>ive never used guns
>The realism was too overbearing at times
>When in the middle of oncoming fire, i would drop my mag while trying to reload, this wouldnt happen in a non vr game!
holy shit, game journous have to be the stupidest fucking cretins on this planet.
>shooting isn't fun
>half the game is spent on awkward interactive puzzles
>story is hot garbage if the leaks are to be believed
Is it going to be the best VR game? Absolutely. Is it still going to be a piece of shit? Of course.
>When in the middle of oncoming fire, i would drop my mag while trying to reload, this wouldnt happen in a non vr game!
It's a legitimate complaint. Reloading in the heat of battle doesn't always work, you can't actually move as fast as you want to with VR, or as fast as you expect from actual shooters, where it's brainless.
Bear in mind that even this journo noticed that enemies often hang back and avoid confrontation so you have time to reload and shit. If this idiot noticed the AI was themepark level, do you think you won't?
>It's a legitimate complaint. Reloading in the heat of battle doesn't always work,
it's a skill check you poorfag
There's nothing skillful about reloading in VR, you just have to hope the hitboxes go together right because you're using multiple layers of abstraction. Alyx looks like it errs on the side of arcadey magazines snapping into wells though, so it's probably not as bad as some games like H3VR. Plus it looks like there are a bunch of upgrades that effectively double your capacity by bolting shit to the outside of your gun.

>Is it going to be the best VR game? Absolutely. Is it still going to be a piece of shit? Of course.
and are you still going to act like an absolute faggot about it? yes
Holy based
>If this idiot noticed the AI was themepark level, do you think you won't?
To be fair he probably played at easy or normal difficulty
>Reloading in the heat of battle doesn't always work, you can't actually move as fast as you want to with VR, or as fast as you expect from actual shooters
Try me. I reload faster in VR than most non VR animations play out per weapon class. I've got IRL sleight of hand baby.
This is Valve, buddy. Remember how the combine wouldn't shoot you if you held up a coffee cup in front of you?
Can you get the H3 slide release to work right more than half the time? Because you must be a god if you can do that shit, it's like the window moves every time I try and fucking do it.
whats the spoiler i'm to busy with ac to play this
>This is Valve, buddy
Half Life 1 on hard difficulty was a genuine challenge. Presuming they would make a casual mode for the general population since Valve desperately wants VR to be mainstream and an actual challenging mode for people who are into gaming
Anyways I don't trust journalists or mainstream publications whenever something is difficult. We just have to wait and see until more reviews come out, youtube reviews and webms start being posted
I don't support blatantly obnoxious leftists so I don't own H3.
The video spoils that vortigaunts are cute!
The whole game is meaningless, it's an original universe story where you go back in time at the end and undo all the events of the game so you can destroy the macguffin for the G-man so that Gordon has a chance in the HL2 universe. Then you get put into stasis so you aren't even playing as HL2 Alyx.
Valve of 23 years ago isn't the same Valve of 2020, buddy. They've been playtesting the fuck out of their games for over a decade at this point.
I don't expect anything in the game to pose any real threat.
The skill check isn't reloading the gun, it's doing it while in a high intensity situation, the first thing valve ever said about gameplay was how fun it was to watch someone get swarmed by zombies and fumble their clip while trying to reload.
That's a weird glowing praise coming from the journalists who lambasts Valve and openly supports Epic games. That said there's plenty observations from the reviewer
>The combat encounter is more subdued with combine soldiers using cover more often
>More focus on exploration
>More focus on puzzles
>You've met this cute Vortigaunt
>I guess headcrabs could attached to your head sorta?
Did you miss the entire section about how bad Valve is for making the game VR exclusive? Same publication made this video too youtu.be
>>story is hot garbage if the leaks are to be believed
What leaks?
such a whinner
You sound like a retarded faggot with parkinsons.
Git gud.
>Can you get the H3 slide release to work right more than half the time? Because you must be a god if you can do that shit, it's like the window moves every time I try and fucking do it.
it works 100% of the time. Just click left or slap the button. Index and vive.
>/k/ simulator
>blatantly obnoxious leftists
wot
>how bad Valve is for making the game VR exclusive
Seems like a reasonable stance; that is a bad way to treat the people who put you where you are
so now i finally understand
kotaku, the verge, engadget and all those garbage blogs are written by corp pajeets
what a shit review
he basically talks about himself, how stupid he is, how surprised he is, and not how the game works
congrats
>I don't expect anything in the game to pose any real threat.
