A moment of silence for those that didn’t make it to see this day.

Half Life: Alyx is finally at our doorstep.

This will be one of the most streamed games of the decade.

Valve has recommended that players replay Half Life 2: Episode 2 before launch.

This game will be a full length addition to the story that we fell in love with back in 1998, 22 years ago... Don’t you feel old.

This game WILL be the killer app that makes developers seriously consider VR as a viable platform.

This game will revolutionize gaming as we know it, which of course it was valve has done with every prior Half Life game.

This game will focus on immersion, bringing the player into the universe. Clunky UI In the way. Everything you need will be accessible on your hands.

The game will feature all popularized forms of VR locomotion making it accessible to all VR enthusiasts.

Valve will even make it possible to develop custom levels and mods via a release of the new and improved Hammer of the Source 2 engine.

We’re in for a wild ride.

In less than 24 hours we’ll be able to jump back into the streets of City 17.

I just finished this. Took me a while. It's excellent; it's hard to believe it hasn't heralded in a paradigm shift in gaming already.

They promised that Episodic content would be released for Half Life 2, like Blizzard, Valve can watch me vote with my dollar. Maybe when $5

What?

And still can't afford a VR headset.

There are some pretty affordable Oculus models

I give it 6 months before they announce a regular version.

The real problem isn’t the headset but the computer, my setup with oculus cv1 and pc with a 1060 6gb was around 2k, worth every cent tbh.

Now I have an rtx 2070 super and it fucking eats 4k for breakfast it’s so dope supersampling in vr at 2.0 and still maintaining 90 FPS

Best money I’ve ever spent tbh. Got a wheel setup too dirt rally 2.0 with oculus and g920 with shifter only way to get more realistic

Would be to actually go rally driving lol it’s fucking incredible

Loving the game so far. About 4 hours in, best game this year so far. Now I gotta find time for bannerlord next week

*SPOILERS*

4 hours in? You must have gotten to the Vort. Isn’t he awesome!?!?!

ALYX VANCE WE ARE FRIENDS OF ALEX AND ELI VANCE. HERE ALYX VANCE, SUSTENANCE!

Ohhh yeah. I stopped around chapter 5

I think my favorite thing so far has been the Vort section with the murals on the wall outside of their hideout

Oh man the one that tells the story of half life? Where you have to find the buttons? That was one of the most amazing scenes in that game

I gotta tell u tho they fucked up on the shotgun in this game, can never find enough ammo so most of the time I don’t use it lol

I got up to the shot gun section. It was so intense! I love that I don’t get any motion sickness. Boneworks gives me some nausea after 1 hr

Game cam be pretty hard at times, I am playing on hard tho so....

DeviatedPrevert

they have been telling me for 30 years that VR headsets will be ubiquitous in 2 years ... and they never are

Now they really are tho lol I remember my bro had one in the 90’s you had to stand in a circle shit was str8 GARBAGE hahaha

Well now the tech needed to run VR is on many households

I don't have $500 to waste on a headset for one good game

For a lot of people it isn’t a waste. Just because you don’t want it it doesn’t mean everyone else doesn’t want it.

The fact that there are more than 5 very popular VR headsets proves that it is in demand. The Index sells out as soon as it comes in stock

ok, but for me, a half life game is not worth $500-600
