I think most gamers would have been perfectly happy with a trip to the Borealis just for the closure of the thing, even if the gameplay brought little to nothing new to the table other than some nice new visuals and arctic setpieces.
Instead we got Half Life: Alyx which was a stunning albeit niche experience in the same old City 17, which retconned Episode 2's cliffhanger with another, different cliffhanger. For fuck's sake, Gabe.
Only if you're rich enough to afford VR setup. Fuck me for being born in a third world country, right Gabe?
And are physically abled to play in VR.
I had a VR Headset (Vive Cosmos), but my eyes just aren't up scratch, so I could never enjoy it.
Haha you're poor
Choke on my toes
Don't threaten them with a good time.
It was the same for HL2 though. I played it like 10 years after it was released, didn't make the game worse. With VR the first experience will probably be even better in the future.
This. I didn't (and still don't) need groundbreaking gameplay for Episode 3. I just wanted an ending to the plot.