Keep in mind what I said before. Valve really really wants to be the first ones to make VR mainstream and capitalize on all profits to be the main storefront for VR games. I'm guessing they have a difficulty mode that it is piss easy that any normalfag can play and another mode where it's more traditional and harder for people who play vidya regularly
There's an apparent leak pasta yesterday about how Alyx goes back in time and change multiple timelines ala Marvel films and doing absolutely fuckall. But, it was disputed from another review from Edge magazine telling about how HL:A were practically a heist story
Those don't contradict each other. Avengers Endgame was about a "Time Heist" where they stole a bunch of magic stones from throughout time.
Either way, sounds retarded.
Here's the dev, also his twitter bio is
>Anti-fascist Leftie GunHistoryNut
>streamable.com
Why is this guys voice so cringe? STOP LISPING FAGGOT!!
“Facehuggers”
God this guy is an insufferable faggot.
the review didnt even mention anything about the physics :/
GALANGA
you just KNOW
This was such a fucking horrible review
>nothing skillful about reloading in VR
lmao. Its literally something you practice and improve on. I can now throw a mag in the air in Boneworks and catch it in my pistol, handsfree. When I first played that game I could barely do it normally because I didn't have a feel for it, and every VR game is slightly different. You're poor and coping
Anyone else playing the leak on their Quest with link? Running smoothly so far.
Come again? The game has been leaked?
How many weapons does this game have? I hope it's not just the two handguns that are shown in trailers.
This is a pretty terrible review, literally says nothing about the game.
>Talks about VR headsets in general, complains that he sucks at VR, barely touches on the game's features itself other than to further show he has no business reviewing a VR game
What a load of garbage. Cant wait to see an actual review
Am I supposed to get outraged because a dev is liberal?
>I don't have the mental capacity to separate the art from the artist
Imagine avoiding good games because a random faggot you'll never meet said something on twitter you don't agree with lol
Why is there an english-language fire alarm in an eastern european city lol
Apparently only 3 (pistol, shotgun, uzi)
>refusing to add features to extend his game's lifespan because someone somewhere MIGHT make an offensive mod
yes
I wouldn't give a single shit about his opinions otherwise.
I kept saying it was going to suck. We kept saying it was going to suck. Did they listen? No. Why listen when you can waste money and try to validate yourself because of your buyer remorse.
the poorfag cope is already glorious. can't wait for launch
The best thing about VR is that I have never encountered any Brazilians or Eastern Europeans in 3 years of playing
Remember to make those minimum payments on your balance each month, dumbass.
>Use Paypal Credit
>0% interest for first 4 months after +$99 purchase
>only need to pay $250 a month
the best thing about VR games is you can simply put down any criticism as "poorfag cope"
because there is no criticism to be seen. it's just poorfag cope
exactly
What the fuck is dogshit review? A third of the review is completely irrelevant shit.
They don't. You're wrong. Valve is pozzed but so is the entertainment industry as a whole so it doesn't fucking matter.
>enemies are completely dumbed down to accommodate the player
OH NO NO NO NO ALYX DRONES
I BET THE HARD DIFFICULTY IS PITIFUL AS WELL
>I BET
and you'll keep betting since you're a poorfag who'll never play the game
>i couldn't use the gun because I haven't played with it enough to reload under fire
Isn't that just something you pick up?? Why is that the games fault?
>talk how the AI is dumbed down
>doesn't tell us what difficulty he played on
Why are journos like this?
There's a menu options in the video i think he plays on normal
I have a PiMax which demolishes the Valve Index, and I used to be a big (huge) half life fan, but I think as I've gotten older my taste is more refined and I just can't play trash like Half Life 2 these days, Half Life 1 is better and Opposing Force is the best of the bunch, I could still play that, but seriously, a VR game with three guns lol. and trying to cash in on this poorly developed and stunted (aborted) story.
I might pass on it. I'm really in two minds
why would someone who barely used a VR review a VR game? this doesn't make any sense
So he is.
Guess that means Hard difficulty then.
Fucking dropped.
Since we're talking about reviews, this is the review EDGE posted.
because their word for alarm is alarm
>Actually using a gun is harrrrd
Fag.
Yeah because Yas Forums leaks are always true right?
>Same publication made this video too
News flash. Good publications hire different people with different opinions. Shitty ones have a hive mind.
That's... a fair point, actually. No need to wonder if the developers will corral chinks and HUEHUEs in their own ghettos when said chinks and HUEHUEs can barely afford food.
Shame that meaningful VR in MMOs is about a decade away tho
The same reason there's a north american forest outside of city 17, Valve doesn't put much stock into world consistency if it gets in the way of what they want to do.
