I have all the board games. Didn’t know they made a computer one.
Excuse me, do you have change for 50 million people?
ETA:
If anyone plays the board game, dunno if it’s still available but there’s a mobile app to replace the spinner and it’s narrated by Claudia Christensen.
oh man, I can’t wait for Half Life 3!
– me, probably, 15 years ago or more
I know someone who is freaked out by the headcrab zombies and can’t play it.
Would that i could play that.
Wasn’t that essentially Half-Life: Alyx? Still not able to play it, but hopefully one day in a proper VR headset.
nah. Alyx was a nice tech demo but no conclusion to the Half Life 2: Episode 2… nor a conclusion to the series. As the song says…
Have you played it? Or watched a complete play-through?
Walkthrough: though a friend is lending me a VR set next month so I hope I will be able to play it properly… if I can see through it.
It’s basically a retcon side story but doesn’t really move the plot forward.
Ahh yeah, it does retcon the events that come later but i thought it advances the G-Man plot somewhat. I remember all the talk of it being like Half Life 2.5 or a spiritual sequel given the advances in gameplay mechanics. But i didn’t see it as a tech demo, i think it still remains one of the few VR games to really make me want a headset.
The RTX remaster of Half-Life 2 does look spectacular.
Currently free on the Epic Game Store until 11/21:
Myself, I played through Alyx on my original Rift, and thoroughly enjoyed it (especially Jeff.)
Personally, I do regard it as being HL3, but can understand why a lot of people wouldn’t.
I’m sure there are VR heads more dedicated than me who will claim otherwise, but I still think this is the best VR game, closely followed by Superhot VR.
Lone Echo gets an honourable mention for that moment when they let you out of the station for the first time; it had me holding on to the walls IRL. Never known vertigo like it.
Note that I’ve never played Beat Saber.
That’s actually Chapter 2 in a series.
Chapter 1:
ETA:
OK, I finished both of these. They are very, very strange. Also, incredibly short; I did 1 1/2 playthroughs of each to get all the achievements, and it was still less than an hour and a half.
