Anybody who's not poor knows what GOTY was

Poor-fag detected. If you think VR is comparable to 3D TVs you've obviously never played it.

HL: Alyx is interesting. It's kinda like a greatest hits VR game. It doesn't do anything really new, but what it does do is more polished and better than the games it took it's inspiration from all wrapped up with a decent story.

I'm really not sure how I'd feel either way if their next Half-Life game wasn't VR. The technical and playtesting problems they had during development, along with the general fanbase likely not having a VR headset, kinda indicate that they probably won't make HL3 a VR title, but hope they kinda do it anyway.

>The most immersive game possibly ever
but you cant even melee lmao

You're a 17 year old short girl, you expect your melee attacks to hurt 6'0 armoured guards?

By being innovative and pushing the envelope. While managing to be a really fucking good game at the same time. Just like its predecessors did.

im poor so I dont. Fuck you op.

should be able to at least hurt headcrabs

imagine living in a country with a functioning economy and everything not practically costing 4x more

>he doesn't know

It looks amazing, it plays really well, but it's pretty repetitive ultimately lets be honest. The puzzles, while at first seem really cool, get super tedious towards the end. The resin hunting shit is also a huge waste of time and grows tedious as well. Combat encounters aren't very interesting outside of the electric boogaloo monsters, and the story was kinda boring.

Definitely the best VR game of all time, but in terms of GOTY, I'd pick Doom Eternal over this any day.

I own an index and Alyx isn't close to GOTY tier. It really coasts on being a Half-Life game. Also, I liked Boneworks a lot more.

I went in 0 expectations since I had been a bit disappointed with HL2 back in the days. I was pretty blown away. It's by far the best and most immersive VR game out there and it's the first time I'm actually considering VR to be potentially an the future of the medium. Don't get me wrong: I do enjoy VR quite a lot and play quite frequently, but the other games feels more like a side step or a parallel project to video game rather than the next step. IOt was "experiences" and "funny gimmick", now Alyx proved that we could have proper games.

Half-Life only got big because it had better modding capabilities than Quake 2. Quake 2 also had jackshit for plot while HL ripped its entire narrative structure straight from Goldeneye.
Half-Life 2 had the fortunate luck of looking better and running better than Doom 3, plus the gravity gun.

Turns out Valve gimmicks don't work when the id shooter they're competing with is actually good.
They especially don't work when the only people defending the gimmick didn't give a single fuck about VR until a VR game with Half-Life in the title came out.

Anyone who didn't fall for the VR meme doesn't have to call a mediocre game GOTY to help stave off buyer's remorse.

this game was meh at best, everything this game does, some other vr game does better

>Just checked the sale tracker and blade and sorcery has never gone on sale
So I should just buy it yeah?

I don't see the hype with that game.

I would defend VR more than I would defend Half Life. All first person shooters including Doom would benefit from using VR. Aiming in 3D is a significant upgrade for a genre that built around aiming. Attempting to go back to 2D aiming just makes games feel dull and uninvolved. Even if they are fundamentally good games it is still disappointing to know they could have been better.

if you think half life 2 was more popular than doom 3 only because it looked and ran better, you are extremely out of touch

I mean I don't either, it doesn't look good graphically but half the appeal of VR is doing what looks like simple and basic actions, but I don't see anything better for melee until some autist makes a bannerlord mod

The game was awful to play but follows the same approach as Sony first party exclusives: massive blockbuster setpieces that make the player forget the slog they traversed through to get to them, giving them the false impression that it was a good game.

buy it, it you like sword fighting it's a blast, it's very barebones, kinda make your own fun with murder and medieval weapons. If you go back to update 7, there's a star wars conversion mod if youre interested

Teleport controls actually feel fine. It's not much different than having a fast camera speed in an isometric game. Makes VR games feel a bit less immersive but VR stops feeling super immersive the more you play anyway.

I like swords a lot, what I want is Dark Messiah VR but I don't see any campaign sword games besides Tales of Glory that is EA from fucking May so I know its going to be even more barebones

>VR stops feeling super immersive the more you play anyway.
Kinda felt like this might be the case. Whats the point in buying VR if once you become desensitized to it you lose the magic and it really does become just a monitor strapped to your face?

I'm happy with my VR purchase but honestly most of these experiences are "one and done" or fun for a few minutes at a time like an arcade game. I can count the number of fully fleshed out VR games that aren't just walking simulators in VR on one hand with two fingers cut off.
