Beyond Black Mesa - General

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;27593407]Why can't you guys just sit there and enjoy the goddamn movie[/QUOTE] Because It's supposed to be in the "Half Life Universe" which it did a poor job of. [editline]22nd January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=TheDudeGuy;27591000]And I didn't like how the health vials... ...were neon colored. It just doesn't make much sense to me. [/QUOTE] Maybe it's because thats how they were In-game so the decided to mimic that.

[QUOTE=ZombieWaffle;27593407]Why can't you guys just sit there and enjoy the goddamn movie[/QUOTE] People don't usually enjoy crappy things.

What was up with the complete lack of actual acting? Were the actors just so terrible that they muted everyone and just put in some cheesy voice over?

It was inspired it wasn't suppose to be a fucking HL2 movie for fuck sakes, give them credit for atleast making it and getting it finished.

[QUOTE=Binladen34;27568591]Very nice visuals, sound effects, story and music selection. But god dammit, it's too short. They over hyped this. Everyone expected it to be a full movie.[/QUOTE] Then send them cash, and lots of it.

At the start of the video I was like "Quick! leave the asian guy! He's already doomed!"

I don't ever remember having a mexican standoff with a metrocop or having to fight them with backflips. That part was just fucking dumb, the CP would've shot him straight away instead of "hurp durp I am s0 xXbadasssssXx"-ing all over it.

Horrible.

[QUOTE=The_Marine;27594194]Horrible.[/QUOTE] This. Effects looked nice and the cops looked cool, but the rest of it was just so fucking dumb and unfitting... I mean holy shit a fat rebel kid with holograms.

Eh, I kinda already knew this short video was going to blow. I didn't think it was going to blow this much. Why the hell did they even have a trailer it was only 10 minutes? By the way, I can't believe it took them 2 years to make this. lol.

[QUOTE=Forum Idiot;27594080]It was inspired it wasn't suppose to be a fucking HL2 movie for fuck sakes, give them credit for atleast making it and getting it finished.[/QUOTE] "Inspired" is an excuse. You don't include G-man, the lambda symbol (in the wrong colour), metrocops, striders and rebels then call it inspired.

[QUOTE=ImmortalKombat;27594111]what the fuck are you talking about. it has fucking "black mesa" in the title of course it was a hl2 movie stop talking please[/QUOTE] It had things from HL2, it wasn't suppose to be all around the uni of HL2, headcrabless zombies were neat to say the least, looked like fast zombies to me. I do like the concept and I'd want them to make another one, following up this one.

Itt: Hurp this sucks

[QUOTE=certified;27594513]Itt: Hurp this sucks[/QUOTE] It really does though. Shame with all the time they had, they could've made atleast this; [media]http://images.cosplay.com/photos/13/1362779.jpg[/media] [media]http://images.cosplay.com/photos/13/1362780.jpg[/media] Its not the fact that he made it with metal, its the fact that he sculpted it. And It seems with all the time they had (a long span) they could've atleast made something legit.

I didnt know combine were trained by ninjas. also what was this the no head crabbed zombies?

looks a tad like brink to me (that game i preordered a long ass time ago and will come out exactly a year after i pre ordered, i am a compulsive idiot sometimes).

Combines with g36's?

How things look in Source, how they look through a camera and how they look to eyes are three different things.

Ok, I posted a comment about what was good, and what could be improved, and instantly thousands of xXKillaXx-guys with anime avatars sent me billions of hate messages

It was decent if you didn't go in with high expectations. Also, why the fuck did that combine have a katana? That made no sense at all.

They are deleting comments that are not praising their work. Such as mine, which just said "It was okay".

Should of been Barney Calhoun, not Shepard, characters looked far too clean, and it was [b]fantastic[/b] until the combine flipped up with his 50kg+ of armor and whipped out a sword.

Is it because they ran fast? Because in that case everyone in the film looked like a fast zombie.

Wasn't very fitting for the half life universe but that backflip over the sword was jaw dropping.

You make the Obi-Wan your main character and a chubby teenager with glasses plays him. Instead of a light saber he uses a katana cause they couldn't get the effects right. Instead of fighting lets say sand people he fights zombie infection on tatooine using matrix moves and slowmos. Then you haven't really made a movie "inspired by star wars" you took some ideas and butchered them. It could be cool for someone who doesn't know shit about star wars but the fans would eat their fucking beards. Pretty much everyone here is a fan of half life and doesn't like butchering the ideas and characters from it.

I liked this.

For a $1200 budget, this is pretty awful.
