Bonus: it also seems that the episodes have been rolled into the base game. Full details of the anniversary update.
I highly recommend this fine indie title. Please give it a try if you haven’t already. And remember, free tvs!
Damn, I already bought it!
… 13 years ago…
But I can use this when gifting to people, right? There’s a couple people I want to send these as a gift to get them to play it.
If not well then I guess I can’t be super passive aggressive in telling them to play it because they don’t have an excuse anymore and actually have to use words…
Try the vr mod for this, so much fun
There’s also the “Unofficial Half Life 2 VR - unleashed” mod, which looks really exciting (I haven’t tried it yet).
There’s also a trailer for the mod.
edit: wordz edit 2: found a trailer
The last PC I built was less than a Valve index. We’re in !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works, I can wait.
You can play the mod on any SteamVR compatible headset, including the very first HTC Vive, the Oculus Rift CV1 and many others. You don’t need an Index to play it
With the Meta Quest 3S coming out this holidays you may be able to get a used Quest 2 dirt cheap, and that’ll do just fine to play PC games.
Do you need a Facebook account to use that?
Yes. And don’t let the “no it’s a meta account only now” crowd play that card. It’s the same company sucking the same data in to the same ad drenched glory hole.
This wasn’t the case with the Quest 1 until it was. You could run that completely standalone with SteamVR after the backlash over a required account, then once the blowback subsided, they reintroduced the requirement.
We learned this last year after dusting off the OG Quest and trying to get it running with SteamVR. It straight refused to work without a FB/Meta account. Creating a new one has a bunch of bullshit hoops that failed when attempted behind any type of ad blocking DNS so I gave up and put the paperweight back in the case and moved on.
Fuck Meta. Fuck FB. And Fuck anything else Zuck and co touch.
Sorry for the rant it’s early and I haven’t had caffeine.
My first ever playthru of half life 2 was this year hehe
