Pre-order bhi ready. Drivers bhi ready. Still no iVRy based Alyx video on OP's channel.

Ready and waiting.

Maybe the PC wasn't ready :hah:

 

[Necrokiller]

Alyx now has 17 perfect scores. To put it in context, Astro Bot has 6.

Damn! Congrats to Valve they still got it even after all these years. Praise Lord GabeN

Lmao Astro Bot isn't even in the conversation.

 

[CerebralTiger]

Half-Life: Alyx is the most immersive VR game to date. But is it the best when it comes to gameplay? A VR-centric critic says no ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah. Its a masterful entry taking the franchise and medium to unparalleled heights.

Lmao Astro Bot isn't even in the conversation.

lol it never was really. Alyx is also the only VR game that has gotten perfect 10/10 from all "VR-centric" critics ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[GoldenHawk]

Not really into VR but HL: Alyx might be something I need to check out. This is giving be hope that Valve might be back to making more entries into their other franchises I wouldn't mind Portal 3 or L4D 3.

Back down to 93 after this review:

AusGamer - 6/10

Too often Half-Life: Alyx feels like baby's first VR shooter and for many — especially those who purchased VR hardware to play it — this isn't a dealbreaker. But trading off the Half-Life name for an introductory course to VR relegates HL: Alyx to spin-off territory when the characters involved and the story it tells could be so much more. Alyx Vance deserves better, and so too do VR gamers.

Certainly was Necrokiller's first VR shooter. Harkatein bhi bachoun waali theen :hah:

 

[Necrokiller]

Now dig up some post where I'm hating on the Half-Life series :lol:

Why dig it up when he provides the evidence of his agenda himself :lol:

Didn't post after Dreams score dropped.
Didn't post after Persona 5 Royal score dropped.
Tries to find flaws in his precious "VR-centric" 10/10 review. Then proceeds to post the lowest "non VR-centric" review excerpts and updated metascore.

Kitna zaleel hoga ye banda apni hi OT mein :hah:

Second play through done. Man, that ending is just so so good. And Chapter 7 is sheer brilliance in game design. The new "We Dont Go to Ravenholm".

------------------

Easy Allies - 10/10

Fans have waited an absurd amount of time for a Half-Life game in any form, but when you're playing, the wait is really the furthest thing from your mind. Alyx is so completely captivating that as soon as you put it down, you want to talk to someone about it, get them to play it, really do anything you can to make them feel the same awe that you do. Like any great VR experience, it's something you can't possibly understand fully until you try it, but once you do, it's hard to recognize Alyx as anything other than a monumental achievement.

GameSkinny - 10/10

Half-Life: Alyx picks up the baton and carries it much further than anybody ever expected of a VR title, let alone a "spin-off" title that isn't technically Half-Life 3. In short, Half-Life: Alyx is here, and it's the real deal. And while I can see myself replaying it many times in the near future, the only question I have now is: "What's next?"

Gaming Age - 10/10

I genuinely cannot find a real fault with this game. Sound design is incredible, the visuals are stunning, the story exceeds all expectations, combat and puzzle design manage to remain true to what fans would want, while also seamlessly translating themselves to the VR space, there is humor, there is horror, everything comes together and creates the perfect Half-Life game. This is the game that VR was waiting for, this is the game that VR was built for, and if you have VR technology, you owe it to yourself to play this game. If you have been waiting for the right game to come along and make the VR purchase worth it, Half-Life: Alyx is it.

Metascore going strong at 93.

Meanwhile...

Ready and waiting.

:lol:

 

[CerebralTiger]

Too busy playing P5R and FFVII. HL Alyx and Ori 2 can wait

Tab tak aap elaborate karo about this "sheer brilliance in game design" :hah:

 

[Necrokiller]

While Doom Eternal's soundtrack was pretty damn good, Alyx's is my fav this year so far (followed by Ori 2).

They are releasing it one chapter at a time.

 

[Necrokiller]

Now that's some impressive shader work right here.
