I believe the couple throwaway lines Russ gives as you exit the distillery are all there is

I would have liked the ending to HLA better if it wasn’t openly spoiled in plain text some 10 or 15 pages ago

The original unreal is very slept on. I remember exiting the ship for the first time and being blown away by the big vista you’re dropped on. I have never gone back and replayed that game and I feel like my memories might be very rose tinted given how many play throughs and speed runs and pontification you see in 2020 on half-life 1 compared to none of that for unreal, but I loved it at the time.

It’s funny because my level of anxiety went way down once i hit the prepurchase button because I knew I was gonna play the game for real. My anxiety level is back up now because even though Valve says it won’t be another 13 years, it’s Valve, so it could be another 20. My hope for the short term is the porting work to get HL2 into HLA works out because I can play those games all day, along with the eventual level editor making for some fun stuff

Jack Trades posted:You should play Boneworks. I love Boneworks but the melee is easily the worst most inconsistent part. I’m gonna give Alyx a bit to marinade in my mind and then go back and try it on hard mode and explore more this time around. I didn’t even find the piano the first time!!

If you've played through half life in preparation for Alyx and now have beaten Alyx, there is always TitanFall 2, on sale for $5. Huge half life vibes, highly recommendedDr. Eldarion posted:Titanfall 2 (PC Download) $4.99

I love the option to have smooth movement and teleport at the same time. I used smooth movement 99% of the time and then teleport to get through small spaces. Every game needs to copy that scheme

Jack Trades posted:Personally I'd rather the game make me actually crouch. Yeah but you’re the outlier there. Not everyone can do that for space reasons, physical reasons, or (in my case) laziness reasons. E: just saw your last post. Yes, a checkbox for crouch type would have been better

I had a dream last night that I was playing HLA and I was in a section with Jeff and one of the zombies that throws headcrabs and it got too intense, so I took my headset off and I was still in the game, it wouldn’t go away, I couldn’t escape it and it was terrifying. It was one of those dreams where I had to make myself wake up by forcing my eyes open Thanks for joining in my therapy

I mean I didn't literally count stuff that wasn't usable, but at least I didn't notice any difference Extremely  I spent so much time just looking at stuff in this game. It was as much a walking simulator as an fps just because of how I played it

Jack Trades posted:but still you could see that it was a last minute hack by how they still make you teleport through a bunch of sections anyways. Counterpoint: I liked teleporting through crouch areas because I’m generally lazy when I play games and while I get ~my immersion~, it’s also obnoxious.

Well, half life 2 is a better game than alyx, so it really only depends on whether or not they gently caress up the VR implementation. I say this as a big fan of alyx.

ScreenDoorThrillr posted:this is insane I'm in your boat, I love Boneworks combat, gun handling, shooting, all of it, but it is probably the most polarizing VR game I've ever seen. There is an equally big boat of people who absolutely hate it and are just as vocal about it.

Case in point, you thought the shooting was goofy, I thought the way the iron sights and scopes worked was awesome, and the loading and reloading did a lot to make the guns feel more real. Its just that kind of polarizing game

Boneworks was nice because you could basically do anything. Everything was a physics object, and everything could collide realistically with everything else. I recall in one level not having enough inventory slots to carry the stuff I wanted to take to the thing-saving-machine at the end of the level. I just picked up a trash can, threw them in and carried the trash can with me. It worked perfectly, minus the sound of like 5 guns rattling around in a metal trash can I tried the same thing in Alyx when you first get grenades, and the grenades just sort of slipped out of the bucket I was carrying after I walked a bit, becuase the bucket wasnt designed to carry grenades, really. Thats the main difference in my mind. Alyx was (very much like Half-Life), a series of setpieces that you can kind of interact with but mostly exist to impress visually. It was very polished, and looked and functioned better than boneworks. Boneworks was a linear series of places with stuff in them, and it was up to you to figure it all out any way you wanted. It wasnt always pretty, and could come across as quite janky, but dammit, if you wanted to smash a zombie in the crotch with a chair from a break room that you've been carrying with you for 20 minutes, you could.

It would be extremely slow and boring as a flat game. It is very much not designed around mouse and keyboard "whip your view 180 degrees in a split second" gameplay that you'd find in a regular flat FPS
