it takes time to get used to the game, heres a wiki with a ton of info on how to do stuff, it helps you learn the ropes of the game.

you could always build a rube goldberg machine, they are fun to try and set up.

It is an FPS, But not a shooter. You build stuff with Source game models. (You can also find custom made models too)

Its a sandbox type game, so you can do pretty much anything.

So it's a FP game where you just mess around? lol what's the point tho?

Well, if you want you can always set up NPC battles. You can even play HL2 levels with the ability to spawn things. I know there are mods around especially for battling too though.

Having fun... and building amazing things.

I recommend starting out with a few tutorials first. They will help you get familiar with the game and give you a good base to start off with. Once you get the hang of it AND find some good servers to play on, it is a very fun game.

P.S. Check out youtube for tut's, just type in "gmod tutorial" or something along those lines.

I've had the game for 2 years and I've still not got the hang of the building side of Gmod. Looks for some servers to join. Theres loads of different mod's made on Gmod that you can play on. HL2 zombie survival is one of my favourites.

 

[Stormrider^]

Yeah.
There's absolutely nothing you can't do in GMod, and if you can't do it by default there is a mod for it. If there isn't a mod for it.. wait for it.
RP mod seems quite popular but the servers aren't so stable because of griefers, minges propkilling and making the server a living hell by spawning so many props the server can't keep up and everyone's ping shoots through the roof.
I suggest you check out Facepunch's forums for all your mod needs. Just building will bore you out soon enough.

 

[yellowbadger52]

also, just wanted to add,check the facepunch website i think has a weekly or monthly challenge for gmod to make a screenshot of something you made to fill the requirements to their contest.the games great just takes time to figure out what you wanna do.

Watch out, Facepunch is quite a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Pretty much every thread on there is not appropriate for eGO.
