Just 5 more minutes right guys ?

Okay, so it's come to my attention that people apparently didn't like the "Haven't really played it much." joke.

Here's the thing. I posted this review idly without knowing the joke was overused. Get over yourselves, not everyone browses reviews perpetually looking for funny reviews or jokes. Instead of keeping the review a joke, I'm updating this review to reflect my actual stance on the game.

Garry's Mod is a relatively stable physics sandbox game. There's really not much to be said other than there is a vast array of third party content ( Mods, addons, whatever you want to call them ) that further enrich the game in various ways. Some add guns. Some add vehicles. Some turn you into a Godlike superhuman creature with superspeed and superhuman strength and telekinesis and whatnot.

This game is very, very time consuming, and if you are a heavy content creator, story writer, or anything of that nature, you absolutely will sink massive amounts of time into this game if you happen to take a shine to the creation abilities found within. There are some obvious limitations preventing more serious scale content creation such as a very restrictive / limited map size, and limited ability to custom animate things without having prior modeling knowledge, amongst other possible issues.

When heavily modded, Garry's Mod becomes unstable quick, with many security vulnerabilities, and it takes very little to crash the game if played incorrectly ( for example removing the wrong entity or removing a lua hook etc. )
There is also a relatively prominant issue of "Stop having fun, guys" archetypes found commonly in the userbase ( Builders and programmers primarily ) as well as the issue of relatively frequent "hackers" ( Usually harmless, however there is the occasional possibility of truly harmful malicious acts being taken )

All in all, it's a nice game if you know what you're expecting to do with it and know what to expect, but very misleading and easily misunderstood if otherwise. I only suggest it to those who have a LOT of time to dedicate to it.


[] all in all its a very good game =)
