Subtitles allowed to show interesting details about Combine AI/behaviors. Pretty cool that AI can understand tactical situation and acknowledged the fact that player wasn't aggressively pushing forward.

[@Virus610]

It kind of humanizesv the combine a little, weirdly.

[@LoooSeR78V]

@@Virus610 Yeah. Also, their animations are pretty cool, a lot of mocap are used even for basic movement. But AI have problems with reaction to fire, they are not getting away from player's line of fire even after repeated shots. Maybe it was like a gameplay balance decision, people in VR are less sharp with combat (based on my experience of VR and looking at friends playing). I do think Valve heard some of criticism of HL2 combine soldiers radiochatter being hard to understand and generally being "cold", which some people found to be boring and generic.

@@LoooSeR78V Haha, yeah. This other video I uploaded is a great example of enemies not hiding: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJfWkJWZjb1sbdk I remember them being much smarter about taking damage in half Life 1. Though they are definitely a lot more cautious in their approach, now. Agreed about the hl2 chatter. I used to think they were just speaking an Alien language, because it was so hard to understand.

@@LoooSeR78V Their animations re mo caped then remade by hand.

@@Virus610 I think them reacting to grenades landing to their feet would end up making battle more difficult than it already is.

Remember he cant actually see the hud we see. He has to look at his hands to see what stuff he has.

[@qwertyuiopoiuytrewp]

@@djcuevas1057 Even if he can't see it like we do, why would he still make that remark?

[@michaelk284]

@@qwertyuiopoiuytrewp Because he probably saw his hands. That HUD doesn't show in the Headset, only on your PC monitor.

[@sharp14x]

Ammo count is shown on the left hand.

[@aeneas.csproj]

mmm 90 ammo goes pretty quickly in hl alyx

[@noxyu2806]

This moment cas so intense.! I still have to finish the game tho

[@D.M.S.]

They should create a runningpad

[@Virus610]

I think that's the big thing VR is lacking right now. Some ability to walk around entirely with your feet, without having infinite space. I hope it happens, but I know there are a lot of different implementations in the works, all with their own sets of flaws. Not the least of all being price.

[@D.M.S.]

@@Virus610 1000 Euro or Dollars is just too much

[@WiewiurTV]

@@D.M.S. there is an omnidirectional vr running pad made for military.. but I think we're light years from it , (don't mean the overpriced civilian version of it)

[@Neo2266.]

Somebody tried, it was shit people are working on leg tracking though

[@thescruffinator8830]

@@Virus610 That's already a thing for only like 500 usd.

[@user-xt6wk1qg3p]

як же весело це виглядає зі сторони. Шукаю того, хто вже здійснив мою задумку - пограти на відкритій місцевості, десь на стадіоні, де можна не тиснути на стік, а переміщувати в грі реальною ходьбою. так і нудити не буде, і цікавіше процесс. Я поки по кімнаті бігаю, але цього замало

[@SquarecowStudios]

Can you play this game normally or is it exclusive to VR?

[@winogronobiae5825]

Slash Raptor its vr exclusive

[@SquarecowStudios]

Bah... I can't afford a VR setup.

[@Virus610]

@@SquarecowStudios It's getting cheaper. Might be a while, but VR will get down to a reasonable price, hopefully soon.

[@SquarecowStudios]

Not that I really care, VR just seems like a gimmick to me. By playing a game, I'm already experiencing it. I don't need to literally jump inside the game world.

[@handysoapy]

Slash Raptor Fair enough but it is quite literally heaven for those who do want to and those who want to be immersed in the world they may spend hours in

[@midnightdragon67]

AIM THE FUCKING FUN PROPERLY AGHH

[@Virus610]

Game was capturing my left eye, not the right one. I assure you, I was aiming properly, just badly.

[@dougmasters4561]

that squeely noise in the combat music is so obnoxious,
