Portal 3 confirmed, or whatever it is you fellas always say.

On a serious note, another VR game by Valve sounds delicious, I spent like 15 minutes just playing with stuff in the room you spawn in in HL: Alyx - the painting on windows was brilliant.

While not the best game I ever played, it blew my mind. It's extremely well done VR.

That seems to be Valve's MO. They don't make a ton of games, but they're pretty much all fantastic.

The one that does the buttholes!?

Valve has to buy up all the modders because they can't afford to have them making mods that fix CS2 that end up killing the player base on the main game.

I wish they would make Half Life Alyx available for flat screen.

There's a mod for that but I can already tell you that it's not a very fun game without VR.

[–] Drbreen 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I've tried the mod and it wasn't very good. And I can totally get why it wouldn't be the same as VR has very different game mechanics.

I wish they would make Wii Sports for standard controllers.

I want Just Dance, but for racing wheels.

It wouldn't be nearly as good. VR is what makes this game as good as it is.
