taxalot You're playing the flatscreen version? The whole point of the game is to showcase VR technology, so it's no surprise this turned into an exercise in sheer masochism. Hey, that's not news to you soooo good luck!

This. The no-VR mod was never going to be anything but a curiosity.

The whole thing is built from the ground up for VR mechanics.

Finished it.

While I'm certain that the NoVR Mod isn't going to turn the game into a stellar experience at any point, it still feels like the thing needs a bit of work to make gunplay and movement tolerable. Anyways, it was fun for what it was nonetheless !

Anyways, about that ending

The G-Man is implying that his employers want the Combine on Earth. Yet, the Combine have captured the G-man. This doesn't make any sense. We're clearly entering making up shit as they go along territory story wise.

Alyx and Epistle Three prove no matter who was in charge they gave up on the story making any sense after Ep2.

HL2 is awesome in VR.

ALyx is quite bad in flatscreen.
