It is *absolutely not* the "definitive" way to play HL2 by a LONG SHOT, but the sheer amount of new *STUFF* crammed into the thing, the ludicrously OP goofy shit like the kick & slow-mo, and things like being able to dual wield weapons, having friendly fire enabled by default, and being able to lug around an IMPOSSIBLY MASSIVE arsenal make it feel like "Half Life 2 if it was a batshit crazy action b-movie" and that's just something you can't deny is fun to mess around with.
@@robinclark ok, I haven't tried Overcharged yet, while SMOD Tactical is still one of my favorite Source mods. But in this video Overcharged looks pretty fun so I don't get all that hate hysteria in the HL2 community.
@ayskudo6771 I'm not gonna deny that it does have fun qualities to it but it was not made well by any means its janky af. I mean we just watched the same video right? All the bugs you saw in the video are recurring through out the entire game. Lighting errors, missing textures, stuck npcs, terrible ai, poorly implemented weapons, are just a few to mention. I'm not gonna say don't play it but tbh smod is vastly superior
@@robinclarkthe fact it never even works right 80% of the time honestly just makes me wanna try it more to see what stupid bugs happen in a normal playthrough
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks that killing NPCs you normally can't kill and breaking their cutscene scripts is the funniest shit you can do.
no for some reason these mod makers made a map change trigger here. For what reason, I have no clue. I experienced the same thing when I first played the mod xD

"Alright guys, let's just brainstorm features for the mod for the next week or so, put all your ideas into this google doc.

I think I can take on your dare! While the kick is certainly an iconic and exciting aspect of the Half-Life series, I'd argue that the immersive storytelling, clever puzzles, and memorable characters are some of the mod's greatest strengths. The dialogue exchange you mentioned, for instance, is a great example of the mod's attention to character development and witty writing. The dynamic between Doctor Freeman and Winston is a highlight of the mod, and it adds a layer of depth to the story that keeps players engaged.
Skibidi Toilet is an American epic space opera media franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. The franchise has been expanded into various films and other media, including television series, video games, novels, comic books, theme park attractions, and themed areas, comprising an all-encompassing fictional universe.
As Gordon's toe throbbed with a deep, throbbing pain, he felt himself being sucked down into the abyss, his screams muffled by the earplugs he wore for the disco party he had stumbled upon earlier that night. The last thing he remembered was the flashing lights and the awful rendition of "Stayin' Alive" before he felt himself plummeting through a vortex of pure chaos, surrounded by fluttering rubber chickens and giggling corgis. Now, Gordon found himself in a world made entirely of tartan-patterned socks, where the inhabitants spoke in a language consisting solely of made-up words and hand gestures.
Overcharged, much like The Room, is one of those things where it's so laughably mediocre it loops back around to amazing. This video is a testament to that.
As someone who finds bug/glitches or straight up bad design in videogames funny or a minor inconvenience until they wont let me progress at all, this mod would be a fever dream, wet dream, and straight up not sleeping at all because the wall people sound like they learned how to make the cracks bigger
Citizens turning to a charcoal upon an explosion while still firing their guns as if they were melted onto their hand is the funniest shit I've seen in a HL2 mod period 😂
5:13"stop yappin about the rpg" ahh moment Edit: the overcharged S.L.A.M looks exact as the deathmatch and gmod one, with the same animations and model.
The first half of overcharged was fine, but once I had 6 different smgs and 8 different assault rifles, the amount of ammo for each weapon and never running out of ammo really kills the balance, only sustaining it with common enemies having twice the health of a guard at every auto save.
A Half-Life pun! I'd rate it a 62 out of 100. It's a decent play on words, but it's a bit of a stretch and might not land with everyone. The humor relies on a basic understanding of the game's title and the phrase "overdosed," which might not be immediately clear to non-gamers or those not familiar with the game's terminology. Nevertheless, it's a clever attempt at wordplay, and fans of the series might appreciate it.
such an awsome mod never gets old hey i got a quetion the very ending of episode 2 where you have too jump into a car too fight the combine one last time out on the feld tooo protect the white forrest base does it ever allow you too enter the car or not at all thats like the only annyoing part i seen your video it did the same thing too you this mod is still awsome just wish they can fix that little part
@sanitylost4271 oh really hopefully overcharged can fix that one day a year ago too when I play it when you alyx eli and kleener about too discover the borralis on the Gian computer kleener whould pressed the button the he whould just frezzed like that but good they fix it what I need just continue the regular half life 2 episode 2 last mission just too beat it so not like missing anything best way too still play it but I got too say this mod is so awsome never gets old I like this better then the half life 2 it's self new enemies and old ones from half life opposing force and original and i like the fact too you can killed your teammates I only killed the ones with the addtude or I just killed them randomly because I think it's funny lol
this mod would honestly go hard if it actually had a 'wad' map pack that would match the insanity of it. i wouldnt want to replay the entirety of half life.... but if it was like 3 or 4 crazy maps to see all the weapons and monsters they added in maaaybe id humor it.
That's a great point! To fix the texture issues with water in the mod, you would indeed need to have Half-Life 2: Episode Two (which includes Half-Life 2: Source) and Counter-Strike: Source installed, as well as Left 4 Dead 2. The latter is required because it shares the same Source engine as Half-Life 2, and its installation helps to improve the overall visual quality of the game. By having these games installed, you should be able to resolve any texture issues with the water in the mod.
this game is like playing half life 2 maps on gmod with 1046 addons installed

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try

To remind myself of a time when I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mockin' me

I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then

One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try

To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, did-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
