This is why Nintendo doesn’t fucking love you.

Not sure why Kotaku thought reporting on the content of leaked game that will be officially released within two weeks was a good idea, but it shouldn’t be too surprising why Nintendo will keep blacklisting you from future events.

Valve has just done a tremendous job of maintaining their client over the years. It’s little wonder why people loathed to jump into other publisher’s launchers previously. Now they’re taking lessons learned from the steam deck and bringing it back to PC users.

Hey, that’s... All pretty good looking stuff! Nice work, Valve.

“You know what my days used to be like? I just tested. Nobody murdered me. Or put me in a potato. Or fed me to birds. I had a pretty good life.”

They won’t. They’ll play it and go “This sucks! I dunno why everyone says it’s such a great game!”

This! I fuckin’ LOVE the world of Half-Life. Just letting me explore that world in VR is very much a “JUST HOOK IT UP TO MY VEINS!” thing.

I played HL: Alyx on a 6+ year old laptop running a 1060 and a 1st gen Oculus Quest.  That’s basically a potato these days.

I can’t really say much on motion sickness considering there are so many factors that can cause it. Though IMO, revisiting Alyx in non-VR will be less like finishing your previous playthrough and more like taking on a re-imagined version of the game For better and for worse.

Second to not needing a lot of space. I played half of Alyx seated in a chair, using the same amount of space I use for any of my gaming.

I know. My point isn’t to go buy VR and experience Alyx the way it was designed to be play. My point is to keep in mind that playing the game this way isn’t how the game was meant to be experienced. Thus, anyone who only experiences the game this way isn’t in a position to truly critique Alyx.

I just hope the majority of people who only experience Alyx this way remember that they aren’t playing Alyx the way it was designed to play. Meaning if they end up not enjoying it, I’d hope there aren’t a bunch of people going around complaining about Alyx not meeting the hype when played in NoVR.

Alyx is so good. I was legitimately sad when it was over. I wanted it to keep going for another 10 hours. There’s some other good VR games. SuperHot VR is great. The Darth Vader game is awesome. Elite Dangerous with a stick and a VR set is amazing. But Alyx was the first game I was emotionally invested in that I truly…

I can feel the seething rage at VR’s continued existence.

Plus all the ‘OMG PEOPLE WON”T SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON JUST A VR HEADSET FOR NOTHING BUT GAMING!” when they already spend hundreds (thousands, now) of dollars on a video card for nothing but gaming. You can get a used Quest 1 for $100 on eBay and run it wirelessly to your PC or just plug it in with a USB cable…

If “what makes it great” is the gimmick format, then it’s not a great game

“The Best VR Game Doesn’t Require VR Anymore”

This is like if Nintendo released a non-Wii Remote version of Wii Sports. Sure, it’d be functional and maybe fun (kinda?) but it removes all of what makes it great and basically defeats the whole purpose of it existing in the first place.

You really don’t need a super expensive PC to run VR, especially not for a Oc Quest 2. I was able to run this on a RTX 2060 which is even cheaper now than when I brought one. The only time it gets into expensive territory is if you go with high end VR stuff like Valves Index and start adding in bay stations etc.

Why was Overwatch 2 considered a sequel?

I thought the series had become a lot smaller since CS:Source.
