play RTcW instead, the game from 2001 (Y)
It would be a hilarious parody of Doom if it was actually funny. As it is, it's just a sad butchering of the game with adding meme modern features with little skill or sense. I won't even mention how the first wall glitches are already 1 minute into the first level... Everything looks ugly and dark, alphanumerics and icons floating around only obstruct FoV and it gets very bad later in the game when you have many powerups active. I'm giving it 2 because the first map is actually quite neat.
its fine, not gonna say i could make better because i cant!
Crashes on Start up, installed it as it says, done all fixes there is & Still a Broken mess, utter Garbage mod, should be ashamed of crap devlopment of it.
bad bro bad
Херня а не мод. Автор ты какими клешнями делал данный мод?!
Серьезно, это реально говно мод!
what da f..
I don't have many, if any, kind things to say about Episode 1.
Getting it running in the first place was not pleasant (file flagged by AntiVirus software, awful Xash'd version of HL that wouldn't run), and when I did get it going it turned out this was a pretty low quality mod that had no reason to be released stand-alone - it could easily have been a typical HL mod and would have reduced the filesize by about 75%.
As for the mod itself... levels are VERY basic, feeling unconnected and visually unimpressive (to say nothing of the misaligned or missing textures), and I had absolutely no idea what any of the locations were supposed to be.
The new weapons and NPCs aren't super great, but more importantly some of the animations don't properly synch up and have incorrect sounds (the MP5 reloading sounds like a shotgun!). Enemies are no better, being a mix of LD and Beta models that don't mesh cohesively.
Speaking of enemies, the combat isn't all that fun either. This is one of those mods where your inventory is reset every level (get used to hearing the HEV start-up speech) so ammo isn't a concern at all - you'll just shoot everything with your pistol/machine gun from a distance and not really engage with any of the enemies, since you'll get more ammo after the level change... and even if you do get up close and personal with the baddies, you won't care since your health will get reset as well, so who cares if you're in the red all the time - it won't be for long!
The whole thing is bland, uninteresting and dull. 20 minutes of utterly wasted potential.
This custom stories has many glitches that can softlock you if you're not careful.
just a generic boring *** shooter on a gzdoom engine with fabricated reviews on moddb, like dude you could at least TRY to make those comments you posted from your 30+ alt accs believable
The more I played the more frustrating I found the various gameplay features.
The games story ending (which I just got to replaying the past few days) entails an absurd amount of walking simulator gameplay which is just lazy. Honestly seems like the developers ran out of steam in the last third of it or so gameplay wise. The writing of the whole thing sucks and is ultimately inconsequential with nothing ever being revealed, changed, or anything in the end.
I thought I had never finished this games main quest but it turns out I did years ago. It just ends awkwardly without any real conclusion or climax. I remember thinking back when I did the last quest that my game must be bugged since I didn't get any quests after it but nope. That's just it. That's the game.
Honestly the negatives with this game FAR outweigh the positives and I wonder if all the people who praise this game the way they do ever beat it or got further than the first few levels because it seems like from what I've seen online the reception is sort of lukewarm among many of the people who got to the end.
At the end of the day Anomaly does nothing but waste your time with pointless grindy elements. The amount of times I had to stop mid firefight to repair gear and armor was just...it completely broke the flow of the gameplay but I had to do it unless I wanted the game to break my wallet.
There is no more love/hate relationship with Anomaly for me. I HATE this game. This mod. It is terrible and I wont be coming back to it. Ever. Again.
Even the worst Stalker mods I've played have more vision and creativity than this. Anomaly feels like it was written by a 15 year old larper.
A waste of time, not even April Fools can save it.
just turns this into aimbot: the game absolutely ruins the game
Although the mod looks amazing and has a lot of nice things to do in it. Also it has a lot of detail and I liked the story. But darn bugs, there are tons of them and most of these bugs are critical level, which crash the game and don't let to progress. Better fix the critical bugs before rolling the mod on public
yeah, as other people said, this mod feels like someone just did not try and see what works, it just random BS, by all account i should put a one but the only reason i ain't doing it is by the offchance the devs maybe think of making the AI not an absolute cheatfest
Some of the Adding shown in this mod have been stolen with no credit to the original authors. Even with the addons, they don't look great.
It's VERY bad. The textures are glitchy, and so are the models. The work with the engine was done as disgustingly as possible. I know you wanted to make something interesting, but that's not it. +1 for your enthusiasm.
Incredibly bad, written by a prejudiced child.
Let's lose consciousness for the progress of the plot 579 Time Again
is it ok if mod has solid storyline but there limit to enjoy game and plod when you get cutscene and you get knocked down on a ******* ground becouse some Ambush from *** is hapenig and you cant do **** due to cutscene and then you get you items stolen thad you get from side task making it for most part of game when you nied thad obsolete i can understand thad axe nieded do flee from bandit base it not hard to understand but in many cases thing just feel like now you are foced to do thing and get unconscious and then get dragged to do forced work and repeat. but psy brain being still alive and controling ziombie and then going to travel a word was nice and i very much liked thad quest same with thad one with ghosts.
Stolen music, old engine, nice textures and such but frustratingly slow gameplay
