The idea of exploring an AI made map is awesome, it feels like your in a space your not supposed to be in, like a secret hidden Easter egg or undeveloped map. The combat is awesome, if i purchase any VR game it will be boneworks, especially with the detail in the playermodel and the environment

[@sqlevolicious]

Guess you haven't see HL:Alyx yet......

[@loganlehmann6418]

@@sqlevolicious I've seen it, and I'm excited for it but I wish it was just an ordinary flat game. but I will probably just watch a playthru as I'm not willing to buy valves expensive headset just for that game.

[@sqlevolicious]

@@loganlehmann6418 First off, Valve only makes VR games now, and Valve invented modern VR 8+ years ago, so obviously they don't want to make dumb flatgames that offer so little compared to VR. Also, you don't need the Valve Index to play HL:A, you can buy a WMR kit for $130 that does the job perfectly fine. I own many VR kits, from the cheapest to the most expensive. I would recommend to get the Rift S for $399 for HL:A, but if that is still too much, go for Samsung Odyssey+ for $230. Of course, once you try VR, you'll understand how ignorant your comment is and why the Index is worth buying for this game. Also there are plenty of great VR games you may find better than HL:A depending on your tastes. Boneworks, Asgard's wrath, Stormland, Vertigo 2, Lone Echo 2, Vader Immortal, Trover Saves the Universe, Vox Machinea, Windlands 2, Robo Recall, H3VR (hotdogs, horseshoes and hand grenades), Blade & Sorcery, Cosmic Trip, Espire 1, Arizona Sunshine, MMORPG OrbisVR, Space Junkies, Gorn, Fujii, Holoception, VTOL VR, Rec Room, Tilt Brush, SuperHot VR, Virtual Virtual Reality, Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, Onward, Pavlov, Contractors vr, Zero Caliber, Compound vr, google earth vr, virtual desktop, skyrimvr, NMSVR, so many amazing VR games and that is just off the top of my head. Very important to add that you can cure motion sickness in 2-3 weeks by taking baby steps with artificial locomotion and irl movement in VR. Caring to avoid your subconscious associating nausea with VR. Takes patience for acclimation. Also important to add that VR doesn't require tons of space and that standing in one place can get you a great VR experience, but more room = more fun!

[@jopo6445]

@@HGGdragon They might be the same thing

[@shadow7988]

It's not like there's much competition right now. There's only like 3-4 legitemate shooters for VR, all of them made by small teams(Or even just one guy, in regards to Onward) with low experience and budget and it shows. And to make it worse, outside of just shooters, most VR games are just teleport-locomotion galleries or so gimmicky they can barely even be called a full game. The biggest thing holding VR back isn't hardware or pricing necessarily, but the lack of a killer app or two. I love Pavlov, Onward, Zero Caliber, Vox machinae and the like, but it's been YEARS and I can count the 'real' vr games pretty much on one hand and maybe an extra finger or two if you really stretch it. I feel like 2019, with the announcement of Valve's new headset and a few supposed unannounced games from multiple devs that are going to be a bit more 'serious' about quality level are what's going to really make or break VR gaming as a platform right now.

[@MaxLohMusic]

The level of detail, physics-wise, is UNPRECEDENTED. People generally don't know this but in every other video game today (even VR) the enemy bodies are powered by pre-made animations. Just the fact that they used REAL PHYSICS to power the headphone-crabs is AMAZING. I'm the biggest hater and skeptic of VR ever, due to the fact that positional tracking can never fully solve the "de-sync problem" if you're ever thrown, blocked, countered in-game and your real-life pose no longer matches the one in the game. Conventional VR "solves" this by making you a fucking god and everyone else a ragdoll. But BONEWORKS actually makes an effort to solve the de-sync problem without giving the player infinite strength. This video gives me GOOSEBUMPS; at some points I literally felt like I was watching a science fiction movie scene of someone playing a game instead of it happening for real. You guys are making history!
