[@bengregg2632]

21:42 - I need y'all to understand how funny this shot is. Imagine yourself in the shoes of a Combine Soldier: Following the collapse of the Vault, you're on high alert, seeking any non-Combine force that dares encroach upon the vault. Suddenly, a rebel charges from out from the shadows straight towards you! Startled by her sudden appearance, you don't have time to whip out your weapon before she lobs something straight at you. ...it's... a dead rat. She threw a dead rat at you. ... You watch as the rebel scuttles back into the shadows. [Unrelated side note] I agree it IS a shame very few people talk about this... and more-so how very few people can actually experience HL:A in it's intended form...

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

That's because VR is still a gimmick. It's too expensive for what it offers and the hardware requirements for using it are still high. And for HL:A, it was designed for the Valve Index and its individual finger sensors. It was their killer app for those thinking if they should spend 1 thousand dollars on a VR headset.

[@bengregg2632]

​@@BrunodeSouzaLino HL:A was designed with the Valve Index in mind, but it's also designed with considerations/special controls for other native PC VR kits. I literally played through all of HL:A on a pre-owned 2016 HTC Vive (which only cost £300, less than half it's original retail price) and I feel my experience of the game wasn't hampered/cheapened by not buying an Index because Valve actually bothered to test and adapt the game for other - cheaper - controllers. Honestly, Index owners should feel ripped off because HL:A barely uses finger tracking outside of being able to crush small objects... literally Aperture Hand Labs and Moondust (both of which are tech demos for the controllers) utilise finger posing more than HL:A. . . "HL:A being designed only for Index" nitpick aside, I agree... VR just does not have a proper use-case for the average consumer to justify purchasing it. It has some interesting use-cases in medical and simulation fields, but that's it. Nobody has really found/invented a reason for people to buy a VR kit outside of entertainment purposes.

So I did something similar, though somewhat more forgiving. While at the distillery Russell mentions it's been a long time since he's had vodka, so I pick up a bottle and stored it, sacrificing an inventory slot for the rest of the game, to keep a bottle for Russell. The tractor beam into the vault was a heart breaking moment for me as I watched the bottle leave my inventory and I scrambled to try to grab it, only for it to break right in front of my face. Was absolutely devastated. Legit had to take a moment to go cry when that happened before returning to the game and finishing it. I call it the bottle for Russell challenge.

As someone who doesn't own a VR Headset, I do want to own one for Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Handgrenades. It's essentially a "gun museum" type of game, where you have a bunch of accurately modeled real-world guns to play around with. What makes it so compelling for me is I don't want to own any firearms, but would love to mess around with them, and the idea of doing so in VR sounds fun. An extra note is that the game can include all sorts of guns, even ones that are very rare or expensive, so more people can get a better appreciation for them that normal shooters don't provide (due to liberties in design or function).

One affordable option is the PSVR2 as it's cheaper with a good spec, a PS5 is cheaper than a VR spec PC and the PC adapter and SteamVR support coming later this year means you get a roomscale VR headset that works well on multiple platforms.

About 5 years ago a streamer I watch did something very similar in the og Deus Ex. At the end of the first level he happened to be carrying an unconscious enemy guard, and to his surprise the guard managed to make it through the level transition perfectly. He then made it his mission to carry this unconscious guard through the entirety of the game, and named him Miguel. If Miguel was lost or killed it was a reload. Hijinks obviously ensued, with the highlight being the shipyard level - after starting the escape timer the streamer picked up Miguel, ran through the exploding ship, and managed to make it to the exit. He put Miguel down to check to make sure he was fine, and to his horror discovered that he had picked up the wrong person. So he ran back into an exploding ship to rescue this random unconscious guard from the very first level, and had to make the entire journey back to the exit with way less time than the mission was designed for. At the very end of the game the streamer chose the merge option and carried Miguel into the chamber with him, finishing the game by becoming one with Miguel.
