Remij 4,670 Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Quote PCGamer: I played the final three hours of Half-Life: Alyx in a single session. Before Alyx, I never used VR for more than 30 minutes at a time. I don't get motion sick but I do get generally tired of VR. Tired of having a hunk of plastic strapped to my face, of having to stand and stoop and reach awkwardly around, of not being able to check my phone or have a sip of coffee. But I didn't take a break, or even want to, during the final chapters of Half-Life: Alyx. I wasn't tired. I was completely enthralled and unwilling to stop playing. When I played through the ending (no spoilers here, but trust me, you'll want to keep your VR headset on through the credits), I reloaded my last autosave and played through the ending a second time. And then I went back to the beginning of the game and started playing again. Mine just finished decrpyting. Finishing up some lunch and I'm jumping in Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remij 4,670 Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Gamesbeat gave it an 8/10.... seemingly lowering the score because it's releasing during this pandemic.... Half-Life: Alyx review — A great VR game for the wrong time Quote What you won’t like Playing this game right now I almost feel bad holding this against the game, but now is a rough time to play something that immerses you into an intense, 10-hour long experience in a postapocalyptic world filled with monsters and lots of other things that want to kill you. Compared to Half-Life 2, Alyx leans more into the survival-horror genre. Enemies hit harder, ammo is scarce, and health is limited. It’s not as fast or action-based as Half-Life 2. Now, this makes a lot of sense for the VR transition. Atmosphere is a big part of VR, and leaning more into horror elements is one way to create a more visceral experience. But it can become mentally exhausting. I would play in sessions between one or two hours long, and I’d be straight up fatigued after them. Now, I suppose that means that the game is doing its job. But considering how stressed out I already am about being in shelter-in-place and practicing social distancing, I have to say that I’m envious of my friends who were spending all of their time catching virtual fish and paying off digital home loans. lmao fuck you..... Wonder if they'll do the same thing for TLOU2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The opportunity to play something new and temporarily forget about the shitshow in the real world should be a positive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm hoping to get off early today, me and Alyx have some catching up to do after 13 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Valve is back in the game. Fat fuck Gabe has infinite money to fund dream projects, he better do it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Casual 726 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Not bad. So we got 93.... -5 because it's half life and gabe made them wait 13 years so they wanted it more -5 because it's valve and the same reasons -10 because it's the first passable VR game so expectations are lower Sounds like we got a solid 73 if it were a real game boys. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
