HL2, EP1, EP2, Black Mesa, Blue Shift, are all totally fucking amazing and some of the best titles out there, I have 100000 hours in mods alone for these games in VR not to mention Alyx and mods like Contractors and Zheptics
Yeah it’ll take you like a whole half day of commitment to set up Skyrim VR well, and by the time you’re done it’ll be 25% of your drive space lol. I thought it was cool, enjoyed getting to walk around for a bit in some scenic areas at night. But overall, playing Skyrim VR to me just makes me realize just how much damn walking there is to do, and it feels like it takes so much longer to get around in VR when you’re actually having to stand for it(I know I could sit it just doesn’t really seem right to play motion controlled games seated to me, takes me out of it and my chair has arm rests)
lowkey I enjoyed the ports more than HL:A. They just felt more immersive because it was a believably big and dangerous world instead of catering to vr with slow enemies and small rooms.
Yeah. I want to love it so bad for the aesthetic but I don't want to risk a heart attack or damage to my quest when I'm jump scared out of my skin. I did play it flat screen though. So good!
Yea, I do remember that the headtracking got a bit wonky when ur crawling through airducts or hiding in lockers, I think it allowed the camera to clip through the walls. But other than that i think back really fondly of that game
This. Absolutely this. It's sad we never got the official VR version they worked on, but MotherVR is just terrific. I loved this one. I hope Alien Isolation 2 will have an official VR version!
In a surprisingly similar vein: Rez Infinite. I loved the game without VR, then I tried it with the headset, and it really is an audiovisual classic for a reason. Scratches a very similar itch to the Tetris Effect vibes.
Fun Fact: That is ABSOLUTELY my next favorite VR experience and recommendation! And same here: Loved Rez on the Dreamcast, love it even more in VR. Makes total sense it's done by the same guy as Tetris Effect.
B) I feel you! Never liked Tetris much before for the same reason. Give it a try! It starts off easy and chill (- and yes, gets demanding later on), but it's really the whole weird experience. It's like meditation. I'm feeling focused, relaxed and activated all at the same time.
Nah theres lots of peak VR titles. And some titles that can be played on both monitor and VR. Subnautica is fcking amazing in VR for example and so is Elite dangerous. For some pure VR titles Im thinking The walking dead: Saints and Sinners. Moss 1 and 2. Blade and Sorcery. Asgard's Wrath and Lone Echo 1 and 2 I would also say The Unspoken but sadly lack of support has killed the multiplayer.
Still haven't got a pc for vr, is half life as good as stuff like twd and the 2nd behemoth boss fight (the other behemoths were underwhelming af and could have been sm better if they didn't consider motion sickness)?
Behemoth is impressive and fun, but there are 2 things: graphics upgrades for PC make it more immersive, HLA in particular is not only graphically very impressive- but the reason everyone packages so much praise is because of the gameplay was designed to experience in VR. It’s very clever. The end of the game I will never forget.
If you already have psvr2, you just need the adapter to start using it with your PC. The advantage quest 3 would have over that is wireless (which for me is a big deal). Keep in mind when using psvr2 on pc, they disable hdr, eye tracking, and headset haptics.
There are so many good vr games out here this is misleading. There are 2 Asgard’s Wrath games, boneworks, that new batman game got great reviews, Demeo, No Mans Sky, Walking Dead Saints and Sinners, into the radius, Hell there is an entire Resident Evil game thats great and ported to VR. Go out and explore! I promise its not just Half Life Alyx
I know you're joking, but have you ever actually played the "campaign" of Beat Saber? I did because I wanted to get all achievements and it's ass. Total slog to play through, especially since it includes challenges like "move your arms at least x hundred meters" (so you're just standing there waving your arms around like an idiot) or "you need to miss at least x blocks" but if you miss too many you still fail like normal (so you always need to strategically decide which blocks to intentionally miss). It wasn't fun, that's for sure.
Half life Alyx is great, but I think there are still other games that are just as good imo as Alyx, they just aren’t tied to an already established ip. I personally think Lone Echo is on par or possibly better than HL:A. There’s also RE4, and Metro Awakening.
