It's sad but true. Garrysmod is > LBP. Tools Wiring Garrysmod has an inbuilt(addon)Wiring(Coding) system allowing the user to make so many htings it's unbelieveable. You can create things easily such as Working speedometers, gps and rocket guidance. Placement The placement tools in Gmod are so much easier to use. I would love to see rotation snap and size matching in LBP. Welding/Gluing Gmod has a weld tool which doesnt break everything like the glue. Thrusters Thrusters work far better than lbp as there are many models/weights of thrusters and the settings can be tweaked further. Elastic Gmod has many more settings such as dampening, strength, color, size and elastic Add BallSocket Something that needs to be in lbp. A joint which allows any rotation which can be restricted in any axis Breakable/Unbreakable Prop tool How many times have you exploded sponge when you dont want to or wanted that glass to shatter! Gmod can do all this for you with relevant sounds. Winch The winch tool in Gmod allows far more useability than the one in lbp. Hoverballs A way to make something "Float" that can be invisible and can be altered via a switch to allow up/down motion. Physical Property Tool you can guess what it does buty it would be really cool in lbp. Behind The Scenes Physics Gmodphysics are better than LBP's soft physics. I know that lbp's physics arent MEANT to be realistic but it would be a good option. You can turn cars because it's not a side scroller Customiseability (not a word, but you understand heh ) Gmod has programmable mods, skins, models, sounds, textures, objects, addons which lbp doesnt support. (expcept for MM addons and textures through Playstation Eye) Overall Gmod has far more to offer than lbp but then again it's not a console game. BUT. Gmod takes less performance to run. It could have better graphics if made to.(HD Addon) Is only about 5gb with addons which isn't much of a bluray disc. Great opportunity for a good new community. Oh yeh.. It's fun.. (well lbp is too i guess..) There is one bad thing.. (****ing 7 yr old crybaby american losers, Heh i know you'll agree if you play it) So please respond to this.. i did actually spend time writing it p.s. mods. Can we have color changing in posts please.

Firstly, no. Nothing is > than LBP Secondly, use [color=*colour here* ] tags to create colour in posts. Thirdly, I understand your points, but they're hardly comparable. One's a first person shooter, one's a cutesy platformer.

Gmod isn't made to be a FPS.. it's the 7 year old's that do the dm'ing. + Lots of things are greater than LBP.. such as.. COD5, Crysis, Metal Gear Solid(), Mario, Pacman.. etc... oh and chocolate.

Err... riiight. I don't really see how you can compare the two. One is clearly a platformer and the other clearly isn't. And don't say it could be, cause platforming in first person isn't anywhere near as fun. (some may argue Mirrors Edge in this case... but it's very different with what you can do, such as climbing etc). Also, LBP is a 2.5D game... so comparing it to a 3D game is again a bit strange. But oh well. I've heard great things about Garrys Mod, but can't be bothered with it to be honest. I'm sure it is brilliant, but I'd take LBP any day.

Well then it seems you preffer it over LBP, oh well, so long CNP, hope you have fun with your so called Garrysmod. Here we'll stay with the already proven superior LBP if you don't mind XD

Last time I played GMod was around version 8 or 9 (when it was free). I think GMod is more of a toy than a game (kinda like a Meccano set). LBP is both a toy and a game (The game is already there, you just build what you want to be in the game). GMod is still pretty cool, though, in it's own way. The user has access to a scripting language, and can create the 'game' part themselves.

Those are good tools but I believe MM could make those pretty easily and I think they just put these easy tools in to see what the community could make...

One thing LBP has over Garry's Mod is a stable physics engine. The moment you put too much stuff together in Garry's Mod...expect strange things to happen. I still love GMod, though. Tossing ragdolls around with the physgun is still surprisingly fun, somehow.

You can compare the two but I prefer lbp because of it's simplicity. GMod is more of a "fun to mess around with" mod. Both can be equally hilarious though.

wow. how the bum can you compare a computer thing with a console thing....

oldage, what about games that are on both? I mean, they're clearly comparable. It's not so much a console/computer thing, more a genre/charm issue.

2009-04-26 15:13:00 Author: dawesbr Posts: 3280

But still.. I prefer LBP.

Meh, I still think GMod is an entirely different creature. This discussion is kinda pointless...

