Ok, I have a question that I can't understand anymore, I even tried to find a rational answer for it, but I always come back to asking myself, why does Overcharged get so much hate? I really want to know why, I just see it as a fun mod that serves as an alternative if you're tired of playing the same old Half Life 2, but it seems that most of the community sees it as an atrocity that should never have been created and any kind of attempt to improve it is a joke (obviously they don't talk like that, I sometimes exaggerate).
Overcharged is just too janky and funny
So it's just because of this that he suffers so much hate
it does have many problems
at least the devs are always trying to fix them
i havent played it in a while tho
The latest version is 2.0
In my opinion I thought overcharged was good
Experiences may differ but in my opinion, Overcharged is just janky. Things like constant crashes and bugs with the ai are a major issue. And while I do like more weapon variety, there is such a thing as too much. Overcharged has so many damn weapons that all feel too similar in my opinion. Now I know some people might say "But SMOD has a bunch of weapons and I don't see anyone complaining about that!" but SMOD also isn't really meant to be taken seriously considering you can you use a fucking PSP as a weapon. Overcharged (imo) tries to be the more serious of the two but it falls flat on its face doing so.
Honestly, a lot of the things that people complain about in Overcharged have either already been fixed or can simply be solved by unchecking a box in the options, and several things that Overcharged adds like the new areas, weapons and enemies make Half Life 2 feel like a new game, and the more serious weapons are more satisfying than using a pair of scissors, and about the crashes, I've played Overcharged several times and it almost never crashes, I'd even go as far as to say that it crashes less than SMOD.
Well I did get overcharged off moddb. Was I supposed to get from somewhere else?
While the latest version that will be released on Steam is not released, the only one that has it is the modb version that was updated to version 2.0 a few weeks ago
Oh I see it now. I might try 2.0 in the future to see if I can at least somewhat find it enjoyable. Imma go play Left 4 Dead in the time being though. Bye.
bye
