So, Half-Life: Alyx released today, and holy fucking SHIT. This is setting a gold standard for VR, from the physics to environmental interaction, and more. I'm only about less than an hour in, if I were playing at normal speed. But I can't stop poking around at everything, so I'm at about 3 hours actual time.
I shook food flakes out for a pet grub (who hopped up all excited and munched away). I threw a bottle of wine at a pigeon. I daintily grabbed the tip of a telescoping antenna, and extended it. I picked up a soda can, then crushed it. I never knew a door knob could be so entertaining.
Also, the little Easter eggs are wildly entertaining. For example, I found a hard hat. I picked it up and tried to put it on. And I'm now wearing a hard hat!
I found a respirator. I picked it up and tried to put it on my face. And now I'm wearing a respirator!
I found a dead headcrab that I shot moments earlier. I picked it up and tried to put it on my head.
Unfortunately, you can not wear headcrabs as hats.
My disappointment knows no bounds, -2/10 hot garbage.
jk I'm loving this so friggin much
UPDATE: I can wear a BUCKET. HAHAHA. I can't see anything, but it's totally a wearable option
