Why does everyone hate the Source Engine?
Why does everyone hate the Source Engine?
Jordan Roberts
Jackson Thompson
I don't
Tyler Davis
Source is pretty clunky and outdated
Source 2 is based
Caleb Turner
Outdated as hell and bitch the work with. Allegedly even the engine maintainers themselves hate it.
Jaxson Barnes
It's old and janky and completely made obsolete by Unity and Unreal. Additionally, any game you make on the engine has to be sold as a mod to a Valve game whereas with Unity/Unreal you actually own what you create. Therefore, if you make a game on Source in 2k20, you are a certified cuck.
Jaxson Barnes
Name even one game made on Source. Go on. I'll wait.

^ This. Source engine that you're able to mod right now is .bsp based, the same format ID tech used for Doom 1 and Unreal Tournament back in the late 90's-early 2000's. Their map editor is still .bsp based, though flexible you're still having to do the same fucking tedious methods the modders in the early 2000's needed to do to optimize a map properly. Source 2 promises mesh-based (plug and play building models) and interactive terrain mapping (reminiscent to Warcraft 3 World Editor) which would BE REALLY NICE RIGHT NOW since it's almost 17 years after Source 1 first released.
It Valve really needs to get their shit together by incorporating the plug-in + visual coding systems Unreal and Unity already had for the past decade. Melee weapon tracing would be nice too (Chivalry medieval warfare melee mechanics). Modders are still waiting on Source 2 to be fully delivered. I really REALLY want to remake the Empires source mod and Dystopia in source 2.

You've gotta get better bait, fag.
Charles Roberts
Acknowledging the bait after you give them exactly what they wanted is not a "gotcha".
Eli Hill
lol OP are you retarded?
Thomas Phillips
>hl2.exe has stopped working
Noah Hughes
The benefit of the doubt is warranted. We could also assume they were just exaggerating, like when one says "PS3 has no games".
Justin White
Matthew Johnson
VR doesn't count.
Chase Moore
Source was great for the time it's just old now. I still love it though
Angel Scott
Yes it does. VR is all that counts now.
Christian Butler
Joseph Ramirez
Wasn't dark messiah made in source?
Kayden Ramirez
is this Natural Selection?
Henry Lopez
It just outlived its usefulness. People are tired of it. I don't know anything about 2.

loading screens
low entity limit
wonky physics/lighting
Oliver Morgan

Carson Robinson
not a bad engine by itself but it is outdated and new stuff is just lazily stacked on top of the old stuff
which causes a lot of older source engine games to break completely. HL2 was utterly fucked by this at one point and arguably still is in places. I still get weird memory leaks in the airboat sections
Anthony Murphy
no
Dylan Lewis
Lucas Martinez
Yes it was.
Easton Russell
Ayden Clark
Why is he trapped in a bacteriaphage within a bacteriaphage?
Gabriel Rogers
G-Man's silhouette is powerful in this game. His hair being a little fuzzy feels a bit off to me, but other than that his design is perfect.
Alexander Hernandez
Tyler Scott
BSP mapping tools are better than mesh based mapping tools, I don't see why optimizations aren't done to the format to get it to run better.
Justin Richardson
He just had a military buzzcut and shampoos often
Thomas Turner
Ayden Gomez
Jayden Cruz
Cameron Hall
It's because nobody has been able to fully implement anything new to it. Mesh based + LOD culling has been dominating as of late in the gaming industry. Also fuck me if i ever needed to make an outdoor map in Source and not make it feel like cordoned off "outdoor rooms".
Evan Martin

>still no sign of HL:A mapping tools
>also we'll probably not see a Source 2 SDK any time soon
Luis Rogers
Jason Wood
Source games have a look and feel to them that can't be replicated by any other engine, so they will always have a place in my heart, no matter how clunky the engine is.
Sebastian Garcia
>still no sign of HL:A mapping tools
They're on SteamDB right now. They're even called the workshop tools. They were just added recently. Shut the fuck up.
Jason King
Camden Lopez
Cooper Nelson
It's fucking awful to work with because it's an engine from 2004, and in order to actually get something that looks good you have to go through a bunch of bullshit to do it
Gabriel Jones
Liam Murphy
You continue spamming this thinking that you're talking to "oooh purty graphics" consoomers. The people who keep on asking for Source 2 and its newer tools are modders who want to make open maps without having to build each outdoor area as a rudimentary "room" with 3d skyboxes without the game digesting your ram cards.
