      Half Life Alyx was sick and demonstrated everything VR could be. I will standby that statement and tolerate the flamers.

        Hard agree. That game is what I hope the future of games is like. Meeting Jeff is one of my favorite moments in gaming.

        I started my second playthrough before even completing my first (due to PC upgrades) and I’m still having a great time.

        I actually have that in my library because I bought the Index but haven’t played it yet because I wanted to play the first 2 games first. I didn’t play the first game for very long tho because I got stuck at some point early into the game and haven’t felt like continuing yet. You can also really feel the age of that game, controls and that kinda stuff. Not sure if I should just punch through that game or just say fuck it and play Alyx.

          Well you’re in luck because there are VR mods available free for the older Half Life games. Just get the Orange Box or something with all the half life backlog and VR mod them for free.

          Half life 1 just got a new big update that makes it much better to play this day and age and fixed a bunch of bugs. Either way you could skip 1. As a kid I never played 1 and went straight into 2, then 2 episodes 1 and 2 with the orange box. I still haven’t finished 1 but with this new update I think I’ll go back to it some point soon now.

      At some point the Late vs Suck balance will tip the scales of So Late That the Customers Lost Interest or Died

        I played hl2 as a teen.

        One of my kids just finished episode 2 and asked me when the next one was coming out. I was like “oh bud I got some bad news for ya”.

        It’s generational disappointment at this point.

      Am not sure there’s a way for them to release HL3 and don’t disappoint huge number of people. Not because they suck at making games but because expectations have grown so so so much they are downright unachievable now.
