You've just added another month to the release date.
Made the release date ONE MONTH BETTER.
The release date can be calculated as:
x = gabe(n)
Where the function gabe multiplies the number of mentions of the game (signified by n) by months since it’s last mention
We're fucked then
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.
If by "first game" you mean HL1, you could try playing "Black Mesa" which is a fan remake of the game, in the same engine that powers HL2. It's not a 1:1 recreation, but it's close enough (and I feel it improves on some things).
HL2 is also 3 seperate games (HL2, HL2 Episode 1, HL2 Episode 2), so make sure you have all of those in your library.
At the very least, I'd suggest playing HL2/EP1/EP2 before Alyx, since those would provide the expected background for Alyx, despite it technically being a prequel-ish thing.
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.
Bungie announced a new Marathon game
Which is more inspired by rather than a full on sequel from what I've heard.
Half Life 3 is super late
