minus-squareMoobythegoldensock@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agoThat cliffhanger got addressed in Half-Life: Alyx. And replaced with a different cliffhanger.
minus-squareTachyonTele@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38·3 days ago cliffhanger of Eli’s death Uhhh your missing a game there bud.
minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down4·2 days agoA game 90% of people can’t play. Should have left the main narrative alone.

minus-squarewewbull@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·3 hours agoHardly. HL:A is the only game that would interest me in the slightest on VR platforms. No “upgrade” involves buying a dead end platform for one game.

minus-squarelordbritishbusiness@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·3 days agoAs TachyonTele suggested, you may want to play or read into Half Life Alyx. Time travel got involved.
minus-squaresmort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·3 days agoI’ve heard there are mods to play it on a flat screen. Obvs you’d lose a lot of the experience, but that would be a way to get the story.
minus-squarelordbritishbusiness@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoIf possible, I recommend giving Alyx a go, even if you have to borrow a headset, visit a friend, arcade, ect. Not an option for everyone of course, Alyx aside VR is fun and while the entry requirements are getting lower it’s still a leap. Valve will probably summarise the main story change in HL3, which will be a very WTF moment that’s kinda on brand with the scenario.

A game 90% of people can’t play.

“i haven’t upgraded my pc since 1990, it’s not fair they released a game on 2002 pc specs!”

Hardly. HL:A is the only game that would interest me in the slightest on VR platforms. No “upgrade” involves buying a dead end platform for one game.

What if I don’t have VR?

I watched a story recap on yt.
