will it be good?
>>736522407no but it's pretty funny seeing garry continuously cuck out on not wanting it to be gmod 2
>>736522407In before Early Access, then 5 years of waiting for the game to be in a somewhat finished state like Garry's Mod
>>736522623which is exactly why it will fail. gmod was a success because it was a half life mod. And if you think about how counter strike was a half life mod and how popular it is now it should explain how important it would be for s&box's success to actually be gmod 2. Naming it "gmod 2" would unironically be enough to make it relatively successful; especially if half life 3 were to release somehow anytime soon.Otherwise, never ever lol
It deserves to be a catastrophic flop, but it will probably slowly grow an audience as more people get their hands on its tools
I've had the early access since 2024, no.
Aside from graphics what does Sampersandbox do better than Gmod?
Isn't it a game engine like Unity or something
>>736522724You fucking nigger, i walked away with this image open and got jumpscared when i came back.Fuck animated jpegs.
>>736523098
>>736522407Why are they sausage people? I’m not paying money for sausage people.
we all know sausage men is why it will bomb
>>736522407>S&box>Es Ampersand BoxDumb name. Garry is an idiot.
Has Garry mellowed out, over the years? Back in the day, I remember him having schizo meltdowns on a daily basis. But now he seems like a normal, professional guy.
>>736522407Why would I play this over Garry's Mod which has decades of addon development?
>>736522407there's no way you can capture the magic, the people made the game no one cares about the tools
>>736522407genuinely, what can the source 2 engine do better than the source 1 engine?
>>736522407this looks like the average ue5 slop asset games that flooded everything
>>736523875multithreading
>>736522407I've been playing it since 2023 all my hopes for the game are dead it's completely soulless none of what gave gmod it's charm is in it, it actually inherited everything bad about gmod
>>736522876Something about making it a platform for gamemodes or in other words, a platform for microtransactions.
>>736522407It's going to flop since it's only for PC. This isn't 2004 anymore.
>>736523875graphix and nothing else
>>736523131>>736523134Seriously why are they so insistent on these ugly characters
>>736524186Spite gmod and half life fans
>>736524186It’s supposed to be iconic like Minecraft or Roblox.
>>736524425I want garry to ironically lick a cactus.
>>736524186garry has an idea that people find ugly characters appealing and by god he's sticking with it
I'm excited for it
>>736524425So he picked a design that looks very similar to a show that was mocked for it's hideous and off-putting characters (Mr Meaty)
>>736524584Have you played it before? The dashboard is filled with dogshit game modes that you would find on fortnite and roblox
>>736524640Gary's mod was also 95% garbage and children screaming. Majority of my gary's mod memories are messing with at the time other idiot kids or messing with admins until i got banned from a server i didnt like.
>>736522780the problem is that carrying the title of Gmod 2 is a double edge sword, on one hand you will get guaranted sales of literally everyone who is a fan of og gmod + the hype of outsiders, on the other hand that would mean you gotta live up the the inmense hype of being a sequel to fucking gmod of all things, and mind you that would be the equivalent of releasing half life 3 in current day, the smartest move is to make a ""spiritual succesor"" instead of a proper sequel because that way you keep the expectatives in an Ok level instead of having every pc gaymer worth its salt preparing the downvote the moment they see its not really gmod 2.>TLDRThere are way too many cons than pros of being named gmod 2, its better off this way.
>>736524584You can get the developer preview from their site right now
>>736524932The no brainer would have been porting gmod over to source 2 and using half life alyx and cs2 models and be done with it
>>736522407The only good thing I've heard about this is that there's supposed to be some sort of built in Source2 standalone build exporter, so if you make a good game in this sausage engine you'll be able to take down the entire gamemode and then launch for sale directly on Steam, and I think Garry even negotiated a better dev revenue split for games published that way - but this is all stuff I've heard from slop tubers.
>>736523098It's not animated it's just an extremely scary liminal space
>>736522876gmod doesn't have microtransactionsS AND BOX WON
>>736522407enter the beta and leave the game on to rack up hours if you want to keep it for free. One of the recent blogposts said he won't revoke accounts that have played a lot before launch
Didn't roblox take over?
>>736522407Garry's Mod isn't even fun, I put more hours into Halo Custom Edition maps.The problem with Gary's Mod is that it never had convenient modding tools. In Halo CE you just boot up the modding tool and slap 30 marines vs 30 covenant and upload your own textures to literally any model you want, put a jpg of your waifu in the warthog radar screen, and modify all the stats of every gun, vehicle, and NPC all without ever writing a single line of code.We just don't get these powerful tools anymore these days sadly, 95% of Gary's Mods maps and mods suck major ass
It's the only way for me to really mess around with Source 2Once HLX comes out though S&Box will lose the one special thing it has going for it
>>736526992Fucking wrong lmao
>>736526992the most fun i ever had in gmod was spacebuild and even then it was turbojank
>>736524425except it won't be iconic, the reason why minecraft steve and the roblox noob are iconic because they are simple, charming, and pleasing to look at. No one likes these britfag humor characters
>>736524584same, wanted to use it dev games on sauce doo
>>736522407I highly doubt it
>>736522407>let's take a successful property>AND MAKE IT SUCK FUCKING ASSES
