Black Mesa is a Source Engine game that is made up almost entirely of high quality custom assets and has detailed levels and a bunch of special effects and whatnot, but it's only 15 GBs
This though,
this, unpolished, broken, and unfinished excuse for a game, is
60 GBs! There's no cutscenes, practically all of the dialogue is broken, so you have no idea who anyone is or what's going on
This game supposedly takes place during the 7 Hour War, but it takes place over the course of several days and goes through locations with enemies, weapons, and vehicles that shouldn't have existed at this point in Half Life's story
For a game that's about hunting Gordon Freeman, there is a severe lack of Gordon Freeman hunting during gameplay
This game has clashing art styles, inconsistent models and textures, awful voice acting (sorry Keemstar and IHE, it's not your fault), terrible sounds and gameplay mechanics that all just make this already bad game even worse, ignoring the fact that it's unfinished, because even if this was a finished game, it'd still be the most mediocre, nonsensical, non-linear, piece of garbage excuse for a video game
This thing's very existence is an insult to everything that is video games, game design, and Source Engine mods
my utter disgust for this game is almost beyond words
stolen weapons and animations, entire stolen maps, awful gameplay, actual copies of official valve maps (illegal to sell without valve's written permission btw) and the worst bugs and breaks i have ever seen. the loving filesize is different from person to person and the cutscenes didnt even download in the initial publishing of the game.
besides technical issues, the storytelling feels like a bad fanfiction, the voice acting is terrible (with features of not only keemstar but loving IHE for some reason) the sound design in all but the most basic things is non existsnt, and most of the events that take place make no sense and everything is strewn about in a chaotic mess. you dont even loving hunt down the freeman
and the cherry on top is the team is going to be in legal stuff not only because of stolen intellectual property but also that they may get sued by valve for accidentally releasing the debug tools for source, allowing reverse engineering of source 2013.
i think its reasonable to say this may be the worst game ever released
Also this
This is just the worst thing to ever exist, and that's saying something, there have been so many God awful games on Steam, but this one was able to cause a TON of damage the moment it was released, not just to Valve, but to anyone who plays this broken mess
By playing this game, YOU will end up a broken mess for trying to play through this game and trying to piece together what's going on
This is a game that should never have been released, it should have been canceled before the devs got too deep into things, they spent way more time, effort, and money than they'll ever be able to make back