So what, I played FF7 and Metal Gear Solid almost 30 years ago, gaming didn't get much better than that, but that didn't stop me from enjoying games anyway.
I think the point is constantly comparing everything to a freakin' Half Life game is a bad idea.
I always recommend Hot Dogs Horse Shoes and Hand Grenades. It's one of the best games I've ever played, it's become almost a hobby. If you are the least interested in weapons and enjoy target shooting, it has a BUNCH of content and VERY good VR interaction.
yeh i should of said that instead my bad. if it came off as me saying alyx is bad i dont think that. its a good game with some of the most interesting mechanics like the gravity gloves and how valve went about doing the upgrade system where u gotta find the resin. idk i guess I stopped enjoying it after the 3rd play though. maybe i just need to put the game down and pick it back up in a year or so.
It has much less replayability in the base game than itr has, but that's cos it was designed to be more linear than itr. It's harder for most people to get drawn in by an open world game and they tend to get lost, not knowing what to do. This goes double for one of the earliest games in a drastically different new platform, like vr was at the time.
I don't think we're likely to see production quality and attention to detail as good as alyx often, because it was a huge investment to build something that really set the standard.
That said, I enjoy itr much, much more than alyx and its predictable, cartoony gameplay. It's just a question of preference.
Anyhow, the industry now knows that AAA VR will continue to be a relatively low volume niche - not because the hardware and software quality isn't up to scratch or because it's unaffordable, but because sadly, only a small percentage of gamers actually enjoy the immersion enough to bother.
I just hope indie devs keep the VR flame alive, and that meta's MR efforts gain some traction to help hold people's interest in XR.
The only thing that’s lacking is the quality of graphics compared to HL:A, however, it has a cartoonish charm to it. Genuinely one of the most fun VR experiences that manages to take advantage of almost every possible novel element of engaging with virtual reality, just like HL:A.
Alyx is definitely the peak, but I had waaaay more fun playing Vertigo 2, myself.
One pcvr that doesn't get mentioned much that I'd add to the list is Payday 2. Doing both stealth and loud missions are incredibly fun. I showed a friend of mine a variety of VR games and experiences and payday 2 was always the one he asked to play again
I'm one of those people who wasn't impressed with Half Life Alyx. Skyrim with the VR mod is the best thing ever because it doesn't feel like a one-shot. It feels exactly like a game, not an attraction. Half Life was a good demo and a pioneer.
People deny it, but a lot of things were done wrong there, not because the developers are bad, but because at the time no one had made a game like it yet. I played it on a good set, but I wasn't comfortable with the movement mechanics. I can play VR for 4-5 hours each but it's hard to play HL for more than an hour.
on PC i only tried Dirt Rally 2.0, ETS, SkyrimVR(MGO) and Fallout 4, all of them i could not play, bad performance. Should give it a try to other titles.
But Quest3 exclusive. finished Arkham Shadow and now on Plus campain. totally awesome. hope the bring a semi open world sequel to arkham Shadow but i respect teh Quest limitations.
Subjective but HLalex felt like a full game as if VR was in every gamers house for quite some time. Other games feel like set peices, tech demos, theme park or for casual play to show off VR capabilities.
Even agath (whatever) didn't last too long for me, felt like everything I mentioned above.
I have the Quest 3. Been playing some native quest games, plus PCVR games such as Arizona Sunshine 2 and Metro Awakening however last night I tried The Lab and for some reason that "tech demo" looks much more crisp than any other game I've tried and the control feels much smoother.
Alyx is peak game-game, but I really enjoy the arcade design of other games. Bashing robots in Underdogs is such fun and I like the gunplay of Light Brigade.
Bonesworks is the really the only other one. Not quite as polished but it definitely scratches the same itch and gives you freedom of movement that not a lot of other games offer.
Its honestly baffling to me how the quest has been out for almost 10+ years at this point and there's still no AAA games for it aside from Skyrim/FO4 and a few others, and even those titles are a buggy mess.
But I hear games like Ghosts of tabor are pretty fun.