Search platformer mod or mario mod. = LBP style deathmatch In true 2D Okay i did that. The only 2D platforming i saw looked pretty poor and boring. Probably due to the basis of the game supposed to be in first person, not LBP style. YouTube - Garry's Mod Super Mario Bros. Level 1 Unless you mean the mario mod which had the castle and everything. That was pretty cool, but again it wasn't platforming. It was your every day FPS in a mario universe. YouTube - Garrys Mod Mario They are comparable in terms of that they're both creating games. But for 2D LBP is far superior, but in 3D... well LBP doesn't even do this. Which is why you can't compare them imo. The 2D garrys mod game looks terrible (i looked at a few) compared to levels seen in LBP. From this, i'm going to say LBP > Garrys Mod

Both games empower the player with the tools to create whatever you want. GMod is even more flexible and has like hundreds of other tools too that you can just download. The difference is that GMod is an fps and that LBP has an artistic direction. That said you can argue that GMod is like LBP in that you're given all of the items from the HL2 packages you've bought letting you do whatever you want with them.

GMOD Isn't MEANT to be an fps.. weapons are entireley up to you.. Search Gmod rube goldberg or gmod melonrace etc. gmod stranded gmod darkrp(ok yeh you can be a gang member in that one )

I've checked out a few, and in my opinion they look no where as good as LBP. Like a few have said, LBP is more about art, and a cute theme, were as GMod honestly looks to me to be a game about guns and explosions and that nature, even the Rube Goldberg had people getting shot and explosions left and right. I'm sure they both have their own ups and downs, but to me LBP just seems more fun than GMod. Gmod is essentially a sandbox-esque type game, whereas LBP is not. And, let's please not turn this into a flame thread, I've seen a few posts here that can be considered unpolite and I'm giving you all a warning, let's keep this in a polite manner, or the Lock Police will come get ya.

You know what's more flexible than both? DirectX....

Gmod = Mess about, amazing for Machinima, shooter orientated (mostly) LBP = Level creation, cute and amazing art direction; platformer (mostly) Pirates = Ships, cannons and beards Ninjas = Shurikens, black and swords Billy Mays = Putty, burgers and oxi clean Vince = Shamwow, slapchop and bonk Two different things; people like both but inevitably people want one to be better.

I've always thought this when LBP came out. That LBP gets alot of inspiration from GMOD like the creating tools and physics. I enjoyed messing around with GMods but never put that much time into it. LBP takes these things and ties them together with platforming game play. Plus the you get other people to try your creations and rate them. Adding that element that was missing from Gmod.

There's so many stupid posts here and also neither one of us understands what the other means so whatever.

Im guessing you've never heard of mapping... or fpsbanana.com (not just for fps weirdly) also.. whaaaaale. You just said lbp ISNT a sandbox game... seriously... it's a total sandbox. Gmod has a story too. You just can't get to it anymore. (Hackers/glitchers)

Gmod has a story too. You just can't get to it anymore. (Hackers/glitchers) LBP is not a sandbox, sandbox games mean a game just for expirementing and doing weird stuff. In LBP, the goal is usually to create a level people will play, that has enemies, a story line, and platforming. Like you said yourself, you can't even get into the story of GMod. And LBP doesn't have hackers or glitchers, just glitches.

Hang on.. In lbp the create is just for experimenting...

You can do whatever you want, create what ever you want and it doesn't have to be a purpose. CnP... where did you get that idea from? It is for doing whatever you want to do. Want to make a full fledged level? Want to just make a few objects? Want to experiment with a few ideas? Want to make a level to earn <3 4 <3 and trophies? Whatever you want to do, that is what create mode is for. It can be a sandbox type thing if you want, heck you could even try make a sandbox kind of level. It's all up to you, the creator. If someone was to narrow it down to one specific thing though, it's for making levels for others to play.

LBP is far from perfect. But comparing it to any other game that is not built as a platformer is foolish, imo. LBP is just fun. Yes, the customization could be better, but maybe there will be a LBP 2 some day, who knows. Having the option to make things indestructable would be nice, actually...or change the style/colors/properties of any object on demand, instead of them being fixed. I love LBP, in any case. The story mode alone is enough for me to have wanted the game, the replayability in them is just great, especially with friends. Then when you get into the online community...well, I've hardly gotten into that, my first level isn't nearly finished. I've seen plenty though to know that its just what I need. LBP has better platforming, and I love its art direction. Garrysmod has better everything else, I suppose. But LBP has a special place in my heart now. There has never been a platforming game to match it in my years of playing videogames, though I never played extremely old ones. It sets a new standard for platformers, one that I hope is an example for future games. Did I mention that I want LBP 2 someday? >.>
