLY FREE BY UNPAID DEVELOPERS? IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT OH MY GOSH

This argument isn't valid. Do I have to make a movie to call it bad? Movie critics don't make movies. Why should I have to make a mod to say a mod is shit? And don't get me wrong, I'm in love with BMS, but you're retardedness can't go overlooked.

this thread is great i remember when you were all super hyped about BMS when it was first being shown off and it looked like shit then, too i mean, honestly. it's half-life with updated graphics. big whoop. it's still going to have lame gameplay. [editline]02:42AM[/editline] stop acting disappointed. it was destined to be shit -- just like nuclear dawn

Stop bitching about people bitching. Yes, I believe BMS will be a great mod. Yes, I will play it, and probably enjoy it. I appriciate the Devs' work. I can still have an opinion, though. I expected it to look better. I'd say it looks even worse that some mods. I just hope the guy who has taken the screenshots wasn't runing on high settings.

Stop judging the entire mod from one chapter. Edit: [Quote=JamesKane]The Xen you see blanked out is from AM where you are teleported to Xen for a brief second. [i]Also, the build orcone had was not up to date.[/i] We have Xen locked down so leaks like the following wont show its progress.[/quote] [quote=stormseeker]It's mostly that alot of the things shown are far from being polished to the standards we normally would show in media, like the whiteboard details which are best left to be seen in game.[/quote] I rest my case.

I am judging the mod by the material that is available.

[QUOTE=JurajIsNotPirat;24510684]I am judging the mod by the material that is available.[/QUOTE] You're going to judge it by leaked material that wasn't ready to be shown in the first place?

This thread is a troll restaurant

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;24510705]You're going to judge it by leaked material that wasn't ready to be shown in the first place?[/QUOTE] Yeah

[QUOTE=JurajIsNotPirat;24510684]I am judging the mod by the material that is available.[/QUOTE] That isn't an accurate representation of the mod.

[QUOTE=Chrille;24511508]That isn't an accurate representation of the mod.[/QUOTE] And how would you know what an accurate representation is? Do you happen to have access to some more recent build that is magically better than whatever Atomic reviewed? Actually, whatever these screenshots depict is the most accurate representation of the mod we have, considering the developers' self-imposed media black-out and the carefully inspected media releases.

Hmmmm.... wait? I just invalidated your logic. Stop being such a fanboy about BMS and judge it when you've actually played it, not when you've just been taken in by all the hype the team has put around it.

Something tells me I should never come back to this thread. It's become a shitstorm of "see, I told you it would be shit" comments, followed by "shut the fuck up it's free you can't do better", and so on.

This guy just took pictures of everything he saw, much of it unfinished and unpolished.

Why are we discussing Shrek in a thread about something unrelated?