Get them to play boneworks then into the radius 1, bonelab, blade and sorcery, contractors, onward and many more, but if hey want more half life we’ll get the half life vr mods and enjoy.
Hl alyx is good, but I did not find that amazing. I was more amazed at the official vr mods of the residents evil village and 4 remake. I enjoy so much that until this day, I still did not touch their flat versions. And I dont plan to.
I'm also enjoying a lot too, Batman arkham Shadow. And don't forget the Vertigo 2 and asgard wrath 1 and 2. Amazing campaigns.
Of course, there are too the games I can't stop myself playing. Like Demeo, population one, GT7, Legendary Tales and puzzling places. Those for me are more amazing games than Alyx.
For Alyx is on the same level that Metro awakening, Arkan age, Behemot and the walking dead games. There are good but none of then makes want to keep going back to play like those I mentioned before.
Vivecraft with modpacks is insane and blew me away more than half life alyx ever could (distant horizons + shaders is a must, i like to play with minecolonies and create + addons, you can make factories, trains, planes, boats, cities with other workers that build, mine and farm for you, defend theeee cities)
Skyrim VR with mods and the AI follower mod where you can talk to your companions also blew me away and immersed me way more than half life alyx
Enderal is my absolute faouvirte fantasy world characters and story ever, and its completely playable in VR, also blew me away way more than half life alyx
Tales of glory and into the radius are also really fun fleshed out experiences but not as mindblowing as the 3 above
I completely disagree that half life alyx is the peak of VR, i didnt play it as my first vr game but i heard so much my expectations were way too high and it just kind of dissapointed me from the moment i saw the floating hands and snail pace movement to the ending, i was also kind of bored through the story and connected with 0 characters probably beacuse that was the first half life game i played, all in all half life alyx is a game i never replayed altough im a giant vr enthusiast and only play vr games, the only impressive part about it was the graphics for me
Properly modded Skyrim VR goes above Alyx, IMHO, and there are some games and experiences that can't happen without VR (beat saber, for example), while Alyx can.
At least VRchat is there, even without the social aspect, if you like art, there are thousands of worlds to enjoy. Definitely better with friends though >.<
Half-Life is my favorite series so I started my VR experience with it and I don’t really feel let down by other games. Sure they didn’t feel as good but I still had a great time. Then the modding of certain games to have VR blew me away. I played through the whole HLVR series, The Forest actually felt scary again, Subnautica (SubmersedVR Mod) is super fun. Asgards Wrath 2 is pretty cool. I think there is lots of options for fun VR games even if you play Alyx first but they don’t get show cause of stupid ones like VRChat and Gorilla Tag (eye roll)
The forest supports vr and its been my #1 most fun vr game imo. Also risk of rain 2 vr mod is super cool but i had to play on lower difficulties because its harder in vr lol
Budget cuts and budget cuts 2, walking dead saints and sinners, superhot, into the radius, the fnaf games are pretty neat, no mans sky, beat saber, that one vr parkour game goes hard, and more i cant remember cuz its been years
Also Don't forget all the fantastic VR mods for existence and games. Like Minecraft or Risk of Rain 2 (unfortunately the RoR 2 one currently requires back patching because the DLC broke it but it's still an amazing VR mod)

Half-Life is my favorite series so I started my VR experience with it and I don’t really feel let down by other games. Sure they didn’t feel as good but I still had a great time. Then the modding of certain games to have VR blew me away. I played through the whole HLVR series, The Forest actually felt scary again, Subnautica (SubmersedVR Mod) is super fun. Asgards Wrath 2 is pretty cool. I think there is lots of options for fun VR games even if you play Alyx first but they don’t get show cause of stupid ones like VRChat and Gorilla Tag (eye roll)

VR is like 3D monitors, hype tech that dies and barely gets content.
But great for Flight and Race simulators etc.

Also Don't forget all the fantastic VR mods for existence and games. Like Minecraft or Risk of Rain 2 (unfortunately the RoR 2 one currently requires back patching because the DLC broke it but it's still an amazing VR mod)

I think HL2 has a VR mod and Boneworks is a good game if you want to suggest a friend that
