forrest@gamingonlinux the length at which a community will go to REMOVE VR from a game is telling.
@buru5 well it is expensive and not exactly accessible eh
Aitor Tejedor@gamingonlinux while I can't wait to try this game, I've been told multiple times Alyx MUST be played on VR to fully enjoy it as it was realized. I guess I'll be waiting to buy some VR headset. No idea when that will happen, though...
dlove67@tejedoraitor @gamingonlinux I haven't played the non-vr version, but I can't imagine it can compare. Using your hands to search through the environment for ammo and upgrades is something else.
Just watch the trailer for an idea of what I'm talking about (~1 min mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2W0N3uKXmo
Also the grabbity gloves are just a fun mechanic. Not to mention the gunplay.

The Original Party Worm@tejedoraitor @gamingonlinux 100%. HLA has a great story, but you would be doing yourself a great disservice by not playing it in VR at least the first playthrough. The world Valve built around VR is incredible.
Sylver W. Poulsen@gamingonlinux I loved this when I played through it on my Vive, though the Jeff section freaked me out 😝.
toallpointswest@gamingonlinux I need to get this update, had the game since it came out but haven't played it yet
