But to expect them to put together a translation pack, simply because -as a general rule- English speakers are truly a disgrace when it comes to learning foreign languages, is asking too much from a small team like this. Who knows? Perhaps they will work on an English language translation if their mod proves popular enough with the Francophone fanbase (or otherwise). You need some highly skilled linguists to put a decent translation together without compromising the artist’s vision, to expect a bunch of level designers/artists to pull that out of the bag plus the mod itself is a big ask for a first release. I think it’s incredibly selfish for us English speakers to be all “gimme gimme gimme” with our expectations for translations. I might play this at the weekend if only to at least try to dissect some of the French story for you all here. Unless you are a serious Hl2 mod fan I recommend you consider this brief review and hopefully some others before you download, install and play. I dislike not knowing what I am being told on the screen. Whilst I can’t complain that the mod is in French, I do feel that there are enough people within the HL2 community that would have translated the text into English and perhaps other languages. If you manage to play past the red door where the level changes please take some screenshots and send them to me. The enemies showed great determination to track me down and that was a welcome change from them just standing around waiting for me to come to them. For example image 21 shows a fuel truck that has no obvious way of being in that area, and that wasn’t the only time it happened. There were too many locked doors and the balance between fighting and exploring was not very good.
However, I was disappointed because the levels were repetitive, and a mis-mash of styles and layouts.
The screens look pretty good and it was big enough to make me believe that I had an hour’s worth of gameplay in front of me. I haven’t given it a Too Buggy recommendation becasue I feel that I know exactly what would have come next if I could have played it.Īfter finding this mod on Grinder74 (linked in the main post) I was quite excited to play it. Three times in one place ( the last Image) and two more times a little bit later.ĪT that point I stopped playing and will not try again.
