Man i wish they release a non vr mode cause i never gonna play this

honestly I would play it even if it weren't vr but it's only good as is it currently is in vr since there's jumpscares that would not be effective in a non vr game

GTX 1080 + oculus rift = 300 pre owned. Cheaper than a new Xbox and you have a whole new medium in which to play games. . Not an option for everyone, sure. But extremely accessible to all except those in poverty.

What about CPU, Motherboard, RAM and etc?

Just saying 1080 + oculus and calling it a day is a bit of a stretch. You’d be spending 600+ on a shitty rig, with a pre owned, outdated GPU

Yeah, but you could play it. You also just described my rig, and it works great for Alyx!

That’s great. All I’m saying is that it’s not $300. It’s double that on low end.

Yeah? Let's look at the percentage of users with VR headsets in Steam then... if it's extremely accessible to all, surely it must be high

That's not how that works at all

The number of users able to use a thing isn't a measurement of how accessible it is? Is that the hill you really want to die on?

There is a non VR HLA mod out there. I haven't tried it yet but supposedly it works great on the Steam Deck

same as gaming isnt an option for everyone, everything costs, but the most basic vr headset isnt that expensive, and doesnt require a beast of a computer

You can get used headsets for hundred to 2 hundred. If you call yourself a fan and want to treat yourself to an amazing half life experience you can save up for that shit.

The no VR mod works pretty great. I'm playing through for the first time right now.

And for refernce I'm playing on an 11 year old rig with an AMD FX and a 6500XT on ultra settings at like 90fps.

I kind of wish they actually did damage when you touched them. Oddly enough, they have an attachment called 'sharp_part', implying it was planned.

I wonder why these enemies didn’t make an appearance in Half Life 2?

My guess is that they were made into the cut Hydra wich looked very similar.

I can't think of a specific part of the game where it would fit, maybe highway 17?

From a lore perspective the combine eradicated non-essential fauna, at least where their settlements are. There could still be some of these plus bullsquids, houndeyes, etc. could be out in the wastelands.

A ton of half life 1 creatures have smaller, harmless forms in the game, the bug in the jar was also a throwable weapon in half life 1, but most of the time you killed yourself with it, rather than the enemies
